Probitas:Tales of Innocence

[Retane]

Wolves and Raptors. The young namekian had never seen one before, though he had heard tales of them. The symbol that their father had adopted was actually a wolf, itself. Probitas pondered what the reason was, as he tried his bet to keep up with the shinobi on foot. The son of Retane was shorter and his speed was not up to par with the seasoned ninja, but Asuma seemed to keep a slower pace for him.

Far in the distant direction they were heading, the Ambassabor of the Horsemen could hear the combination of growls, roars, cries and screams of an inhumane nature. Probitas began to question if this was a mistake, but he was suppose to be his father's son and what if someone needed his help? The young namekian hardened his resolve and pushed on trying to run faster.

"Don't worry", Asuma called. "It will be ok. We've had to deal with this a few times already."

"Why are they having territorial issues", the young namekian questioned.

"They are both proud animals, each one wanting to be the more dominant. Wanting to be higher on the food chain I guess you could say." Asuma had a calm answer, but Probitas thought there was something he wasn't telling him. Maybe it even bothered the sensei.

"How big is this place exactly?" The son of Retane had an idea.

"It's pretty big. We use jutsu to make it so, even though it doesn't look that big on the outside", Sarutobi-sensei answered. "Why do you ask?"

"If they are proud and territorial, then maybe they are having issues about being locked up. If they are vying for being on the top then maybe they think they think the food supply is limited and they are vying to survive, right?"

Asuma gave a nod, "Exactly."

The young Ambassador thought for a few moments, "Has anyone tried explaining it to them?"

"Ha! If it was only that easy." Asuma let out another little chuckle. "They aren't really open to civilized communication when it comes to us ninja."

"Why not?" Probitas eagerly awaited the answer but after a few moment's he realized Asuma wasn't going to give him one.

"See for yourself. We're here!" Asuma pulled up to a stop waving a hand to signal the young Namekian to do the same.

Probitas looked on to see a handful of ninja, Garoki included, standing off to the side, but in between two creatures. One was a rather large grey wolf. His hair stood up on it's neck and as he looked in their direction, and issued a long low growl. The young namekian saw that the old majestic creature was on edge and tried to offer a sincere smile. Probitas saw pain in the eye of the wolf, noting that his left one had closed from an old wound. It almost looked as if he had been bitten in the eye from the scars over it.

On the opposing side was a reptilian creature that stood on it's hind legs. It's tail was nearly as long as it was tall. The Ambassador of the Horsemen knew that it was a raptor. It turned it's head to eye the two before putting it's head in the sky and making a call that nearly sounded like barking. The namekian watched as the scarred wolf raised it's head and howled. The two continued the spectical for a few moments and the son of Retane knew that they were calling for assistance.

He looked around, waiting for more of both to show, realizing that while the situation was hostile, it was about to get much worst.
