Eligos was travelling north once more to see the ice bridge, to see if it still existed or if it had been broken apart by the force of the sea upon it. Cypher and Kida were travelling with him, though Kida had begun her first heat cycle so she was irritable and snappy with Cypher, and he was beginning to think he should have left one of them back with the pack to keep an eye on things - and keep them separate until the season passed. As it was he had Cypher out scouting in a wide arc in front of them, partly for practice for the still-energetic young dog and partly for his own sanity.

Since he was neither interested in Kida's heat scent nor receptive to any attempts to quarrel, the two of them loped side by side in unbroken silence, until ahead of them a sudden screeching volley of barks brought their attention to the northeast of them - and a deep bellow nearly drown it out and had them both leaping into a sprint.

Coming out of the trees Eligos saw Cypher squared off with a giant white bear. The dog's hackles were up and he was in a crouch, one hind leg dragging and clearly broken, covered in blood from the claw marks across his thigh, but was stubbornly holding his ground. The giant of a bear was weaving back and forth in front of him, clearly nerving up for a murderous charge that would crush the interloper under him. Eligos gave it no time to make up its mind for murder - he rushed in and slammed into its flank with his shoulder, slamming his newly-horned and unfortunately still sore head into the fleshy upper part between ribs and hip. Kida, with her own roaring furious barking, snapped onto the bear's ear, shaking her head viciously and not letting go until he batted her away with a bellow. They just needed to hold the bear until the injured young malinois could get far enough away to be safe.
