Crimson and Sky (part 8)
(WARNING: This part is actually kinda violent)
“Attack!”
Creatures of all the magical clans suddenly launched into battle, their claws unsheathed and teeth bared. Aqua shoved Sky to the ground, raising a unsheathed paw. Sky hissed and kicked up with her back legs, turning away from her grasp and scratching her claws over one side of the Clan of Water’s ruler. The ruler snarled and brought her teeth down onto Sky’s bushy tail. The Cloud ruler yowled and brought her paw down on her head pushing her to the ground. She kicked Aqua harshly and ran somewhere else onto the battlefield. She recognized Frost-storm and Gray with a Clan of Forest creature attacking multiple other creatures on the opposite clan, their eyes wild with hostility.
Suddenly, a harsh bite in Sky’s side made her howl in agony and fell to the ground. Seaweed was attacking, raising both of her treacherous paws to swipe at her. Sky braced herself, but felt nothing. She looked up to see Seaweed yowling in the air as Crimson tossed her up and hit her into the ground. “keep going!” He hissed to Sky as she raced off deeper into the field. Suddenly she saw Lightning, shuddering in fear as a tall Clan of Water creature approached her with unmerciful eyes. Sky screeched and leaped onto his back, clawing at his scales and pulling him down, “hide in the trees!” Sky told the horrified Lightning. Shuddering, the small creature dashed up into the trees.

Pastel hit the ground hard, her breath being knocked out of her. A yellow and cyan scaled Clan of Water creature had knocked her down, and was biting her ear until it felt numb. A flash of dark gray suddenly came by and was clawing the creatures ears until, it also yowled for mercy. It was Frost-storm, who had long scratches down her pelt and forelegs. She let the creature loose and it dashed off into the forest with a long yell. “Serves you right!” Frost-storm yelled after her. She helped Pastel to her paws and ran off with her tail streaming after her.
Pastel split up from her to help Gray, who was fighting two Clan of Water creatures. She took the side of one and knocked their back legs from under them, she pinned held them down but didn’t hurt them, she noticed he was unharmed and small. “Run back to your camp. I won’t hurt you.” The young creatures eyes showed a mix of hostility and thankfulness. He gave her a look, and Pastel let him loose into the forest.
A few of these creatures are to small to be here!
Pastel came to two horrified Clan of Water creatures and soothed the with a soft voice, “I won’t hurt you okay? C’mon let’s get you out of this war.” The two creatures were horrified and their eyes were overflowed with anxiety. They swiftly followed her and murmured ‘thank you’ to her as they reached the end of the small field and ran off into the forest.
Suddenly the rest of the Clan of Water thundered away, only leaving Aqua there. The fearsome and scratched ruler glared at the two Clans, “You’ve won this battle! But that doesn’t mean we won’t get our revenge!” She yowled with her teeth bared. She leaped over a fallen branch and ran into the forest, hissing.
Pastel looked around at the field, everyone was helping each other and pulling other creatures up into the trees.
“Gray! Frost-storm!”
Pastel pushed her way through the crowd until she saw the wounded Clan of Cloud creatures. She brushed her tail along her friend’s side. “Are you okay?” She asked.
Gray nodded, but looked toward Frost-storm worried. “She launched herself onto a really tall Clan of Water creature. I’m sure he was gonna turn her into a sea-snack.” He snarled. But Frost-storms eyes showed with challenge and bravery. “But you saw how I attacked his legs! I don’t think I needed your help, brother!” She laughed.
Gray sighed, “if I hadn’t leaped in, I’m sure he would’ve turned you into a pretzel.” He muttered lowly.
(Well this was a long part! Sorry about that.)
