At the corner of the room you've sensed that something's watching you

Enki was back in the labyrinth of caves and tunnels, the joy of once again exploring pulling him deeper and deeper into the dark depths. A familiar scent finds his nose and a stupid grin pulls at his lips as thinks about sneaking on Tazzy and surprising him. However, the happiness dies as a roar sends icy spikes of dread ramming into his stomach. Legs are moving before his brain can register anything more that Tazzy and grizzly bear; his body propels him forward as anger and fear flood his body. He spies the bright form of his friend trying desperately to cram into a small space in an attempt to get away from the bear that is attacking him.

The scream that Tazzy releases has Enki’s world turning red and he plows into the grizzly’s side, knocking it away from the space where his friend is hidding. The beast roars its anger and the pale pink man snarls loudly, tail snapping up over his spine in a show of dominance to the predator. They clash, Enki’s teeth finding the side of the bear’s neck as its deadly claws raking his side. A grow rumbles from somewhere deep in his chest as he doesn’t let up, attacking with all the ferocity of someone who’s loved one is in danger. The coppery scent of blood fills the air as the battle rages on.
