[[Castle Cats]] - Young Elites

Chapter One

Conan was happy to finally be requested to join a guild, though in the back of his mind there was still doubt. He walked up to the archway that lead into a small clearing, there didn't really seem to be anyone around. He was worried he had been ditched, again. Conan let out a soft sigh as the wind went through his fur. "Hello?" He called out, he wasn't sure if anyone would hear him though.

Recently every guild he had tried to join, kicked him out or laughed in his face. They all thought he was just a cute kitten with big dreams. But he had been training for a while, he had been working hard to fulfill his dream of being a knight, so he wasn't going to give up easily.

As Conan stood in the archway, there was only silence. He decided to take a few steps in, observing the clearing more closely. There was a rustle in the bush that was only a few tail lengths away. Soon a small she-cat with gray fur stepped out, her eyes green like the brightest emeralds. She had a small black cape and armored boots on her paws.

"Welcome," she mewed in greeting, she didn't seem to be much older than he was. "I'm Madison, you are?" She let out a small purr of excitement as she sat down, curling her tail around her paws. "Hi there! You must be the new guild leader!" Conan shook out his fur and sat down, lifting his head slightly with pride as he continued. "I am the brave knight, Conan, protector of Catania!" Madison let out a soft laugh and nodded a bit as he spoke.

Though as the continued to conversing with each other, they didn't notice a pug slip through the entrance. "-in order to save Catania from the  Evil Pugomancer," Conan spoke, still not noticing the dog who was sneaking up on them. "Pfft! A small fry like you could never defeat me!" The pug let out an evil cackle. Both Madison and Conan jumped back from the dog, getting into battle stances.

"And who is this ugly cat with you? Geez," he barked at them, and he gagged while looking at Madison. The she-cat's fur bristled as she let out a hiss of annoyance. Conan tried to strike at the dog's nose with his paw, though he missed by a few inches. "It's the Evil Pugomancer!" Madison rolled her eyes, since Conan was pretty much just stating the obvious.

"I can't be bothered with such weak heros.. Zombies - Take care of them," Pugomancer said and backed away from them. Green zombie dogs, which resembled chihuahuas, stumbled into the clearing. Madison charged into battle first, letting out a war cry. Some of the zombies had stitches around their stomachs, others had legs or other body parts missing..

Madison striked at the zombies' heads, leaving clear claw marks on their faces. Conan also went into battle, as he ran towards the beasts, he pulled out the small dagger he had strapped to his side with his mouth. He lunged at the zombies, ready to attack.

From there it was a frenzy of fur, claws, and teeth.. A while after, only two beings were left standing, their grey fur dyed red. They had a few scratches, nothing too serious, since they were more agile than the bulky zombie mutts who now lie dead at their feet.

"We barely won that fight Conan, we must find more recruits," Madison stated as she shook out the dirt from her fur. "Also... welcome to the Young Elites," she gave a nod to Conan as she walked off to her den which was inside the bush.. Conan remained calm until she left.. "WOOO!!!! I FINALLY AM IN A GUILD!! YES! THANK THE ELDERS I'M FINALLY IN!"
