Hideaway Strath There Are Monsters

Another bear blindsided him.
He fell away from the female, his attempts of distraction unnoticed. Then Whrist started bellowing herself.
Heavy steps sounded to his side, followed by the Grandmasters orders, Derg looked in enough time to see that paw swiping for his body.

Derg was batted away, thrown into the deep snow like nothing more than a leaf.
Four long, agonising wounds ran from his crown to his shoulder, breaking in places the claws didn't quite connect.
The frozen water bit and soothed his pain, but didn't stop his bleeding. Thankfully, his neck was spared from being ripped open.

Derg staggered up, adrenaline fueling him now as he escaped his frozen grave and started towards the bear.
His eye wasn't damaged further, but the marring made his right side look even more gruesome. Especially in the fresh, bloody daylight.
He launched up, Kynareth at the back, Derg at the front. What were a few more broken bones anyway?
His teeth swept through the air, hoping to embed themselves in it's shoulder.
