A lone otter of substantial size strode threw the woods alongside near a bay where he hid his ship outside ottersfort. "It has been awhile maybe to long." he muttered as he strode through, "I wonder what familiar faces i will see and which ones will recognize me." The otter had been gone for quite some time out on the seas. His kind always felt more at home out on the water and this otters family in particular was often called by its song. On his back he boasted a new longsword as evidence of his adventures. The hilt was was silver but wrapped with worn leather where it was held. A blazing Sapphire was embedded in the the pommel looking like a dragons eyes gazing out. The blade was normal length but was wavy on both sides as if it was made from water, the blued steel helped with that look. "I wonder if they will notice my new toy." he said as he touched the tip of the pommel over his shoulder. "I sure have missed this place I suppose thats why I always return here huh." He listened to the song of the birds as he strode towards the fort but something was not right. He stopped for a moment and listened. His keen ears picked up the sound of vermin and alot of them by the sound of them and they were near Otters Fort! The bold young warrior stood up to his full stature, which was considerable since he has wrestled badgers before and won, and he yelled at the top of his lungs "BY THE SEVEN SEAS I WILL LIVE NO RODENT ALIVE WHO DARES TO TOUCH THE PLACE I HAVE CALLED HOME!" He then let out a battle cry that would have sent a great eagle running ,and charged with a fire in his eyes, and battle hunger in his heart towards the fort to help however he could . The otter warrior from the north Thaddius was back!

Justyn shook his head, closing his eyes in exasperation... 'Of course HE would do that, I mean what's he got to lose anyways.' He thought.
hopping down onto the soft forest floor from his perch he listened to the sounds ringing from the not too far... "heh heh, Aye Thaddi... Too long." He probed his pack and pulled out a pair of dark gloves. He dawned them as he began to run down the forest's open paths to the battle.
'sword... check, knives.... check, staff... not check, no good' quickly sprinting back to a pile of leaves, he scattered them and picked up a small, two foot long pole of wood, he threw it in his bag, and began sprinting back to the battle. 'check.'

Thaddius continued running through the forest at a brisk pace and then stopped quietly at the sound of a snap in front of him. "Vermin never know how to be silent..." he whispered under his breath "let's see if they have ever played with squirrels". Thaddius climbed up the big redwood next to him with surprising agility for an otter but after years at see climbing mast a tree that doesn't sway becomes a breeze. As Thaddius reached the top he heard the sound of a small group of vermin headin his way. He sat and listened intently. He heard them grumbling as they do about bein on patrol and then something else. He heard something so faint he almost missed it, it was the rustle of a leaf barley stepped on not 30 paces from where he crouched up on the bough. "Surrounded? There was none behind me this is a skilled beast.." Thaddius put his back to the tree and blended into the shadows to wait and listen...

Justyn hopped down from and upper branch above Thaddius, "Hello! looks like you got yourself in a bit of a mess huh? need some help?" Justyn grinned, "almost caught me there, probably would have if it weren't for the breeze a few paces back. Haha, just kidding, that was me."
Justyn turned on the branch looking down to the forest floor, either for a decent landing point, or for a lousy excuse for a beast, namely vermin, which was just as good as a decent landing spot.

Thaddius gave his friend a hefty pat on the back" Oh Justyn only you could sneak up on me like that So ready to slay some foul beasties?"

Justyn looked at Thaddius quizzically a moment as the cool breeze stirred the leaves of the forest, and some even floated down and away. "... Who's blade is that?"
A snap sounded off as a stray vermin meandered under the branch muttering something about his lack of a meal. 'Perfect'. Justyn hopped lightly down atop the vermin's shoulders, slamming his fist into the brutes throat. It collapsed from Justyn's weight, and lack of air. Justyn hopped down yet again on the soft floor, snapping the vermin's neck with a violent twist.
He grimmaced, 'why did I do that? I could have just knocked the wind out of him and paralyzed him... It's been too long, it's far easier to kill an enemy than it is to make him submit.' He thought shaking the anger and disgust out of his face, his paws trembling.

Thaddius watched as Justyn dispatched the vermin quickly snapping his neck. It seemed done in a manner unlike Justyn but he thought nothing of it for the moment for danger approached. A group of ten vermin where quickly approaching Justyn with weapons drawn. Thaddius decided surprise is best for this situation so he swung around to the other side of the tree and waited for them to approach.

