36
The next morning was seen as normal. Everyone tended to a duty that was the way of the Bear Clan. Ra was with every general of each clan speaking about how they will stage an attack on the Stone clan. They needed to act fast if they are going to do a surprise attack.
I was taking care of anyone in need, talking to anyone who needed me to listen. I did whatever I could to help. Little Tree resumed his training and was growing quite well and quickly.
As the sun came high into the sky hours later, I found it very hot on the territory of the clan, so I moved off with Isis into the forest, and we found an oval shaped lake where the water was cool and fresh. I was not needed for a few hours so I thought I would sneak away.
I removed my robes and let my marked body be bare to the earth around me. I then dived deep into the water and then came up with a smile. The water was perfect. I turned and looked at Isis.
"Isis come." I replied. She merely huffed, her nostrils flexing. I splashed in her direction. "You big baby." I continued to swim around in the water enjoying its coolness. I then heard a rustling in the bushes before me, and Isis hissed and got up immediately chasing after a sharp tusked boar came charging in my direction. She chased it off and vanished herself.
"ISIS!" I called after her, but she didn't return. She probably wanted to devour it. I chuckled softly and soon heard a hiss coming from atop of the branch of the tree behind me. I stopped and turned to face the tree knowing clear well who it could be.
"There is no point in hiding." I said with annoyance. It was a yautja clearly. But was it an enemy. The yautja uncloaked itself only to reveal Elder Chucka. I scoffed now. "What a pleasant surprise."
The elder cackled and suddenly dived into the water. A few waves moved over me, and immediately I was tensed. I dipped my body more into the water and frowned some as he stuck his head out from under the water.
"Should you not be with the other leaders talking about war?" I asked. He looked up at the sun and dipped his head back into the water shaking them some.
"This is my lake, I always come here at this point of the day and go for a little swim. I go wherever I wish on my land." he told slowly letting his eyes come over me. I sneered.
"Once again you overstep a boundary and I wonder why this is." I told. He shrilled sharply and began to swim towards me. My eyes widened and on instinct I turned and tried to swim away, but he was fast. He grabbed my ankles and I struggled against him, but he let me go.
"I like overstepping my boundaries." he admitted. I frowned.
"With your ally's priestess who is mated clearly? You are looking for trouble." I said still swimming to keep distance between us. He gave a careless shrug.
"You have what not many yautja female have." he said. I lifted my head some.
"Oh yeah? What is that?" I asked. He lifted his hand from the water and curled his fingers into a fist before me.
"Resistance. Our women are only dominant in the time of mating, but you…you can be dominant when you want and resist when you truly wish to." he said stalking towards me now. I tensed now feeling as if Isis could truly be a big help right now.
Normal POV
The yautja elders broke off to be with their families for a moment but after that time ran out, they all met back in a small hut that only had enough space for generals and clan leaders. Ra, fully armored was looking over a hologram that was on a square block. It showed all f yautja prime and its land and inhabitants. His eyes roamed everywhere looking for places to stage a surprise attack on Hades for soon if they did not strike, the enemy would strike them.
Ze'Kala pointed to a rocky pathway.
"If we could fight the warriors here, at the entrance into their lands, we would have better space to move and strike." he told. The Stone clan was surrounded by rock and mountain where Ra and his allies were more stationed in the forest and coldest of lands. Soon the cold would be upon them. As he nodded, Ra noticed not all of the generals were where.
"Where is Elder Chucka?" he asked clicking on the pathway so it would enhance. Now it was very still in the hut. Ra looked at the Bear generals who did not speak for a moment. Ze'Kala knowing full well where the elder was lifting his head, trilling some.
"He has gone on his evening swim at the lake," he replied. Ra gave a low trill, not impressed by the elder's recklessness to not return upon the time agreed. Now it seemed the air was tense in the room and Ra noticed, but would not pay attention to it. Ze'Kala shrilled a bit more. "Your mate has also gone down by the lake minutes before the elder."
Now Ra's hand froze before the hologram, and he turned and looked at the Red Arrow leader. He couldn't quite explain what feeling was growing inside him, but he knew he had to be calm about his next moves. He leaned back and shut off the hologram completely before turning and moving with great stride from the hut. The Bear generals were unsure if they should follow to make sure a fight did not ensue, but it involved his mate and anther warrior, and they would let whatever happens happen, for in the Bear clan when going after another warrior's mate, no matter the number of mates, was not a very wise thing to do.
Napalla's POV
I tensed continued to swim back whenever the elder moved upon me.
"Elder, your choices are not wise." I replied. He then purred some.
"Is that the priestess talking or the woman?" he said continuing to move towards me.
"Both…we are in an alliance and this would weaken it." I said. He growled lowly as he swam towards me once more.
"If I want a female, she resists me for a moment before giving in. You resist until the end." he said lowly. Soon he was closing in on me, until suddenly a vicious roar was heard, and both the elder and I turned to see Ra snarling. My eyes widened, and I immediately moved from the water quickly and moved to gather my robes. I was nervous and somewhat afraid of what Ra was thinking. I did not want him to think he caught us in some kind of act.
He moved cautiously towards me, and I moved over to him. I could not even begin to form words of how to explain this. He looked down at me our sharp blue eyes connecting. He looked at how firmly I pressed my dress to my robes, trying to hide my body from the other yautja's eyes.
He then lifted his hand and rested it lightly against my cheek.
"Return to the village, you are needed." he merely replied, his voice soft somewhat. I could tell he was trying to keep control. I nodded slowly and saw Isis returning from the bushes and immediately trotted over to us. Ra looked in Elder Chucka's direction, and I was still worried of what he was going to do. I slid my robes over my body, and Ra lifted me on top of Isis and she turned and returned into the forest with me.
