Bear with me

Tyrfing · 12-30-2021, 12:54 AM

The stranger reacted quickly, throwing himself between Tyrfing and the bear before it could land a second hit upon his sore body. The man's paw came up and over the beast's eyes, bringing from it's maw a mighty, angry roar that compelled Tyrfing into action. He watched as the stranger first called the bear away from him, then lunged for it's throat. The long sabers hanging down past the wolf's jaws were not a mutation that was rare to see, but each time Fin saw them utilized in combat he found himself awestruck by their strength.

Reminded of his own mutation, the yearling sprung forward once more. Rather than pick a losing fight at the bear's massive face, he threw himself at the creature's side and sunk his cat-claws into the flesh there. The pain to the bear was nothing compared to the gaping wounds on it's neck, and Tyrfing's clinging barely managed to cause mild annoyance to it. The stranger hit the ground hard and coughed, clearly winded, and the bear continued forward with Tyrfing clinging to his side.

He flexed his paws hard and began to scale the grizzly, moving as carefully as he could fueled by so much desperation. Each step the bear took felt like it would throw him from it's back, and Tyrfing crawled across it's spine swaying with the motion and feeling weirdly sea-sick. Once he reached the bear's head, the Viking yearling acted out of impulse. He lifted and threw his paws down, wrapping them around the bear's head and digging the feline claws into both eyes at once. The bear roared in pain, backpedaling from the koi wolf and thrashing it's head to dislodge the yearling, forcing Fin to simply hold on for dear life and pray. "Oh god, kill it, I'm slipping!" He yelled.
