The bear had finally flung him away and Caedwyn went flying backward, sliding across the ground though he managed to keep his footing under him. He quickly started to charge forward again, preparing to bite at the bear again; but this time the bear didn't swipe and attack him again. Instead it turned and scampered back up the tree! Caedwyn jumped after it biting at the air just behind it but didn't manage to catch it. He stood at the base of the tree looking up. "Quick, we've got it on the run now," he shouted excitedly to Enya. The thick windy jungle trees were one thing, but this tree was damn near straight up and down. He definitely wasn't able to climb up after the bear. But perhaps Enya could? She had taken on a bear-form and presumably had the same abilities as the bear itself. But before Caedwyn could suggest going after it, a large CRACK sound shattered the air. Branches and needles began raining down on him and Caedwyn jumped back once more, unsure of what was happening. He watched as the top of the tree broke off and the bear tumbled over the hillside. Caedwyn ran to the edge, his claws digging into the soil to prevent any accidental slipping, and peered downward. Below him lay the broken and injured monstrosity of a bear. He waited a moment, cautiously preparing should the bear scramble back up the hill and attack them again. The moment turned into two and then another, until a soft whimpering sound met his ears, and soon it was clear the bear was not getting up. It wasn't the triumphant victory he'd imagined, but this was still winning, right? He almost felt bad for the poor thing. It was just trying to get away and had caused it's own downfall. And yet, the small amount of pity Caedwyn felt for the beast was quickly pushed away. Caedwyn had been raised on Tsillah's mercy. Tsillah took those who were too weak to continue being alive. The death she brought was mercy, in it's own way. Caedwyn let out a huff of relief that their fight hadn't gone sideways and his eyes glanced back at Enya. "Shall I finish it off or would you like the kill?" he asked. "We should end it quickly before its suffering attracts more predators." --- Speech. |
