The Intro Story

Clash of Brothers

Zack was sitting ontop of a roof in the village, watching the hustle and bustle that went with the beginning of the day. This village was on the edge of a desert, bearly getting by with what they could find. There were wooden huts closely packed throughout the streets, wood or thatch roofs with small gaps where fires smoke would flow out.

Zack was a grey jackal with loose, black clothes, his ears tipped with black just as his paws and the tip of his tail were. He had his eyes closed as he meditated, focusing to find his brother, who was more... Lively, then him. Just as Zack started to give up, a crash sounded right behind him. He stood up and turned around to see his brother flat on his stomach on the roof, grinning like an idiot.

"Almost did it bro!" Travis said, getting up and brushing himself off, his fur almost like zack's, except it was lighter, seemingly softer, just like his eyes.

"Cant sneak up on a ninja if you go bustling about, I bet even serim, cheif of the village, heard your noise, and I could get away with yelling in his ears." he said, shaking his head, but his eyes flashing, showing that he didn't mean any harm in the jab.

Travis chuckled and walked up to Zack "Like you would ever yell." he jested "You hardly even talk unless it's to me. Do you think you will meet a girl if you don't even talk to them? Let alone a guy?" he shook his head and jumped down from the roof, rolling to lessen the pressure from the jump. Travis started walking down the street, Zack following from the roofs.

They walked to their house, If you could call a one room shed a house, and headed in, Travis through the front door and zack through a hole in the roof.

"well, are you ready for your lessons? I can't be protecting you forever... I'm not strong enough... Not yet." Zack said, pulling out two daggers and tossing one to Travis, then charging at him before he could catch it. Travis jumped over Zack and caught the dagger mid-air, landing and striking at his exposed back.

A clang echoed in the room as Zack blocked the attack with lightning quick speed, his arm behind his back with the dagger pushing his brothers attack to the side. Zack spun and faked with the dagger, then punched his brother in the face while travis' guard was bothered with the dagger.

Travis was pushed back a few feet by the hit, his nose bleeding and his eyes watering. He cleared his eyes with his sleeve, but felt a poke at the side of his neck. He slowly lowered his arm to see that zack had flashed past him and was behind him, the tip of the dagger touching his neck.

"don't ever lower your guard..." Zack said, taking the dagger from Travis before stepping back and putting both of them away. "go get cleaned up."

Travis shook his head and walked out the back door where they had a gated off area with a small stream running through it. Travis washed the blood from his face and turned around just as he heard a click.

Zack was smiling on the other side of the door, leaning against it. He had locked the door with a standard key lock system, but he had electrified it so travis would have a small shock when he touched it.

Travis shook his head with a grin. "let the yearly tests begin..." he muttered, tightening his belt that had a pitch black steel buckle on it, the ninjas black belt.
