Fenrir The Polar Bear: Part Two
As he is pulled out of the water
Fenrir sees his competition
The Sasquatch
The beasts
His fellow bears have finished their hunt for him!
His fellow bears have betrayed him!
He is the hunted now, and they are the hunters!
Suddenly he feels a transformation take place
The Sasquatch watch with their beady, squinty eyes
Thick fur standing on end like a timid cat
As Fenrir grows the head of a serpent
As he grows the tail of a scorpion
The ferocity of a wolverine
The hooves of a horse
And the temper of a fire ant!
The Sasquatch stands no chance
As Fenrir makes short work of them
He stings one Sasquatch with the scorpion venom
And then devours him whole without chewing
Using the power of the wolverine
He tramples the other with fearsome hooves
And cuts him into minced edible pieces
Using the serpent head of chaos
They tried to restrain Fenrir
With the strongest chains in the icy landscape
He broke free
And emerged stronger than ever!
But when Fenrir was victorious
An arm reached out from his throat
Fenrir felt the remains of the bear he had eaten
Move in his stomach
He felt the arm reach out like a piston
And put a magic ribbon around him
A magic ribbon
Made of the sound of a cat's footsteps
The roots of a mountain
The sinews of a bear
The beard of a woman
The breath of a fish
And the spit of a bird!
The arm and stomach moved
One last time
Before the bear finally died
And Fenrir
He was imprisoned
A walrus
Formerly a threatening beast
A Intimidating polar bear
A creature of extreme muscle
Of extreme strength and size
Reduced to a walrus
And imprisoned by a simple ribbon
He would stay there
Until he was a frozen statue
And this was a reminder
Of the life cycle of this unforgiving climate
Of the need to feed and thrive by any means
Of the need to be restored to something that is stronger
Something that is deadlier in every way
By destroying your own kind
Destroying the kind of creature you once were
All to simply survive
Only to be bound forever by the ones you consumed
The ones you were once a part of
The ones you belonged to
