My Head is an Animal

His massive frame had been doing nothing but drifting, checking out different places and not staying for more than a day or two. The restless paws he had grown used to for so long would not quit and he couldn't help but comply to their desires. If he didn't have them, how could he get around? There was no chance in hell the male was going to attempt scooting around Alacritis on his behind when there were so many places left to see. The desire for exploring was too great in him to ignore.
As he walked past the landmark noted as Mt Volkan (unknown to him), he sniffed a few unfamiliar scents and considered heading past it as soon as he could. There was no evidence of a pack living at the summit's base, but he didn't trust the number -- three -- against his mediocre one. He would have continued to venture to another part of Alacritis if it hadn't been for the roar. A loud roar broke the silence near the bottom of the volcano, past the trees whose branches stretched far above him. Regardless of how many different scents there were, nothing would hold the stranger back from seeing what was taking place.
Garthinaw broke through the trees and the sight struck him dumb. A bear had taken the chance to attack a white wolf who had been minding her own business. Blood struck the surrounding rocks and ground, silently oozing from the haunches of the bear's prey. Anger from seeing the helpless female boiled in his chest and his icy blue eyes flashed dangerously. Face scrunched up into a snarl, exposing ivory fangs meant for times like these. He didn't waste any time in racing towards them, making sure to avoid the lioness all together.
He began to pick up speed, claws digging into the dirt beneath him as he zigzagged towards the power duo. The bear's head was close to the she-wolf's neck, intending on biting down to end her life. As the lioness aimed her bite for the jugular, Garth decided to take it from another approach. He took an alternative route that faced him directly in front of the bear's current location. Since the lioness's attack would push the bear up and away from the female, Garth's attack would make them push back and impact further damage to the bear's face. He immediately pursued his plan, leaping through the nearby trees, over Song, and on top of the bear's head. His teeth bared, he aimed for the bear's eyes and ears, intending to help tear away the senses that gave him the ability to find prey at all. Hind legs dug into the ground as he clawed the bear's cranium with his wide front paws.
