Subject: Mossyra's Tale: Part 12 Author: Mossyra [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:55:50 06/27/07 Wed Silkfur glanced out her oar port and froze, completely stunned at what she saw. Her friend, Turfee, saw her expression and lokked to see what had caused the reaction. The slave driver saw two oar slaves cease rowing and strode over. He remembered them well. One was the young wildcat that had made fun of him and the other was a small mousemaid. He smiled cruelly and raised his whip. Then he, too, saw what they had noticed. The whip fell from his nerveless grasp. Then he dashed up the steps, yelling, "Ship to starboard, ship to starboard!" Cruelclaw stood on deck and watched grimly as vermin crowded to the rails with weapons bristling. The ship he had been following had hoved into veiw and now he had found his daughter. Anticipation of the fight to come nearly had him quivering and he smiled as he thought of getting his revenge on the beasts that had taken his daughter. Quickdash stared out his oar port, as did every other slave on the ship, and found himself looking into the oar port opposite of his on the other ship. A mousemaid smiled at him, but the creature that really caught his attention was the wildcat next to her, a half-grown maiden that resembled Cruelclaw. So, the cat had finally found his daughter. Not that it made any difference to a slave. The two armies met with a clash and a roar. The cats in Cruelclaw's horde leapt onto the other ship and slaughtered the opposing army easily. They were used to fighting battles while the sea-going enemy knew only how to raid. The wildcat leader dueled the searat captain, fighting back and forth across the ship. It ended with the cat as victor. Bringing his sword across in an upward slash, he cut a long slash into the rat's arm. Then, in the momentary distraction caused by the wound, he swept it sideways and chopped off the captain's head. Then he went in search of his daughter. The two guards that had been positioned at the top of the stairwell to prevent anybeast getting to the slaves died at his questing blade, the only two left of the entire crew. Father and daughter were finally reunited. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
