"Leave us, Guardsmen." Barlick growled.


Louy, Toby, Tisen, and Eldstone stood before Barlick. Barton crossed his arms. 


"Eldstone. My own son. Abandoning me. Abandoing Tra. Abandoing Barton. I expected better of you. You were destined to become King! But no, ran away, to.. wherever! Do you know what it was like? Stay up at night, worrying about you?! Having grief..."  Barlick sat down in his throne growling, and fed up.


His olive green eyes turned cold. Emotion started to fade from his face.


"I waited for you. Worried, anxious, and full of grief...." He growled even more. His brown furred hand smashed against the arm of the golden throne. 

Rage then flared. He jumped out of his seat.

"You two, taking my son and turning.. turning him into.. into.. a disloyal being! Punishments will be enforced for your treachery. I should have sent another patrol to make sure, all the Guardians were dead." He growled leaning toward Toby and Tisen.

Both stood with eyes narrowed.

"The Dstellers will always live on. The Guardians will find a way!" Toby growled being taken away by the Guardsmen. Eldstone felt cold hands being placed on his arms. 

Barton glared at him. "I once had a brother, but now he is truly dead."

You always agreed with Father anyway.



Eldstone sat in his prison cell. Iron bars and stone bricks surrounded him. Shouts from angry prisoners filled the air.

"Hey look! Its the Prince of Tra!"

"I thought he was dead?"

"Guess not. Not surprised he is here then!" Two prisoners joked.

Tisen leaned against Toby. Whimpers were heard from their cell. "I know Tisen. I promise we will get out of here." 

Louy paced his cell screeching.

"I can't believe this! Your father is insane Eldstone! If I were King, I would handle this more properly! This isn't okay!" Louy screeched some more.  Eldstone peered through the bared window. The sun cast a evening shadow on Tra.



"Wake up!" A Guardsmen banged against Toby's and Tisen's cell.

Eldstone glanced at his bandages that he had found. He Peeled them off seeing the now more healed wounds. He then placed them back on.

The red robed Guardsmen opened the cell. Standing next to him was another cougar dressed in black robes. 

Toby's eyes widened.

"Tisen! Fight back!" 

Louy screeched realized what was happening. Soon other prisoners began to awake. 

"Leave them alone!" Eldstone screeched banging his hands against the bars.  Toby and Tisen clawed and tried to fight back. They were then pinned down by the Guardsmen. Tisen's coco fur was smeared in different directs and coated with some blood. Toby's amber eyes flared with rage and fear. His redish colored fur also smeared in blood.


They two saber tooth tigers were lifted and dragged out of the cell.

"Eldstone! Louy!" Toby yelled.


His yells soon began to fade as he was dragged down the hall. 

Eldstone kneeled feeling tears soak his fur.

I'm sorry.. I'm sorry...
