SLICE! Jenner threw himself at Justin in a howl and heave over the cement cluttered and wooden wall of shambles, heaving his sword with ease to swipe and slice at Justin, only to miss as Justin dodged.
"Yes! I killed him!" Jenner snarled "Ive learned this much: Take what you can, when you can!" Jenner stepped his weight forward slicing through the air towards Justin, in an attempt to further injure Justins left arm after the few swings from before slashed his left arm. Justin leaped back, landing onto his hind paws only to slide a few feet back in the mud on the stormy night; the rain coming down as if threatening to drown everyone in the valley. Justin stood there, regaining his balance as he held onto his sword with his right paw, stepping backwards backing away from Jenner.
"And yet you learned nothing!" Justin raised up his sword just enough to hold it straight out in front of him, letting out a small whine and wince as he tried to move his left arm. Looking over, he found his arm sliced open with a deep wound. His attention turned back to Jenner in an instant as he suddenly caught him in a vulnerable heavy swing; Justin lunged his jagged beaten sword forward, puncturing Jenner right in the stomach.
"Gahhh!!" Jenner let out a grueling howl in pain as he quickly dropped his position, dropping his sword to immediately double over and grab at his stomach and stumble back almost on his knees. Justin watched on at the cowering once fellow rat, tossing his sword to the side before approaching the audience group of rats and mice. He steps up on to a small broken wooden wench.
"Friends... Tonight we journey in search of a new safer place to make our home. It is too dangerous with the humans catching onto us. We-..."
"Justin!!" an audible gasp could be heard and attention quickly circled to a female field mouse who was poiting up towards behind justin where the high tall standing stone was. Everyone turned quickly to see none other than Jenner at the top of the stone ledge, his sword readied behind him as he readied to leap off to deal a powerful strike to Justin.
Jenner let out a sudden squeal and howl and his eyes went wide as he suddenly screamed for a moment from what seemed like horrific pain; stumbling forward on the cliffed stone only to fall off and take a gruesome fall and landing to right in front of the rock only a few steps from justin. Jenner landed with an audible thud as he hit the muddy ground below through all the rain, which had lightened up greatly. He lay face first in the mud and it was imnediately apparent that he was dead on impact and the group suddenly started to chat in whispers of questioning bouts about what they noticed. As Jenners body lay face down in the mud it was immediately noticed at close look that there was a large knife protruding right from the rats spine.
Everyone looked around for someone to come forward, though it was definate that they had just saved the new leader of the colonie of rats, though no one came forward. It took everyone by surprise. Who?- was the question. Who's knife was it? Where did they go after doing the good deed against the rat that had a lust for power? No one showed themselves... but it was now all over, and it was time for the rats with their new leader to start a journey in search of a safer place to settle and live.
