Today was the day. Following Terra hadn’t been ideal for Jaden. She was a coyote. But it was either her or the coward. She was the lesser of two evils. All the spiteful thoughts had left him as he followed his her and his comrades into Salsola. Spite didn’t belong here. Hate would get them killed. Whether he like his coyote leader or trusted Noir was irrelevant now. They were in hostile land and had only each other to depend on for support when the fur started flying.

The Black and Crimson archer was armed not only with his bow and nearly twenty arrows, but also with black metal gauntlets that covered the length of his Optime forearms. They would prove useful if any Salsola wolf managed to make it past the man’s nearly fifty meter firing range.

Jaden followed a fair distance behind his comrades and watched carefully for any disturbance in their surroundings that could indicate an ambush. They were, after all, following a ghost. How Noir was so sure its allegiance to there cause was indubitable he hadn’t the foggiest idea. So long as he stayed far enough back to watch out for anything suspicious, the wolf felt safe enough. He moved like a shadow, completely silent on his two paws. The only thing betraying his invisibility in the early morning shadows were the red streaks painted down his body.

When Terra and Gunnar came upon the stables and decided to snack on the Salsola horses, Jaden just within listening range. He only offered a silent nod in agreement. They had to make a distraction and killing horses would do it. Loud and bloody would attract anyone nearby. Jaden didn’t have a taste for horse so he could just watch for their first targets.

Unfortunately, things wouldn’t be quite so easy. The call of a wolf cut the morning silence sharply and right on its heels rushed a monstrous female secui out of the stables. Jaden’s bow was drawn in a split second while his eyes honed in on their target’s rump; a shot that wasn’t fatal but would be disabling. Trees flashed between him and her as he strafed to his left, trying to get a clear shot before the attacker was on them. But he was too far behind his companions and she was too quick. As he swung free of the trees the Salsola wolf lunged. He didn’t want to risk hitting Terra with a stray arrow and now they were too close to call it.

The battle was on. Gunnar could help Terra with that one wolf. He looked close enough to unleash the furry of his deadly scythe. Jaden threw his bow over one shoulder and sprinted toward the stables. He needed to get high enough to see incoming attackers. There would be more and he would be ready with pinpoint accuracy.

Jaden does. "Jaden speaks."Jaden thinks.
