Miira's Fahrar

Graduation

When the cubs woke up a few days later, Primus Bayn wasn't in the camp. They went ahead with their chores. It was Sennen's turn to gather wood and Torruhk hunted some small animals. The others stayed in camp and helped the Bane Warband. Torruhk came back with his kill after an hour.

"Where's my fire?" Torruhk shouted.

"Sennen isn't back yet. Didn't you see him?" Korina helped Torruhk to skin the animals.

"No, he went in another direction. He's taking to long. I'll stomp his tail when he get back." He growled.

Korina punched his shoulder. "Don't be mean. I'm sure he has his reasons."

"I'll go take a look. My stomach is growling as well." Malkov ran off to find a high enough tree. He came back down soon. "He's preoccupied with a lady. Seems a bit old, but eyes can deceive. Especially from this distance. He'll be back soon."

Torruhk growled again.

"Hi, sorry I'm late. I've got enough wood here." Sennen panted as he dropped the firewood.

"So, when's the wedding?" Malkov grinned.

"What?" Sennen looked up startled.

"I saw you with your lady friend. You can't escape my eyes." Malkov winked.

Sennen kept his silence. Torruhk was still annoyed and stomped on his tail.

"Ouch! Why did you do that?" Sennen rubbed his tail.

"You know why. We're all hungry because of you. Do your duty."

"Guys. Quit it. No need to go tail stomping. Let's finish breakfast before Primus Bayn comes back. I suspect he is preparing for our graduation assignment. We have to be ready." Miira came between them.

It wasn't until well after noon that Primus Bayn came back.

"Ok, cubs. Last one." Primus Bayn grinned. "I've been following the flame legion in the area for a while. And tonight we're going to disrupt a meeting of theirs."

Sennen froze for a moment.

"Now, no need to be scared. There is only a few of them and they're not high ranked. They're meeting a charr from the iron legion and hope to recruit him. They don't know he was undercover for me. He won't come, but you will. The flame legion usually sends three charr for a recruitment meeting. One spokesperson and two guards. We're meeting in front of an old guard tower. Besides the ruins, it's an open field. And one tree for Malkov. The guards are weaker than the spokesperson. I honestly don't get why they bring guards, since the spokesperson has far more power. But hey, Flame Legion is a special kind of special."

The cubs snickered.

"We're going to have an early dinner and leave before the sun starts setting. You have until then to figure out a strategy." Primus Bayn saluted and walked away. This was something the cubs had to do themselves. He wasn't supposed to be involved any longer.

"Alright. Open field, tree, ruins. Malkov, like Primus Bayn said, the tree is yours. I want you to shoot the guards in the knees to cripple them. Sennen and Torruhk will kill the guard you hit first. Korina, you will terror the other two as a distraction. In those two seconds, you and I will take care of the other guard. If you notice the other charr comes to his senses, distract him again, until all five of us can focus on the spokesperson."

"Hey, why do you get to kill one alone?" Torruhk asked Miira.

"I'm not. Korina and I will."

"But she also has to keep the main kitten preoccupied."
