grin and bear it

The Destruction woman wasn’t near in time to save the boy from some pain. The bear had already struck, though Pyr couldn’t tell how bad it might be as she focused on herself and the task at hand. This predator was dangerous, and didn’t realize how dangerous it was for him to make his appearance within the Armada’s lands. The two wolves that appeared before him were tenacious and willing to give their all to drive him back, and willing to take its life. However with only two of them Pyrite doubted the latter of those conclusions.

Just as she had planned with her attack, her teeth sinking into thick bear hide before she released, knowing retaliation was coming even before it moved. Pyr wanted to give the boy enough time to recover, and as the bear rounded she knew that she did when the bear hollered in pain. Pyr’s fox-like size helped her to avoid the raging creature with deft paws.

The two wolves working together was enough to divert the animal’s attention, and it was unable to keep up with the both of them. If you chased two rabbits, you would catch none, so long as they divided and conquered they would be fine. Again as Dread went for its neck the retaliation was predictable, and again Pyrite took her chance to bite. This time going for its huge hulking shoulder.
