The Bear Shaman

[lyrica]

Okay this is my first brother bear fanfiction, hope I make it well.

---

It was a calm day, as calm as one could be in the wilderness that is.
Everyone was just trying to fulfill their usual routine, squirrels gathering acorns for the winter, rabbits gathering their portion of food as well, the weather was getting colder... Yes winter was coming, and that meant it was time to gather some of the last minute resources for hibernating animals. Others who already had their fill headed home longing for their peaceful sleep.
It so happened that two of these creatures were a couple of bears.
Kenai wasn't really that anxious to six months of non interrupted sleep, he wasn't sure he would even manage to hibernate, Koda as usual spoke excitedly about his experiences while sleeping in the cave, trying to get his brother as enthusiastic as himself.
And failing miserably.
At first Kenai thought finding a cave would be a problem, but apparently Koda knew the way to his old cave where they were staying for the winter, thing was since he had a terrible sense of orientation he had to depend on the Little cub, and it wasn't proving that dependable. They had been walking around in circles for a while now when they decided to stop to find some food.
It didn't take long for Koda to sniff around through the snow and jump in triumph as he found the source of the food's smell and started digging. After a while Kenai saw this was going to take a bit since Koda's paws were smaller he could only dig a bit each time.
"Let me do that" he said pushing the small bear aside with his paw.
"No way! Your just going to cut it to pieces when you get to it like last time!" Koda protested trying to push his brother to dig himself effortlessly.
"Aw! Kenai! You ruined it!I told you you'd cut it to pieces!" Koda complained trying to eat a Little piece that was left.
" Well I wouldn't have cut them to pieces if you hadn't tried to dig over my paws!" Kenai said chuckling lightly at Koda's vague attempts to eat the small bits of root.
Just then his ears twitched when he heard a twig breaking somewhere nearby, Koda was too busy trying to eat to hear or smell anything.
Kenai eyed the area silently, then he saw it, a Shadow, a human Shadow, someone hiding behind a tree.
he quickly lowered himself to the ground and grabbed Koda by the man with his teeth.
"Hey! Kenai I wasn't finished! What're you-"
"Shhh!" he said hiding Koda under a tree log between the wood and the snow. " stay there!" he whispered moving away past the trees.
The hunter or who ever it was, was now moving between the trees too, by the size and figure it was probably a man, the pelt jacket wouldn't really let him tell but it looked like a man.
He approached him silently, thanking the snow for keeping his steps so silent.
Slowly he was getting closer, but the hunter seemed to hear him and turned around with a spear pointed at him in the last minute.
Kenai stood on his hind legs letting our a terrifying roar and whacked the spear with a paw breaking it into two easily and landing over the human.
"No! Kenai! Its me!" the human shouted as he could feel the mighty Bear's hot breath on his now uncovered face.
Kenai stopped his scary act to back away and realize who it was.
"Denahi?" the man slowly sat up laughing his breath out. Of course he didn't understand what Kenai said but the mere sound of questioning his brother gave said it all.
" Yes its me Kenai, I've been looking for you...I need your help with something."

"Denahi what're you doing here?" Kenai asked, though he quickly remembered he wouldn't understand him anyway. Koda came over to join them.
"What going on Kenai? Why is your brother here?" he asked in a carefree manner.
Denahi chuckled slightly as the two bears talked to each other and waited for it to calm down a little. "Done talking? Then let me explain. I need your help to find someone in the woods, I know its close to hibernation season but this is really important, your help would be great..." he said just as he saw his little brother about to argue back. " Our village has a new shaman, tanana was going to train her for a few years, a few days ago she sent the new shaman to the mountains, saying she needed to talk to the spirits in order to clear her mind and soul and see things through easily."
He paused to see if this was all sinking in. It seemed so. " She was suposed to have returned three days ago, we went to look for her at the mountain but she was no where to be found, we think she might have either ran away or gotten lost in the woods. Since you live around here it'd be helpfull if you kept an eye out for her. Tanana is really worried."
Kenai thought this through rubbing the top of his head with a paw then looked back at Koda who still didn't know what the human was talking about.
For one he did want to help his older brother, even though he didn't know the shaman nor did he know what to do when to find her, for the other side he really needed to get going to the cave so Koda could Hibernate like a real bear.
He was mixed in between decisions.
" Whats this all about Kenai?" Koda asked pawing his brother's arm for atention." He quickly explained the situation, the more he spoke the more excited the little bear seemed.
" So I'm deciding wether or not we should help, it IS allmost winter..."
" We should help!" Koda interrupted cheerfully. " 'sides we can look on our way to the cave, its still a bit far and we're lost anyway!"
Kenai sighed at the news of being lost "I knew it..." he looked back at Denahi who seemed to have patiently waited up until then observing them.
" So, I guess its time for your answer. " he said as the bear was now looking back at him. " if you agree to help nod your head, if you can't shake it." to his content his little brother nodded. " good! thats great news. If you do happen to see her make sure she returns to the village." again he was content at seeing his brother nod. " I better head back and report to the village, it was nice seeing you again little brother." he said patting the large bear on his shoulder. " keep at it." and with that Denahi left, a smile on his face and newly encouraged energy now that he knew he was going back home.
After watching him leave Kenai was brought back to reality.
"So, are we going now? You know I could really use some REAL food this time!" Koda said jumping in front of him enthusiastically.
He chuckled and started to fall the little ball of fur in front of him. " Allright Koda, lets find some good food with that nose of yours.
Sure enough not long after Koda found a nice river to drink at and to catch some of the few remaining fish in it. That was the thing about winter, the food was much less, berries didn't grow more, the fish wasn't as much, all that was left was caribou, moose, squirrels and other animals such as those, which Kenai prefered not to eat after meeting the two moose friends of his.
Speaking of which, it took them a while to notice the said moose by the end of the stream where it broke into small and calm waterfalls. they were standing right between a few rocks and logs talking to each other.
"I wonder what those two are up to now.." he asked outloud. Koda who had just managed to catch a fish and was half way eating it glanced over with his mouth overly full.
"Their probably just grazin'...come on are you going to eat or what? You know you have to get your belly full otherwise you'll wake up all fur and bones! I know a friend who once ate only ..." but kenai wasn't listening anymore, he was observing the moose closely, it seemed they had found something, moose didn't usually graze on water, especially on this time of the ear and right at the edge of the waterfall.
"C'mon Koda, lets go see what those two are up to" he said after a while.
Once aproaching the moose seemed to realise their presence.
"Oh! Hey eh?" Rutt said once they were near enough.
" Hows it going big bear?" Tuke asked.
" We were just thinking about looking around for you guys eh. See we found this here bear by the logs and thought she might need some help see?"
" A bear?" Koda asked excitedly hurrying over to the two moose to see the fallen mop of brown fur stuck against the logs.
"Yeahhhhh, we think shes still alive, but like, we can't really tell you know?" rutt said.
"When did you find her?" Kenai asked joining his little brother to investigate the fallen bear, sure enough it did look like a female, with the far a bit more reddish than his, seemed to be completly out of it.
"A couple of hours ago, we were grazin by the shore of the stream see? then all of the sudden we found our water had some fur and came to see this here."
"We've been trying to wake her up but our efforts are like convincing a chipmonk his not going to be eaten by a bear."
about then Koda backed away as the bear moved a bit.
"Oh gee! I think I saw it move!"

thats it for now hope ya enjoyed it
