The bear looks down at you kindly and raises its bloodstained paw. Gently it hooks a razor-sharp claw under the strap of your backpack and lifts you to your feet. Having just witnessed the power and ferocity of the creature, you are amazed at how tame it has become under the influence of your Kai mastery. Suddenly something in the air disturbs him and you sense that he wants to leave this place, and he wants you to follow.

If you wish to follow the bear, turn to 58.

If not, turn to 3.
