Elizabeth
She couldn't tell what the arrows were made of, but there were suddenly two sticking from the ursur, burning bright in the shadows of the trees. Her own lightning flashed blue against the warm white yellow of his magic, crackling in its intensity as it struck against the opposite shoulder, a singing sizzle echoing through the space. The onslaught of attacks sent the bear roaring and reeling, quickly determining its path of retreat.
It wasn't until Elizabeth could no longer hear the crunch of its massive paws in the snow that she emerged from behind the tree, more than a little frazzled and short of breath. She swallowed in an attempt to wet her dry throat as she looked to the man who'd gallantly run to her rescue, her face still a little pale with shock. "Thank you. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't shown up." She flinched, imagining instead what could have happened, none of which was pretty.
Elizabeth glanced in the direction of tracks and disrupted snow, her brown eyes narrowed like she might see it lumbering back towards them, set on revenge for the damage they'd inflicted. "Do you... think it'll come back?"
