chapter 4: Ring Around The Berry bush

The beast before him, a large boar that towers over ren small form. Covered in coarse brown fur with one tusk black as pitch. He posses a black strip down the side. The beast returns to face him with aggression clear on his face.

The bear ground beneath him is caved by those hooves as he makes a threatening posture. The beast charges. Closing the gap between them.

“Shit!”

Ren rushes to the side. He crashed into the bushes avoiding the charge. grunting in frustration the bore untangles its self from the berry bush.

“Ha, that is what you get for sneaking up on me.” The beast turns to free itself. Terrifying ren as he moves for another charge. “This thing must be in charge of this Territory.” That thing must be four times my size. I stand no chance of beating his head-on.”

Ren sidesteps trying to look passive in order to seem like less of a threat, but it is useless. As the bore is determined to get ren to kill ren and remove him from his territory.

Following him in a circle around the clearing. Ren avoids another charge. ducking between the trees failing to keep the bore in sight at all times. ren then proceeds to zigzag through the trees to lose him.

“Ok calm down. As long as I avoid his line of sight, and can avoid the charges.” Ren then proceeds with his evasion strategy. Instead of constantly hiding.

Hiding from the bore seams useless as it can follow him threw smell. “dam sense of smell.” Ren thinks crash ren proceeds to dive as the boar barrels throw a bush. This also made it difficult to find a proper hidden spot." hmm I wonder why it did not get through the berry bush. it does not want to hurt its food source."

Ren proceeds to go back around trying to find the location of the berry bush. "If I can get there I think I can stop his charges." Ren manages to get to a familiar clearing. “yes a little more.” Ren hears the boar rushing through the trees. Panicking Ren Manages to go to the other side of the plant in time.

the boar sees the bear and prepares another charge. but then it sees the bush and it stops itself then. “yes I was right.” Ren excitedly moves to the tree-line.

“Now I just get away from this monster.” Ren looks around for an escape. “What can I do now.” He thinks for a while then looks to his claws. “oh right I can use these.” He then runs up to a nearby tree. “Now all I have to do is-“ reaor The bore then charges around the bush. Seeing this forces ren to go back around the bush again. “ I can't get anywhere without this stopping this thing”

I cannot keep running forever.” Looking at the bush Ren gets an idea. He then rushes to the bush using his small size to slip under it as the boar approaches. he clears the bush and manages to make it to the other side while the beast is distracted. “Gota move fast.” He then springs up the closest tree as ren can.

Ren begins his arduous climb up the tree. “man this is harder than I thought.” Ren then hears a noise as the monster boar just gotten from under the bush. It has come in front of the tree ren is staying at. “Ha, you can't get me now you future hotdog.”

ren finally relaxed as he made it to the top. At that moment the bore bashes into the tree. Causing the entire tree to shudder. “whoa!” Ren is shaken about with the tree but is not knocked off. “This sucks I thought the boar would leave once he got out of reach, but this thing won't quit.”

The little bear then moves to the other branches. Trying to escape by hiding in the leaves. In “I get out of this I just have to be careful.” He climbs up higher and higher, but as he climbs he hears a small nosie . creeeak

“Oh no, not today!” The cub steps off that branch to another nearby one, only to slip off the branch as the boar rams the tree again. “no no no no!” He manages to cushy landing. “ugh where did I land?” He looks down to see he is standing on the bore.

“$&#%” The bore enraged beings to buck in order to take him out. In return, Ren digs his claws into his back, and even bites to get a better grip. This drives the boar insane thrashing every which way.

At first, Ren’s claws and teeth do little damage to the bores hide. All he is doing to the bore is the same as a pinch. But as the boar thrashes Ren’s claws and teeth start to dig in. Finally cutting in and causing blood to flow. the tase of the hot blood in his mouth. “wow this is delicious.”

Ren begins to try to tare into the boring side. The desire to hang on forgotten and is trying to actively eat the bore alive.  

*squeal*

This proves to be the boar limit as the bellows in a voce he has herd a living being emits. None of this is in Ren’s mind as he is lost in the tase of the flesh. The hot blood in his mouth the blood is so good. “So delicious warm.”

Hmm isn’t this blood a little to warm. this confusion helps wakes ren from his blood-crazed state. “what a minute it’s hot hot hot!” The blood stops from being warm to as hot as boiling water even burning his mouth.

“The hell?!” terrified at what will happen next ren jumps from the boar. “What was that it was like the thing-“ and just then the bore entire back ignites in flames soiled red in coloration.

Ren stares up at his monstrous sight with a weird thought in his head. “Magic is a thing here. Yes!” The joyful until he remembers where he is.  The boar looks to him. “shit” Ren thinks as he hides from the bore turns to face him. “this has to be the worst way to learn the facts that magic is real.”

He starts to run while the flame pig chasing after. Feeling the heat clear on his back. The flames seem to not touch the plants. as he is running he notices something. “That pig a bit dull.” The bore seems to have a harder time tracking Ren. “ I guess magic really tiring.”

The flames on his back peter out. “ That move must be a purely defensive move.” Thou his being tired is not that big of an advantage as he is also just as beaten up like him. “This won't last long I have to find a way to get out.”

he does another clumsy charge. he notes a sound of rushing water. “Is that a river?” Seeing the opportunity ren changes course and heads toward for it. maybe the bore won't enter the water as its fire element might make it a poor swimmer.

However, Ren notices something odd. “where is the pig?” ren looks around and can’t find the smoked bore. confused he decides to book it for the river. Hoping to get there and leave this freaks Territory. He has to get there as fast as possible. “Maybe I should climb that tree?”

No, he can’t be slowed down by trying to climb the tree. “I have a better chance on land anyway.” He has made it to the river. It vary wide with heavy flowing water. “ I have no chance of swimming this. I better find another way to get there.”

SNORT

"What!" when he turns to look down the river he sees the bore approach. A devious look in its eyes. “Did it know where I was going.” The boar charges at full speed at Ren. He tries to doges towards the trees but can’t escape. bash asdfsd Ren is hit hard on his side and crashes heavily into the trees.

“Arrrag!” ren back feels on fire. He feels the blood run down his right arm. confused and pain he looks defiant at the bore slowly coming in for the kill. “ I won't die here.” He then steps off the edge and into the rive ren would rather take a gamble with the river then lose to the boar. Plunging into the water below and is pulled away by the water.
