What is war

Barking furiously Pyrrhic chased after a small grey squirrel. The lithe little creature bounced off the base of a tree in the hopes of confusing him and then leaped onto the trunk of another. In seconds it was out of reach and blending into the shadows above. Were it not for the angry chattering that emanated from the treetop Pyrrhic wouldn't have known a squirrel was up there. He glared up after it then spun around and kicked dirt at the tree. "Yeah, you's better run! This is Abrassass territrory!" For good measure he squatted beside the tree and peed on one of its exposed roots. Satisfied that the intruder had been dealt with appropriately, the boy strutted away. His dad (in an effort to teach him about territory, boundaries and the patrols he went on throughout the day) had told him that the densite and a large swath around it was their family's territory. Together they'd marked out a border and before he'd left that morning to patrol his dad had told him he needed to defend his territory from intruders. Malleus had thought it a game to keep the boy occupied, but Pyrrhic had taken it to heart. Since then not so much as a sparrow had been allowed to linger inside the circle. His sister's growls brought him at a run. He was supposed to defend everything and that meant his mom and siblings too. If something was after one of them he'd make them sorry! Pyrrhic screeched onto the scene and made a beeline for his sister. His attention was immediately captured by the vine she was clawing at. In his mind's eye it morphed into a monster's tentacle. His mouth fell open as he followed it up the tree. The monster was huge! Felicity needed his help! With a fearsome battle cry Pyrrhic pounced on a different segment of the vine Felicity was working on. He pried a piece off the tree and then began to shake and twist it in the hopes of breaking it off entirely. Together they'd vanquish this beast! |
