The old Veteran was surprised. "Wow. Most clumsy wolf I had ever seen. Knocked himself out. Good work kid." The younger cat looked at him "But I didn't even kill him. If he had not tripped. He would have killed us!” The older cat smiled “You really think he would fight effectively with a two-pawed sword with an arrow stuck in one of his shoulders? Nope. Not with one paw he would not. Strong as he might be. The only thing that counts is that you hit him. Now! Lets take him back to camp. He might be a spy.” The two cats later drug him to the camp and had him tied to a big tree by a thick steel chain with a iron collar and a few guards to make sure he would not try to pick the lock..

Yoatl thought about it. Red walls? It sure indeed sounds like it should be avoided. It sounded like a horrible place of death. And the King of the Island is of his kind? A white one? Either it was an albino beast….. Or an Arctic Fox. Indeed. It was only Spring, most of his berserker Arctic Fox Warriors had not even full shed off their winter coat yet. As for these “Lethal Ones” They must be very experienced archers. What else could they be? Yoatl had to ask one question. “What did they look like? What are they? These Lethal Ones?”

Moonlight stirred. The fact that he was chained to a tree brought him to full wakefullness. Even with his wounded shoulder, he struggled mightily against his bonds, thrashing wildly while using one claw to carefully try to pick the lock. He started yelling. "What are you doing to me! You have no right to stop a traveler going through the woods!"

"It was difficult to tell, my Lord. The Lethal Ones had pointed ears and long tails... there are only a few animals like that: Squirrels, foxes, or some kind of feline." The old fox twitched suddenly, then cast a glance out of the tent flap. "I would say the latter was closer, Lord. My senses do not fail me. The White One is very close now..."

Moonlight's struggles were paying off. He was already halfway to shedding the chains that bound him to the tree. Still yelling at his guards, he finally picked the lock. Dropping onto the floor, Moonlight kicked the feet out from under a Bowcat. Taking the knife out of the beast's belt he held it in front of him. "Now give me my weapons and I'll be on my way." he growled at his guards.

Yoatl’s eyes widened. “Close? Than we must look for him now! If it earns us a better living! This chance will not be missed!” The golden fox bolted out of the tent and immediately gave orders to some of his beasts. Scouts where sent out to find the “White One.” Yoatl was more than willing to find and have a talk and agreement with this fox. If things go as he plans. It might work for the better for his own tribe.
The Bowcat was not scared. He was retaliating with his fangs and claws! Bites and slashing at the wolf as he attempted to escape his grasp. The other cat had already notched an arrow on his bow. Other cats were notching and were running to the scene. Including the old Veteran and the Young Recruit. If the wolf stayed here. He would end up full of arrows and dead!

Shaking his head, Moonlight growled, "I didn't want to have to do this..." dealing the Bowcat a heavy blow to its temple, he ripped the bow and arrows off of him and started sending shafts zipping in all directions, no real chance of hitting anything, but causing everybeast to keep their heads down.
((Where are his weapons anyway?))

If the cat was dead or knocked out was unknown to the other cats for now. They were mainly concentrating on catching who they suspect was a spy. The old Veteran cat was smart. He knew this wolf was shooting and praying. Though he lowered himself slightly. He did not jump for cover like some of the younger cats did and pulled the bowstring and took careful aim and fired. When the younger cat that had been with him saw this. He also attempted to hit the Wolf A second time with an arrow.

((...))
Moonlight took another hit, this time in his elbow. Dropping the bow, he ran into the woods, dodging arrows and diving. Ducking and weaving, he was almost out of arrow range when another arrow hit his footpaw. He gasped and continued going through the woods, but at a much slower rate than before.

Standing up fully with a wheezy groan, Rithuan followed his master out of the tent. He beckoned several rats, weasels and foxes, together with a solitary ermine, to get scouting. Two rats and a grey fox followed him as he strode off towards where Yoatl had gone. "Master, listen! There is one part you have not heard: He who follows the Moon walks with Red Walls, and he must be let to live!" The old seer hoped Yoatl had heard and could figure out the last message, for he was too sore and slow to keep up with the golden fox's swift pace.

The older cat smiled as he pulled the bow string back. Ready to finish the wolf off with a well-placed shot. Unlike English Long Bows. Mongol Bows had a far more longer reach. Though it looked like he was too far away to hit. This bow could and will send an arrow that will reach him before he REALLY DOES get out of bow range.
Hans had heard the ruckus and ran out of his tent. Seeing the fleeing wolf. He quickly gave his order. “Let him go. Wolves are no threat.” But the two bow cat guard could not help but protest. “But he might have allies. He might be a spy!” Hans shook his head. “He is a wolf. The only thing her might have is a small family and nothing else. No Woodland Beast in their right mind would be his friend. So we have nothing to worry about. Even if he did have a large group of friends. They do not know where we live. We’d be long gone by the time he comes back…” That tents were already starting to be taken down as cats knew he wanted to leave now.
Yoatl had heard the seer as he shot into the woods. Only one beast follows the Moon. A wolf. Red Walls are pretty much “Dooms Day” for his tribe if this beast is killed more likely. So now he must do two thing at once. Find this White Fox and Make sure this wolf is alive and safe.

The ancient seer hitched up his robes and ducked into the woodlands after his master. The rats and the grey fox followed him obediantly. Rithuan was not inexperienced to tracking and searching in woodland. Turning to the tribebeasts he gave them swift decisive orders: "Spread out three spear lengths apart. Go in straight lines through the bushes. Give a woodpigeon call then an owl hoot if you see any cats or foxes." The three Juskarang members looked at each other, confused, but jumped to it anyways. Rithuan fell in beside them. They must've scouted at least 200 yards before a woodpigeon call sounded, followed by the hoot of what sounded like a large owl. Every one of the searchers froze and waited. Rithuan peeked over some rosebay willowherb to see what was there...

Laying there on the forest floor lay Moonlight, pierced with several arrows. He looked up and saw the Seer. "Vermin....." and he lapsed into unconsiousness from the pain and blood loss he had sustained from the Bow Cat fire.
