A roaming beast

In June 2022, the tranquility of Altha’s surroundings was interrupted by a familiar yet distinct sight. She recognized this particular bear, or one eerily similar, from a past encounter. Despite the familiarity, there was an air of unease. This encounter felt different, sparking a sense of caution in her.

Though Altha had always acted with caution during past bear sightings, something about this encounter felt different. However, she remembered her previous actions that had kept her safe and tried to replicate them, understanding the imperative nature of her actions around these magnificent creatures.
