We Need To Stop Meeting Like This...

Chade roamed to hunt, fight, or just keep building up his stamina.  He was getting a promotion!  The last thing he could do is let down the pack and get lazy.  Jogging along the rocky exterior Chade slowed as he heard a sound that put a smile on his face, then the smile faded with a look of surprise.  The fun part was another bear to kill, the surprise being he’d apparently found that donkey again.

Chade stepped into the mine opening and paused.  Hopefully, the donkey could survive a few more seconds as Chade just felt as he’d dived into a bucket of memories.  Ry and Chade had used caves several times when they were smaller for protection.  That was when the sickness was about and they expected death around every corner.  Well, Chade was no longer small.

Shaking himself from memories CHade barreled through the mine, following the direction the sound had come from and noticing it oddly was going the same path as the strange lines in the ground.  Spotting donkey and bear.  The donkey was again actually fighting and had Chade a bit impressed with it.

Chade didn’t break stride but just ran straight at the bear.  Chade leaped into the air as if he planned to try and jump high over the bear, but he didn’t put any real length into the jump.  The bear had raised up into a half-crouch and Chade got in underneath, launching up and grabbing onto its neck. He had no time to hold on though, the bear was already crashing back to the earth and Chade’s paws felt ground beneath.  Hot breath met Chade and he attempted to get out of range of the teeth.  A bear paw came to swipe at him.  Chade spun about, bit the paw, eyeing the teeth that were so close to his face, teeth biting the sensitive palm before he let go and ran off a few strides, snarling in challenge at the bear which roared in rage at them both.
