"You have the cooperation of the Paledon race," the queen said, "We shall rally the other races and form as much of a coup against the Vessh'Kul as possible. Even the Hyenides do not wish for this land to be infested with parasites from the dark flames."

Tharn lowered his head in respect, "Thank you, wise one. Our Chieftain should be here soon. He will come with aid for this planet in this time of peril. The Drakens never seek to start a war with another race, but would rather help it instead. We only fight those who halt our efforts to stop the Vessh'Kul."

The queen nods in ackowledgement, "We, too, strive to settle matters in peace. But we also understand there are those who shun it in favor of devistation as a means to force their point of view onto us." she bows to Tharn, "Now, we must part and prepare ourselves for battle. I wish you luck rallying other races to aid your cause."
She turns around and walks off, the herd following close behind.

Tharn sheathed his axe as he turned to his men, "Alright, Drakens. We march! Burn the dead, I don't want the Vessh'Kul getting their claws on those corpses!"
The Draken soldiers let out a battle roar before pulling out plasma torches. They began to spray the dead bodies, obliterating the remains.
Tharn reached into a satchel on his side and pulled out some herbs. He crushed them between his fingers and sprinkled the dust into the wind. He uttered a short prayer before continuing the march.
The soldiers followed closely behind, their weapons at the ready.

"You may have another enemy to deal with," said a voice from behind the troops. A Lionel stands behind them with his arms crossed. His mane is only just growing in, reaching as far as his chin, and tied back in a tight ponytail. He wears a white robe and scarf, with gold borders around the corner, his sleeves platinum with bronze cuffs, and has a cape drapped above his ankles with the symbol of the Beast World, and a caveman-like drawing of a running buffalo.

Tharn turned his attention to the Lionel and made his way towards him. He placed his hands on his hips and eyed him, "Why do you say that? Do the Lionel wish to stand in our way?"

"The Lionel do not wish to wage war on the Fire-Breathing Lizagators," the Lionel said, "No, the main concern is the threat endangering the land of the forest. The Pointy-Eared Baboolons only wish to force the future generation into a life of slavery. I know your chief intends to bridge their alliance with the Pointy-Eared Baboolon, and I fear will not care enough about the severity of the situation to include themselves in this war."

"So the elves are kidnapping children? Aye... I see," said Tharn, "If push comes to shove... The Draken will defend your planet. Even though we are separated by the stars, the spirits of the earth connect us."
Tharn placed his claw across his chest, as a salute, "We Draken will stand by the people of this planet. We won't let any harm come to those who respect the spirits by those who recklessly try to command them."

Hot-Blood nods in respect, "As much as I dislike having such filth treating our worlds like livestock, given the Vessh'Kul have already slipped under the winds of the spirits, it would seem we will need all the help we can get. I suggest if simple negociations don't raise what little hair is standing on their heads, we resort to intimidating them; telling them the cunningness of these insects and what could happen if they take them too lightly. It may not get them to ally with us, but perhaps it might reduce the number of large, Shiny Thunderclouds that will come here and force our people to give up their children in exchange for their lives."

"Which is why I plan to not kill the new hive's queen until the time is right," said Tharn, "If the elves understand the cunningness of the Swarm, then they will try to avoid them at all cost. I want to capture the hive's queen, and bring her to the elves. The Swarm will follow after their queen, causing the elves and Vessh'Kul to clash."

Hot-Blood strokes his long chin in thought.
"A clever idea. With both enemies too busy driving one another to extinction, our lands will not have to fret raising their children into an era of slavery and torment."

"Yes, and once the elves see the Swarm, they will believe this planet to be lost, and never return," said Tharn, "Everyone near the bulk of the elven forces should flee. The Vessh'Kul will rampage from their nest, killing all in their way in order to save their queen," said Tharn.

Hot-Blood nods in understanding.
"Here's hoping it will work," he said, placing his hands together a few inches below his lion snout.

Tharn placed his arm across his chest and nodded at Hot-Blood, "Azzo'ala terran alo'barei," said Tharn, "May the spirits of the earth watch over us."

Hot-Blood nods again before disappearing in a flash of light.
