*Rumble*
A dark and quite cliff side was disturbed by a fierce shake. A natrual scene of forest contrasted against a steep mountain range.
*Rumble**Rumble*
A large boulder jiggled in the scene, immense in size, it looked to be placed there by some careless god in a dark unforeseen age.
*RUMBLE**RRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM**Boom*
Almost inconceivably the boulder rolled back and figure walked out the cave concealed behind.
-----------------------------
"FINALLY" I yell against the woods.
First its the damn maze, then its the damn cow (he was delicious BTW), and then the damn boulder, life couldn't get worse.
I crack my neck and walked out in to the light. "WAAAAAAAAAA"I yawned, tired from my work.
I took a deep breath and took in my surroundings. Hmmmm, Canada, maybe?
I took in my surrounding through the scents and sounds. A slight southeastern wind was going through, though this was a rare thing as the wind brush up a mountain that was relatively unweathered on this side. There was deer 2 and a bit miles to the north. A river to the east, plains far to the east. However with all this information one bit to the west troubled me to the west there was a sick dragon, a large pigeon, a bunny and several other VEA's (very edible allies) and... oh, shoot...
Getting down on my paws I rushed to the scene with my massive bulk plowing through the trees.
I covered the distance in no time to spare and jumped over screaming people and a now almost incoherent dragon and landed on a hidden grey wolf. The pack scattered on sight.
After some rustle and tumbling I popped out of the bushes dragging nearly unconscious wolf in one hand.
"Io, buddy", the poor girl looked up. "You look like crap."
I picked up the wolf in both hands and threw it out of the clearing and heard in scamper off. I pulled off my ever present backpack and started shifting around. Blankets, lantern, sleeping sheep halfer, a small amount of money, canteen, ahhh, that's what we need. I pulled out a large bottle of ibuprofen, checked the contents (dragon's are notoriously picky), and then shoved two down Io's throat.
I sat down in front of a tree and rested my back. Everyone was looking at me. Everyone was looking as worn as I was. Some were about my age most a little to a lot younger. All looked hungry.
Figures, I was the only one who had found someonething to eat. Io was probably the only one who remembered me from that whole resort fiasco.
I sighed, knowing my work wasn't done.
"I'm Zar, Brown bear, and while many of you might be very tasty, I'm going to help you."
I pulled out a book of matches and the blanket. Throwing one over the dragon, I called out, "Anyone want a fire?"
