Poor Ty, he had been known for stumbling into unfortunate situations many, many times, and today was no exception. What had begun as a daily walk through the backwoods of Phoenix Valley ended up being a run for his life. Ty had been out on a run, a usual run, as he loved to do, ducking and weaving in between the trees, changing from optime to wolf form and back again to maneuver better. However, he had stopped to catch his breath, and was now sitting on a rock, just attempting to get some air. He liked pushing himself to the limit of his ability, it made him a little stronger each time. He secretly wanted to be a scout, so he ran every day to quicken his time from one side of the valley to as far as he could get that day. A combination of his light frame and his training in parkour allowed him to maneuver a forest quite quickly.
However, today, in his spot to sit and catch his breath, he heard a loud roar as he whipped his head around to see a gigantic grizzly bear staring him down. Not too far away, Ty could see a cave with some bear cubs poking their heads out of the hole, and Ty immediately caught onto why the great grizzly was mad. He was way too close to this bear's children, and she didn't like that kind of threat at all. Ty had no training in low speech,so he couldn't really explain to the bear he meant no harm, and the large beast lunged at Ty with all of her girth, intending to physically crush Ty. However, Ty's muscles reacted opposite the grizzly's in pure defense, rolling away from the hulking beast's lunge. As soon as Ty regained footing from the roll, he took off running, not wanting to continue this confrontation.
With Ty's training and practice, he might have stood a remote chance in fighting this beast, but it was slim. This particular bear was huge, the size of a male bear, and was obviously ready to tear Ty's head off, Ty guessed it was hungry as well, and he didn't want to test how desperate it was for a kill. He had seen what a bear had done to Jefferson and that this bear had cubs, ad neither one of those things were good choices with fighting the bear, so running was a much better option. However, while Ty was agile, and his parkour skills could keep him one step ahead of the bear, the bear could simply power through all the brush, and was gaining on the fleet-footed but tired wolf. After all, he had already been running for a while, and he could feel his muscles straining to push on, the sweat drenching his fur as he avoided the sharp teeth and brute swipes, he couldn't keep this up forever. He had to find a way to get away from the bear in a way that the bear couldn't follow, or he would have to stand and fight, and hope for a bit of luck when fighting it.
However, that option came up sooner then he expected, Ty saw it just before he came up to it, a cliff side came up before he really had a chance to stop. There was absolutely no way for him to stop completely at this momentum, so he had no choice but to jump and hope for a safe landing. Taking a deep breath, he felt himself lift off the ground and into the air, looking down onto what he was going to fall on. His eyes widened as he realized what he was going to fall on. While it wasn't downright going to kill him or hurt him, it still probably wouldn't be the most comfy of landings. It was about a 15 foot drop, but it was into a big pile of leaves, not all that cushy of a landing, but still enough where he wouldn't break anything. Ty only had time to let out a "Oh craaaaaaaaaaaap!!!" as he plummeted into the leaves with a loud 'thump', the leaves ruffled up around him as he landed.
The bear at this point had stopped following him and went back to it's cubs, letting Ty rest and lick his wounds, which were nothing more then a few scrapes and scratches from the trees and bushes he ran by.
