His yellow eyes gleamed in pale, blank venom. What maddness was this? That was without doubt the call of a bear - a grizzly if he had to wager a guess - and yet it's tone... it was almost that of a wolf's call for attention. Surely he must be mistaken. It must be some mother calling for her cubs or male seeking a mate late in the season. Regardless of the why, it was here. And that was reason enough to shoo it off. Gargoyle was perfectly aware that Glaciem was an oasis there in the Artic regions, but that didn't mean it was open for all predators. Usually the wolves could get along with the occasional migratory bear, and there would always be the snow leopards up in the mountains, but late autumn meant den searching and the last thing he wanted was some she-bear making herself a home in his territory. The kill that he waited so long to make was forsaken. Gargoyle launched himself into a run, plowing through the snow like a black whirlwind. The recent threats lent energy and sharpness to his movements. Among them was Midnight's recent attack by a bear just south of his borders, for all he knew this could be the same one. If he saw that this one had a blind eye - it probably was. But the creature that greeted his yellow laconic eyes, was not a dark furred, scarred monster, but a honey and brown hued creature. Gargoyle, with his portions to rival the legendary Dire wolves of old, was himself taller than the average black bear, and had no qualms about walking, stiff legged, hackles raised, past the mark of ten yards between them. - What in hellfire..? - The bear was... just standing there. Waiting by the border like a wolf. He could've attacked right then - or at least howled and brought a patrol's worth of keen fanged wolves down to his side. But he just stood and waited. Gargoyle knew well all the stories of wolves vs bears that had been a part of his family's history, but he also knew the value of not rushing too quickly to action in such situations. So the Alpha stood and waiting - a picture of dangerous, lupine dominance - wanting to see what this creature would do next. |
