The thunder rolls

The mud was assuredly slick under the wolf's feet, and it was even more treacherous for the mighty weight of a bear with injured legs throwing it off balance.   The bear was attempting to pivot again, to make yet another attempt to attack Kotori’s ally in this fight.  However, his back paw slid, leaving a streak of mud and sending the bear swaying as it tried to find purchase.  

The bear’s body stretched, muscles stiffening as it attempted to regain balance and Kotori saw a great chance.  The wolf lunged in, crunching his shoulders and head down low.  His head jerks up, slamming his horns into the underside of the bear’s jaws, damaging the tender jawbone.  The bear yowled, shaking its head causing itself to stumble more, its rear end failing, sloping down to the ground in a way that made it seem the bear just had decided to sit for a while.

The lightning danced across the sky and the blood on the bear made it obvious he was not simply resting.  It was losing a deadly battle.
