Finding The Wildcat! - Part of Zoltar TP

Zoltar was traveling at a good pace. He had his goal in mind , he knew what he wanted, he also knew his horde beasts would get bored on a long march, so they set up a camp and let them gather some supplies.

Shadowlight scanned the area, " Your need to be careful, these pine  can hide us well but soon we will be more in the open.

Rockpaw chuckled. " Least we don't have that flock of magpies now."

No, the group of magpies were not smart to attack, no one got seriously hurt, but all 100 of the magpies were now being roasted over fires.

It just so happened the horde was not the only ones in the area,so was a hare. The hare was Zolomon, former Long Patrol hare and he had seen the fire lights and smelled smoke. He slowed as he checked his belt, 3 homemade arrows in it, a frown came to him.

Zoltar  leaned back." And who in their right mind would attack me? And what else, warn de holt of otter...lota good that will do...50 of them...601 of us."

Shadowlight rolled her eyes." There is likely a good deal of beasts in Halyard.What is your plan for that my Lord?"

Brutus walked over, curious as well." I know some who would help that village fall,not a great deal. But still.."

Zolomon gasps as he quickly hides behind a tree and peeks at the large group of vermin. " Whoa...not good."

Rockpaw had went to  check on his Magpie when he saw movement and went to look." Something out thar Bones." He said to a fellow rat."

The rat got closer and tilted his head.." Ello?"

Shadowlight just shrugged,but listened.

Zoltar grinned." Under cover of darkness, a surprise attack ..kill some, start a couple fires...but not totally destroyed..I want the town to still run, just with me as his ruler."

Meanwhile Zolomon narrows his eyes and fires off an arrow into Bones the rat.

Rockpaw turned at a gurgle and yipped.." Boss..boss we is under attack!"

Brutus right away is standing,  he motions for a couple foxes to see what is going on.

Zoltar pulls out his blade,scans the area and others now go on alert as well.

Shadowlight lays a paw on her blade and is at the ready to fight.

Zolomon fires off an arrow, one fox dies and another is attacked with  the blade of the fox . A slice 2..3..4 times till a 2nd fox falls, seeing Brutus he blinks in shock and then eyes narrow. " YOU."

A snap of the fingers is heard,  and the hare is suddenly in some serious trouble and surrounded as Zoltar himself comes forward." What's this? Someone you seem to know Brutus?"

Shadowlight stays off to the side.

Rockpaw gulps, still a bit worried,plus his friend died.

Brutus smirks." He's a Sergeant in the Long Patrol...odd to be all alone." He smiles coldly." Ditch ya friends hare?"

Zolomon speaks." Former Long Patrol hare,no longer part of it,nor allowed back. " He frowns a little and then in the firefight takes a good look at the wildcat, mostly his scar as he stares as if remembering...he then backs up." Your..Zoltar."

Shadowlight snorts." Guess your already known my Lord."

Rockpaw blinks." That good...or bad?"

Zoltar raises an eyebrow and then smiles a not friendly smile." I am yes? Now how did you come to know this...who are you? Always good to know a beast if they know you."

Brutus  snorts with laughter." His name is Zolomon...just Zolomon now..haha...your so called friends ditched..YOU!"

Zolomon narrows his eyes." A drawing someone made of you." He goes to jab a finger into the wildcat chest. " YOU….you KILLED my BEST friend!." He goes to grab...yeah no saber.He has a dagger and one single arrow.

Zoltar chuckles." I have slain many beasts."

A small figure watched from the crowd .

Brutus replies." Can we add the one eared hare ta the list."

Shadowlight yawned now.

Zolomon snorts. " His name was Xander….and you killed him ugly fur face slime!"

Zoltar blinks and then chuckled insanely." Xander Winters?...He is...oh excuse me..was your friend?...Ha ha...oh yes, it was much entertaining and enjoyable watching the light of life fade from his eyes.He was dead before he finished collapsing to the ground!." The wildcat is taking great pleasure in telling the tale.

Zolomon screams and fires off his lazt arrow at the wildcat! He then charges with the dagger out!" DIE!!"

Brutus gets into a fighting stance and then goes to swing his long blade at the hare.

