Kore watches Kal as his brother moves, doing as the nebula-hued boy had instructed and making his way to the blind wolf. Seeing that Kalyke is doing as instructed, the galaxy-clad pup quickly shifts his attention back to the bear, noting that the beast has its mouth open. In the silence that the beeswax offers, Kore finds that, where there should be an ear-splitting roar, there is only silence and a grin finds its way onto his lips. Not so intimidating without sound mister grizzly. In response to the bear’s show of anger, a growl builds in Kore’s chest. He feels it move up into his throat, rolling past his vocal cords until it rips out past his bared teeth. Front legs spread as he drops his center of gravity, his fighting training kicking in as ears pin back, eyes narrow, scruff scrunches and tail tucks.
This bear is going down.
A throaty snarl rents the air, finding its way out of Kore’s throat as he lunges forward to snap at the air near one of the bear’s front legs, successfully pulling its attention away from Kal and the wolf. Bright blue eyes spare a glance over to the stranger and his brother, finding that Kalyke’s lips are moving. Good, everything will be okay now, they can work as a team. Eyes shift back to the angry bear and the boy made of nebulas has to dance backward a few steps to avoid a huge paw swinging at him. The world may be silent but Kore is noticing new things. Like the way the cluster of muscles of the shoulder bunch when it prepares a swing. Or the subtle shifting of weight off the paw that will make the swipe.
Watching a moment more, the boy waits until he sees the telltale shifting that signals it will be swinging its left paw. Kore had been preparing for it, pulling his own weight off his front paws while keeping his form. The moment the paw is up in the air, he pushes off the ground with his back paws, releasing the coiled energy in an explosion of speed. Running straight at the bear, he waits until the last possible minute to shift toward the lifted paw, running under the attack and around the side of the bear. As he passes its back leg, the nebula-clad pup delivers a sharp bite that has the grizzly turning to follow him. Or, at least he thinks it follows him. As he makes his way behind the bear, Kore spies the blue wolf and his brother but… she is backing up?
As the pup made of stars runs out of attack range, he spins to see the paw swipe wasn’t aimed at him but the stranger. He comes to stand in line with the other two and Kore shoots his brother a grin before looking back to the bear. It roars at the trio, and another smile appears as the pup cannot hear it. He does not take his eyes off the bear, he cannot afford to. A strategy forms as he looks at the hulking beast. His brother cannot run because he cannot breathe. The unknown wolf cannot see where the bear is going to attack. Its time to level the playing field. Eyes search the bear’s muscle groups, looking to see which paw will be swinging next. There it is, the subtle shift off the right paw and the tensing of its right shoulder. The attack is plan to see and Kore lowers his center of gravity and shifts his weight back in preparation.
The moment the right paw begins to lift off the ground, the galaxy pup is off and running. Paws churn as he bolts the short distance toward the grizzly, aiming for it left front leg. The bear’s attack is locked in, the swing already being released when the boy lowers his head and collides with his target. He feels the leg buckle as he slams full force into the middle. He knows the moment the tendons stretch to their limits, in the bear’s leg, and when he pushes them past said limit. Bone snaps, tendons pull away from the bone and the grizzly, with his right paw raised, crashes onto its side. The hit jars Kore, sending him reeling to the ground but he quickly regains his paws and gives his head a small shake. Looking to his brother and blue wolf, he smiles while the bear flails its three working legs.
Time to end its life.
