User blog:Kytrae Wingblade/The Arrow Has Wings

A huge badger lumbered over to the window. He was silver with a grey stripe down his back and he had a huge broadsword attached to his waist. He was in full armor. "GREYFUR! LOWER TH'FLAG!" The badger roared. "Yes, Lord Kytrae." A big white hare staggered up the tower steps to the flagpole, where the white flag of Lord Kytrae Wingblade the Cruel flew. Greyfur could tell why Ky wanted it down- it appeared to be a flag of peace, of surrender. And Ky hated surrendering. As the flag was lowered, Kytrae saw a ship fast approaching. Good. The badger continued to watch the ship come closer to the mountain. "Silverwing is back!" A hare that was guarding the chamber banged through the door. "My Lord! It's not Silverwing! It's a corsair ship! With Silv as a slave! And they're fast approaching!" Kytrae turned back to the window with a growl of frustration. The ship was sailing around the mountain instead of into it! The badger's eyes glazed over in rage at this false alarm. "Come here, Cytru." The hare approached his master, trembling in fear. The badger lord was not named "The Cruel" for nothing! "Y-yes, m-my L-lor-rd?" Kytrae grabbed the hare by the ears and hauled him out the window. He clung to the windowsill. "My Lord, please! Have mercy! I... I didn't know!" The badger's eyes gleamed hard silver. "Then you can crawl up to Greyfur and the flagpole and replace my flag! No, since I am saving your life, I want you to remake it! With a hard, blood-red background." The hare stuttered, "Yes, my Lord." As Kytrae turned away from the window, Cytru let his grip go. The badger smiled coldly as he heard a splash. Maybe it was cruel of him to threaten his hares into suicide, but it would not be under his leadership that Salamandastron fell apart!
