"Whatever happened to those two, I've got to get as far away as possible," said Lerod to himself as he ran through thick bushes and dense forest terrain.
"Those poor bastards- they're probably getting exiled right now."
Evening sunlight shone through openings in trees and branches, clouds were slowly drifting past the sun, shaded orange by the slowly darkening sky, casting shadows on the land below, and sounds of simple animal life were heard aside from the sounds of Lerod pushing plants and bushes away from him.
"I got my ass in quite the scenario this time. I don't know how Larro and Logan're going to fare without me." he said to himself, pausing to rest on the back of a tree. "Maybe I should've turned myself in, after all…"
Minutes passed, then hours, and Lerod had not the slightest clue what it'd take to survive out all alone. He couldn't go and try to stay at another tribe because, as said before, him and his companions were well known. Very well known, to be more specific, and they had not just caused trouble for the lions; they were pretty much ravens, except they weren't. Wherever they went, those three, they'd steal or create disturbances just for the hell of it, be it chi day racing, market days or tribe gatherings. No tribe would help him anymore, so he was in this all by himself.
Lerod did know how to start a simple fire, though, and around that time of the year, temperatures would start dropping by varied amounts during the night. He would occasionally set up small camps for himself as he retreated further and further out, away from civilization. Eventually, he wasn't even able to tell that he was out in the outlands. Strange plants, green, misty fog and frightening noises got more and more common as the hours and days passed.
As for Logan and Larro, they were thrown in a dungeon instead. It does sound cruel, and even worse, their parents were perfectly fine with it, excluding Larro's father, Lann, who was very infuriated at Sir Luster.
"You think you're just going to chain up my kid and throw him in a dungeon to rot?"
"It sounds cruel, I know, but just give me a chance to explain -"
