Bears, Bears, And More Bears

Though he was small, Strix had shown more initiative to learn about fighting than the rest of his sons, save Cerberus. Size didn't matter to the big brute. Skill mattered. With Strix's current skill level, Chimera was more than okay with letting the boy explore the dam on his own. Exploring the Cedars, however... there were still a great number of bears in the land. It was too dangerous thus far. Perhaps in the future his children would be able to walk alone there, but for now, they needed accompaniment.

Speaking of bears...

A large grizzly came out of the trees, moving towards them. As if the other shredded bears weren't lesson enough or warning enough. It seemed that yet another lesson was in order. Chimera nodded to his son then ran straight for the bear. They never expected a head on attack and the beast was even more distracted by the bites being delivered to its heels and haunches. Chi bit into one muscled cheek and the bear grunted, shaking its head and the wolf off. It was angry now. Great.
