The Enemy of My Enemy

Gossamer shrieked as the bear started to lunge for her but instead it whipped around and went for the boy who had poked it in the butt. Gossamer immediately grabbed her own spear and twisted her head as sharply as she could so that the point of her spear jabbed the bear's rear as well while the boy's magpie harassed it. Ásta also joined the fray. The fox leapt onto the bear's back, her graceful head snaking forward and latching onto an ear. The bear thrashed and twisted sending the fox flying. Gossamer steading her grip on her spear then charged, seeking to ram the spear into the inside of the bear's thigh where the skin was thinner. This time she drew blood and while it was only a scratch it was enough to draw the bear's attention to her. Uh oh.

"Run! Both of you!" Heeding her companion she dropped her spear and ran while Ásta and Kári continued their assault to distract the bear.
