49 Sacrifice (1/2)

Facing the wolf who recklessly charged towards him, the little tiger dodged the strike of the wolfs claws but a scratch mark was left on his face.

Blood came out of the small wound above his left eye and began to drip down onto his left eye affecting his vision slightly.

He would not let this affect his chance to strike at an opening left by his opponent, he quickly got close and bit down onto the wolfs throat.

”Foolish child.” The elderly tiger sighed to himself as he was very upset that the young tiger had returned.

However he could not have time to be upset right now, he still had to deal with the enemies in front of him.

A few minutes of travel, the tiger clan survivors had picked up their pace and escaped further.

They began to feel hopeful that they could escape now, perhaps there was a slither of chance that they could live through this ordeal.

Just as they were feeling hopeful those at the front stopped in their tracks.

The others had to stop to see what was wrong but they saw in front of them a large group of figures in the distance that had could barely be made out.

As the figures approached closer, the tigers hopes were crushed to pieces, their escape route had been sealed off and there was no turning back now.

Their small group was full of weaker beasts right now and their small clan did not have many allies within the forest.

Back at the fight between the remaining wolves and the old and young tigers, the atmosphere was tense.

The elderly wolf had not expected this brat to suddenly come back, their efforts to use numbers and tricks to wear down the elderly tiger of his remaining stamina relied upon being careful during this fight.

So it was not within his calculations that the young tiger would return, he thought at such a young age the young tiger would cling onto his life at any opportunity so escaping was his best option.

Yet he had returned, the old wolf forgot to include one thing into his reasoning.

The young tiger felt responsible for what was happening to his clan members, his guilt and sense of responsibility lead him back here.

His fight with the young wolf lead to his clan members being slaughtered, if anyone blamed him he did not know.

Judging from how the wolves attacked so suddenly with the smallest reason it could be said anyone or anything could of sparked such events, if nothing happened now perhaps something may have happened in the future.
