Why couldn’t she get her legs to work? MOVE! A voice screamed in the back of her mind, but it didn’t sound like her own. Talyssa stood blinking in place, watching the massive predator crossing the inlet with a surprising amount of agility. Her paws were slow moving- stuck in place as if trapped in mud- the anxiety of an impending struggle causing her to blank. What to do? She needed to move. Why couldn’t she move? When the grizzly finally pulled itself out of the water, she had managed to stagger back a few steps- but it simply wasn’t enough.
What she hadn’t been expecting was the sudden presence of another. A large sterling brute plotted his way into her line of sight. Almost casually- as he moved to intercept the bear. He was a good bit larger than her, a bit older- and appeared even more so as he bristled in defense. It was a display that had definitely caught the bear’s attention just in time for it to make land fall. It took a swipe at man- she cringed as she anticipated the impact of it’s massive paw. Though the man was ready, and quickly dodged out of the way with ease. But with the same push of momentum, he landed a blow of his own. One that clearly angered the beast further.
During the entire first round of exchanges, Talyssa stood awestruck. Not really believing what her eyes were seeing. Frozen in place as she fought to process what was happening. The draw to help was certainly there, but part of her was afraid of making things worse. But in the ended, she decided it was the least that she could do. If a distraction was all she could be, then maybe that would be enough. On shaky limbs, Talyssa bounded forward at an angle. Moving towards the bear’s hind quarters- snapping at the fleshy part of it’s back leg just above the hock.
