บท 4: Revelation
As the rain continued to fall, the tension grew for there was a new contender among them. This one was not the blind or so it was believed. The sun hidden away from rain clouds proved to be a ominous omen.
Many were gathered but few seemed to be restless, the talk of possibly moving made many weary. Crusher thought that it was a right call only due to the situation at hand. There were few within their ranks, and it was not like the blind would become unblind quickly. This was a massive decision, not that it will sit well with others.
"This is a serious discussion.", spoke Crusher who stood tall and confident. The power he held made many feel safe while others disliked how he ran things. Those who gather or eat vegetation have already made plans to move out. The separation between them would always remain, old scars would sometimes never heal.
Scarface watched small groups gather things, they were clearly leaving ahead of them. Devastate showed nothing as he stared at Crusher. Was this a right call? Probably not. The leader decided that it was best to move and they had to follow him. Of course disagreements would always happen.
"Why because one brute showed up?", came a hissing voice.
Scarface frowned only cause he knew who it belonged too. That individual was known as Sawtooth. This behemoth was a fish eater, and was classed as a spinosaurus. His long snout was full of deadly looking teeth, and his arms were long with sharp talons.
Sawtooth and Crusher had fought it out once beforehand, only to see which would lead the clan. The large scar upon his neck was a reminder of who won that fight. Crusher looked at Sawtooth silently, the trike crown lowered as his eyes locked onto Sawtooth. Scarface didn't really care for Sawtooth only cause he was a no good demon.
"This brute is not like us, besides this camp isn't safe. We have to think of the future.", responded Crusher as he stared at Sawtooth.
The future that was a unknown time for them, yet it sounded like a new start. To get away from those who are blind and actually work together to make something. That was a dream. Of course that meant that they would have to work extra hard to make it there. As well as remain alive long enough to see the dream become reality.
Blind beasts were everywhere, danger was all around them. Seeing the dream become a reality may never happen either for they all could die. Sawtooth gave a crooked smile, the armor upon him were of bones much like everyone else but he had what looked like blue colors that were painted upon his massive frame. Large fangs dangled from around his neck, obviously from crocodiles he had killed.
"The future is a bloated carcass if you ask me?", snickered Sawtooth as he gave Crusher a demented grin.
Crusher merely seemed unfazed by the words spoken by Sawtooth. "We are moving, so gather things you can carry."
Sawtooth blinked and glared sharply before turning away in a loud snarl. Scarface sort of smiled watching the behemoth stalk off in a pout. Devastate glanced at Scarface before looking away.
"Stay in small squads. Follow the trails and scents.", spoke Crusher as he watched many move to gather what was necessary for the move.
Scarface looked at Devastate as he asked, "Wanna be in my squad?"
Devastate snorted but he nodded nonetheless, this of course made Scarface smile as he said. "Better than being with sunshine huh?"
Devastate knew who he was talking about and he huffed in a light laugh. Scarface moved to gather things to take with them upon the move. The so many bones and food were very important.
Scarface blinked at a utahraptor who was alone, this was some what surprising since some raptors stay among themselves. Devastate had cargo upon his back and looked ready to head out as he walked away. "Should we have him join us?", he asked Devastate.
The large cranium that belonged to Devastate looked back at the utahraptor, he looked away not at all interested. "No, raptors are more likely to screw you over."
Scarface looked at the utahraptor as he said, "But they can be useful."
The utahraptor was fairly like the rest, the feathers upon his being were a dark brown almost black color. Bright red feathers covered his head and nape sort of like a mohawk. This raptor was not like the rest for he was alone watching the other raptors move around in the camp. Scarface looked at Devastate again who grunted in light annoyance. "Ask him, but I'm telling you he is going to screw us over."
Scarface looked at the utahraptor as he approached, as he did the raptor looked at him with sharp piercing eyes. "Wanna join our little squad?", he finally asked.
The utahraptor looked up at him silently before looking at the other raptors. There was a thoughtful look upon his face as he thought about it. "You sure your buddy doesn't mind?" His tone was a little sharp obviously given hint to knowing how the rex felt.
Scarface looked a little surprised, course he was certain that he heard what was said since they were a few feet away from him. "I am sure he will turn around."
