Scare Valley

With the two youngsters attacking the beast, it became enraged- swiping wildly at them with massive paws, trying to deliver bone-crushing swats that would keep them at bay. But Mercy and Zagan were lost in the fray of their excitement, and were relentless in their onslaught. Unless the bear delivered a life-threatening injury, they would not stop until it was dead at their feet.

While the girl bit onto the bear’s neck, Zagan took bites out of its side and underbelly, weaving in and out of its legs to avoid being crushed. He wanted to bite deep enough to spill its guts onto the forest floor- and with his saber fangs, he was almost able to pierce deep enough. Just a few more bites.

The bear was starting to slow down, but it wasn’t enough. They needed more firepower. As if on cue, Zagan’s panther emerged from the treeline and pounced onto the bear’s back, forcing it to its knees. It went down with a roar, almost crushing Zagan in the process but he backpedaled just in time.
