At least until Marcus stuck himself between the grizzly and its meal. Though larger than the female, Marcus obviously had more meat to him, and the gnawing, infuriatingly deep hunger only seemed to grow at the thought. The swinging sword caused him to take a step back, paw sinking into the earth a few inches as weight was redistributed.<br/><br/>The beasts eyes had gone completely black by that time, the irises having disappeared behind whatever nightmarish substance now coursed through it. When the male was done swinging, the beast took a swing of its own, and neatly slapped the sword from Marcus' hand and opened three shallow gashes from forearm to knuckles as it did so. The swinging of the sword had thrown the beast slightly off balance, and the swipe likely would have taken Marcus' arm had he not done so.<br/><br/>Settling back down onto all fours, it began to strafe to Marcus' left, in an attempt to get a better angle on the smaller and less dangerous female behind him.
