It was Nishu's shout that Floki heard, and although the former knight's words clearly told him that he should head in the opposite direction, he couldn't help but draw nearer to investigate. He was able to follow the curve of a river towards his packmate, and soon enough he found the reason for Nishu's concern. Beyond him stood Charon, Wildfire, and Amekaze, all facing off against a bear.
The ursine was standing on its hind legs, a fish clasped firmly in its jaws. Floki's stomach dropped clear to his paws; he was fairly certain that his heart had stopped beating. The boy was frozen with fear, flashbacks playing in his mind -- the bear on the beach, Jorunn's shouts, the sound of Atreyu's leg being ripped from his body. He would be next to helpless in this situation, but rather than approach to form a united front with his packmates or retreat like a coward, he remained rooted to the spot, his ears ringing and saliva pooling fearfully in his mouth as he trembled.
He was no bear fighter, and he hadn't realized until that very moment that he was deathly afraid of the beasts.
