Disguised as the moon

Chapter 5

"Hahaha," Remoka laughed. The dwarfs were at it again. This time they went to the butchers shop and took all the bloody animals from the back, and they came running after them with the butcher behind them with a knife.
"I promise you the dead animals are by your front door! I promise!" Arrowhead said running and jumping up to climb a tree. Shuving his brothers down.
"Cheif!" He rasped and bowed.
" Have you seen three dwarfs running this way with bloody hands. They put up with a lot of mustyfeaf round here, you should put a handle on them dwarfs of yours. Sorry, if ya didn't know." He said
"Okay, I will see what I can do." Remoka answered. The three brothers in the tree above her were frantically shaking there heads.
" Actually, I saw them turn left at the drive back their on tumar St."
"Thank you Cheif what would the empire so without you."
Messenger sneezer as a bug whizzed by and tickled his nose. The butchers ears shot up, he looked up and saw them... A breif moment of silence later.
"Run!" Remoka yelled laughing. The brothers swung on top of the trees, while Tom and Remoka ran, or more like Tom tryed to keep up. Good thing they had leverage that the army wasn't after them because they were the army. The butchers pace began to gradually slow down, as they approved a medow. The brothers swung to the ground. Hunter landing face first in a swaps murkey water. Arrowhead bounced off his back and into the mud. Followed by Messenger.
" My huts not far from here, follow me." Remoka said.

As soon as they reached the hut, they were not alone. Remoka casually walked up to them and acted to be innocent. It was the council and Sparky.
" Cheif Remoka, we are here because sparky here says that you have made attempts in your training program, to severely injure members of the army such as himself. This reported a second time, causing us to talk to you in person." The head of the council said.
"You guys can go inside and eat some food I have left out. While, I stay out here and talk." She said refering to Tom and the dwarfs.
"If I may speak. I believe it to be a misinterpretation. As do I care for everyone, and would not earn for any more losses of this empire. From all the battles and lives of the past our army is small, and to loss more would be used against me in battle, with a great disadvantage." She started.
" In my train program, I use real life situations to teach and show if it were to happen they would know what to do. Yes, that does involve injury's and blood, but it is for the building of our low numbered army. So, overall you see I am only showing the reality of it all and building off of their weaknesses, to grow strong, young army men." She finished.
" We are sorry for that cheif, we will let you continue. It's not that we didn't believe you, but by law we had to come, good day." They said leaving.
Remoka opened her door and saw Arrowhead on the ground, with Tom and hunter behind a shield on one side of her house with Messenger fighting behind a shield on the other side throwing clumps of dirt at each other. Arrowhead had a wad of dirt to the left of his stomach acting like he had been hit. Everything stopped when she walked in.
"Messenger!" She yelled
"Yes mam?" He said in a low voice.
" And tell me why you happen to be playing without anougher teammate!" She said, sliding behind his shield.
   Messenger grinned, and kept throwing dirt.
   Meanwhile, Hunter and Tom just sat behind their shield defending to the best if their ability, outnumbered. He kept growing and building his defence barrier, after Tom was hit, while Remoka and Messenger  nailed him in the head a few good times. Arowhead would occasionally glance up, and become zobiefied, and yell Zombie apoculaipse. But all three of them would just throw clods of dirt and mud at him, he would just topple over again.
       Afterwards, Remoka, Messenger, Arrowhead, and Hunter, sat around a lopsided table eating at two day old cooked lizards. Tom had just left, saying he had to take care of his mother. Then they scoffed them down quickly, so Remoka has to go outside and to fetch and burn more
  A fowl smell freaked through the room as Remoka re-approached the kitchen. She slide open the backdoor and made her way alertly to the kitchen. Her head poked around the door frame. Then shot it back as fast as she could trying to avoid the arrow that whizzed past her ear.
  Where are the dwarfs! Remoka thought to herself as she spotted them running down the swamp path, through her window. She halted to a stop, realizing through gritted teeth who was in her kitchen. She would have stayed exsept... The two dwarfs were carrying a bloody Hunter with him in their arms.
  Remoka blocked all entrances and exits to the house, by waving her hands over her house as she fled after the dwarfs. She ran in-between the brothers, grabbing Hunter and ran, with Messenger and Arrowhead trying to keep up.
  Remoka slid into the under grown brush in the forest and into a underground cavern leading, as a secret passage way to the infirmary.

   About half an hour later, the dwarfs walked in panting and confused. She had just disapeared and Hunter was no where to be seen. The air was thick and smelled earthen. Remoka felt a presence behind her, and she turned around to face the brothers.
  "He will be alright. Although it will be a while before he can get up and start moving again." She said.
  "Can we see him!" Arrowhead gasped.
  "No, I'm sorry. He is not in the condition and he just went into surgery. The arrow went straight through his top left shoulder hardly  missing a artery," She answered.
  "But you may wait until night when the surgery is over back in your huts."
  The dwarfs nodded gloomily​ and messenger dragged his feat and kicked the dust on the ground, before Arowhead turned back around.
  "He saved us Remoka, he sacrificed​ himself for us."
Then he and Messenger left out the hallway.
