All he could think of was her and helping her. He continued to do what he could; teasing the bear back and fourths, step by step getting the mother bear away from the red pelted girl. His heart was still racing, but he kept up the brave façade a few times he let it get too close, but still she didn’t manage to hit him. He growled and barked a few more times, dancing a bit further away and out of reach. She seemed to have forgotten about Semele, which was ultimately what she wanted. She had no idea why the girl was so frozen in fear, but he could keep this up for a bit longer before he would need to run too. Finally though the girl seemed to gain herself. He glanced at her to see her worry, but it was only a second’s eye contact before he was dancing further backwards.

It took time but she was moving now. Her courage seemed to be gained and for this he was happy. She let out a yip and in that moment the mother bear had been distracted. Turning Ame fled himself leaving the bear roaring in frustration but not following him. She got what she wanted, the wolves were gone and thus he figured she wouldn’t be chasing after them and starting anymore fights less she wanted to potentially lose her cubs another way. So once she was out of sight he was moving too. He sprinted on his brown and grey paws away from her, pushing through the brush and out of her line of sight as fast as he could. Ame didn’t stop there, he peeled off towards the direction he thought he saw Semele run. His heart was still racing slightly, though he was slowly coming back down from the high that he was on. He felt tired though he hadn’t physically done a lot all of this had been so trying for the young wolf to do.

He started panting and as his body relaxed from being so on edge he felt his spine tingle and ache, though he knew he was fine. He had been, luckily untouched, having kept a very careful distance away. Ame looked around anxiously for her, ears up and alert. He wondered if she had taken the time to run far away, all the way back home maybe. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to follow her all the way back to Spirane, she was okay he was sure of it, but as soon as the thought occurred to him he heard her call to him. Instantly he was on the move to her rather mournful call, running again though his limbs felt a bit tired and heavy. His foot steps weren’t as sure now, but he felt so drained after all that excitement, something he was sure she felt too.

He came almost stumbling into the clearing, panting heavily and catching his breath for a moment before looking up at her and giving her a tired though rather pleased grin. ”This one… showed her… She is…. happy now. Are you… okay?” He asked through his pants his tail giving a few waves. He gave a shake of his head and a snort trying to get the malodorous scent of the bear from his nose, before he continued. ”This one, remembers you from Spriane. You are called Semele?” He asked wanting to be certain. He knew she was one of the few that had greeted him. He had been in a blushing furry after she had after all, but right now he didn’t feel shy, or awkward in fact he didn’t really feel very ‘him’ at all. Though none of that mattered not now, and it wouldn’t ever again.
