What began with bloodstains ended in tragedy when a bear, the true killer, returned. Though I killed it, the beast fatally wounded the grieving man. Capturing both predator and victim in one frame, I carried away only the bear's pelt and a haunting memory. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmb7o45yg88bkSuMaEMCRGRFCtaDNoqTDigy8WFBpmAuJi/screenshot_1_.png) I witnessed this story long ago and I've been keeping these captures since then. I guess I shouldn't hold this story to myself anymore. I was wandering around the frost side of the map, and this stranger asked my help to look for his friend who was missing from the morning. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVxdTR16aLeEPne5gG344TLSi7nzHsbR9wWz3DztNUd12/screenshot_2_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmc9p5ZxkTpAykW1z8MgQTrh1k8dKwEjF9QfNZrsF1rPco/screenshot_3_.png) Arthur told him he'd be called if the friend is noticed around. I started riding towards the spot that the map was suggesting me and I noticed some deer from a far. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYM2GHf4EVdJpKxJqnhX3ahzrNAHPau2DNtSXvZeGAE4o/screenshot_4_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcY2H84ktrvbeN4Mxhxs7dvB1M6ue5aFyejfHbSiWHpwa/screenshot_5_.png) I rode there, the deer escaped being spooked. There I noticed some bloodstains around but there was no body. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQo9Nr44GW8bDrf1Gyf68VKNHU2yvPq884xTuy8EH8kBK/screenshot_6_.png) I went back to the stranger but as I didn't find the friend of any body, Arthur didn't tell the stranger anything. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZEvQAXfHK7hhtZUvs3GMAdS3zto7xExcwU5HZ24DCHjp/screenshot_7_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmY1nHk7RKhJujZefYzh23WYd2m5U35LccFtQNVfBDrHxK/screenshot_8_.png) I went back to the spot and this time I found the dead body of the friend I was looking for. This time, there was no bloodstains around. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT9tVPnf8wZCAfXsoK34f622hqgkv3rKRNPMMKMD8MHyr/screenshot_10_.png) Now that I found the body, I went back to the stranger again and this time Arthur told him what he found so the stranger followed him. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZr3g1L1BVgPLLMJRq2gS8AteYZFkFMzA8eDHpRRjCwcZ/screenshot_11_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeMJLinec9eKzniug84UcqE2rQLizUS9cL8MkxSiLbxXY/screenshot_12_.png) Seeing the dead body of the beloved friend, the stranger started crying. It seemed like the dead man was attacked by a big beast or something. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeM4KsTR5Bop4prFuMtCMZPQpMcKUuuagMNbtbyzPTKst/screenshot_13_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNtvmJtSo92mSnDNvJUs8RZodjudM9YxtJV8akiMGBRuL/screenshot_14_.png) When the stranger was crying over his friends dead body, suddenly a bear reached them and this was the one who killed the fried. The bear chased the stranger and I shot down the beer. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT3U1DLAoojVNnZ9pj99NuQeaC3vpmppQ5ear7nY8D1Ea/screenshot_15_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmd8M1g9vjnaBsbs4ptDsH1Nwer9jrMuBXfEd5WNsCoTsL/screenshot_16_.png) But the bear attacked the stranger before it went down and it was bad so the stranger fell on the ground and died on my watch. I tried to capture the dead bodies of both killer and the victim in the same frame. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmePV6wmWoxXq9w4trCiYDXFu7jWhgMnTitcMk7KVuac6h/screenshot_17_.png) Then I skinned the bear to collect its carcasses and its valuable skin that I stowed on my horse and later sold somewhere. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQme5uSvE84GGphkPrhBbUeNc9KnB362YWr2Sb8R7tiix5x/screenshot_18_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmavvSn6yz6hbBMMbz2ZN5q6p16ozWbrq8pXYxJxn4bWJz/screenshot_19_.png) It was another day, after getting back to the summer part of the map. I was riding to somewhere and suddenly I noticed a man stowing a dead animal on his horseback and then he left riding his horse. As I was going somewhere, I didn't follow this NPC but I wish to follow such an NPC someday to see where they go and what they do later. ![divider.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmSqzmqSqxuRNbpX9wqjmKyhXH58FYwcK3wXaa32qnHugB/divider.png) Here I'm finishing the post for today and I'll come talk about more special RDR 2 gaming moments in Gaming Photography. ![23tRvMuLRERuPePNhyEjtaKt46FiKwDBgwVqqAberwmEFA36fPkh2ad6wvB1RYNKTVezR.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gamingphoto/23tRvMuLRERuPePNhyEjtaKt46FiKwDBgwVqqAberwmEFA36fPkh2ad6wvB1RYNKTVezR.png) "**The screenshots are my take but properties of Red Dead Redemption 2.**"
