Staking Our Claim, Killing More Bears

Tove had charged straight into the fight, knowing that someone would appear to back her up. As she retreats, the earthen coat of Kotori appears from behind the hulking grizzly, effortlessly leaping on top of the bear’s back and attacking its ear. The bear roars, shifting its attention to the wolf on its shoulders. If she had time, the older woman would tut at the beast for its stupidity but, as it is, the opening is only there for a few seconds and Tove needs to take advantage of it.

As its attention shifts upward, the scarred woman darts back in, leaping up at the open on its neck and ripping it open even more. The grizzly swipes at her but she is liquid, moving out and away from danger without a sound. Blood spills to the ground and, while the wound itself is not fatal, it will prove to be if Tove can attack the spot one more time.