Justyn heard the sound, ' these vermin really couldn't stay quiet if they wanted to...' he swung around swiftly eyeing the enemies. 'Ten, that was no problem in the past...'
He blinked. Suddenly the memories of his past trauma in war flooded back to him. The day he nearly died aboard a ship with Thaddius and Linx... and Archon too. One second too long. He felt a sudden peirce in his right shoulder. 'This pain's too real, and I wasn't hit in the shoulder...' His eyes snapped open to find an arrow protruding from his shoulder. He noticed that he had missed about five fire support back in the bushes. 'spoke to soon...' He felt like he was falling deeper, and deeper... deeper.
Justyn stood as the enemies approached, they had ordered a halt fire so that they could personally torture this supposed helpless beast. the captain, a weasel with a white scar cut in his chest rammed his spear butt into Justyn's stomach. Justyn bent over double, but something about his manner halted the elation of the vermin. Justyn straightened himself, and with eyes that were rapidly turning more and more red, keenly examined the captain, who, in response, started to lose his nerve. The captain snapped his up again, this time point forward. The spear got about half way up before Justyn's knife butt smashed down on the shaft, with such force that the shaft snapped, in the same moment the other knife's blade was already buried inside the captain, who had only begun to feel it.
Wild and full of rage Justyn dismembered limbs, and dispatched brutally the five vermin closest to him, with the help of his weapons... The wounds of arrows and cuts seemed to have no effect on his performance. Justyn, warrior of the fort, slipped slowly into madness.

Thaddius watched for a moment as Justyn seemed to slip into some kinda blood rage, "When did he pick up that little trick?" Thaddius dropped down behind the remaining five. "Shouldn't make us mad ladds!" Thaddius pulled out his new blade and chopped two in half with a strong sweep. The remaining three started to run away "leavin so soon are you?"thaddius chopped one arm off as it started to run past him. They where scared and sloppy now Thaddius threw his knife at on killing it and let the last one go with his friend who now had only one arm.
"Justyn." Thaddius turned to him and saw something was wrong. "Whats goin on mate?"

Eyes slammed shut Justyn replied, "... I... I don't know." He felt his mind twisted up backwards torn in half, and that was only part of the story, he felt a war going on inside of him, and he was losing control.
"I don't know... Thaddius... you probably shouldn't be near me... I'm... I'm not the same..." His head screamed in aggony, faces of those he had killed flashed vividly in front of his mind's eye. He hated it. He loved it.
His paws smacked against the sides of his head as he kneeled screaming in this new found torture. "aaaaarghh!" He panted for a few seconds, "Thaddius, they had some archers in the bushes, you should go take a look... I'll... I'll be fine."

"Breathe any louder and I'll attack them myself." Thought a stalking dark figure , wiping blood from his wakazashi.

Thaddius looked at Justyn intently as he pulled out his bow placed a single arrow on the string. "We'll get back to this mate a will take care of the vermin." Thaddius turned around and fired at a bush as he heard the rattle come from it. Almost the same time two shot from the bush from flying to ether side of Thaddius and Justyn, but Thaddius' arrow seemed to hit it's mark as a screech came from the bush. "Always where poor shots. 'Specialy when scared." Thaddius quickly released another one hitting another target right as a third vermin shot and ran. The last vermins arrow grazed Thaddius' left calf giving him i nice bloddy cut. "yella bellied sea rat at least there gonefor now "

The rat was almost out of view. He fell, the cause of death unknown. "Pathetic runners, too."

Justyn fell on his back, and turned his head to look at the tree he had just jumped out of. "His pawsteps stopped Thadd... Chieftan? Or worse coming up behind?" Things were refocusing a little now, slowly but surely he got his focus back.
Justyn sat up, looking at Thaddius's sword, "You never answered me, where'd that come from?" he bent over to pick up his bloodied and fallen weapons, now disgusting implements of torture to him. He replaced them in their respective places. "I'm not sure, but we need to be ready." He sighed, and let the warm sun shine on his face warming his whiskers with a little smirk. "... I missed you friend." He frowned, "Ambush Wait" he sketched on the mossy ground with a nearby stick, it took a little longer than talking, but if this new threat was within earshot, it was probably necessary. He wrote it small enough so that anyone across the clearing in front of them couldn't rightly make out what it was. He replayed his last episode as he waited for a reply in his mind.
OOC: Yeah... I'm not really sure where I'm going with this character problem, have any suggestions for cause, then shout 'em out! I've got resurfacing memories, just barely at the subconscious level now as the most likely cause.
