Erin Hunter is my hero of reading. I have read some of his books, but haven't got the chance to read all series. He made the book Warriors. And I also love the game Skyrim; it's a medieval game where you fight the unusual. (Beasts; enemies; ghosts; etc.) So yeah, thought I'd make this story.
This story takes place in the medieval days. My idea if they were in that time of year.
It was a cold winter night, the world has not begun to make technology nor have such junk food. In the middle of the forest lay a large clearing, tents of animal fur dot the area and camp fires have been blown out Small buildings made out of tree bark are made around the perimeter of the camp. An owl hooted as crickets chirp along the way. The round full moon glowed in the sky; stars glittered lightly as the night passed.
Outside the camp in the entrance sat three figures guarding the camp. Fire flickered in the middle of their circle, keeping them warm and shone light.
"I don't understand, why ya have to read the book now Doc? You can learn the spell in just one hour in the day time for Pete's Sake!" the fish-ape, known as Link said to the bug man next to him holding a book up to his eyes. Link's sword, longer than his arm was placed in a worn belt around his waist, red rusty armor covered his chest as a shield laid next to him.
"I know that Link, but you could never know when another attack will happen," Dr. Cockroach replied not looking up from his purple book. His lab coat and pants were all black as a small blue glow lit as he read on.
"Yeah Link," the white haired archer said as she walked up to them, "Remember last time?" she put a hand to her hip. A brown belt wrapped around her waist keeping the short green skirt from falling off. A bag of arrows and a long bow was strapped on behind her back; a leaf green v-shirt curved with her slim body letting nature hide her appearance as well as moose hide shoes was a gift of her own.
"I remember Susan!" a blue blob laughed with a sledge hammer as big as him placed at his side, "Link's tail was almost cut off by a troll!" he laughed.
"Shut it Bob!" Link said irritated.
"Well here," Susan said taking a dead rabbit by its ears and dropping it at the doctors side, "You've read that book a hundred times already, you should know how to do it by now," she said a little harshly.
"Thanks for your help, but I don't take advise from an archer if you must know," he replied bitterly looking up from his book.
"Oh, so now you're saying an archer doesn't have the same intelligence as a wizard?" she said aggravated.
"Well at least a wizard stands up and fight, unlike an archer who hides up in the trees and "protects" the people of her clan," he said when he stood up.
"Is that weakness I smell from you…or is it just the urge to go and scurry around in the garbage at eat like the roach you are?" she raised her voice coming a bit closer.
"Maybe I should go do that, instead of watching your horrible skills at killing,"he said also coming closer.
"It's a better way of death instead of being accidently burned to death. You practically heal the enemies!"
"You try and control these powers with your own hands! I'd like to see you do something in life!"
Their voices were already in their highest level, Bob and Link tried to calm them as they sat but their voices were drowned out by their yelling.
"I bet you don't even have the gut to kill someone up close with that dagger of yours," Dr. C hissed.
"Oh is that a threat I hear?" she fold her arms.
"I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't would you like to know?" he said putting his arms to his side, revealing a fire ball in one hand and purple sparks in the other.
"Bring it on! You'll be trembling below me before you even know it," she growled taking her bow and arrow and aiming at him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Link said getting up and blocking their way pushing them back, "No need for a fight, we don't want to wake up Commander Monger now do we?" he asked looking at them both.
"No," they muttered still glaring at each other. Dr. C let his flames and sparks die out and Susan lowered her bow and placed them back up.
"Good, now sit down and we'll make some food with the rabbit, okay?" he said. They sat where they were; Link took the rabbit and began to skin it. Even though all was silent, tension still roamed the air.
It was morning and they had already fallen asleep by then, the fire log was black with soot and sun was beginning to rise, giving the sky an orange and pink color.
Link slept with his back to his friends while Bob snored loudly to the branches of the trees. Susan was cuddled up with Dr. C, his arm wrapped around her waist as they both breathed softly.
Dr. C stirred in his spot and looked down to find Susan, her arms wrapped around him. He, by surprise got out of her hug and stood up. He shudders the touch of her away and felt a little disgusted that he slept with her that way. The doctor walked into the woods in search of food for his camp.
Susan was left alone in that spot, she shivered wrapping her arms around her. The cold morning air swallowed her whole. Link turns around and sees her in misery, his hard feelings he had always felt loosen up. He scoots over and wraps his arms around her body. She stops shaking and slowly goes back to sleep with a small smile.
Dr. Cockroach stops in his tracks, his senses were on high alert. A small shadow ran across his sight then it disappeared. He takes out a silver ax with a glow on the handle from his smooth brown belt; he raised his other hand giving off a small, cold, blue fog.
"Come on…" he muttered looking around. A howl made him snap up from his path.
He turns around; his eyes go wide when a muscular wolf with sharp teeth stands at the edge of a bolder. Growling, the wolf jumps and runs over and bares his teeth drooling rapidly.
Dr. Cockroach puts his arm up, sending frost of ice into his way. The wolf burst through the ice wall and opens his jaws wide. Dr. C raises his ax high and swipes down cutting off the wolf's head. His breathing was at panting pace by the time the fight was done; he puts away his ax and takes the wolf back to camp without the head.
"Where were you?" Susan asked heatedly. Dr. Cockroach entered the camp at full daytime and Susan was there waiting for him at the entrance.
"Went out," he said, not stopping to look at her.
"You could have at least told me!" she caught up with him as he went to the wagon full of animals for skinning.
"What would you care?" he said putting up the wolf into the pile still not meeting her gaze.
"It's not what I care it's what we care."
He chuckled, "You're such an awful liar," he walks away into his tent.
Susan stands next to the wagon while people pass her doing their daily duties.
Link walks up to her, "He's just in a grouchy mood cuz he woke up on the side of the wrong log," he joked.
Susan sighed and she softens up, "No, it's because of that fight last night wasn't it?" she looked up to him, surprised to find comfort within his presence.
"Yep," Link said.
Susan gave him an irritated look.
He burst out laughing, "I'm sorry. You guys really need to sort out your problems you know."
"I know," she breathed, rolling her eyes.
A large dragon with pink antennas and colorful wings flies into the clearing. Her bright red scales glisten in the sunlight from the moisture given over the night.
It screeches to Link, "Insecto!" he said throwing his hands up and running over to him, "How are ya?" he said petting the side of the dragon's cheek.
A loud cry of a man was heard at the entrance of the camp, "Commander! Commander! The G.D.S were sighted near the territory lines!" a scrawny armored man came running into one of the buildings made with wood.
A short man with green clothe came out from that building, a few badges of completed missions were placed on his shirt.
"Get the fort armed and keep safe all our equipment and children. Make sure our warriors are prepared for any attack and guard the area," Commander Monger ordered the man.
"Yes sir," the man runs off and people that overheard also went inside.
"Uh-oh," Link muttered, "Come on Susan; let's get ready for another battle."
Yay! So, go ahead tell me what you think! :)
