Chapter 825
Water surged as a furious beaver charged towards their group. Three Squeaks understood hed failed pretty badly at diplomacy, but was it his fault when the other side didnt even try? The beaver captain didnt really give them a chance to leave, either.
With Fearsome Mandibles running off to fight this beaver, Three Squeaks couldnt exactly choose to not fight. And though he hoped that the actual leader was more reasonable, it was unlikely that they would listen with people dead.
Three Squeaks took a shot with his bow, and was unsurprised when the waves around the rapidly approaching beaver completely deflected his attack. That made things a bit more difficult. What could he do?
One piece of advice from Anton came to mind. If you have to fight, dont do it where your enemy wants to.
There was more to that, but the basic point was easy enough. This beaver had control over water. He shouldnt be anywhere near it. Making sure he at least had Crossed Antennae with him, he began to move away from the now surging river. Half Oink, Meep! Were fighting away from the water! Fearsome Mandibles, I hope you can hear me because that means you too!
He couldnt really do anything if the void ant princess wasnt listening. He didnt know where she was but he wasnt going to be leaving her to fight alone. It wouldnt make a difference if he was a bit closer or further.
Who dares broach the sanctity of the Widetimber Colony? came a chittering roar from the beaver king, or whatever they called him, as he drew closer and closer with the surging waves.
This was the part where Three Squeaks was supposed to answer with something to attempt to diffuse the situation, as pointless as it was. But by the time he found the words, someone was already speaking.
Your people are terrible! Half Oink squealed towards the overly large beaver.
Also smell bad Meep augmented his volume without actually shouting.
Three Squeaks was going to have things to say to them, if they survived this. One Essence Collection beaver might be something they could take out, but he didnt come along, bringing another handful of Spirit Building opponents along with him in his wave. Unfortunately, they were currently shielded by the waves as well so Three Squeaks just tried to pick out a good spot far enough from the river and the artificial lake. If only there were trees around, he could at least get some more distance that way. Instead, the land was basically a collection of stumps and mangled shrubs.
I hope you have some good mushrooms, Three Squeaks said to Meep.
The old meerkat shook his head. None.
How unfortunate. Three Squeaks was going to suggest he stay out of the battle, but he stepped forward and poured something out of his bag. Dont touch, he said primarily to Half Oink.
What is that? Three Squeaks asked.
None of them would miss such an opening. Three Squeaks sunk an arrow into the back of the paw, Half Oink sliced into his gut, and even Meep somehow arrived behind him and clawed into his back.
A surge of energy from the beaver king spoke of a last ditch attack, but even that was torn away and consumed. Presumably by Crossed Antennae.
The surrounding water splashed onto the ground as it was finally out of the beavers control. Three Squeaks had things he wanted to say to the beaver king but Half Oink didnt seem to be in the mood, as his head was removed from his body a moment later.
Three Squeaks made his way forward, trying to find the princesses. He just managed to spot the lack of natural energy around one- no, both of them, as Crossed Antennae carried the mangled form of her sister. Three Squeaks didnt know what to do, until that form twitched. Only one front leg and one antennae were able to move, but if he extrapolated Fearsome Mandibles was asking if she won the fight.
Yeah you won Three Squeaks said. He reached out his paw for Crossed Antennae to walk onto, then looked around for a good surface. Unfortunately most of the stumps were angled- a problem quickly rectified with Half Oinks aid.
Fearsome Mandibles was in the worst shape, with many of her legs broken- but her tiny body seemed to be intact. Crossed Antennae grabbed her limbs one by one and snapped them back into something like the correct position. Knowing he couldnt help there, Three Squeaks began to help the others bind their wounds.
Fortunately, Meep carried some useful supplies. Thread and needles were a strange concept, but with it the meerkat stitched up the largest wounds on Half Oink. Including the one on her nose, as much as possible.
... Do you think it will leave a scar? Half Oink asked.
Three Squeaks couldnt lie. Unfortunately, yes. It would be pretty horrid, in fact.
Cool. I cant wait to show it off.
It was so easy to forget she was like that. At least she wasnt upset.
Three Squeaks collapsed on the soaked ground. If there were any more beavers, he wasnt sure he could do anything. He just lay on his back, looking up at the sun and trying to absorb its warmth.
What was the point of the fighting? Why did it have to happen? If only they could have figured things out. The beavers just wanted what was best for them but it wasnt best for others. No, it was much worse. Even before they tried to kill the travelers, they were in the wrong.
Hearing the rushing river, overflowing as a testament to the grand- if terrible- work that the beavers had done, he couldnt help but think about what they might have managed if they worked with others. And maybe been a bit more reasonable with their efforts considering how small their population actually was.
He didnt notice as he drifted off to sleep, but something began to ignite inside of him as those thoughts filled him. It would only be in the coming days when he truly formed his twenty-ninth star and stepped into Essence Collection, but it became an inevitable result at that moment.
Meep cuddled up next to him as the sunlight began to warm them, and a warthog and two ants also joined the pile a short time later.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
