[QUOTE="Rune, post: 5667383, member: 67"] [b]When Little Black Bear found his Courage[/b] [I]part one[/I] Come, gather round and hear the tale of how Little Black Bear found the courage to stand up for himself and for his friends. It happened in the Early Summer, when Boy had been sent on a journey to a mysterious place, called “Camp.” The nights were getting shorter, but were deep and dark. Sparks of starlight broke the blackness, and all would have been serene, but the normal sounds of Summer night life had, for some time, now, been disturbed by the periodic call of Wolves across the night. Haunting as the nights could be, the days were pleasant and peaceful. Dog and Turtle had taken to walking out into the Wilderness by day--or, rather, Dog would walk and Turtle would ride upon his back. On one such day, they came upon a peculiar thing. A low and long rumble came to them from along a stream. [I]RAAAWWWWWWAAAAARRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHH[/I] What could it be? Dog‘s sharp ears could tell that it was some beast, but the breeze conspired to keep its scent away and Dog could only wonder what it was. “Let‘s check it out!” he urged and trotted forward eagerly. Turtle was not so eager as Dog, but, as she was currently riding on his back, had little choice but to go with him. The closer they got, the louder the roar became, until it filled the air around them with its might. [I]RRRRAAAAARRRRAAAAWWWW[SIZE=3] AAAAARRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAARRRRRRAAAAAWWWWAAAAAAA[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]RRRRRAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHH[/SIZE] [SIZE=5]AAAAAARRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHH![/SIZE][/I] Undaunted, Dog advanced, until, at last, they came upon the beast. There, by the stream, Little Black Bear stood, rubbing his back contentedly against a tree. “Little Black Bear!” Turtle exclaimed. “We can hear you throughout all the Wilderness!” Little Black Bear looked at her guiltily. “You don’t suppose [I]They[/I] heard me, do you? I didn’t mean for Them to hear!” “Who’s Them?” Dog’s excitement could scarcely be contained. A mystery! But his cheerful barking gave way to an angry growl when he heard Little Black Bear’s answer. “The Brothers Wolf have been harassing me. Running around, taunting...and always out of reach.” Now, when Dog was but a little pup, he had first met the Brothers Wolf. They had come down out of the Wilderness to steel away the Sheep. Puppy Dog was a tiny thing and there was little he could do, but he had never forgiven himself for his failure to save Sheep’s Daughter from the Brothers Wolf. He had never forgotten, and neither had they. Dog saw the opportunity for some small measure of atonement and told Little Black Bear that he would help him out. The first thing to do, Dog deemed, would be to mark a defensive perimeter. The three traveled up stream a while until the came upon one of Little Black Bear’s favorite spots for relaxation. Since the day was pleasant and the stream was cool, Little Black Bear decided to try to catch a fish, but after an initial failure, gave up and curled into a nap, instead. But Little Black bear had barely settled down before Dog caught the scent of the Brothers Wolf, just before the attack. [/QUOTE]
