About a half a week later, invisible claws pinned Skull against a tree, and Magic stepped out with Thief at his side.
"What's the cure for Dreamshade?! You stupid, cowardly pirate!" claws raked across Skull's cheek, and he winced, grinning. Dawn light shone down on the three cats, and Magic had him pinned against a tree, with Thief's fur bristling. "What's with the venom in your voice, mate?" The black cat taunted, wincing again when claws hit his ear. "Can't the Crocodiles make you a cure? Because you know I won't help you."
Thief trembled with rage, and then snapped back, "He needs a Dreamshade berry. Only that, supposedly, you know where they are." The pirate grinned, a thin stream of blood trickling down his face. "You got that right mate. But the point of me poisoning you, is so I don't have to cure you."
Magic spoke up quietly, "I can, dig out, the location. But, as Rumplstilskin says, it can get really messy." That tampered the pirate a little bit. He narrowed his eyes, and then replied, "I'm guessing you won't be fooled with a lie. If you don't mind letting me down, I can show you where they are." Magic released Skull down, and the black cat straightened up, his muscles sleek in the thorns. He tore off a piece of bark from a nearby tree, and he dipped his claws in poison, writing and drawing. Then, he threw it down at the other leader's feet. "You can figure it out."
Magic and Thief looked at each other. "I'll tell my warriors not to rip you apart when you're in our borders. But only for now." The deep black cat stalked away, leaving the two leaders staring at the bark, navigating.
