Hangry Bear

He could hardly believe it, Hikaru survived the curse and plague of mushrooms. He coughed up the last of the spores and they fell from his fur. The koi was one again whole. He didn’t take much time to recover, he didn’t need to, and he was back out in the field with Kotori again. They made a good team against the plethora of predators that threatened the lands they lived. Of course with all the illness it was hard to look as strong as they once had. Now that the illness was clearing up, it was time to clean house. All the local predators would think twice before approaching the Armada’s borders.

Of course, as he and Kotori patrolled the borders a huge bear found its attention on them. Hika’s silver eyes peered at the creature, stained by ooze with scars littering its body. Obviously it had taken a sharp downturn during the time of darkness. Now though it was recovering, it was thin and sickly. They were given enough time that Kotori could spout off a quick plan and Hika leapt into action. He half hid himself behind a swell as the other warrior got the bear’s attention. Hika waited to strike at just the last moment.
