Risking a quick glance at Whiron to see if both of his opponents are still standing may cost him half of a second; but if both of Whiron’s are up, Jalakaag will charge one of them; if not, he will step over to his closest enemy to kick him while he is down. “You are not getting your way today...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. The battle looks something more like an odd game than a matter of life and death. All three people are continually moving because their primary means of attack is the use of a projectile. The witch continues to prove to be quicker than either young man...

Having launched their harpoons, the gangers then choose to use their launchers as clubs. They do make effective clubs, being twice as thick as a person’s thumb. The first boy, who had been previously thrown into the mud, begins to regain his feet as Jalakaag slams into a second, albeit not as...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. Finally able to face the witch that the two young men had been chasing for days, the task at hand is not as assured as was suspected. Though the woman looks to be physically inferior, she proves to be rather quick of mind and assaults the two before they...

Jalakaag is pleased by the effectiveness of his first attack but hurt and angered about being stabbed with a sharpened piece of cane. Knowing full well that the other boy cannot use his harpoon a second time, he tries to ignore his wound and slam into the one who stabbed him, hoping to knock him...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. Though the robe of the figure is a plain brown, the quality appears to be very good. He reaches up and pulls back the cowl, revealing his face. He looks much like Jaguar Mahoao but older and a bit thinner. His voice is richer and deeper than expected. “I am...

Cycle: 502, Day: 251, Season: Shiftings Reacting faster than any of the gangers, Jalakaag charges into the one nearest him, knocking him from his feet and sending him backward a full four strides. The four other boys have no idea that he was able to generate a pulse of air to aid in his assault...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. NOTE: Jaguar is now able to use Corrosion instead of Ionize, which is more damaging. Both wolves attack simultaneously, one at each young man; however, Whisper proves to be quicker on the readiness. Timing the jump of the wolf, he strikes it with both...

Jalakaag clenches his fists at his side. “You boys need a lesson in manners. I am happy to give it.” He charges at the boy nearest, hoping to slam into him and knock him backward. 9, 10 + 3 = 13

Though only adolescents, the four boys bore the scars on their left forearm that indicated their affiliation and each carried a crude harpoon similar to the ones that Jalakaag and Whiron had made. Their hats were adorned with a few feathers and their waists with the bones of tiny animals. The...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. The woman sneers from her elevated perch. “Looks like you are having a little difficulty making a decision. It is really of no consequence. The offer was not genuine, anyway. I was always going to feed you to my wolves while I watch.” She gives a command for...

Jalakaag smiles at the words and quicker thinking of his friend. Looking at the four boys, he thinks that he is much stronger than any of them and could probably tackle one and choke him out, but that will take too long. If they decline the offer, he will try to knock one of them into the water...

Finishing their respite, the two boys walk beyond the congested clusters of shanty housing following a , now familiar, path. Having never before considered the matter, the living conditions of the Flats is appalling. Even in such oppressed conditions, many of the residents adhere to a further...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. Quickly ending the other two acolytes, the young men follow the somewhat obvious path taken by their sought enemy. The witch had followed an elevated path through the swamp. The path was straight, but there was standing water on each side. It does not seem...

As usual, sitting under the shade of the Pavilion, enjoying a bowl of rice with meat, Jalakaag converses with his friend. “I like the process of catching fish better than setting snares, especially if we get into an area that is more sandy and less muddy. I really am tired of being covered in...
