"I wish I could... but with him... I cant make promises ok? I'm speaking the truth here, but I will...I will... ok?" Ellich stirred a little on the ground almost like his body telling him to wake. "You go then... you wont be back until dawn. Be carful out there ok?"

"Will do... And good luck with Ellich. Keep it cool." Linx turned and ran without a further word. There was no point in him staying anymore. All he could do now was get to the fort, enjoy his birthday and hope things went well with Aldar and Ellich out here.

Aldar watched Linx leave, not certain of what would happen here. He looked down at Ellich for a while thinking... "Why would Linx love this beast. He almost killed him... I dint get it." Aldar tended the fire for the umpteenth time before Ellich awoke.
"uhh still here...." Ellich sat up then looked around to see where Linx was. "Where'd he go?" Aldar looked at the now awoken Ellich then responded "He left... for his birthday... you wouldn't want to come anyway right?" Ellich thought a bit regretting his decisions... "Yeah you're right...." Aldar took a stick from behind him. "Here I made this for you. It should be easy to...uh... get back." Ellich frowned at Aldar mad at what he had said. "I told you and Linx I'm not coming back.."
"Ellich speak to reason, you need to, one because you need medical attention." Ellich responded with "I know... I just cant.." Aldar frowned. "Why not?"
"Ellich looked at Aldar for a moment and didn't respond. "Well why not?"....."I dint know why really... I feel as if I have nothing there. The place seems as if I should....I...I..." Ellich's eye's closed as he fell face first at the ground. Aldar noticed a dart in the back of Ellich's head... "Oh Hellgates...." A score of rats formed at the clearing armed with darts and knives. There leader stepped forward.. "We take squirrel... make food with him... if you stop us we kill you too... and gobble gobble you up!" All the other rats yelled out a scream at their new found prize.
"Well then, I guess its time to kill me.... you cant have him." "FINE KILL HEDGEHOG!!!!" Aldar unsheathed his sword, it gleamed in the night air. "I wont let you take him, LINX PROMICED ME.... ITS NOT HAPPENING!!!" Aldar charged blade thrusting outward as he screamed his battle cry... "TWINSPIKE!!!" The rats responded quickly and charged leaving their leader behind to watch the battle. Aldar slashed at one in the gut, as it screamed in pain two more went on Aldar. slashing at him. Aldar managed to kill one, but the other slashed at his leg slicing it open. Ten rats were called by the leader to come back. Eight remained. Aldar watched as the leader and ten rats ran off deserting the rest. Aldar killed five more using his spikes for one. Now blood stained Aldar charged at the three remainders. Two fled in fear at Aldars yell, but one remained. It threw its knife hitting Aldar in the shoulder before being hacked almost in half. "Ugh...." Aldar pulled out the knife. The battle seemed to be over.
"Ellich!" At first Aldar couldn't see him, but under a bloodstained rat now at the dark gates was on top of him. Aldar shoved the rat aside. "Ellich speak now!" Aldar pulled the dart out then checked Ellich's breath and heart beat. All seemed to be well and normal. It was then that Aldar fainted, his body couldn't take anymore stress of the heat of battle. He was out of it.
Some time later Ellich awoke to see the snow stained with blood, and Aldar next to him. "ALDAR!" Ellich rolled over Aldar to see if he was alive. Ellich gave a sigh of relief. "He's alive, but bleeding... I need something to stop the bleeding.." Ellich looked down at his own leg. "This will have to do..." Ellich unwound the cloth that was wrapped around his leg. Hardly clotted it oozed out blood when the cloth was completely off. "There..." Ellich wrapped up the wound that was bleeding the most. He then dragged Aldar over to the fire, still going. Aldar spoke half knocked out... "See Linx... I saved him.... he's fine... He'll be fine..." Aldar repeated the same thing over and over in his restless sleep.
Aldar finally awoke half way into the day. "ELLICH!" Ellich frightened flinched as Aldar yelled. "I'm fine Aldar... What happened?" Aldar looked around for a second before responding with one word. "Rats.... Listen Ellich we need to get back, it isn't safe here anymore." Ellich smiled. "This time I agree with you." Both stood up using each other as a crutch. It was a long trip home, but they made it. About a hundred feet out of the fort walls both fell completely knocked out.
Guards took them to the Sick Bay as soon as Possible, no one knew what took place, besides Ellich... and Aldar. By looking it even seemed as if they attacked each other, and thats what the gossip in town ended up being. Ellich attacks Aldar, or "Crazy Squirrel" attacks Aldar was what got around town. no one knew what happened.
