Horizon Ridge the top of the world

Charon expectantly looked at Barf face to see if she would confirm his conclusions, and his tail wagged a few held back beats when she did. She went on to say that it was a good thing, so that it could not eat them, and Charon grinned wickedly and said, "Pff, we're awesome bearfighters, we wouldn't let a stupid bear eat us!" Having never actually encountered a bear or gotten into real trouble wrestling one, Charon had no idea what bears were actually like.

Barf face asked if Charon was ready, and he nodded. "Yeah, okay..." His ears twitched and he heard the snoring sound. When he looked through the crack, he saw the bear laying there; it was giant! He wasn't sure how in the world they were going to defeat it. The fact he might end up like his late mother did not even occur to Charon, however, deeming himself and Barf face rather the heroes. He had bravery and she had the experience... what could possibly go wrong?

Charon stared at the giant bear with widened eyes. He wasn't afraid, having a stupid childish belief in their abilities, although one might be able to misinterpret his amazement as fear.
