Ballad of the Bear vol1

by Dolph

Ballad of the Bear volume 1.
 
Throughout the valley plants were beginning to flower as we transition out of the winter months to spring. All of the tribes prepare for spring fertility ceremonies and I had my own part to play.
 
I found myself in the middle of reptilian dance ceremony looking to trade weapons to the merchant Bjork in return for the intoxicants required for our own spring festival.
 
As we reach the crescendo of the ceremony and I am moments away from being crowned party King [this is a lie, the bear is lying to brag] we were suddenly interrupted by flying watchers kidnapping a cold blooded hard shell. Tapping in to my instinctual strength I gave in to the beast within, I don’t fully remember the battle apart from flashes of pulling one of the metallic monsters from the sky and Bjork flying through the air plunging a knife through its glass eye.
 
Coming down from the rage I noticed the gloomy pup Leonov – I like him he fed me- negotiating with a local spy [named???] who invited us to a secret meeting in the forest. I don’t trust the chromatic cold blood, better tag along to make sure Leonov doesn’t get ambushed.
 
Apparently the hardshell was a leader in the resistance maybe I might find some other allies here in the swamp to take revenge on the Yellow Watcher.
 
Note to self: who is Largo and can I defeat them in physical combat?
