Distant Battlefields

The call had finally come from their uncle and Tyto immediately abandoned his hunt and raced to join the warriors at the pines. His heart hammered in his chest with both anxiety and adrenaline. He didn't know what had taken so long to get things started but at last they were finally doing it! When he reached the pines he slowed down as the group came into view, and right away he spotted his sister. Although they hadn't spent a whole lot of time together lately, he was glad to see her there and felt some of his anxiety melt away as he sat beside her, gently bumping her shoulder with his and flashing her a grin. He knew she had been eager for this just as much as him and now it was finally time!

Glancing around at the others, he noticed half of them were armed to the teeth with some form of armor, weapons, or companions. Like Recluse, he was going in naked so to speak. But did he mind? Not at all. The raw power of nothing but himself could do just as good as someone decked out with all that fancy stuff, he was sure. Either way if he won or lost, he'd just have to do better next time.
