During nightfall, Phil was roasting some trout that he was able to catch while hunting with some of the Foxes at noon. Winston was reading his book to learn more about Xena's environments till his stomach rumbles a little.
"Are they ready?" Winston asked as he closed his book.
"Just a couple more minutes, bro." Phil spoke as he kept turning the fish over the fire.
"One thing I miss eating is burgers and fries back home." Phil says.
"Bacon too, but life on Earth is impossible to have food like that. There are hardly any places to buy soda too. Fish is better than nothing." Winston added.
"True. I'm just worried about how this will go in the future for us. Being hunted down by our own kind, since I accidentally killed the General's son and deserted from the military. We should do something to help the tribe take back what's theirs and free people that are our age from being warmongers by General Vince's corruption." Phil explains as he cuts the cooked fish with his knife.
"We're against a military with heavy machinery and guns, Phil. All the Fox tribe have is bows and arrows and spears. It's a losing fight if war is declared." Winston explains
"When did you get smart?" Phil asked as he gave him a plate.
"Just because I'm five, doesn't mean I'm not." Winston says as he starts eating.
"I'm joking." Phil says.
Meanwhile, Lilith was doing lookout While sitting on top of the small tree and sees a group of Foxes signaling her with his torch from a distance. She signaled back with a weird sound she made from her mouth that the group was clear to head in the village.
She noticed that they brought back a few soldiers that looked like human children that were scouting around earlier and headed back to the village as well.
"Hello Princess, we captured some humans that were wandering around the deep forest region hours earlier." The Male Fox explains.
"How many?" She asked.
"Four. They are all kids." Another Fox spoke.
"Put them in the holding pits till morning when we try to reason and explain with them." Lilith commanded.
They group nodded and carried the unconscious child soldiers into the holding pits.
"What's going on?" Winston asked.
"We found some human children scouting around the deep forests earlier." Lilith explains.
"General Vince is just sending them to their death. That's just wrong." Phil says.
"Well good thing they captured them in time or some wild beast could've killed them at nightfall. Tomorrow I do need your help to convince them that we aren't their enemy like what Vince told them." Lilith explained.
"We will, I think I know a couple of them that you found." Phil added.
"Very well. I hope my father will understand about this situation." Lilith spoke while she sighed.
"I bet he will. He is just trying to know how humans are." Phil spoke.
"And very stubborn too." Lilith added.
Meanwhile somewhere at the edge of the deep forest region, Sargent Gerald and Corporal Hall were getting concerned that the child soldiers they sent did not return yet since it's night time already.
"They should be back a couple hours ago." Gerald said as he looked at the moon coming up.
"We should find them." Corporal Hall suggested.
