Bear with me

Raijin watched as the yearling sprung into action, leaping to sink his surprisingly retractable claws into the predator’s side and scale his way up onto its back. It was an impressive feat considering the boy’s size, and in a smart, decisive move, he reached down to sink his claws into the bear’s eyes. The predator roared in pain, trying to throw his companion who cried out for him to kill it, and the Genji man needed no more prompting. He lunged forward, jaws opening for the last time as he sank his sabers directly into its throat. Blood, which was already spurting from the deep neck wound he’d inflicted, coated his pelt drenching him in it’s glowing liquid hue. The bear stumbled under their combined weight, a wheezing, coughing roar bubbled from its mouth as the air supply was cut off. Already weakened from loss of blood, the predator swayed, took another stumbling step, then collapsed to the ground on its side. Raijin didn’t let go, however, not until the odd bear took its last, shuddering breath and moved no more.
