CHAPTER 12: THE NIGHT
CHAPTER 12: THE NIGHT.
[In the night]
The night came, it was cold, quiet. The night wind blowing the tree and branches and the moon light shoned over thier village. The night wasn't the only thing having its fair share of silence.
The whole village was silent like a graveyard, it was empty with a dull environment. It was empty everywhere,
The moonlight shoned on a tree and on top of the tree was a figure with brown coloured hair, long ears on his head and a tail.
He stood on the tree branch, with a spear in his hand. The figure gaze was fixed on the ground far below him as he watched for intruders.
Rustling was suddenly heard from the bushes below, he turned, shifting his gaze to where the sound came from and saw nothing.
He kept a straight face as he shifted his gaze back to the front. Not long before something else,a strange dark 4 legged creature raced through the bushes ahead. The figure spotted it and immediately turned around about to leave and something unexpected happened.
*THUG*
A loud sound was heard and the trees shook furiously, almost knocking him off balance. The humanoid figure held unto the tree tightly like his life depended on it, basically because it does. He shifted his gaze to the ground seeing 4 large figures with red eyes looking up to him. Immediately the 4 charged at the trees, hitting it with thier heads and it shook once again.
The humanoid figure quickly changed tactics, he let go of the tree. With all he had left, he raised his spear high into the air and with all his might he threw it at a particular direction.
Then one more hit from each if the 4 knocked the tree down to the ground, with him still on it.
*THUMP*
A loud crash sound echoed through the forest as the large tree fell to the ground. In the midst of the dust cloud the humanoid figure struggled, pulling himself up from the ground as he went on his knees. He shifted his gaze from his left and then to his right scanning his area.
So far he noticed nothing as though the impact of the tree chased the wolves back or so he thought. Then a pair of red eyes suddenly shone from behind and Jaws of a large beast opened up behind and bit down on his neck. Before he could scream,
*CRACK*
The sound of this throat and windpipe, crushed by the powerful jaws of the creature.
"Go"
"Go now!!?"
"Kill them all and Don't spare a single soul"
It yelled and instantly, the pack arrived behind being a total of almost 76 raced passed it heading straight for Linurk and the warriors.
************
Linurk and the rest stood at the direct entrance of the village waiting for the signal, their plan is to play defense due to the influence of Arjurd's traps.
But it seemed like Arjurd and Enon had a much standard and elaborate plan of thier own.
Arjurd and Enon his themselves behind a tree as they scrolled through the wooden tablets, confirming thier plans and operation.
The Clan leader stood at the front line, holding 2 spares in his hands and he wore a skull resembling that of a dog or wolf om his head like safety helmet.
A spear came flying down like a crashing rocket until it struck the ground, right before them. The sudden appearance of one of thier weapons surprised them but none of them had the courage to check it. Then Linurk stepped forward towards it, pulling the spear out of the ground with his gaze fixed on it.
"Its Arnold spare" Linurk said with a sad tone in his voice,
"But how?" One of the warriors asked,
Then another,
"So what about the signal"
Then another,
"Who would give the signal?'
"This is the signal" Linurk said.
He stood from the ground and turned to face them,
"The plan was Arnold to spot wolves and regroup here with us and tell us where thier coming from"
"Do you think he charged at them?"
Klenis the oranged haired warrior asked,
"Unlikely" Linurk said walking towards them.
"That sound from earlier must have been from the battle against them"
The clan chief,
"That means thier coming from there" Linurk tool he stance beside the clan chief and pointed his hand at the trees not far from them.
"May the gods bless soul" The clan chief said,
"The plan is still in motion and..........." He paused listening and the clan Chief decided to speak on his behalf.
"We have to..........."
Linurk cuts,
"Their already here"
Linurk said gripping the spare on his hand tightly, he then jumped backwards standing beside the clan chief as they waited.
*SILENCE*
Complete silence reigned in the area. It was quiet to the extent that such silence could be terrifying.
Arjurd and Enon, feeling a type of pressure that they've never felt before. Making thier body tremble in fright and legs go weak as they stood.
"They arent feeling anything" Enon said seeing the rest standing and unshaken.
"What is this?"
Enon asked confused as he held unto the tree for balance.
######
"Alpha"
"We would soon be there"
On of the wolves said bowing its head to the larger wolf Known as Alpha.
"Their numbers has reduced" Alpha said,
"So this should be a simple task" She said,
"Do not disappoint me"
Alpha said to the wolf before her and it shivered in fright her her words. Then Alpha turned around and Vanished into the shadows.
