the search for legends

Ellara's heart pounded as she regained her footing, her eyes darting to her brother as he bravely faced the bear. The sight of Adriel latching onto the bear's throat filled her with a mix of pride and fear. She watched, horrified, as the bear's claws raked across his shoulder, sending a spurt of blood into the air. The savage reality of the fight pressed down on her, but the sight of her brother’s determination gave her strength.

Ignoring the throbbing pain from where she had been kicked, Ellara moved swiftly, circling the bear once more. The grizzly, now rearing on its hind legs, towered above them, its roars echoing through the forest. She knew they had to act quickly to avoid further injury, and her brother's ferocity had bought them precious moments.

Ellara darted forward, her eyes locked on the bear's exposed side. With a burst of speed, she aimed for the bear's ribs, her teeth sinking into its thick fur and skin. The bear bellowed in pain and fury, thrashing wildly. The scent of blood mingled with the sharp aroma of cedar and evergreen, the air thick with the tension of their struggle. She released her grip and leapt back just in time to avoid another swipe of the bear's massive paw.

Her heart ached with worry for her brother, but she pushed the fear aside, focusing on the fight. They needed to push the bear further back, toward the falls where its footing would be less stable. With a determined growl, she lunged again, nipping at the bear's legs to keep it off balance. The bear's movements became more frantic, its roars louder as it struggled against their combined assault.

Ellara glanced at Adriel, her eyes meeting his with a mixture of concern and resolve. They were in this together, and she trusted him to hold his own. She prepared for another attack, her muscles coiled like springs, ready to strike. The falls roared behind them, a constant reminder of their goal. With a final glance at her brother, she readied herself, knowing the next few moments would be crucial in their fight for survival.
