Thread: A Jackels Strength

A Jackals Strength 2 Fading Strength Clash of Brothers Zack had dropped down into the house and glanced through a hole in the roof, watching Travis walk away. 'if she is right, I must leave now.' he thought, collecting his weapons and clothes into a pack. He heard a knock at the door and drew out his dagger as he looked through the peephole. A pair of panthers dressed in light leather armor and equipped with spears were standing there, waiting for zack to open the door. 'serims person guard? What are they doing here?' he thought, opening the door. may I help you two? zack asked, hiding his dagger behind his back. are you zack? the one on the right said stiffly, his tone making zacks fur raise slightly. no, you just missed him, I'm his brother Travis. zack said, locking eyes with one of them before knowing he had made a mistake. The panther on the left purred softly. that was just a formality, we know exactly where Travis is. You are arrested and will be taken to serims castle for trial. he said, taking a step forward. He never finished that step. zack kicked him in the chest with surprising power, compared to his small body. The panther flew back a few feet and landed on his back before rolling to his feet. you will pay for that with your life little tramp... said the panther. take him Don. Don was the bigger and stronger of the two, but he was as quick as his partner. He jerked the spear and stabbed forward before stopping and spinning the shaft to hit Zack with the end. Zack blocked with his dagger, then punched the spear, breaking in half as he jumped backwards, climbing up the ladder and out onto the roof. Don growled and walked into the house, grabbing the cot and flipped it, picking up any weapons he found and confiscating them as he tore the place up, his partner watching Zack dash out towards the edge of the village, then into the trees on the edge. serims not going to like that... Jay purred softly, walking into the house and looking around before leaving come Don, we must speak with serim. he said. They left and walked around the corner, almost bumping into Travis as he walked back towards the house. Zack ran until he couldn't anymore, then he climbed a tree and sat on one of his branches, examining his bleeding knuckles. 'dammit... I'm not strong enough to stay brother. Please forgive me.' he thought, closing his eyes as he rested, feeling a numbness set over him. Travis walked into the house, shocked at the destruction that had happened. He quickly searched for any signs of a fight and only found chips of wood at the front and a small patch of flattened ground. 'somthing happened... And Zack is gone.' he thought, sitting down in the middle of the ground with a frown. It was several tiring hours later until Travis had finally finished fixing as much of the house as he could. He collapsed onto the cot and started to pass out when he heard a knock at the door. He got up and checked it, only to see two panthers with leather armor and spears... And grins on their faces. Zack hardly rested for maybe three hours before he woke up and started walking. He was tired but had to head north, and without a compass or a map he had no clue where that was in the darkness of the forest. He collected dry sticks and put them into his pack for later, knowing a chill would start to set in and he wanted to be ready. Chapter 2 hope you like it.
