"Well that's comforting," muttered Rivertinn under his breath in regard to Zephyr's comment about the serpent.
"Want some food?"
"No," he said simply. He had remained silent until well into the night, which was strange for the squirrel. Then, his ears perked up suddenly, as distant screams rent the stillness of night a good distance away. The sound was faint, but nonetheless alarmingly eerie.
"What is that?" he said, rather than asked. He started for the exit of the cave as he spoke. "Somebeast isn't having its best day..." Had he not intended to wait for Zephyr's response, he would have surely been running through the wood toward the disconcerting noises. Ironic, wasn't it, that the sounds that should normally repel any sane beast was now attracting Rivertinn's attention, creating the exactly opposite impulse?

Two words escaped Zephyr's mouth as the screams rent the air. "The serpent." He whipped his head sideways and stared at the entrance. "Blades will not harm it." He said again. "it has a shell like a shield. Only the sharpest spears or arrows will barely pierce it. Mine aren't strong enough." He stood up, grabbed a branch, and ignited the end of it. "Follow me." The fox whispered as he jogged out of the cave. His stride changed from a jog to a sprint as more screams rent the air. "Move quietly. Stay away from the shadow. Stay in light."
Zephyr sprinted into the ring and, not seeing the shadow yet, stared at the vermin, who all pointed at the shadow. Zephyr turned, and his spine went cold as he saw the 'serpent'.
"Scorpion"
He heard from Lentle. He turned sharply, "Dont make a sound, or you'll kill us all. Dont you know they are attracted to sound? Like all crazed predators?" He snapped.
He then turned back sharply and stared at the scorpion. He stepped forward, ignoring the vermin's warnings. Then, he stared straight into the beast's eyes. They were black. Zephyr went rigid to the spot, not from fear, but he was perplexed at this beast, and he stood there, rooted to the spot, taking in everything around him, especially the scorpion.
The sky was black. Perfect. Just what everybeast here needed. Darkness. Like some crazed predator wasnt enough.
The fox then moved in a blur. He threw the torch at the scorpion, and quickly ran and grabbed one from another ferret from his brothers old band. "Everyone. Get fire. It is afraid of it!" He called.
He then walked forward waving his torch. Then... An idea struck him.
He pulled out his bow and one arrow, and ignited the tip of the arrow. He dropped the torch and aimed the arrow at Vajjan's head. "Nothing of your mass can dodge this." He said lowly, then fired.

ooc: From your last post rocky you mentioned Zephr as 'grabbing a torch from a ferret from his brothers old band' which band did his brother belong to? Lentles or the other group?

OOC: Other group. By "His brothers old band", I meant Zephyr's brother's old band, because the fox Zephyr was chasing was actually his brother.
Sorry, man. Should've made that clearer. *hides in a corner*

Vajjan shrieked in pure terror as the flaming arrow struck him. It had peirced one of his four eyes and severly damged it. He quickly plucked the arrow out of his eye, with his tight claw, but the damage had been done. He was now blind in one eye and in excruitating pain. So much pain....with agonising efforts he attempted to shuffle out of the clearing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lentle saw how the fox had thus disabled the scorpion. Fire wasnt' it? Now the creature was trying to escape in an ungraceful exit. It could kill again....unless....That was it!
Lentle now knew that this was the rarest opportunity a gang leader could ever come up with.
The corners of Lentle's eyes suddenly started to tinge with red. He pointed to Weghul and the captured fox and commanded their bonds be taken off. Leaving them to their own devices, Lentle took the halters and gave them to two of his best followers and instructed them what to do. "You fools had better not rush in until I give the signal." Upon saying thus, he grabbed a third rope halter and a torch.
"Come surround it!" He yelled.(Everybeast had a torch now because of Zephers warning). Lentle ran out of the bushes and charged the monster. The beast feigned a swipe with a claw to try to deter him, but in his present state, Lentle was oblivious to everything but the goal. "Cover it on all sides! If it tries to move, back with your torch!"
The monster was now trapped. Lentle gave the signal."Now!". Accordingly the two stoats jumped out of the circle and looped their halters over the stunned scorpion's claws. They then tied the loopes tight to restrain the claws.
Lentle than ran to the back, and with his eyes blood shot, looped the third halter over the twin tails of the scorpion and pullid it tight as well. Vajjan had been caught!
"Keep it surrounded with fire at all times. The shifts on the ropes will be changed every 2 hours." Lentle commanded.
It was an exhausting endeavor, but what vermin leader could say they had the like in the world? At least that's what Lentle thought....Until he heard the sounds in the trees. It sounded like the foosteps of regular beasts, but this sound was akin to thunder.
(done)

Ooc:So basically what happened here is Lentle has captured Vajjan and plans to use him. The noise is of wolf's army (Im trying to tie in the Hunt with the main plot). Weghul and Zephers bro are now freed. Weghul Is kinda awake, and zephyers bro is uncouncious.
I didnt do anything to zephyr I think...
