Mission:
Akki waits in a tree, scarcely breathing. The band is still searching
the woods below her. How could this have happened? When she thinks of
it, she wants to smack herself. A stoat named Lazybones had been put on
guard duty and he fell asleep on watch. Sighing, she realizes that this
mission has been cursed from the beginning. First, the band kills the
goodbeasts they are after, then they escape. Cursing her bad luck, Akki
begins to think of how to get herself some good luck.
Sneaking through the trees, she comes up above their leader, a one-eyed male named Sullie. Grabbing a dagger, she drops so she is behind him. Putting the dagger to his throat, she yells for them all to stop. Seeing them stop, she sharpens her gaze on them and thinks ‘That was too easy.’ Sure enough, a paw grabs her from behind. There was one behind a tree she did not account for.
Akki whirls on the ferret, slashing the others paw open. Darting back up into the trees, she calls out to the ones below, "I’ll be back. You are mine!" With that, Akki Flameeyes disappears into the treetops. Sitting herself on a branch outside of their camp, she grumbles to herself.
"’Yea, just go get tha woodlanders Akki. C’mon, it’ll be easy ‘n simple!’ Sure, that’s what I thought! Pah. Now, how do I get them? They’ve posted guards and Sullie is well guarded. Maybe if I diverge them with the goodbeasts. How do I manage that…" She trails off, thinking hard. An idea comes to her, she closes her twinkling red eyes and gets a good nights sleep.
Come the morning, Akki stretches and looks at the camp in awe. They’ve packed up and moved on. Dropping to the ground, she picks up their trail and dashes after them. Seeing that the band has headed in the direction that they came from, she realizes that this is all working out for the better. Rearranging her garmets so she looks like one of the band, she takes a turn and heads toward the goodbeasts.
Seeing the band coming through the trees, she jumps into the woodlander’s camp and starts killing beasts around her. As soon as she has gotten their attention, the black ferret runs toward the band of ferrets headed toward them. The goodbeasts follow Akki and the band runs toward her, she is their prey in their eyes.
As the two groups are about to clash, she splits off into the woods, letting them fight each other. Slipping behind the band of ferrets, she sees Sullie, leading from behind as usual. Grabbing him, she quickly ties his paws up and sits him down. "Now, not another peep until I get this cleared up, kapeesh?" Running to the fighting, she quickly breaks through to the main fight and settles it down.
"Now, I started this, I’m gonna end it! Now.." She turns to the woodlanders. "You may stay here, you’re not important anymore, its them I want. Leave now and there need be no more bloodshed." She turns to the band of ferrets, headed by the one-time leader Sullie. "You..you are another story. I have your leader." She gestures to him, bound up in the back. "Come with me. You can get your fighting skills honed and fight for a cause, not just a poor excuse for a leader."
As she walks toward Sullie to take him back to Sampetra, Akki Flameeyes notices that the rest of the band falls into step behind her. Red eyes glinting, she picks up the step, takes them to Sampetra and Emperor Ublaz, where they will be dealt with accordingly.
