Two Rivers Isle One's loss, another's gain

@Burke @Malice

The usually large bear was only a fraction of the weight he should have been at this time of year. For months, he had been trying to stock up on his reserves, but the famine had made that impossible. He had a few lucky moments here and there, but it was nothing compared to what he really needed to prepare his body for hibernation. 

The foliage had returned, and it with the meat and fruits he usually fattened up on. However, when he tried to eat, his stomach readily rejected it. Even with all this food around, his body was too far gone to accept it. He plopped down on the lush green grass a few feet from the river. He had walked around this area enough to know he was in the middle of land that the river circled. He also knew he would not leave this place again.
