Redhawk Caldera A new world for you, my friend

Lokie waited for the blow that would end it all. Instead, the bear spoke, informing him it would not come. He looked up into the bear's face, searching for truth. And he found it. Thank you, he said softly. The mercy shown here today by this bear would not be forgotten. 

He remembered then, the wolf that attacked him. His eyes searched for them, but it seemed they were long gone. The bear had saved him in more than one way today, Lokie was sure. Gingerly, he stood to make his leave, as slow as it would be. I hope we meet again. I'd like to repay you, he said earnestly.
