Found a bear. Kill a bear

Predators had been chased out of Valta territory but it didn’t mean they didn’t try to wander in at points.  The rapids had a great collection of fresh flowing water and a good supply of fish that was attractive for anyone daring enough to try and visit.  This tended to include small predators that thought they could quickly get in and out or larger ones that thought they could take on a wolf or two.  

Kotori imagined predators were a handy enough thing though.  Frequent patrols kept them in line and made sure the pack had plenty of live targets to practice their fighting skills on.  Today Kotori had gone on a patrol with Arc.  It was much for protecting the pack as trying to get to know his nephew better.

Kotori grinned when he spotted a bear that was indeed heading towards their home.  He wasn’t on their border yet and perhaps it would turn away when it caught the scent of the pack territory but then again maybe not.  Kotori didn’t bother with a warning growl or anything.  The wolf enjoyed a good fight.  He ran straight towards the bear, then swept wide about it, raking his horns into the bear's leg.  Kotori was about to bite it but the bear was turning to try and get revenge.  Kotori was willing to back off and let it look away from Arc.
