Lore
Years back, Gremla's husband vanished. Men combed the woods for three days and found nothing — then I discovered him in a bear's den. His left arm was torn clean off and gone; his entrails lay strewn about. The bear had abandoned him half-eaten, keeping the remainder for later. It took me two more days to find the courage to break the news to Gremla. Years have passed since, yet I still hold that — short of no alternative — taking on an enraged bear is a dreadful idea.
