Alvar is Leader of The Gawtrybe?!This Can't Be Good!

I play Ekon in this log. Alvar has become Tribe leader in, as Ekon states, a dishonorable way when he beat Treesong in a challenge fight. He then proceeds to make the day worse for Ekon and Treesong with more dishonor to the tribe!

Alvar stands in front of the tribe as he is leader now and grins “As you know I am leader now of Gawtrybe and Treesong is not”

Ekon frowns as he listens, “Rightful leader you are not…Treesong is”

Treesong frowns as she looks at Alvar “What you did was wrong, you have no right”

Alvar grins “Oh but I do, it is the old ways and laws, never changed and most likely never will be by this old fool” He looks at Ekon and then Treesong, “I challenged you and you can’t refuse a challenge from a tribe member or fellow squirrel, and you lost so I am now leader and not you, you were not ready for leadership.

Ekon stands weakly as he is not healed up yet, ”You bring dishonor to the tribe Alvar, I ask you to leave” He sounds angry.

Alvar smirks and shows the rainbow necklace , “I wear the rainbow shell, I don’t take orders from you and no one else does in this tribe either old one, your days of leadership are no more and will never be again. I will bring order and I will bring back the old ways that should never of been looked down upon.”

Treesong glares and rushes forwards with her sling loaded and fires off a rock.

Ekon watches, “Treesong, careful be!”

The squirrel maid doesn’t get very far as 3 squirrels on Alvar’s side attack her, and Alvar chuckles “You can’t challenge me back, that’s against the clan ways.”

Treesong avoids one squirrel and barely another, but the third with the dagger gets her shoulder as she tries to dodge them.

Ekon eyes go wide “Nooo granddaughter!”

Alvar smirks as he watches and has a cutlass he stole from some vermin, he swings it at Treesong and tries a sweep of her legs.

Treesong jumps up to avoid the sweep and gets cut in the upper arm and holds it with the paw of her right hand as it was her left arm that’s injured and backs away from Alvar.

Ekon attempts to rush forwards, weak or not he is going to defend his granddaughter.

A group of squirrels hold back Ekon when he tries to go help his granddaughter and Alvar walks over “You know I could make you leader again..sort of and spare him” He points to Ekon who has a blade at his throat.

Treesong gasps “No! Let him go don’t hurt my grandfather!” She looks at Alvar “Wh..what do you mean..leader again..wait it’s a trick”

Ekon holds very still and watches as Alvar speaks to Treesong.

Alvar walks forwards and cups her chin in his paw and smiles, “Marry me..then your leader or well co leader, then again you still will have no say so but you couldn’t say you’re not leader any more as that would be a lie, and if you say yes he lives…if you say no he dies before your eyes. And others die one by one that you have called friend, including the ones who come. You say Yes I leave them all alone, we stay on our land and help no one…well speak”

Treesong has tears going down her face as she holds her arm, she looks at Ekon and back to Alvar and around the camp at all the squirrels who wait on her reply.

Ekon frowns, “It is fine, I am ready to die I am if need be.”

Alvar shrugs and gets ready to slit Ekon’s throat himself as he walks over and lays the cutlass on the old squirrel’s throat and prepares to do the unthinkable.

Treesong screams “Nooo!!!! Please do not I will, I will marry you, yes..yes already, please..let him go..” She sobs and falls to her knees and then curls into a ball on the ground shivering in her sobs.

Ekon closes his eyes and then opens them as he hears Treesong speak and sighs sadly.

Alvar smiles and moves the blade, “Well I shall leave my new bride alone for now, take her away to her tent and guard her.

Treesong lets them led her away, tears going down her face.

Ekon looks at Alvar “I repeat, you bring dishonor to the tribe.”

Alvar smirks as Treesong leaves “I am also a liar, “ He punches the old squirrel hard in the chest a couple times, probably breaking a rib and makes a deep cut on his arm shoving him away “Get him out of my sight, leave him on the path to die for all I care, the old ways return now.”

Ekon gasps and takes a deep breath as a couple ribs do break, the cut hurts and he lands roughly in the mud.

A couple squirrels loyal to Alvar drag him to the path and drop him after making sure he is unconscious and walk back to the tribe.

couple hours later

Ekon is semi-conscious.

A couple squirrels leave him by the river just as it starts to rain, they also make sure he is fully unconscious and go off to find Alvar and find him in the woods.

Ekon is left by the river as it laps close to him, luckily he is not in danger of drowning..yet.

Alvar and a few squirrels loyal to him have made a fake grave, one frowns "What if she doesn't believe you"……" As ill and weak as Ekon is she will believe me, besides I am good at telling lies and he is most likely going to die anyway, he just won’t be buried" He chuckles "He will die where he lies by the river and the rain storm will hopefully wash his body into the river and down the river never to be seen again. You did leave him by the river right?"

The couple squirrels nod and even go to show him.

Ekon lies on river, going in and out of consciousness the past couple hours, he coughs a little and notices the rain, he stands weakly and stumbles into the river on the wet rocks he was laid on and gasps as he is washed a short distance away and grabs an old tree roots, his robe is torn badly as part of it is caught on the low branches and he slips out of it leaving a plain pale gray tunic and short pants, he slowly and weakly makes his way up and around the tree and jumps to land, stumbling forwards and sees the path to Ferravale and Ferravale in the distance so he heads that way..weak and tried and most likely needing a healer.

Alvar and his couple guards go to where Ekon was and he looks around, seeing the bit of robe and then picks up the rest of the torn up robe, he smirks assuming the old squirrel died trying to get back to shore and drowned, he grins "Fish..food..let’s go back to the tribe camp, my bride awaits and a feast to celebrate my leadership" He turns and leaves.

Ekon meanwhile gets to the gates of Ferravale and collapses there as the guards of Ferravale on duty surround him unsure of what to do.
