The little black cub, Toby, ran as fast as he could back to the castle. Those creatures that ambushed them dragged Rinnie and Edge with them. It was his first time seeing such creatures that reeked with blood more pungent than the ferocious werewolves.
He huffed as soon as he caught werewolves guarding the castle. Like a dog, Toby desperately got their attention.
"Huh?" One of the two guards furrowed his brows, gazing down at the frantic black bear woofing. "Isn't this the one Luna took home?"
"A black chubby bear that is like a black ball..." the other one muttered, describing what he had heard about the bear Rinnie always carried in her arms. Not everyone had seen the baby cub under the grand duchess' care. But everyone had heard about it.
Seeing Toby, the two guards finally understood why their luna was fond of it. It was adorable, even though he was a black bear that would grow so big, just like those intimidating bears from beyond the border.
