Does a bear go back to its favorite cave? Or does it go to the one more suited for its needs? Some say the bear is wise. With senses sharper than obsidian spear tips and an intelligence to rival our own. Because of this, it must go to where the rivers are more fruitful. Where boundless waves catch glistening salmon, and berries hug every bush. Where the foraging is plentiful and the prey lies feeble. But sometimes, it chooses to remain. To stay in its favorite cave forever. The bear would rather sacrifice itself and its future for the comfort of familiarity. Here, the bear feels safe. It knows it's safe. This bear listens to its heart more than to the bear within. This bear will be the first to die.
