Polar Bear Pelt

Andromeda watches silently as the earthen-hued wolf places himself on the polar bear’s back and being so high up on the mountain, the girl considers what a risky move that is. She dances backward as the stranger opens a wound on the back of the bear’s neck and, in the process, further opens the wounds she has made. The dying creature unseats its rider and she looks to the older wolf, blinking in surprise as he tells her to kill it.

Lips set in a firm line, the pup nods her agreement and looks to the sluggish creature. It lurches to the side and Andy’s purple form darts in, expertly launching up to grab hold of the open wound. Teeth sink deep into the bear’s neck and, with a snarl, she severs every important thing that rest there. The pup scrambles backwards, away from the creature that gurgles and chokes on its blood while looking forward with glassy eyes.

It doesn’t take long for the beast to slump to the ground and, with a sigh, die. Looking to the stranger, she offers him a firm nod before swiftly turning around and making a beeline back down the mountain and toward the Armada lands. Stranger danger and all that.
