Mama bears rage

Kotori roamed along the volcano, wondering why someone would claim the land for their pack territory.  What if the volcano came to life?  Sure, it could affect Valta to but at least they would have time to react if needed.  What about wolves on the volcano?  Would they have time to flee?  How much of a warning did volcanoes give?  It also seemed rather barren for Kotori’s personal preference.

He was here more out of curiosity than looking for food or hoping to find something to kill but sometimes the bears just come to you. Mama bear had two cubs farther behind her.  She wasn’t giving Kotori time to decide what he wanted to do, it was a hard and fast charge.  If there was anything truly dangerous in the lands it was a mother protecting its kids.  She was a massive grizzly and filled with rage.

Kotori gave her ground, backing up as she ran forward.  He attempted to circle around but mom moved fast, making sure he couldn’t get past her in the direction of her children.  Kotori pivoted back away from the kids and mom moved less swiftly to follow, hesitating her barrier to the children.  That gave Kotori the opening he needed for a fast bite to her shoulder.  He only got a moment though before the raging bear raised up her bulk partway and attempted to crush him a second later.
