Far from the Valley

by Jet556

Somewhere on third earth lies a colossal tomb. When the ThunderCats come across it, they get the help of some friends of theirs to explore it in hope that the fourth stone might be there. Whose tomb is this? When was it built? And who are these three white Evabon?

11. Chapter 11

Welcome back everyone. Originally, Crinan was not supposed to appear in this story at all. I ultimately decided to include him. Enjoy and review.

Enter Crinan

Past his prime and still strong, Crinan the male komrev stepped into the underground canyon. He caught the scent of Cat, Evabon and Nomis all of which he hated!

He also caught the scent of his mate, Gruadh. So they had captured his mate had they? Well then, he would feel their vertebra between his great foaming jaws if there were males! If there were females then he would rip great pieces from their sides and then crush their skulls into jelly! They were his enemies! All that were not of his tribe were his enemies!

For sixty-five years, he had been tormented! Evabon, Cat, Nomis, Lizard, Rat, Bird, Dog, Monkey, exiled Elephants, exiled Berbils, Tigersharks, Fishmen, exiled Petalars, Giantors every thing like that sought to have him caged or stuffed and mounted!

What was Crinan's solution? The only solution there was! Kill them! With his fangs, his strong arms, an uprooted tree of a stalagmite! He would kill!

There was one individual that Crinan feared however: Balor that grey Evabon boy. Always, Gruadh protected him! Why? Why did his mate act so motherly towards that child of another race?

If not for the female's careful watch, Crinan would have killed the boy with relative ease!

That time when Balor had been both alive and dead there would have been no fun in killing this enemy! But nevermore had Crinan seen Balor in that state. There would be fun in killing him with him fully conscious!

He'd lay Balor's ribs bare and then break them! Then he'd sever one of Balor's arms! Then Crinan would rip out Balor's jugular vein and that would be the finishing blow! The one that Crinan feared would be dead and haunt him no longer!

The Bull Komrev had a right to fear the Evabon boy. Balor would be the death of Gruadh.

In four years time, one of the deceased Ogidnew's people would kill Gruadh. Without the motherly Gruadh to protect him, Crinan would try to kill Balor and thus Balor would kill Crinan to defend others.

Crinan believed that Balor would be the death of him and he was correct. One of the scents of Evabon he noticed most of all was Balor's and he would be the killer, not the killed.
