The Tangle Hungur

The world eater gave chase.

The whelp had a nimble figure that allowed it to hurry out of reach. Where the bear plodded on giant paws with a great weight behind them, the wolf was swift and spry.

The only thing that urged the monster forward was the scent of fear and flesh. The bear lifted its head to gaze into the distance. It could see the trees, where chase would be slowed. If the bear could reach the wolf before it found the woods, perhaps that hunger would be sated.
