Chapter 36: The Story Continues

"Anyways," Slice continued, "if the leader of the Firebenders is who you're battling, you don't stand a chance."
"What animal is the Firebender leader?" Rusty asked.
"He's a bobcat," Slice responded, "named Ironfang."
There was a long silence. Ash looked at Rusty and Dust.
Suddenly, Dust bursted out laughing.
"A bobcat leading the Firebenders?" Dust laughed. "Wolves are much bigger than bobcats!"
"It's no laughing matter," Stone narrowed her eyes. "I met him before."
"But still, I'll bet we could beat him in no time flat," Dust insisted, "Rusty and I are very strong Benders!"
"Right..." Charlotte chuckled.
They kept heading down the hill. Ash was still very cold.
"Ironfang keeps guards posted at every exit," Slice went on, "so you have no idea what I went through to escape."
"At least you're alive now," Rusty shrugged.
Slice looked at him. "Ironfang almost killed me."
Rusty jumped back in alarm. "What?!" As he stumbled back from the jump, he tripped over a rock and started rolling down the hill.
"Not again...This hill is more dangerous than I thought," Ash commented, running after his friend. He picked Rusty up and put him on his paws.
"Whew...thanks Ash," Rusty nodded.

Author's Note:
My brother created Ironfang, the bobcat. He didn't comment it, but he told me about the character in real life. Rusty's pretty clumsy, don't you think? :3
