Book 6: Chapter 148
In a forest filled with massive trees, dozens of bears were gathered. There were all kinds of bears: black, brown, white, red, panda, the list went on. One bear stood out because it was standing on a massive boulder that all the other bears were surrounding. It had a hulking figure, one that was almost as large as an adult dragon. Its body was covered in scars, the scar tissue preventing fur in those areas from regrowing.
A new dragon has entered the tower, the hulking bear said and swept its gaze over the gathered bears. It is slaughtering and eating our brethren on the eleventh floor. As part of the United Bear Alliance, does this news not cause flames to grow in your chest? Are you not angry?
Were angry! one of the bears in the crowd shouted.
Another bear stood on its hindlegs and roared at the sky. Im raging mad!
Im ready to smack some sense into that dragon!
The rest of the bears roared and shouted in agreement. The leader of the bears, the hulking one, nodded. It roared towards the sky. Let us go save our brethren!

Vur plucked the nutrient off of a bears head and popped it into his mouth like it was a piece of candy. After he was done snacking on the blood and flesh, he took the glowing green crystal out of his mouth and placed it against his chest. The crystal dissolved, liquifying and sinking into his skin. Vur raised an eyebrow as Stella, who was sitting on his shoulder, trembled and swayed from side to side with small motions like a stricken tuning fork. Are you okay? Vur asked the fairy that was practically buzzing.
Okay? Stella asked. No, Im not okay. Im better than okay! She flew into the air and somersaulted three times before landing on Vurs head. She patted the bat skeleton that was clinging to his hair and laughed. Her arms stretched towards the sky, and her bloodshot eyes widened. I feel strong enough to destroy the whole world!
If you possessed another residence, I bet you could raise some bears there, Sheryl said from the sunlike runes on Vurs shoulder. You wouldnt have to eat frozen bears all the time. Also, when the towers connected to Erde, you can have Gloria visit the residence to pick out a bear as a pet. Im sure shed love it.
Vur tilted his head to the side. Sheryls suggestion wasnt a bad idea; it was only a little more work to capture bears alive instead of freezing them solid.
A deep roar rang through the forest once more, shaking the trees. A massive figure came into view, revealing a dragon-sized bear covered in scars. Hey! Dragon! the bear shouted. Where are you hiding? Are you only brave enough to pick on the weak!?
Vur tilted his head back to look up at the bear. At the same time, the bear glanced down at Vur. Its gaze shifted onto the frozen pile of smaller bears stacked on top of the earthen hand, and its eyes widened. Despicable coward! the bear shouted before pointing at Vur. Wheres the dragon? I can sense its aura on you.
Vur blinked, and lowered his head to look past the massive bears feet. Behind it, there were hundreds of bears of all sizes: some towered over the treetops, some were only as large as the big bears paw. A furrow appeared on Vurs brow. Stella, he said, glancing down at his chest. Do you see this?
Yeah, Stella said, her voice ringing in his head.
Vur scratched his head. Am I being attacked by food?
Thats what it looks like.
Huh. Vur blinked at the massive bear. This is weird.
