Chimera Fields apollonius

Rather than strike him down for his refusal, she tells him to stay planted where he's dropped himself. Fine, he can do that. She looked healthier than him; months of proper care from the rest of Ursus had given her a lasting strength, one which he lacked despite all of his new bulk. He may have had the size but she had the energy. Even a month of living off the land had not tampered with her greatness. The boy was jealous, and watched as she departed.

He was on-edge as he observed her progress, and got to his feet as she dove in to the woods to chase after the deer's path. It would have worked better if he had not been so weak. If he could chase it too, they could both eat. But she had told him to stay and so he paced, watching the shadows, waiting for something to happen. The boy gathered himself and sank low upon the clay road, ready to spring in to action with all he had left.
