chapter 10
The Thundercats were in the forest of Magi Oar. Everyone was setting up camp. "Sword of omens give me sight beyond sight!" Lion-o said and it wasn't working.
"Anything?" Tygra asked.
"No and I don't understand why the elephants sent us here," Lion-o said.
"You're not seeing forest for the trees Lion-o coming here might help us realize it." Cheetara said.
"Yeah you don't have to be a cleric to feel the forest's magic." Tygra said.
"I also sense a cheerless and gloomy presence almost like the forest is inhabited by..." Cheetara said.
"Ghosts?" Wilykat said.
"Spirits." Cheetara said.
"Spirits, ghosts whatever you call them they give me the willies!" Panthro said.
The kittens were acting like ghosts and frightening Snarf.
"You three go get fire wood." Panthro said.
"Why?" Wilykat asked.
"Because you're younger than me, smaller than me and not good for much else!" Panthro said.
"Fine we're going." Wilykit said.
"Come on Snarf let's go," Wilykat said.
"Stay close Snarf." Wilykit said. Then the kittens walked off. Snarf was on his own.
A twig snapped Snarf jumped when another one snapped he started running. He made to a big tree and caught his breath.
"BOO!" the kittens said.
Snarf jumped and cried out ran around in circles. "What a scaredy Snarf!" Wilykit said and the kittens were laugh then Snarf started laughing too. The kittens grabbed the fire wood then headed back.
It was dark out and everyone else was asleep except for Lion-o, and Tygra.
Panthro was snoring loudly. "He sounds like the Thundertank." Tygra said.
"Father use to snore just like that remember?" Lion-o asked.
"How can I forget it's the one thing you inherited from him," Tygra said.
"You don't think I can do this do you?" Lion-o asked.
"The sword chose you, so you should believe I know she does," Tygra said gesturing to Hannah and Cheetara.
Lion-o put more wood on the fire and spirits came from the wood. The spirits were attacking an the sword wasn't working.
Then three people came up and rescued them by using magical paper. "We are the wood forgers and we protect the forest. My name is Zigg and this are my students." Zigg said.
Zigg showed them his school and the mill. "It takes the trees and turns them into paper." Zigg said.
"Can the forest with stand such loss?" Cheetara asked.
"Sometimes there must be suffering for the greater good." Zigg said.
Hannah knew a forest could handle such loss she knew if new trees were not planted the forest would be gone before they knew it.
Zigg told them of Viragor the giant bird. Then Viragor attack the school Lion-o and Hannah got carried off.
"Oops, Lion-o dropped my boomerang and broke on some rocks." Hannah said.
"We have other stuff to worry about Hannah," Lion-o said.
"You two are getting heavy can I drop you off here?" Viragor asked.
"You won't do that because you are not evil Viragor." Lion-o said.
"Have you not been listening?" Viragor asked.
"The sword would work on you or the spirits it can't be use against a force of good." Lion-o said.
"Willing to risk you two's lives for it?" Viragor asked.
"Yes," Lion-o said.
Viragor explained how he protected the forest and what wood forgers were doing.
"I know how you feel people to forest in the dimension were I grow up including the rain-forests they are the largest forests around they have been called the lungs of the world and people believe since they are so full of trees they can take as much as they like but the trees don't enough time to regrow. There very few people who plant new trees after they cut one down." Hannah said.
"You understand and I'm sorry the bumpy flight made you lose your boomerang." Viragor said.
"That's okay I'm just glad no one got hurt." Hannah said.
Lion-o, and Hannah headed back with Viragor.
"Viragor is the protector of the forest." Lion-o said.
"He did break my staff," Cheetara said.
"Sorry about that," Viragor said.
The wood forgers fought against the Thundercats.
Lion-o defeated Zigg.
"You are no longer head master of this school I am." Viragor said and Zigg ran off.
"I can't thank you enough Thundercats," Viragor said. "Here a gift for Cheetara and Hannah," he said. There was a staff and a boomerang. "They are carved from oldest tree in the forest they are full of great magic." he said.
Cheetara and Liosia took there gifts.
"I accept it with great humility." Cheetara said.
"I humbly accept your gift and will try to use it wisely." Hannah said.
Lion-o used Sight beyond sight.
"Let's go get that stone." Lion-o said.
