I went for a walk, coming to where the zones all met.

Deciding to go to the orange zone, I padded towards the cave I had seen yesterday.

It seemed deserted, but a rank scent of bear hung in the air. There was some blood on the branches. I didn't see the wolf from earlier. Perhaps this bear had taken over.

I hated bears. They were irritating and generally horrible.

Hearing some rustling, I drew my sword. Suddenly, a huge animal leapt on top of me and brutally dismembered me and tore my throat out in a millisecond.

I realized my eyes were closed. I blinked. I had just imagined a day nightmare. But the pain felt so real..

I looked around the cave for a while. A few supplies here and there. I decided to grab a bottle of water and head out of here as fast as I could when the scent grew stronger and a low, horrible growl sounded behind me.

The air was knocked out of my lungs as a huge weight pinned me to the ground. I felt pressure being applied to my throat. My head was held in place. All I saw was pitch black, my captor invisible.

Drool dribbled onto my face as I felt the bear's head lower to my ear. I breathed through my mouth to avoid the putrid stench.

"You're a snow leopard, aren't you?" He snarled in my ear, his breaths tickling my ear fur. "A dainty little snow leopard. Reduced to a useless, filthy rat of a thief."

"You're won't," I said quietly. The pressure on my throat grew stronger.

"What did you say to me, scoundrel?" He whispered. "Did I give you permission to speak?"

I flattened my ears. I was not a dirty commoner, and he was not a noble mountain king!

"I said," the bear snarled in a deadly whisper, "did. I. Give. You. Permission. To. Speak?"

I hesitated, then meekly shook my head as his claws began pressing into my throat. Was his goal to completely humiliate me, destroy the little pride I had left?

Then his grip loosened. He roughly shoved me to my paws, and then a searing pain slashed across my side.

"This is your punishment," he said calmly as I shrieked in pain and fell to the ground, sobbing in agony at his paws. "Now go, mangy rat. If I see you again, I'll make sure your death is a painful one."

I limped out, followed by the bear.

The voices began.

I sprung.

We tussled for a while, till I got the upper hand and dealt serious damage. He lay there, bleeding, as I staggered away, covered in wounds, ignoring the hissing voice telling me to kill him.

I collapsed in the blue zone, distantly glimpsing a hyena and dragon, before going unconscious.
