Beating Alvar and..wait What?!..Gawtrybe leader?!( Part Marek's Revenge TP)

Note: takes place at the same time as this log

This started near the river and ended in the Gawtrybe Camp

Anomen walks along the forest path, sword at his side as he does so as he keeps alert and looks back and forth carefully.

Alvar has been watching Anomen from the treetops, following him silently. With him are a couple tall squirrels with longbows as he nods for them to stay close as he goes to slowly make his way down to the forest floor. Making sure to stay off to the side of Anomen.

Anomen tilts his head and lays a paw on his sword as he thought he heard a noise and frowns as he dislikes the quiet of the woods right now.

Alvar pose slips a little further away of Anomen and then jumps down so he blocks a path, "Well well..And what brings you along my part of the woods?"

Anomen turns and glares at Alvar," I am looking for you. I challenge you to a fight and I know the rules too..you can’t have any help, nor can I, this is between me and you only Alvar and you can’t refuse a challenge either."

Alvar smirks, "You are right, then again I don’t need help. you will lose and I will win."

Anomen draws his sword, “Then I lose but you could equally lose as well..so do we begin or not?”

Alvar narrows his eyes, he lays his longbow and arrows down as he gets his ax, it’s clear he rather not use it but seems he has no choice, “We start now…my weapon is ax as seems we do this rather than long distance, it matters not to me”

Anomen nods “Mine is my sword” He gets into a fighting stance and looks ready to defend himself.

Alvar grins and swings the stone ax he has at the other squirrel, he is aiming to make a good slice cut.

Anomen sidesteps and slices with his own blade in a slight downwards arch and does his best to keep out of reach of the Alvar “You will pay if you have harmed Treesong”

Alvar chuckles “I will? She is my mate now, so sorry that upsets you” He gets a cut on his wrist as he blocks the sword and then goes to jab his shoulder into Anomen's chest!

Anomen stumbles backwards a little as the elbow gets him in the chest and coughs, he kicks at Alvar fairly hard and quickly gets into a defense stance.

Alvar grunts as he is kicked in the gut area and swings his ax at Anomen’s neck!

Anomen gasps and just barely manages to step back in time, the ax does make a cut form on his cheek as he wipes off blood and frowns, he glares at Alvar and angles his blade and slices at the squirrel faking a left and then suddenly changes right.

Alvar gets a deep cut to his shoulder and a little on his side and holds his should as blood pours down it, he suddenly goes to try and climb the nearest tree, slipping once but then manages to climb higher ”How about a fight up here or afraid ya will lose!”

Anomen answers as he gives chase “I fear no one Alvar, and your injured!” He climbs after Alvar and keeps very alert as he does so.

Alvar smirks and slips out a couple daggers, he flicks one towards Anomen!

Anomen tenses up as a dagger hits him in the arm and he about falls, he grabs a branch and slowly gets back up as he is under Alvar and swings his blade at him trying to knock him down to where he is.

Alvar gets his footpaw cut badly and it causes him some trouble climbing, but he manages just barely to get higher and glares at Anomen, he goes to balance on the high branch and flick the 2nd dagger as he stands barely balancing, about the same time the branch breaks and he falls towards the ground with a loud yelp

Anomen ducks the dagger as its aim was bad and frowns as he looks down towards Alvar and climbs down to check on him.

Alvar groans weakly and has broken his neck, he looks at Anomen and then his eyes close in death.

Anomen takes Alvar's pulse in a couple places and steps back, he then remembers the shell and slips it from Alvar's neck and looks down at him, he mutters prayer and hurries towards the Gawtrybe camp as he got directions from Ekon.

--An hour later---

Treesong frowns, she starts to run but stops as she looks at the tribe, "No stop fighting!..Do not fight!" She looks near tears as she knows they won’t listen to her, some do look her direction, some not fighting only frown.

