Soul closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he looked down on the clearing. "Fellow foxes," he began, "I am so burdened to have to tell you that Creo and Flare have both left the leash. Creo's eyes flashed with Zargon's demons when he turned and left, and it pains me to say that this came to no surprise. The surprise was that Flare was so devoted to his brother, he was willing to ignore Kinari and the leash to join him on his perverted quest for evil. As most of you are realizing right now, that leaves us without a SIC warrior. After much thought, I've decided that the position deservedly goes to Ryuu." Soul nodded to his new SIC and then made eye contact with every single fox in the clearing, giving them time to absorb his words so that they would understand what he had to say next. "Because of this," he continued, "I'm going to take a group of warriors with me into the forest to track Creo down and kill him. He is a threat to every single one of you, and I can't have him poisoning and damaging the forest any more than it needs to be. I still have hope for young Flare, and we'll see what happens once we get there. Ryuu, Jupiter, Apollo, and myself will be going on this mission. The rest of you are to stay in camp no matter what. As usual, Shiko and Leaf Fall will be in charge. Shira," Soul said, looking at the new fox, "I'll talk to you when we get back." He jumped down from his den and sat down, giving the others time to talk to him if they needed to before they left.
"Nooooo!" Raven wailed, clearly in despair after the news. A sob racked through her body as she ran towards one of the camp entrances so that she could run into the forest. After remembering Soul's orders, she pivoted and ran into the den, her vision blurry from the tears that were welling up. She crashed down into a nest in the back and let the tears roll down her face, silently crying.