Zoltar side steps and the arrow sinks into his upper arm. A weasel is meet with the dagger when the when the wildcat uses him as a shield! He drops the dead weasel and then goes to kick the hare in the side.

Zolomon gets a deep cut to his arm and stumbles, he grunts as the kick connects and breaks a rib.He rolls a couple times on the ground and then stands, paws in fists.

Brutus grins and goes to fight bare paws.A sidestep,a punch towards the face, a kick to the legs.

Zoltar watches them fight as he rips out the arrow and tosses it aside. He only uses one blade." Move fool." He says to Brutus and goes to slice at the hare a couple times .

Zolomon backs up from the punch, and goes to get in one himself. The kick makes him stumble but he keeps his balance a d barely sidesteps the wildcat, the 2nd slice he lets out a yell as it cuts across the back and shoulder.

Brutus is knocked out so sorry Zoltar...he is likely kind of in the way.

Rockpaw watches "Oh oh...hare stew please?"

Zoltar goes to slam the hare to the ground, by grabbing his throat if he can.

Zolomon pants and then finds himself trying to pry clawed paw off his neck,he tenses in pain when he hits the ground.

Shadowlight heads back to her tent.

Zoltar smirks as he watches the hare. He then stabs down at his chest.

Zolomon rolls slightly and the blade cuts into his already hurting side.

Zoltar narrows his eyes slashing and slicing at the hare and then sets a footpaw on his chest.

Zolomon raises his arm, it blocked the slash. A slice gets just above his eye, cutting his ear,luckily not much damage to the ear but the slice above his eye bleeds  a lot. He scoots back and goes to stand shaky on his footpaws.

Zoltar grins and sweeps his legs with a footpaw.He smiles " This was fun...goodbye "

"Noooo" comes a voice who runs over...its Oz.

Zolomon  is on his back again  and in pain, losing blood and tired...he sees Oz and grunts.." Xandy?...  wait  your not… "

Zoltar looks at the badger cub.He looks at the hare." You know what..I will give you time to think." He puts away the blade and goes to drag Zolomon by his lone ear, he drags him a sort distance and lets go. He kneels down " I will let your final thoughts be..how you found Xander Winters killer and failed to slay him." He smirks." Your die here in a couple hours….all alone..enjoy or rather not enjoy your last moments of life "

Zolomon tried to get up but failed as he hurt all over and had lost a good bit of blood." You....won't...champion will...stop." He shivers.

" Champion?...oh no, I don't want that abbey." He smiles coldly." I like the sea..nice sea port, mountain fortress. De badger's head as a trophy on my new wall, ya know..Lord Ciocan own room, soon my room." Zoltar explains.

Zolomon weakly shakes his head.." N..nooo." He then looks ready to pass out.

Zoltar grins." Tell Xander Winters hello when you get to the dark forest." The wildcat then heads back to his camp that's about half a mile away from the stream.

A half hour passed when, an otter cub finds him and jogs down river." Conda..vonda."

Vonda glares." I told you, go home….oh never mind...little brothers are so annoying"

Kelp hmmphs, but frowns." Thar a deaded  hare by the stream…"

"Deaded hare?!" Vonda says and races off to find…" oh no." She goes to take a pulse.

Zolomon has a weak pulse and raspy breathing.He is alive...barely.

Kelo blinks." He as live?"

Vonda gets cloth she has and some bandages from Zolomon's pack to bind his wounds and goes lift him  getting a little ways and stops.." Kelp...get Errapel ...now."

Errapel did not live too far. A half mile up the creek.Taz was an ancient otter healer and wise beast. He also could move fast and was strong for his age . Soon the 3 beasts got the hare inside a sort of hollowed out den made of two thick trees that grew together.He worked on the hare and left him in a curtained off area.

Vonda spoke " Will he live?"

Kelp was asleep.

Errapel spoke." We will know come morning .You and your brother should not be out this far.But for the hare, it was a good thing."

Vonda sighs as she nods and lays down to rest, soon falling asleep by Kelp.

Zolomon lays unconscious and every so often shivers.Wounds are bandaged and even a little water down his throat. He was...alive.

**** When wolf he wake? Will he wake? Stay tuned***
