Thrasher chuckled lowly at his brother's words. "Poor little Redtooth. I suppose being too young to remember when it started is an excuse. I've been ruling in all but name since we took this position. even before. Who do you think persuaded Scimitar to lead an attack on the Tyrannosaurs? He feared them like death because of that elder one, Tornado. He feared him until the moment the life left his eyes. He's always worried that Tornado would hunt him down and get revenge for his family. It was my words, my drive, that convinced him to go through with it. And since the success of that, I've been the one he speaks to of everything. I just decided I'd stop playing games and show everyone who was really in control" he growled as he slowly walked away from the area, gesturing for his brother to follow. "Our enemies feared Scimitar for his power. I crushed him like a gnat. I will crush them as well, if they attempt to challenge me" he hissed finally...
As Crusher walked over to the stream, he licked his fangs and over his lips, before lowering his head to the crystal clear liquid, lapping up several mouthfuls, washing away the blood that had covered his lips, fangs, and plastered against the insides of his mouth, the Rex sighing as he lifted his head from the stream, trails of water dripping down his jaws and off his chin as he yawned, walking lazily over to the cave to rest for the rest of the morning while his body digested his meal, striding into the rocky den and moving to a small dip in the ground where he had collected some dry grass, resting on his somewhat comfortable bed. he dreaded exhaustion. because with each time he closed his eyes, he witnessed the events that had resulted in his life alone. with a reluctant sigh, the Rex lay down, resting his head against a particularly soft patch of the grass, hoping the softness would help calm his mind...
"Scimitar is dead. his son, Thrasher, killed him" hissed a Troodon quietly in the darkness of a massive cave system, a pair of reddish orange, malevolent eyes looking down at it. "Excellent" rumbled the giant before it, as a large slab of meat, easily twice the size of the Troodon itself, hit the ground in front of it, the creature diving in hungrily, amidst praise and thanks to the beast. "You will continue watching Thrasher...and the remnants of the Tyrannosaur family. and you will report to me everything you learn. Am I understood?" rumbled the beast, it's form as black as the darkness around it, the only hint to it's size being the two eyes staring down at the creature, and the space between them. "I understand. It will be done" hissed the Troodon, as two more came out behind it, the trio grabbing the large slab of flesh and dragging it away with them, to take to their starving packmates. Living in one of the most desolate areas of the island meant they had little food to live off. but at the same time, it was the only place where they weren't enemies of every living thing there. they had managed to make themselves enemies of the majority of the major Packs on the island through their network of lies, treachory and exploitation. their actions finally made them enemies of almost everything that knew of them, and hunting for food was no longer possible. They disliked the fact their skills were being used for something else, other than themselves...but it was better than starving to death. plus...the Deal they made would eventually bring back much greater profits, were they to remain loyal. it was a once in a lifetime opportunity...and none of the Troodons in the pack would risk wasting it...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
