Excitement pulsated through his veins as he felt his teeth gain purchase of the bear's ear. A tiny wound, perhaps barely even noticeable to the massive creature, but she reacted anyway. While Atreyu was glad he had managed to distract it away from the young it sought, he quickly realised he now had his own problem to deal with. Claws scraped down his side and he yelped loudly in pain as the flesh there tore. Not fatal wounds, none that would even scar, though they were forceful enough for the Gamma to release his hold on the bear's ear and leap backwards, blood-stained teeth pulling back into a snarl.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Charon burst into the fray, snatching Floki into his jaws and pulling him along, retreating into the forest. Good, at least they wouldn't lose one more member today. Atreyu would join them, hopefully escaping the beast and losing her in the forest. His eyes flicked back to the bear, ready to stall her should she make for the younger wolves. She had taken advantage of his momentary distraction, though, and the boy released another yelp as he stared down the throat of a now enraged monster.

It collided with him, a massive, overpowering force slamming into him like wave. He stumbled, falling onto his side and feebly snapping at the air as he tried to grab at the creature. Instead, she closed her own jaws around a flailing foreleg, snapping it like a twig. Howling in pain, Atreyu jerked away, snarling though panic was reflected in his eyes as he watched the bear shake and tear. With a sickening rip, half of his left foreleg was torn clean, the bear then lumbering away with her prize. Pain seared through the open wound, though when the boy looked down, he felt surprisingly calm. An instinctual urge to run overcame him and, without even checking if Charon and his brother were safe from the bear, he ran. Out and away from the Bay, leaving a trail of blood behind him.
