"POACHERS!" MukuMuku awoke with a start. All throughout his troubled sleep he experienced the same terrible dram, over, and over, and over... What happened in it was vivid to MukuMuku, it was SO real. It was almost as if he had expirienced it... NO! He would not think such a terrible thing! He would never, ever, EVER, do such a terrible thing. But enough with that. He needed to leave. He went down and had breakfast. He listened to the gossip he heard, then got up and left. As he past the inkeeper, he could still see a look of anger on his face from telling the mysterious squirrel the sick runemasters whereabouts. Oh well, he thought. What I do, I do, and I should just get over it, and so he pretty much just forgot about it. Outside, Muku decided to cusult the map. Hmm, it said that the biggest city in the city-state was Muse. And he had heard, by listening to the couple next to him at breakfast, that a war was being anticipate. Muku did not like the sound of war, and wanted to see what was really going on, and why. And if any place had political information, it would be Muse. So off he went. As he was going, he noticed a BIG explosion, and many screams. But these were not regular human screams these wer... OH MY!!!! SQUIRREL SCREAMS!!!! A sound he had almost memorized from that terrible reacurring dream. As he went down into the smoldering forest, he saw around a dozen men, and 1 in red armor, who looked as if he were running this opperation. They were all... KILLING SQUIRRELS!!!! He overheard a man and the big man talking. "Do you really think this is right, Jokel?" small said. But Jokel only replied coldly by saying, "Who are you to judge my judgement? OF course we'll get away with it! All we have to do is kill some squirrels, chop off their BEAUTIFUL fur coats (at this MukuMuku shuddered), and go back to Highland and dell them on the black market. You know how much they sell for, and in how high demand they are? We will all get rich. Just look at those squirrels, the are HELPLESS! This is too EASY!" But out of the carnage, out from his hiding place, and came out in front of the two men. Muku didn't use the manipulation rune. He wanted vengeance too badly. When seeing the squirrel, small spoke, "Hey boss, whats up with that funky lookin- but was cut off when hit with Thor Shot from Muku's thunder rune. "Yes, i know where I have seen that emblem before. The Royal family. But why would one be here... He looks armed, and with powerful runes too. I see he has powerful armor, weaponry, and a cape like any good royal warrior would. But this one seems more... Experienced? No, but in his eyes I sense that he has been through more than he knows. Wll, I must get rid of you now," Jokel spoke coldly. "And speak up! Yes, I have a hearing ear rune. The prospect of hearing the terror of the animals I poach sounded good to me." Muku slowly said, "Wh, Wh, WHAT ARE YOU!" "I am a poacher, and a monster to many. My name is Jokel, and I will be the one the one to end yours and your kinships lives," the man sounded almost happy at this prospect. Slowly, Muku thought about how to kill this "poacher". He thought of a spell that he had heard of. pposedly, if he casted Thunder Storm (Thunder Rune) and Final Flame (rage rune), they would combine to make the "Blazing Camp" spell. Yes, he would try, bur first he needed to clear the area of all the living squirrels. So, calling upon the power of all his runes, he "blasted" the squirrels out of the area. Though it would be painful, it would be better thanbeing killed by these terrible men. The men were obviously angered, and suprised, by this. "Squirrel, you will truly regred what you just did!" Jokel spoke with obvious anger and hatred towards MukuMuku "My name is MukuMuku, and if you wish to kill me, then get on with it," Muku spoke in a dignified, yet with hatred toward the poachers. "So MukuMuku is it. I will make sure to put that on your tombstone!" Jokel spoke coldly. Slowly, his group started advancing, but he said, "This is my battle." And the backed of. Last, he spoke, "And now I will kill you, just like I have killed thousands of yo ur squirrel brothren!" And with that, he charged at Muku, laughing. But Muku did the last thing that Jokel ever expected to happen, slowly Muku said, "BLAZING CAMP!!!!!" And using his will power, casted Final Flame and Thunder Storm as if they were one. Suddenly, Jokel yelled, "NOOOOOO!!!!!" But was drowned out as the runes went off. There were thunderbolts EVERYWHERE, but these were not ordinary thunderbolts. THEY WERE FIRE TOO! It was an amazing spectacle, and bright too. All over the area, people were woken up by huge explosions and a GIGANTIC display of lights. Craters were everywhere, and were created wherever the fire-bolts hit. The forest was now a desemated area, full of craters. Muku's rage towards the poakers was only fueling it. He stood poud, not being hurt because he was the source of the runes attack, and was in mild control of it. Muku yelled, "DIE, SCUM! YOU WILL DIE THE DEATH THAT YOU HAVE INFLICTED UPOND SO MANY OF MY KIND!" Slowly, Jokel raised his head from the chaos, wounded severely, and looked at the sky. Time seemed frozen still. Around 30 feet above them, a GIGANTIC fire-bolt loomed, obviosly about to STRIKE the ground. Then time resumed, and it hit. The explosion was the biggest to be witnessed for some time. It dazzled those who watched, and woke up everyone for at least 20 miles away. As it ended, all that could be seen was the biggest crater anyone had ever seen, with forteen bodies sprawled. Slowly, muku got up, weakened by the explosion from the Blazing Camp. He looked dirty, but had been protected by the enchanted armor, and had indeed been protected fully frome the flames furnace-like affects by his Rage cloak. But he had much physical and mental strain, and needed to rest. But he could not rest here, not where so many squirrels have fallen. last, he said, "Now I have avenged my fellow squirrels!" And knew that he had gotten vengeance. As he surveyed his surroundings, he took note on what the Blazing Camp did, and how powerful it was. "Wow," he thought, "this crater must be at least a mile wide." This only complimented the huge power in the attack. Slowly, though fatigued, he took of on a tired flight for Muse, hoping to get there soon so that he could rest. He was just glad that Jokel and his evil poaching ways were gone for good. Meanewhile... Slowly, Jokel got up despite the fact that he was severely wounded, and looked around. He say his mean dead and cursed the name of MukuMuku, "THAT STUPID SQUIRREL WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! FROM NOW ON, I VOW TO HIM DOWN AND KILL HIM!" Jokel laughed at his geneous. For at the last second, he cast Storm Warning, which shielded much of the monumental explosion, t hough not protecting him from some scars that would forever remind him of this. With a weak voice, he said, "No, though he does not know it, I will get that squirrel!" And with that he slowly trudged off towrds Muse, where he could rest up, regain his health, plan how he was going to kill Muku, and get some people to help him.
