Seeing the bear coming straight over, Beisitian knew it looked like a life-or-death struggle was unavoidable.
Actually, there was another way: wait until the wolf in the cave died and throw its body out. Maybe the bear would leave then, but thinking about the she-wolf already having cubs, Beisitian felt it would be too cruel to do that.
A healer's compassion, this was what her master taught her when she became an apprentice.
To humans and to animals alike.
This compassion is not foolish; in situations like this, if it truly came down to it, she could only choose this to save herself. She couldn't risk her life for a wolf.
But for now, it hadn't reached that point. Considering the cubs inside the she-wolf, Beisitian decided to wait and see for the time being.
A wolf in front and a bear behind, the current situation wasn't good. Beisitian had experienced more perilous situations before, so she wasn't panicked, remaining calm and composed.
