Stray Leader POV
"SILENCE" I screamed
I am honestly losing patience with them. The skeletons called war on us and they don't even seem to care.
"As you all know, the skeletons want war on us" I proceeded, "So, we decided on the nearby spruce mountain. It's nice and cold, and also well wooded, so if the battle goes into the daytime, they won't burn"
A few of them groaned
"Hey!" I yelled, "We get a cold environment so we don't burn, they deserve some protection as well, no matter how awful they are"
"When's the battle, anyways?"
"Tonight"
Gasps everywhere.
"We can do this! Now, everyone to your posts!"
Just like that, they all left the igloo and sprawled out all over the tundra, fending off players and whatnot.
The night was growing closer.
We all went up the mountain. Slowly, but surely, the skeletons started joining.
Skeleton Leader POV
Me and the army climbed up to the top of the mountain. The strays were already there. I looked at their leader... I got the death stare.
I stepped forward to speak.
"Now, as we all know, this is the battle of the century. One of the most important battles ever in mob history" I announced, "Make it count. May the best species be victorious"
It was unbelievable. Everyone started shooting. Dodging stray arrows, I saw my best friend get shot with a poison-tipped arrow.
I helped him off the battle zone. I could tell he was sick.
He gagged and collapsed to the floor.
He was dying. My best friend was dying at the hands of a Stray.
He looked up at me weakly.
"I... love... you..." He managed
The same Stray jumped down and shot him dead.
I felt rage fill my body. I wasn't thinking clearly when I killed him. The Stray.
I couldn't believe it. I killed someone. I felt awful. I went back to the battlezone. Dead members of my army and of the Stray army were everywhere.
I saw the last few Strays and Skeletons kill each other. A moment in time I will never forget.
Me and the leader looked at each other. We drew our bows.
"Surrender?" I asked
"Never" He responded
So... I shot him dead...
You know, he's always been stubborn. He made the decision to leave the skeletons and become a Stray and stuck with it.
Still, I just killed him.
I killed my brother.
