Firestone Hot Springs tell me how anyone thinks under this condition

He has been on high alert ever since two attacks happened just out of Kaistleoki's reach. It leaves the bear on edge, for he had left Rising Sun Valley, thinking it too dangerous with the amount of conflicts... and yet, they have followed him here. He paces, unable to shake the restless urge to keep his feet moving. It is odd how in moments like this he feels so incredibly small and alone in this vast world.

The sound of a fight leaves the bear charging from the riverlands. The scent and mist of the springs stings his eyes. Never before had he ventured this way, but Evergreen refuses to stand idle when he hears such commotion. It is when he nears that his fur begins to stand on end. His heart racing, lips curving to display a fangs and the massive wolf has no mercy. River is sprawled on the ground, bleeding from the neck. Once again, someone he cares for is bleeding out, clinging to life. He wants to sob, to beg that the world stop hurting and taking from him.

But instead, he rages like a bull caught in a small pin. His bulk flies past the silver male and towards the black figure standing over him. He attempts to slam into her, attempts to grab her clear by the scruff and pin her to the ground. Merciless, powerful. He refuses to allow another go through this again.
