I carried my own ashes to the mountains
Deimos had lived multiple lives on confrontation; so the manner in which they approached didn’t rankle or bother him at all. He coasted overhead, occasionally glancing downward to ensure Alys was following, remained safe, and not overwhelmed by something else. Only when he spotted the bear did he begin to descend, a purposeful, slow unwinding, wings outstretched as if he didn’t have a care in the world, until he could pinpoint and land amidst the rocky outcroppings.
Belial continued to serve as a spy from above, while the Sword shifted back to normal statures. Avoiding spooking the herd with his existence had been his main goal, and now he primarily honed and focused on the ursur. Waiting for Alys to join him at the particular spot, he jutted his jaw again, for her to glance over the boulder and peer upon what they intended to deter and distract.
It was a good-sized, young thing; probably one of the many yearlings making their way around the tundra. But it was also quiet, only mildly shuffling and snorting at the ground, occasionally lifting its head to scour the herd; a pretense. A low whisper, a muffled rumble, eventually left his throat, intending to see how she faired in methodical notions. “What would you like to try first?”
