Interlude: Hunting of Sir John Mandeville

Forest of Gruk, Eostia

Within the forest, standing trees and green leaves with the birds and critters making sounds or running around. An arrow pulled by a hand with chuckles and pointing at the fallen branch and bushes.

"I've got you now, old man." Anguy the Archer (Game of Thrones), member and archer of the Golden Fox Company, said with gleefully as he loose the arrow with explosion which made the horses whinnying in fright. The man rose up from the branch showing a man wearing tattered robes, Sir John Mandeville, an aristocrat, a slave merchant, a Black Dog collaborator and Chloe's biological father was spook in shock as he sees the riders and began running.

Why was he running, well, after Naruko's inaguaration she began her campaign by hunting slavers, slave merchants and nobles who likes buying slaves. With Varys' spy network on Eostia, his little birds informs every information and detailing to Naruko and other Shield Princesses including Olga and Chloe that some of the nobles and slave merchants secretly financing and collaborating with Volt and his Black Dogs. In exchange that they'll keep their properties (aka slaves), detailing the fortresses weaknesse and having piece of the Shield Princesses which disgusts them as Celestine gave an official decree that slavery is abolished while the collaborating nobles' assets and properties will be confiscated and give to the refugees as compensation. Those tratorous nobles including Sir John Mandeville were hunted by the Golden Fox Company, the Alliance, the Eostian militants and angry feemen who wanted revenge to their former slave masters and the traitorous Black Dogs.

"Get him!" Anguy shouted as he and other Golden Fox Company riders chasing the aristocrat slaver who was hurriedly running through the bushes.

Dozen of golden armored chimps (Armored Chimps from the Planet of the Apes 2001) of the Golden Fox Company dive down from the trees as the officer shouted. "Search every bush and tree! Mandeville must be caught!" As the chimps began searching the Black Dog collaborator.

Mandeville running on the dirt road panting until he heard the horses hooves with voices. "He's over there! Hurry!" He turned around and walk another direction. Horses galloping on the dirt road as they neighing. "Come on!"

Mandeville looking from left and right from the soldiers as he began walking another direction. While the armored chimps cutting the bushes with their swords with grunts as they continue the search of Sir John Mandeville.

Anguy and other riders keeps searching around the forest seriously as they are now on open ground of the forest. "Easy now. He's close by. Keep your eyes open." He widen his eyes as he saw Mandeville running and panting. "There! There's no escape, Mandeville!" He put the arrow on his bow and drawing the arrow then he release the arrow with small explosion on the side of Mandeville's feet which he frightenly jump as he turned looking at Anguy and the riders.

"It's all over, old man! Surrender to Shield Princess Naruko Oja!" Sweat showing on Mandeville's head as he tried escape by turned around again on other direction which shocks him as the armored chimps holding their swords approaching the fallen aristocrat with chuckles. Suddenly an armored gorilla jump in front of the slave aristocrat, Attar (Planet of the Apes 2001), a member of the Golden Fox Company and one of Naruko's lieutenants, as he growl showing his fangs on Sir John Mandeville which made him whimper and tremble of fear.

Until Attar notice Mandeville's nether region that was wetting as he look at slave merchant's face sweating and red cheeks which started to chuckles of Attar and then he laughed. "Hehehehahahahahahahahahaha!" Followed by other members of the Golden Fox Company as they keep laughing outloud on the woods. Then he smacked his gauntlet on to Mandeville's head very hard as he laid down the dirt ground unconcious.

"Disgusting. Put him with the others!"

"Yes, sir!" Two armored chimps dragging the body of Sir John Mandeville to other Black Dog prisoners and collaborators.
