Teza clung to the bear’s ankle for dear life. He heard and felt the roar of rage as the pain shot up his leg. He couldn’t tell if the black, white and golden girl had gotten away just yet, so he clung on even as she said she would go get help. He yanked on the flesh she had a hold of feeling blood come into his maw as he tugged and yanked about slightly trying to do as much damage and irritate the beast as much as possible keeping it from going after her. His heart was shockingly clam despite the situation, he wondered if this was how his father and grandfather felt when they went into battle. It wasn’t like he wasn’t scared, he was, but it was more like he knew it wasn’t going to help him or anyone else, like time was slowing in his mind as he processed what was going on and what he needed to do.

He felt the large creature move and out of the corner of his right eye he spotted a large paw moving towards him. He barely had a chance to brace himself and he cursed himself for letting go of the bears ankle just as the paw made contact, raking up Teza’s chest and shoulder and sending him sprawling into the leaves and dirt on the ground with a yelp. He felt his body shake without him wanting it too. His whole chest and leg burned but it was worse around the four long ragged gashes up his legs. He pushed himself away trying to get back onto his feet but the shock of being basically tossed and the pain of the wounds made it very hard for him to recover. It was then that he saw the silver male, heard his voice, before placing himself between Teza and the golden beast.

”Don’t… don’t get hurt okay!” He says, knowing that he had to get away, the other male was older, more experienced hopefully once Teza was out of harm’s way he would quickly follow. The scent of Taviora was all over him, was he the help the girl got? He would think about it later, he tried to quickly limp away from the scene looking back and hoping Tithe wouldn’t be far behind, even with both of them they couldn’t take that beast… He needed to keep going now though needed to get home.
