The battle raged on, the bear's strength waning under the relentless assault of fangs and claw. Sol and Khonsu, emboldened by Vanta's successful strike, emulated her bravery. They pressed their attack, aiming just as she was to end the confrontation swiftly, though unfortunately lacking in the skill and experience to bring the bear to it's death. What they lacked most, however, was the stamina to continue to promptly evade.

As they lunged forward, the bear, in its blind fury and pain, managed one powerful swipe. Its claws raked across Sol's flank, a hot streak of pain marking a deep, ragged wound through the skin. Khonsu, feeling Sol’s pain as his own, let out a pained growl of his own but did not falter. Forcing his brother to continue on, he twisted. Their body swung to the side, reducing the depth the claws could seek and making an opening for Khonsu to bite past Sol's head to grasp upon the offending limb.

The taste of blood was thick in his mouth as he bit down, and thankfully the bear's movements were beginning to grow as sluggish as theirs were. Despite the searing pain on Sol’s side, the twins fought on - their breaths heaving with effort in the cold northern air.
