Dragoncrest Cliffs Deep End

Do you mind if this is my last post? :)

“A pack cannae fell a bear without great sacrifice,” he told his son. The last time Njord had fought one… he had done so without abandon. Fang, tooth, claw! The seafarer bled the monster and received its blows until his’s pelt was red as his tail. But… back then he had no children. No wife. Only Sapphique to protect. If the bear came again, would he fight? Would Meerkat be widowed? Would their children be without a father once again?

Njord’s ears turned in thought and uncertainty, but he could see the trouble in Swordfish’s face. Though he did not wish to worry his son, there was a real possibility the bear would follow their bloodtrail… and hadn’t Njord already failed to prepare Swordfish once already?

“I dinnae ken, lad,” he admitted truthfully. “But ye were far away upon Nova’s peak… tis unlikely that the creature would roam this far.” He tried to balance caution with reality. “The rest of us are on tha lookout fer bearsign, so dinnae fash. Do yer best tae rest an’ recover, hmm?” Njord gave his son a small nudge of his maw for encouragement.
