Clear and cold moonlight slowly spilt from the sky, enveloping the entire forest in a faint and mysterious net of silver.

"Huuu." 

With his feet planted on top of a thick branch, a youth tightly held onto the tusk of the tree. His cold deep blue eyes surveilled the surroundings as a small bun appeared at the back of his head, tying his shoulder-length hair. 

An unusual silence prevailed over the forest. 

"Rooooooar!" 

The silence did not last for long as a ferocious roar soon broke it. Then, appearing from behind a couple of trees was an enormous black bear with sharp claws that extended to at least the size of a pen. 

"Huuuup!" 

Standing on the opposite side of the bear was a youth with hazel eyes and curly brown hair.

Holding onto a large shield, the youth glared at the bear standing opposite him. After that, crying out, he dashed towards the bear with his right shoulder protected by the shield. 

"Rooooar!"
