Star closed her eyes again and listened to what Ursa said. "Fine." Star walked with no fear but yet there was that voice in the back of her head telling her to watch her back. She pulled the dagger out from her bag and shoved it up her sleeve. She turned around and still saw the figure standing there as she turned around she was still walking but backwards, she ended up falling with a thud. "Opps... I don't think that's casual." Star looked up and saw Ursa and gave a weak smile. "Don't worry. Were fine." She sighed and stayed sitting on the ground.

Ursa laughed, extending a shaky hand to help Star up from the snow. "Are you ok? watch where you're going hahaha" She hoped that they looked like two people casually having fun on a snow day, 'Iwonder who is following us....' She thought of dashing off the trail to lose the, but their tracks would be easy to Follow, and she didn't know how close Bears wandered to Fen... Her face was red hot and her heart was pounding so hard it hurt. 'Keep calm...Star needs you to Stay strong...'
"Come on Star, goofball!" She teased. When she leaned over to help her up, she cautiously looked over her shoulder, not seeing anything she needed to see on the far right that Star spoke of.

Starfire looked at Ursa and stood up. "I'm fine." She slowly took the dagger out of her sleeve seeling a bit more safe then when she was earlier. "I wish you didn't have to go. I wish you would just stay and talk to Billy." She whispered the name knowing that she wouldn't like to hear the name. But star wanted Ursa to talk. "What happened between you and Eliie? She was telling me something about you two in an argument or something?"

Ursarius linked arms with Star as they walked "I'll talk to Billy, Eventually Star, Right now I have more important things to do. And as for Ellie... I don't really want to get into that right now..." She turned her head to look at Star but her eyes were looking behind them, now she could see the figures... but couldn't recognize them. She frowned and kept Star moving, if she had to fight to protect her, she would. But she's rather not fight in human form, her movements were weak and too precise, wielding a staff was much different when her body size in general was less than half it's usual size. If she was going to prove to the Ursanids that she was strong, it had to be this way... or so she thought.
There had to be a way, she just didn't find it yet.
Starfire and Ursa were entering Bear territory now, just a few yards north from the Human lands, the Bears began to take over. The Humans and others of the Mountain were supposed to keep intruders from reaching the summit, but those who were brave enough to climb the mountain had to Deal with the Mountainmen, the longest living and most territorial bears known to the continental man. Ursa swallowed hard, taking a deep breath and exhaling her worries. The Bears were her family, but only a handful of Bears would recognize her in this form, there may be trouble if she brought the wrong people into the Ursanids homeland... the Elders would have something to say.. unless Ursa could say it first.

Star sighed and kept walking linked arms with bear...... Ursa..... 'I feel so protected. Why did I leave. That was a stupid choice to make.' She kept thinking along those lines and kept walking she didn't care if the people were behind them, she kept walking feeling warm on the inside. That was enough to kept her warm. "Thank you for for taking me with you. I just I don't know what to say."

Ursa grinned "You have no Idea how Good it feels to travel with you again. To have you by my side. " She smiled at Starfire, who was just a little taller than she was now, her grin faded into a serious line, and then a frown. "...Even if it is... just for a little while... I missed you." She said, looking up the mountain as she walked. She knew it was Bear territory now, so she led Starfire up the Promenade, Which was the fake Trail to Bear Summit, the Bears used it like a lure for Humans, and would often send Scouts like Ursa to Check it for Intruders who would get lost there while Poaching.

She looked down. "I missed you too.... Very much. It's to late though." She sighed. "do you know where we're going?" She said out of curiousity. 'I hate the feeling of being alone. Why did I leave. I wish I could go back in time to fix everything.' She just kept walking and reached into her bag and grabbed an extra pair of gloves. She looked at Ursa and thought that maybe she was cold. "Are you cold? I have an extra pair of gloves in my bag."

Ursa kept walking up the Promenade, she didn't look at Starfire, she was scanning the area for Bear Scouts. "It's never too late for you to make the Right choice Star..." She smelled the air and looked for certain clues to tell her when the last patrol went by, but the Mountain trail was untouched, like no one had climbed the mountain to bear Summit all winter. Ursa knew that was a lie. But she Wanted them to go up the wrong path, she wanted to gain the attention of the Mountainmen... and soon they would be closing in on them.
"Yes, I know where we are going, this is my home, remember?" Ursa completely ignored the comment about gloves, and being cold.

Starfire looked down. "I'm sorry. But are we almost there yet?" Star was feeling cold but didn't show it or talk about it because she didn't want Ursa worrying. "You never answered my question..." Star said running ahead of her then started walking backwards again.

Ursa smirked, She loved seeing Starfire energetic, and not crying for once. She wished that they could Enjoy the company while it lasted, but their time was short lived. Ursa's smile faded and her heart sank. "Star wait. Come back." She called to Star. Te Fear of losing Starfire was setting in again,and just like her nightmare come true. It was too late. The Bears were all around them. And the Two girls were caught like spiders in a web. _______________________________________
Markkus took a deep breath and held his palm level with the ground, His hand began to glow with green and gold light, Ursa had taken a few steps tward Starfire, But Markkus gave her no time to interfere. He swung his hand quickly toward Ursa, and a dark golden light froze her in place, she would have Screamed, but she kept her mouth shut, her eyes were wide and she Stared at Starfire, it had begun.
Markkus had Entangled Ursarius, Vines and roots breaking through the Ice at her feet, and wrapping around her legs. He shook his hand and it started to glow allover again, he was readying another Entangle spell, aiming at Starfire. Two more Bears appeared. One on Star's Right, and the Other on Star's Left.

Star's smile faded as she watched Ursa become entangled. "Stop. Her name is Ursarius. I have proof." She whipped the necklace off from around her neck and held it up with no fear. "You told me to do this." She whispered to herself.

Ursa shook her head, 'No..' She looked around for where the Entangle had come from, but there were no Bears yet to be seen. 'Star, damn it...' ________________________________________________
Markkus Stood and the other Bears came into view, Markkus was a Black Bear with a Brown stomach and a white patch on his collarbone. The Other two looked like Grizzlies with Brown Leather armor, they had polearmspointed at Starfire. Markkus flung the Charged Entangle at Starfire. He growled low as the spell flew through the air toward her.

Drgoax jumped out of hiding and swung his maul at the spell flying at Starfire.
"What's going on here?!" He shouted, demanding to know. "This is Ursarius Dauntless one of the bears from this mountain. Why do you attack her and her companion?"

Starfire covered her face when the bear threw the entangled ball at her. Nothing happened? She opened her eyes and saw Drogax in front of her. "Drogax!" Star was happy she was saved. "Why are you here?" She whispered to Drogax.

Markkus smiled, as the entangle is blocked by Drogax's weapon, the vines and roots come up from the ground beneath the snow and trap drogax. Markkus raises a hand and one of the Bears Beside Starfire reach out to grab her. He walked calmly toward the intruders and took a good look at Ursa. Examining her he shook his head. ________________________________________________
Ursarius pulled and tugged at her entangle but the more she resisted the more the vines climbed on her and stopped her movements. 'Star... it's okay....' she thought, wishing that she could hear her thoughts. 'I'm with you...' She held her breath and hear heart was pounding, but she knew it was for the best. Markkus was a Druid, but he had the same list of Orders from the Elder that Ursarius had before she left the Mountain. _________________________________________
Markkus let the Bears apprehend Starfire, but he didn't look like he was going to attack, just immobilize.
