Max Adventures: Elemental Guardians Episode 4: Protector Of The Wilds

chapter 14: The Wolf's Love for the Deer

"Do Do Do doooo"

Zinti sang a bit as she sat on the roof, scanning for their friends. "Anything, Zinti?" Bella called out to her from the balcony. "Nope" she told her before jumping down, using an ice made slide to get down, and one she tocuhed the ground, it faded into ice particles." Your turn to play look out" the little arctic fox told her, handing her the telescope before running back inside.

Gaia and Leena were inside, sparring eachother. Well, actually they were suppose to be making lunch. But then Gaia noticed Leena's bow, and then they got into a conversation about fighting tactics and then they decided to spar.

"Ha!"

"Hi-yah!"

Gaia spun her bo staff, and tried to slam it on her but Leena dodged it and the next one when the wolf tried to swing it across. The lioness had to improvise and use her bow more like a bo staff. Far distance attacks didn't work much when Gaia moves fast with her bo staff. "Go Leena! Come on!" Adira shouted, supporting her friend. She loved a good fight. And this was exciting.

"You're not bad!" Leena complimented her, going for another swing as their weapons made contact, trying to push eachother. "You too! Haha! You keep up much faster than my husband!" She told her, making Leena laugh at the fact Gaia didn't hesitate to roast her own partner. She thought to herself it was good he wasn't here.

Leena went make a stab with her bow but Gaia dodged it again by leaning down. Her tail looped around Leena's ankle without touching it to not alert the lioness and she smack her bo staff on her back, catching Leena off guard. With her distracted, she took the chance and her tail pulled her feet, causing Leena to fall down on the ground. As she sat up, progressing what happen, a hand was stretched in front of her face, offering to pick her back up.

"You ok?" Gaia asked her kindly, wanting to make sure she wasn't hurt or anything.  The lioness took her hand, letting Gaia pulled her back up on her feet. "Yeah. Thanks" she assured her. "That bow of yours is handy. But it can be multifunctional if you find a way to enhance it" the whit wolf advised her, picking up the bow, and handing it to her. The lioness knew she was right as she looked at it. It was good for far distance attacks. But if she was to deal with more closer attacks, she would have to find a way to make useful in more than one way. "It was a good try really" Adira commented, bumping her shoulder into her friend to cheer her up.

"You know what. I think I might have something to help you. Come on" Gaia told her, the three girls leaving the room to another one with herbs, gems and all kinds if plants. At that moment...

"Wah!"

"Zinti! Be careful!"

Zinti came running into Gaia, startling the two. Leena was the one who spoke. The mama wolf just laughed, checking to make sure sure the fox kit didn't get hurt. "It's ok Leena.  Timber would do the same thing all the time. So, what brings you here Zinti?" Gaia asked calmly as the kit stood back to look at them.

"I left Bella in charge while I come deliver the report. So far, I don't see the boys anywhere, or the guardian. And, I don't see Apachi and his meanies anywhere" the little fox reported, standing tall with her tail, and her ears up high. Gaia, Adira, and Leena had to hold back any chuckling from how cute Zinti was being right now. "She reminds me of Timber when he was her age. He always liked to mimic her and his father sometimes.

That made Zinti look at them puzzled." What's so funny hm? This is serious! Last time, Apachi could've won! You be vigilant like a fox! Like me!" She explained to them firmly yet proudly, furthering their amusement.

"Hey! Stop laughing! The fox princess commands you!" She told them, getting irritated and stopping her foot as her bushy tail puffed up. It was just too cute to the girls.
