Chapter 6: Bonded By Blood

You’re only safe if you’ve got a mount strong enough to fend off predators- those predators include people like me and Jesse who stalk the roads and paths lookin’ for an easy snatch. Came across a poor lad walkin’ on his own, except he had a funny-lookin’ pet on his shoulder.

“Ha- don’t call him funny looking.” Started Chris, strokin’ the microraptor on his shoulder. I looked at him before continuing. Anyway, he was an African dude without a mount and a bag full o’ valuables on his back. We went to rob him.

“Fellas… Before we begin, do you want to step down?” He began.

“Hand us ya loot, sonny. No need for violence.” Chris finished off the lines. We chuckled. The stranger that we encountered startled whistlin’ and his pet hopped off his shoulder. It spread its wings, and on the sharpest note of the whistle the critter hit me like a bullet and knocked me off of Buck. It was like a ninja, so fast it was almost instant. I pulled out my gun and whipped out its blade slashing at the li’l devil as I tumbled to the ground. I passed out for a couple seconds, and when I woke its owner was at me with a knife. We slashed at each other as I rolled away, leaving identical cuts on our wrists. He put the knife at buck’s throat and demanded our loot.

“Ha! Ya just like us you is. Wanna join our merry band o’ men?” Jesse was offering. I was stunned at first but then I realised that this was just what we needed. Another friend. We shook hands, right where our cuts were.

A blood brother.
