A man trotted through the forest. The sun hung above, baking the earth. He wiped his brow.

A deer was chased by wolves into the heart of the forest. There were no clouds, a beautiful sunny day. How unfortunate, it just wanted to eat a patch of grass quietly, but no, they had to chase the deer. It sought cover by running into the forest, but its predators kept chasing after it.

The man glanced up, drawn to the sudden movement. A panicked deer ran towards him, multiple footsteps chasing after. The deer had lost its speed, and the wolves are catching up.

The wolves pounced. The deer has to be too tired to run. The leader padded towards the deer.

They expected an exhausted deer. A giant Siberian tiger in front of it was definitely unexpected.

Eat. Me. Prey. If the wolves thoughts were translated into English, it would be that.

A reckless wolf attacked. The tiger roared before it made its move, claws slashing in front of the wolf. It fell under the gaze of the tiger, marks visible on its face. The leader pounced. It's on.

The leader of the pack thought that six wolves are enough to take on any enemy on its own. But now it's having its doubts. The creature it's facing is special. It radiated power. Still, they worked hard for the deer, they can't just leave its prey when it's so close ahead.

The tiger sunk its teeth on the back of one of the wolves, drawing blood. It spun, throwing off a wolf that landed itself onto the side. It then swiped its paw, fending off the wolves. It roared loudly, momentarily stunning the wolves.

A surge of brown washed through the patterned fur of the giant feline. It stood up on its hind legs, the muscles strengthening, becoming thicker and wider.

A grizzly bear lumbered over the wolves.

They escaped. This is no ordinary animal. Instinct had taken over desire.

The deer shivered. It's going to be eaten now. This thing is not like any ordinary creature.

Go. The deer heard a voice speaking in deer language. Run!

It escaped, running as fast as it can.

The grizzly bear shrunk back into the man, naked. He picked up the folded clothes he had and dressed up. He wiped his brow again. Being a grizzly on a hot summer day is no joke, with the thick fur and such fat.

I know, these chapters are just about fighting and there's no plot, but bear with me, things are getting real starting from the next chapter.

Yup.
