Moonspear Wake the giant

The call's haunting urgency matched the weather, but despite the chill of the icy rain Charon came into motion when it sounded. As he wasn't very nearby, it took him some time to get there. From below he watched some of it as it happened and while he tried to find a pathway towards his pack mates so that he could help them. It was frustrating to find that the first path he tried didn't lead the right way, and he had to double back and take a different route. His heart soared with relief when he came around the corner and saw Dhole there, along with Flóki, who appeared to be scratching at the loose rocks.

From below, Charon hadn't seen the monstrous appearance of the bear. As he slid towards the commotion and hear Nishu's voice call out to his pack mates to knock the bear on his back, his heart rate doubled and with fear in his heart, the young Alpha moved forward, feeling numb all over, and not just because of the icy rain. As they came into view the bear had just fallen to its back, and while Charon would've preferred it on its stomach — those claws and teeth of death out of reach — there was little that could be done about it now but react.

And so he leaped in, teeth bared and ready to attack. While Charon had gotten some experience fighting other wolves in his life, he had no experience fighting bears. He would've preferred going for a better plan than, well... this, but he had little time to think about how his pack mates had gotten themselves in this position.

Charon attacked the other side than the one Nishu was on, figuring that bear'd be distracted by the mortal grip on its throat, but just as he leaped Nishu's grip was slipping. And so just as Charon sprang forward and sank his teeth into the bear's soft stomach, he was swatted away by a giant bear paw. The taste of blood was in his mouth, but as he dizzily got back on his feet, Charon knew he — or someone else — would need to dig their teeth a whole lot deeper to make a difference. He could only hope that his attack might've been useful as a distraction for someone else's attack so that they could get a better grip.