The utahraptor stared after the rest of his kind before moving to face him. "Fine." After his words did he turn to the side as he picked up some small bones that were wrapped in vines that he slung over his right shoulder. Scarface was impressed by the raptors cunning, he obviously had skill to do that with tree vines. Scarface looked at Devastate who walked ahead of them, his large cranium was lowered as he walked.
"What do they call you?", asked Scarface looking at the utahraptor.
The raptor didn't say anything at first but as he shrugged did he say, "I'd rather not share my name."
Scarface looked at him silently before nodding, he looked around still seeing many gathering things. The clearing they had used as a camp was just about empty, the only thought now was where were they going. Small squads like this meant that many would be separated which was not a good thing.
A whole clan traveling together was a excellent idea for it repelled many from attacking. Perhaps, the reason for small squads was that the leader wanted to see who was following his command and who wasn't. He didn't know what the leader thought but he sure had his way of doing things.
Following Devastate did Scarface look at the utahraptor following them. There had to be a reason for him to want to stay away from his own kind. There must be a reason why right? Thinking about it further he knew that raptors did things their own way.
By the time they moved out, the rain was finally slowing down. The terrain was still very wet due to the rain, and it brought a muggy cold with it. They would have to follow the trails of others for the scent was pretty much useless at this time. Devastate was ahead of them, he clearly didn't want to be next to the raptor. Scarface looked between Devastate and the raptor in silence. Everyone had different points of view.
It was hard to believe that everyone within the clan use to be blind themselves. Since they became conscious of their own mind they now had to work with others who they never thought they would work with when they were blind. Clearly it was a extreme change for some, and as such they would try to cling to their old ways. Crusher was a prime example of this for he showed concern of the clan mentally but he would stay away from them physically.
Devastate stopped having picked up a sound, Scarface blinked having his thoughts disrupted. The raptor looked at the general direction of the sound and he said, "It is just one individual."
Scarface looked back at him quite stunned, it was a good thing that they brought him along though he was certain Devastate would say otherwise.
"My we have a intelligent hunter on our hands?", responded the voice that closed in.
Devastate blinked as the large brute from before appeared from the side of the brush, the tattoos upon his frame gave hint to who he was. Scarface stared at him with a strong yet serious expression.
"Pardon my earlier encounter with you all, I merely wanted to test your skill.", he spoke as he looked at Devastate.
Scarface looked at Devastate in a glance before looking at the strange brute. "Who are you?", he asked glaring.
"My name is Baldur, and I am looking for worthy beasts.", he spoke with a voice that seemed hard to decipher.
Scarface didn't like the sounds of it, and as he looked at Devastate did he blink in surprise.
"Worthy?", responded Devastate.
Baldur had a eerie look within his eyes, the smile on his maw seemed very uninviting. "Yes, I believe you are worthy."
Scarface looked at Devastate as he spoke up, "You're not serious are you?"
The raptor frowned staring at Baldur, he looked at Devastate and Scarface. "Do not take his words seriously."
Baldur looked at the utahraptor with a blank look though his claws twitched silently. Devastate looked at Scarface before looking at Baldur, he however glared lightly once the utahraptor spoke. "I'm listening."
Baldur smirked at Devastate, the flick of light that happened behind his eyes looked ominous. "I'm glad you are."
Scarface looked beyond surprised as Baldur approached, coming closer to Devastate. "I heard you speak of not liking how things were run, I've watched you glare at the leader from afar."
Scarface glared, "You don't know him."
Baldur smirked at Scarface and glanced at the raptor, "I clearly do. Didn't he spoke of not liking raptors yet you still went against him?"
Scarface blinked fast, did Baldur watch their every move? He must of for him to know these things. The raptor glared with his fangs bared, "If you have any brains at all you won't be reeled in by his words"
Devastate looked back at Scarface and he glared at the raptor, "If you ask me he knows me very well."
Baldur smirked wider as he lifted his right claw and slashed at Scarface. That instance was fast as lightning, the ripping sound of flesh occurred as Scarface lost footing. The ground slippery from the rain made contact with Scarface's side as he slid down a large slope. The raptor quickly moved after Scarface as he fell, to leave him alone and wounded was out of the question since blind beasts were everywhere.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?!", roared Devastate having seen his comrade fell before his very eyes.
"He wasn't worthy.", spoke Baldur who smirked at Devastate.
