Chapter Three: Toklo's Downer

    Toklo
   
  "Toklo!" Toklo's mother, Oka, scolded. "Get off the BlackPath!"
  Toklo turned and saw a firebeast zooming at him. He'd forgotten that he was on the BlackPath while he was fantasy hunting a rabbit. Just in time, the grizzly cub dodged and rolled onto the dandelion field where his sickly younger brother, Tobi, lay. Oka bit Toklo's scruff and tossed him onto a tree. She padded up to him.
  "How dare you scare me like that! Instead of fooling around, try having an actual life and eat the dandelions! Look at Tobi!" Oka gestured to the sick grizzly. "He's following orders! Now go ahead and be like your brother!"
  Toklo growled. "Dumb Tobi's sick! Can't you see it? He's sick! I can't believe you like a sick cub instead of a healthy cub! Can't we hunt? That's what real bears do!"
  Oka shook her head. "You know that the mountains are full of grizzlies, ready to catch the salmon! It's better down here, where dandelions are plentiful. Now be quiet, Toklo! I'm ready to take care of Tobi!"
  Toklo rolled his eyes. "Tobi's is all you pay attention to." Toklo mumbled.
  Before Tobi got sick, he and Tobi played. Oka was happy, they hunted rabbits, played! It was all until Tobi got sick! Ever since then, Oka payed attention to only Tobi and acted like Toklo was a nobody! 
  But no time to think about that! Toklo thought . It's time to move onto another boring dandelion patch.
  They moved onto a patch, near a stream on a tall hill where a couple of grizzlies gathered. Water filled up in Toklo's mouth as he pictured a fat, juicy, salmon in his mouth. He saw Oka lick Tobi's ruffled fur and padded up the hill. Toklo reached the top and salmon jumped out of the fish, now and then. The smell of grizzlies comforted his nose. When he padded to a spot, he heard some she-bears talk about a grizzly.
  "Did you hear about the lost cub? Some bears say that he already got shot by a flat-face's firestick!" One grizzly said.
  "Yeah! They also said the cub could shape-shift!"
  "Pfft! Like that's true! Probably just a myth!"
  The three bears nodded and ran off. Toklo now focused on the river. He suddenly felt something sliver around his paws. Toklo saw the fish and pounced, sending up a spray of water. He missed! Toklo stood up, still in the water. He saw one near the middle of the stream and pounced. Another miss! Water filled Toklo's mouth and nose as he bobbed up and down, caught in the current. Toklo whimpered in fright, thinking he was gonna drown. He suddenly felt a furry leg. Teeth sunk into his scruff and fished him out. There stood Oka, glaring down at him with furious eyes.
