Edward Savage

Behind the forest trees she holds still with her knife made of bone. She squats and

continues to sharpen it on the stone in front of her. Her eyes narrow and she pursues a

violent maternal instinct. She spies her family trotting around. Her brother goes on at a

canter with an ivory dove in his sharp fangs. Brother Wolf looks noble and firm as he

carries the meal for everyone to share.

Behind him, a beast lunges up on him. The breath of decay forms out from the enormous monster. Its eyes are darker than its sandy brown hair. The wild and enormous monster stands on its hind legs and swats a massive blow with the enormous left claw.

Savage lunges up on top of the bear. She climbed up on the tree when the beast was not looking. Before knowing it Savage had lunged in two to three piercing blows into the creature. The grizzly struck up at its paws on top of itself and barely flung savage off before she flung herself off of its back like a dancer and landed on her right foot- spraining her ankle before a charge.

She gestures "LEAVE!" with her stone-cold killer eyes to Brother Wolf. The overzealous protection is read when Brother Wolf saunters off.

The grizzly roars so loudly that it feels like a hurricane is hitting Savage's face. She lunges up from her good ankle and holds the knife out in front- so that her body is floating at almost a perfectly flat horizontal angle. As the intruder roars- SPLAT!- Savage's knife goes between its eyes and into its brain. The grizzly bear sounds down to a hum and collapses- like a hard-drive in a 21^st century golem (made of cybernetics rather than clay) powering down.

The predator is slaughtered, the family ready to sup upon the meaty bones of the guilty. In

honor to each-other they eat around the fire-pit. The normal nightly cycle happened again... The food chain is safe...
