It's Not Spring Yet!

The bear took Avacyn for a ride while she clung to its back and tore away at the back of its neck right at the base of its skull. It tossed her around a bit while it was trying to get her off, but that dance didn't last long as Saracyn dove in for it again. She couldn't see him from where she was, but she felt the bear's attention shift from trying to get her off to whatever her brother was up to. After a few moments she felt the bear start to topple so she left go and leapt off of its back, landing gracefully several feet away with a crunch of snow under her paws. She spun around, seeing Saracyn going in for its exposed belly and tearing away at the tender skin. She bounded back over toward them to help, but just as she reached him the bear's heavy paw swatted at her brother and sent him toppling through the snow.

With a snarl and a growl in her chest, Avacyn leapt onto the bear again, keeping it from being able to get up as she landed with her paws on its neck and shoving its head back down to the ground. Her claws sank deep into the side of its neck, earning another angry, pained roar from the bear even before she lunged down with open jaws, her teeth gripping around one of its ears and ripping it away, exposing a large patch of ragged flesh where the tattered remains of its ear were. In the bear's pained panic it quickly rolled back onto its feet with complete disregard of her or what she was doing. With her claws still hooked into its skin she ended up partially draped over the back of its neck and partially on its back and she scrambled to reposition herself so that her forelegs were reaching around its neck, her claws tearing through its throat up near its jaw while the claws of her back feet hooked into its shoulders in a much less stable or graceful grip than she had before.
