The king called for his fighters and his son to join him as he tracked the bear to the crypt just north of their territory. For a bear to be active so late in the autumn was worrisome but what was important now was getting rid of the pest before it decided it would permanently make its home beyond their borders.
He had gone in ahead of the others to flush the bear from hiding and draw it into the open where they could all attack simultaneously. He had grown bolder since raising his pack and was quickly on his way to becoming fearsome in his own right. This bear in fact would be the second he fought off in his short lifetime, while most could only claim chance encounters with one where they barely survived.
He found the bear, a great beast larger than his first in size but with a yellow coat that stank of bear piss. Its eyes were gummy with mucus and as it lifted its head to regard him it was only able to utter an apprehensive groan that was thick and wet sounding. This would be easy and over with quickly.
With a snarl Tyranis surged forward seizing the bear’s great black nose in his jaws and pulling it back with the might of every muscle in his body. The bear roared in fury and agony, while Tyranis released his grip and danced back from the bear’s swiping paws. The bear lumbered to its feet and roared again this time bracing its muscles to prepare to charge for him. With a grin Tyranis bolted toward the mouth of the cave, his ears swivled back to hear the throaty grunts of the yellow beast as it charged behind him, quickly closing the gap between them.“Get ready!”He called to his fighters as he cleared the cave’s entrance.

His companion called out to him, urging him to hurry. Despite his unhealed injuries, Cloud quickened his pace until he was racing through the lands. He spotted Ty and one of the largest beasts he'd ever seen. Bi-colored gaze watched for a moment as Ty went right in for an attack before backing off and running towards the entrance of the nearby cave, seemingly trying to draw the bear out. Without hesitation, Cloud raced after the pair with the intention of stopping the bear from catching up with his brother too much. Ty's words had not gone unheard, and he assumed he meant that now was the chance to get up close and personal with the beast. With a screech, his companion swooped down and began to rake at the eyes of the beast before hightailing it back into the sky to prepare for another round.
Meanwhile, Cloud rushed in towards the bear's hind legs, jaws open and ready to clamp down on his target. Although he was going as fast as he could, his ordeal in the ravine had left him with a limp in his hind leg that had not yet recovered. Still, he pressed on until he was within range of the bears left hind leg. He seized his opportunity as soon as he got close, diving in and closing his jaws around the bear's ankle. Cloud kept his grip as tight as he could while simultaneously putting on the brakes in an effort to stop the bear from going any further, though it seemed the bear's larger size and strength still managed to practically drag Cloud's resisting body weight along regardless.
His ears pinned tightly against the angered creature, and he hoped they could bring him down as quickly as possible before anyone got injured...or worse. His hoped waned, however, when the bear suddenly turned to around. Cloud barely saw the huge paw heading his way, and he was unable to react fast enough. He felt a heavy blow against his head which sent him rolling across the ground several feet away and knocking the wind out of him. Dazed and confused, he struggled to right himself as the bear lumbered towards him. His vision was blurred and there was a loud ringing in his ears. Luckily for him, his companion swooped down again to distract the bear by diving around its head. Giving him a bit of time to try and recover...
The phantom silently followed Cloudburst several tail lengths away as the putrid scent of a mighty predator flew through his nostrils. Hannibal's eyes were narrowed and his bodice was lowered into a defensive stance as he slithered through the thicket. Knees bent, ears lowered, lips raised and wrinkled, tail aligned with spine, and head lowered to protect his throat. Who knew what they were truly getting into but what was life without a bit of risk? His steps were sturdy, hitting the earth with ease but silence all the same for her and this other alabaster Wolf would be the element of surprise as Tyranis had its undivided attention. The ravenous sounds of rippling growls from both Wolf and Bear slid into Hannibal's ears as they grew closer. The phantom now moved much faster, giving up on his prowl and now darting for the scene of action. It was all about the timing for if they did not arrive in time their new Alpha would get cornered in a dark and damp cave by a huge Bear. Hannibal was having none of that. As he and his pack mate were in sight of the chase the male locked onto his target. Quickly Hannibal darted for the beasts right side as Cloudburst got the rear. With great bounds the large Wolf managed to close the distance and at the last second leapt up with his hind legs in order to snap his vicious jaws at the back right side of this Bear's neck. Due to the sheer size of the Bear his paws left the earth but he managed to grip onto the neck fat and tear a good chunk out in the meantime. Blood now soaked his divine ivory fur and horrid growls escaped his throat. As Hannibal attempted to maintain his grip the Bear began to shake him off, whipping his head and body while turning around towards Cloudburst. It did not take much and the much smaller Hannibal was flung to the side with a mouth full of white Bear fur. He shared a glance towards Cloudburst who was seemingly out of it by a blow in which Hannibal did not see but thankfully his companion was giving them both time to recover. His breathing was heavy and his jaws were in hefty pain due to the death grip he had on the Bears hackles. Hopefully Tyranis was healthy enough to take back the attention so Hannibal could continue his assault. speech action |
