The Threat (Claw 1-9)

Synopsis
Xoko woke up and began howling loudly. The bandit dropped his spear. 'It's time to quieten this stupid bear, otherwise it may tear our throats.' 'Have pity on us, Ollie. Let's finish the bear at sunrise, we have too much julep running in our veins now.'

Completion
When the poachers went back to their tents and we could hear their peaceful snoring, we climbed out of the hideout. Dull Echo crept to the cage and tried to open it. I felt uneasy: it was the first time I'd been head on to a two-meter tall bear.
