What do all these have in common?
All from animal's point of view.

Now it's our turn, Inkies!

There are animals within the forest that envy humans. They want what humans have and will do anything to get it. They wish to start war against humans.
There are those that wish to defend humans. To fight those that wish to harm. To help humans and come out of hiding.
The humans have their own problems, already within a war that rages the country side.

Though mainly an animal chat, you can have a human either involved in the war or as a victim of the war. Animals can talk to humans, but its very looked down upon by those who would like to stay more traditional.

This is in the Past! Let's say 1200s or so. Swords and shields, no guns.
Europe, Black Forest in Germany is our setting
Repeat animals are allowed...just don't go crazy. Two/three of a kind tops

The Good Folks
Cass's ears pricked up, carefully listening to the noises of the forest as she walked, trying to pick out on voice from the many. Shadowy trees make her light tan coat seem like a ghost in the slight early morning fog. There was a distinct scent to the air, and as she approached the smell of old burnt wood became apparent. Trees thinned and she stood on the outskirts of a field, the last wisps of smoke slowly rising up from the burnt human dwelling.
"Those soldier men came through last night," a voice flitted down from the trees. Cass looked up as Scout jumped down to a lower branch beside her, splaying his bluish black wings for balance. "Seems like humans want to destroy themselves without animals helping."
"Animals should not even try," she answered, sitting after a moment at the base of the tree. "Leave humans to their own matters."

The Bad Folks
Ursus sat in silence in the small clearing within the forest, studying all that was around him with a scarred eye. The call had been sent a while ago by his followers. It was time to see who would step up and fight the humans.
"Really think they'll come?" Zan called down, laying high up on a branch in a pine tree.
Ursus closed his eyes. In a low and slow voice he said, "Quiet Zan. They will come. Too long have we put up with the human's destruction. It is time we claim what is ours." The tone, though slow, had an edge to it, slightly threatening in nature.
Movement in the brush makes him open his eyes again, looking over the land with a serious and foreboding glare. They were here. Finally.

The Good Folks.
"I find their matters funny," Ada said curiously, twitching her nose and trying to see up over the grass. She restored to climbing up onto Cass's furry shoulder to look out. The village beyond was such a quire place. She'd often secretly wandered over there to nibble around its gardens.

The Bad Folks.
Sabastian slunk out of the brush to join the group. Humans wouldn't know what hit them. He grinned slyly, looking over his shoulder.

"Bah, a little mouse? What would you know of it?" Scout asked, tilting his head questioningly at the little thing on her shoulder.
"Quiet now, Scout. No need to fight." Cass stood again, cautiously looking around. The scent of human is still strong, making her uneasy.


Ursus looked upon the new comer with a serious eye, not betraying anything on his face.
"Someone then. But just a fox. You sure you've got some soldiers coming along?" Zan taunted from the tree, slinking down to a lower branch.

Ada gave a sly little smile and twitched her nose. "They make cheese."

Sabastian twitched his tail. "Just a fox?" he said cooley. "I'll have you know you're lucky to have me. I'm the best undercover man you'll find, just a fox! Bah."

Demetre took the first watch. He walked back and forth and back and forth again. His mind was wondering from him and to the humans then back to him.


Megan woke up in a prison. "What the...." SHe looked around. "How the heck did this happened?" SHe asked more to her self then to anyone.

Cass shifted her weight from paw to paw before starting through the field. "Scout -"
"Do my thing, got it," he teases. He unfurls his wings and jumps from the branch, taking off ahead and flying over the village in slow circles, surveying the burnt remains of the houses.


Ursus looked over to the pacing wolf with his scarred eye. A fox. The sole addition to them right now. "Pace anymore, Demetre, you'll wear a path to the dirt."

Demetre sighed and looked at the fox. "Well what shoudl I do then?" He asked.

The Good Folks

Lennox
I swooped through the air, not really doing much of anything. I didn't have a set destination, or really a purpose for being here... I merely liked flying. I did a corkscrew for the fun of it, spotting some animals gathered down below. Curious, I headed down towards them and lighted silently on a branch.


The Bad Folks

Sorrel
I trotted through the forest at a light pace, my tail swishing as I walked. I was already rather late... Ah, it didn't really matter as long as I got there, right? And there they were now.
"Hello," I greeted. "Sorry, sorry. Here I am."

Scout spots the new comer, cautious of the falcon at first. But his intent doesn't seem hostile really. He hesitantly approaches the falcon, staying a cautious distance from the preditor. "Friend. What goes with you?" he asks curious.

Ursus looked up at the horse. Finally a heavy weight. "It's nice to see you here in anycase," he says slow, in his deep voice.

Lennox
I gave a shrug, not really sure how respond in that same formal manner. I never knew how to be formal to be honest. Made me feel awkward...

Sorrel
"The same to you," I said with a nod. "What have I missed?"

Scout blinked a moment, looking down at the village again, unsure of what to say.


Zan made her way over to another tree, laying down on a branch over Demetri. "Don't bother with him. he's always cranky..."
Ursus ignored this quiet comment. Zan just being Zan again... "Nothing of extreme inportance. Simply the other new comer." He looks over at the fox again.

Lennox
"So...er," I started awkwardly, "what happened here? I mean, the war yeah, but...um... What side is this?"
So inarticulate...

Megan felt ackward in the cell. "What happened?"

"Just the humans," Scout answered. "I'm not sure any animal could have done this. Cass wanted to look though; I'm making sure the place is empty." He looks back at the light tan lynx making her way through the field, only going where he had already flown over. Always the cautious sensable one. Scout shakes his head a little, going back to scowering the black village for any movement.

Megan sat up in her cell and wrapped her legs to her chest. She remeber animals comming after her and her family. Her family got away but a wolf got her and the wolf bit her leg.

Where is Megan? And the animal war hasn't started yet. It's a human battle that burned the village down. Love to incorperate you somehow but I don't know where you are

((She is in a barn so far....))
