Loose Change

Caedes had a moment to observe his little helped atop the bear’s back, his eyes flashing dangerously as he lunged forward again, the bear momentarily distracted by the girl’s antics. He shot forward powerfully, the bear whirling as it turned to face its pest. It gave Caedes the chance to change tactics and leap onto its back for himself. His massive frame unbalanced the bear as his jaws clamped down on its nape. He tore and he shook, the bear letting loose a horribly pained symphony of roars. He kept at it, exposing more and more of the beast’s flesh and tissue – its hide giving way in a mortal wound. But he would not stop there. He would not stop until the bear fell and it's breath ceased.
