It's Not Spring Yet!

She had surely expected to run into all kinds of predators in their trip through the mountains. Bears, bobcats perhaps, maybe some snow leopards... but cannibal wolves?! That one really threw her for a loop and she could tell it had done the same to Saracyn. She chuckled softly as he commented on how it had been 'something' and she couldn't possibly agree more. "Yeah... that was certainly something." Luckily neither of them had really taken any wounds from the encounter, but that was certainly going to make her think twice about passing through strange caves and tunnels from now on. They continued on their way further north and she leaned her side lightly into his as they went until he nudged her with his shoulder and told her to watch as he darted forward toward the wall that had come up ahead of them. She smirked and kept walking toward the wall while he sprinted ahead, leaping on top of the wall and disappearing over onto the other side with an admittedly impressive flip.

"Good job, Sara!" she called after him with a light laugh and a little shake of her head, exasperated and amused at her brother—until she suddenly heard a roar coming form where he had just landed. The smile fell off of her face and she sprinted forward, worry twisting at her when she heard her brother calling for help. She leapt up on top of the wall much like Saracyn had, but paused there on top of the rocks as she assessed what was going on down below. The bear was still within reach and she saw Sara rolling to his feet, landing in a fighting stance and biting at the bear's ankle. While the bear was occupied with Sara, Avacyn timed her jump and leapt from the wall right onto the grizzly's back, her feline claws sinking into the bear's thick pelt and giving her plenty of leverage to hold on with. It roared and started trying to rear back with her on top of it, but she bit hard right at the base of its skull, giving her even more grip on the predator and tearing at its neck at the same time.
