Falling With Style

The bear's roar shook the cliffside as Kolt scrambled down the rocks, heart pounding in his ears. He could hear the creature's heavy breathing and the scrape of its claws against stone as it pursued him. Kolt's mind raced, searching for a way out of this predicament. The fjord's dark waters churned below, offering a risky escape if he could just reach them.
Suddenly, a flash of movement caught Kolt's eye. To his shock, he saw his brother Ballad hurtling down the cliff face, eyes fixed on the bear with reckless determination. Before Kolt could shout a warning, Ballad launched himself at the massive predator, sinking his teeth into its flank. The bear bellowed in pain and fury, momentarily distracted from its pursuit of Kolt. In that split second, Kolt's training kicked in. He knew he couldn't leave his brother to face this beast alone. With a surge of protective instinct, Kolt whirled around and charged back up the slope.
"Hey!" he barked fiercely, trying to draw the bear's attention. "Over here!"
The bear swung its massive head toward Kolt, eyes blazing with rage. It swatted at Ballad with a powerful paw- from his point of view, he couldn’t tell if it had made contact. Regardless, Kolt used the distraction to his advantage, darting in to snap at the bear's hind leg, hoping to hamstring the beast. His teeth found purchase in the thick fur and flesh, eliciting another roar of pain from the bear.
