xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Well, lets get into it then!" SnagTooth chirped, taking a seat in front of the two cats and starting off his story.
xxxx"Just a few moons ago, before the sun had finished it's climb over the horizon, yours truly was out and about among the clan's territory with a morning patrol. You see, prey had been dwindling, so we'd set out especially early to get the jump on whatever might have been taking it. After a few hours of searching, we came across a small cave, and the patrol leader sent me and one of the more swift warriors to scout it out and make sure there was no trouble.
xxxxLong story short, there was trouble. A full grown female panther. She'd awoke after smelling us and sat there, ready to pounce and growling, waiting for us to make a move. As I and the other warrior approached and finally were able to see her, we both froze in fear. It took a few moments before I came too, and on instinct I yelled to the other warriors outside to warn them, then turned to run. The other warrior had the same idea and ran as well.
xxxxBeing so big, I'm not very fast. My cry had set off the panther and she came charging at us, and being as slow as I am, she was able to sink her teeth into my tail and throw he against the cave's wall. The force of it ripped the thing clean off, but before she could come and land another blow, the other patrol warriors were on top of her and before long she was beat up enough to retreat.
xxxxNot many of us got hurt, luckily. I was the worst injury of us all. Soon after losing my tail I realized I was getting a little too old to do the whole warrior thing, and decided to become an elder. My biggest regret is not cherishing that huge fluff of a tail I had more."
xxxxHe finished off the story with a small chuckle, giving a smile.
