Moonlight spilled across rooftops, casting a serene glow over twolegplace. Scruff perched on the fence that bordered the lush big park with his glazed eyes staring into the midnight skies above. All was quiet and peaceful aside from the occasional chirp of a cricket. It didn't take long for the soft rustling of grass in the breeze to lull the elderly tom into sleep.

The frumpled tabby swayed on his resting place and hovered off-balance. With a slip of the paw, Scruff startled awake and a snore turned into an alarmed "Who's there? I'll warn ya tha' I ain' scared o' nobody.."

Lykaios
Rank: T1 Rogue

("Lycan Language")
("Forest Language")

Lykaios was hungry. The pack hadn't eaten in several cycles of the sun and, with the moon well into its journey across the sky, now was the perfect time to hunt. They'd spread out at early dusk with the silent agreement to meet again before dawn, but it'd taken a surprising amount of time to catch any prey-scent. Now, with the tantalizing taste of sharpclaw scent on his tongue, Lykaios was determined to follow the trail. Oddly enough, he found himself at the edge of yet another longpaw settlement. It was small, but not terribly so. He'd have to remember the way here so he could bring the rest of the pack to scavenge if hunting was slow.

Though, that was but a mere afterthought with the promise of an entertaining chase just a few strides away. Yellowish eyes glinted in the shadows as Lykaios inched closer to the fence towards the sharpclaw, his heart thudding in his chest. It was a weak, scruffy creature - hardly worth the trouble - but it was better than nothing. Besides, it knew he was here, now. With an ominous sort of howl, the golden tom burst from the cover of undergrowth and raced up the tall partition of wood. Before the sharpclaw knew what was happening, he was upon it.

The old tom squinted at the dark undergrowth, unable to make anything out of the blur. Suddenly there was movement in the shadows, another cat leaping up the fence with terrifying speed. Scruff had no time to let out a startled yelp before he felt sharp teeth sinking into his shoulder. "Heavens- Stop tha' would ya?!" he hissed, eyes watering. I'm gettin' too old for tussles..

"You've no manners a' all!" he yowled, raising a sheathed paw high above the rude intruder. "Wha' kind of fella attacks sum'un who's try'na catch some peaceful sleep?" The elderly tom's whiskers twitched irritably before slamming the paw down firmly on the golden tom's forehead. With a tumble, the pair toppled over the fence, landing on the forest grass below. Upon landing, Scruff stifled a sharp gasp as he pulled out a bent paw from under their bodies. Must've landed on it wrong... Struggling up onto his paws, he leaned heavily on his good paws and hobbled away from the yellow-eyed aggressor, pulling into the brush.
