Apollinaris Galanis Molon Labe His eyes glanced away from the bear long enough to see the woman run at the creature herself, and Apollinaris was glad she didn't take the opportunity to tuck tail and run. He would no doubt have taken on the bear alone, foolish or not, but it was better to have the company. The scent of blood had incensed the creature - then another flash of white caught his eye, and Apollinaris glanced away again to see a young child scurry away from the bison. That glance was enough for him to catch a claw to his shoulder, and the pain brought his attention back to the bear. He leapt back at another attempted swipe, but the bear's attention was switched to the woman. She must have made contact, since the bear was beginning to twist around to switch targets. Apollinaris took the opportunity and lunged. The neck was the best place for an attack, but it wasn't quite the right moment for that. Instead, he opted for the bear's own shoulder. Sabers ripped through fur and flesh, the man pushing as much as he could to try and find a tendon, ligament, bone - something to sever and hobble the creature. Unsure of what damage he had actually inflected, Apollinaris withdrew and side stepped some more, this time back toward the bear's hindquarters. Blood smeared the man's shoulder but he ignored the pain, taunting the bear as he took a few more steps back. |
