"Moonfang, its sweet of you, but I gotta prepare my-" Amberscale was cut off by a loud rousing and roaring- summoning the Clan sheriff. "AGH!!! Gotta go flower face!!!" She sped off after seeing him blush a bit. Did he? She looked back again but couldn't see him. Wow, how many guys liked her? Amberscale was aware he was the most sharp looking and minded of all the Velociraptors, the rightful medic. Even Amberscale thought so. She was there, but somehow she knew Tide was going to die, and she felt no emotion for him. This isn't right- is it? Jaggedclaw was about finished announcing the ritualistic speech, and she and Firetooth stepped up as the crowd.

Silence and motionlessness for three seconds, surrounded them like an aura. Amberscale knew it was that she should make the first move. She habitually lunged at Firetooth. Habit and Normality overtook her. Her heart stopped in her throat and she sank her claws into Firetooth. Her face was emotionless and Firetooth flailed beneath her, overwhelmed by her weight but managed to sink his teeth in her arm. Amberscale and Firetooth let out shrieks of pain, emotional and physical. This was the Raptor she saved. The poor Deinonychus was only a child.

"WAIT!!!!" Yelled Moonfang. "saka'vagga."

A gasp overtook the crowd. Everyone and everything was hushed. This was the ancient Raptor langage.. It meant "take me". The definition pulsed through Amberscales head. Take Me.

"Saka'vagga" He called louder.

"This is Ritual-" Jaggedclaw was cut off.

"Look at what it did to Tide... To Firetooth..." He muttered.

Everyone and everything was hushed as Moonfang stepped forward.

"Vasg." Moonfang uttered. It meant Hope and Life in a single word.

Amberscales heart stopped.

"Hagisaj." Amberscale whispered to Moonfang. A way to say good luck.

Firetooth got up. His scales were already bloodstained, and he lunged forward to maul Moonfang.

Moonfang dodged and slid a claw against the Deinonuchus side. Horror struck Amberscale as they colided and Firetooth's hand pierced Moonfang's Stary scales. "kalatae" he spoke. Gently he fell. His eyes were closed. He looked asleep, but she knew it wasnt the case. He was probably dead.

"Times change. destiny." Amberscale translated. She had no idea which he meant but she thought both.

Kalatae. It was powerfull. It was different. It was kalatae.
