There's a new sheriff in town

In her increasingly more frequent trips to Firefly Lake as they began to stake their claim and make preparations to make this a permanent part of their territory, Manea noticed a scent train that was very distinctly ursine in nature. There had been numerous bears that they had to drive out of the caves around the island before they could settle there and it seemed they would need to do the same around the lake to make sure it was going to be safe for them to reside here.

She gathered a few of her pack members to accompany her for the task of flushing them out and clearing out the territory. Normally she probably would have just brought Alastor since she knew her and her husband could handle it on their own, but this was a good chance for some of the others to have some fun and get some experience at the same time. Walking out to the lake with Imperia, Arcturus, and Merrick, she began to search around with them for the polar bear she had scented here before. "I caught it this direction before," she said to them softly, pointing around to the right side of the lake.

It certainly didn't take long to find the massive predator, spotting its white form at the edge of the frozen lake, at least partially hidden among the ice capped cattails and reeds. She glanced to her party, pausing among the brush as well to plan with them a bit. "Be smart and don't get yourselves hurt. Merrick, why don't you make the first move and Arcturus you back him him. Imperia, you'll be with me and we'll ambush the bear from behind once they've engaged it. Understood?"
