They both got down, but they weren't the only ones there. There were other animals on the ground. Or at least they thought they were animals…
"Master, destroyer willows!"
Plasmaglowsticks were slashing through willows. Pieces of willow went flying- it was a miniature battle. As they were crawling through the storm fighting, they came to the iceberg on which President Ponderosa and the Larches were. But, they weren't the only ones on there. There was a Weasel Lord on there. Spruce Count was on there.
An excellent pilot who doesn't like to fly. An unbelievable fighter who doesn't like to fight. A queer Gorilla Master whom rather be calm in a room and meditate.
This animal is Gorilla Master Tamarack Subalpine. A fox with a depressing history. He might be a great General in the Larch Wars, but he is still a fox.
Before he became Banyan's master, he was an apprentice to Master Douglas. Being with Master Douglas gave him many adventures, One thing changed his life forever.
While protecting King Oak, the King of Georgia, a tragedy happened. While fighting Black Birch, Master Douglas died. This death took a tragic hit on Tamarack. It took such a hard hit on him, that it changed his life forever. His last words were:
Note: The following is a dialogue with Master Douglas and Tamarack Subalpine.
Master!
Too late, my young Apprentice.
No!
Now you have to be ready, even if the Council doesn't think so. You MUST be the teacher. Tamarack. Swear to me you will train the kit.
Yes Master.
He is the Expected Creature, Tamarack. He will bring balance to the Fork. Teach him well.
(HE DIES)
Master. Stay with me. Master? Master.
So technically speaking, Tamarack Subalpine did NOT choose Banyan Foxtail to be his apprentice. But it was the will of the Fork. But there is one thing that keeps him going.
Tamarack Subalpine sees so much of Master Douglas in Banyan. Because of Banyan, he has loosened up a little. If he hadn't become his master, he wouldn't be alive right now.
"Oh, thank you for coming! Would you like to play Bingo?" said the President.
"Sorry to say, President, but you are in great danger here. Spruce Count is on here." Banyan said.
"Oh, well, I guess my dogs and I are going to walk over here while you find him…"
" President! Don't, it's a trap!" but it was too late. He and all the Larches were trapped in a cage.