Anomen walks into camp, he almost stumbles as he frowns at the chaos in the camp and holds his arm, he walks slowly..endangering himself maybe in the process as he holds up a certain rainbow shell "Stop the fighting! It ends now I ..I order it to" He pants as he is tried and drops to his knees.

Althea eyes go large as she sees the rainbow shell in Anomen's paws, "What ?..But..does that mean Alvar is..is dead?"

Most of the camp look at Anomen, weapons are dropped and a couple shocked gasps are heard, a couple others stop what they are doing and seem to wait on what will happen next, only one squirrel seems against this and pulls out a dagger to sneak behind the worn out Anomen.

Treesong frowns, she sees the one squirrel behind Anomen" Anomen behind you!"

Blood trickling into his eyes, John slumps forward, a squirrel holding a wooden club standing over him. The Gawtrybe squirrel looks over at th- New leader?! then drops the club, scrambling away. The beasts around the Squirrel and otter back away, The armored squirrel swinging the ball and chain slightly. The two bow-beasts step out, and walk towards John, their bows at the ready. The vixen looks upset about- She smiles, and lets lose her arrow at the murderous squirrel behind the other tree-rat. Rutsnout looks at Anomen, then says to the two beasts near him. "I think it okay now...Er, that's tha beast we're helpin'!" John sits heavily on the ground, blinking. He looks at Anomen, then lets out a weak laugh. "Ye came jus'..." His head hits the ground as he passes out.

Anomen spins around just in time to see his would be killer fall over dead, geee that would of been the shortest leader ship in history, he frowns and looks very tried himself and looks at all the beasts staring at him and leans against a tree when he fails to stand up well right now.

Zinnia looks worried as she looks at Anomen and walks a little closer, "W..Where is that one squirrel..Alvar?"

Althea goes to check on Anomen, she is a healer after all.

The squirrels mutter to one another and watch Anomen as if waiting to be told what to do, a small pawful of squirrel who were much loyal to Alvar is dead, luckily not many were loyal to Alvar as most didn’t fight or was uncertain whether to or not.

Treesong rushes forwards till she is in front of Anomen, she is clearly worried about him, another squirrel checks on John and tends to his wounds.

Anomen takes a couple deep breaths, he has a wound on his left wrist, a cut on his right check and a wound to his side, lucky for him it’s not deep. He smiles at Treesong, "Alvar is dead." He is still worn out and that’s very clear.

John, after a bit, opens his eyes. He sits up, much to the panic of the squirrel tending to him, and says, "Ah told ye Alvar was losin'!" And promptly passes out again. Rutsnout rushes over to John. "Is tha boss dead??!" The armored squirrel looks at him. "I think not."

Althea stays calm and finishes tending to Anomen, she looks at John and finishes what’s needed with John as she speaks "He will need to rest, stay here maybe couple days"

Zinnia looks around the camp and slowly sits down, "Well..what now?"

Treesong gently hugs Anomen, she just stays quiet and hugs him carefully.

Anomen hugs Treesong and looks around, "Ummm..." He then remembers he has the rainbow shell, "Oh..yeah this..well what happens now is the tribe helps fight Marek.."

Zinnia smiles "Sounds like a good plan to me"

John opens his eyes again, this time groaning. "Ugh...Me head..." Rutsnout almost jumps with glee, 'till Redtail slaps him. "We're professionals, ya can't go jumpin' up an' down like that! Bad from, y'know!" The two bow beasts, who are both foxes, shoulder their weapons. The Vixen sighs.

Anomen looks at the rainbow shell in his paw and for now slips it on his neck, he blinks as he is surrounded by tribe beasts, not to attack but to listen to him, he has a clan beast take Treesong to a tent and stands slowly, "I..ummm..this is temporary, me as leader. Ekon is true leader not I. Ok like said we need help ta fight Marek and to free beasts, some tribe beasts are inside." A voice says "Yes 6 or 7" Another speaks " yEAH we will listen to...errr..." The squirrel nods "Anomen, my name is Anomen.."
