His snarling and barking had been enough to rip the beast’s attention away from Aresenn, just long enough for the pirate boy to initiate an attack. The bear released an ear-piercing roar, which caused Sephiran to clench his teeth and shake his head, trying to rid himself of the ringing in his ears. Whether the roar was meant to scare them off or was just a battle cry, it didn’t matter. Because it would meet its fate soon enough. It had made an enemy out of the wrong pair of wolves, and it would pay with its life.
When Aresenn secured a hold and shook his head, the bear whipped around again to try and fend him off. Sephiran used that moment to launch himself off his back legs, using the momentum to close the space between himself and the bear. His final strides were just short of a sprint, head lowering and his shoulders rolling forward as he braced for impact. Throwing his weight forward, he slammed into the bear's side, causing it to stumble just a few steps given that Aresenn was shaking one of its legs. It was now trying to balance using its front paws, which helped the boys stay out of reach. Just a few more yards and they would be at the ledge.
