grizzly morning

Basilisk finally arrived, charging his massive frame across the terrain and towards his child. “Mine!” He bellowed in a deep, booming roar that would have done Sirius proud. The bear flinched in surprise, which allowed Bas to close the distance between himself and the pup before the bear could reach them. He snagged Spider by the back of their neck, pulling them off their paws and into the air with the momentum of his dash. His reindeer was behind him, hooves clattering on stones as they manoeuvred themselves for Bas to dump Spider across their back.

He turned back to the bear then. Standing in front of the reindeer and child, and facing off with the bear. He peeled his gums over his fangs as he snarled, his fur bristling as he paced a step forward. Hoping the bear would back down, but willing to fight for what was his if it didn’t.
