Ball of Nothing

In a heartbeat, the moontaur sisters pounced on the unsuspecting horned rabbits. Zero covered his mouth his shaky hands, his eyes widened in horror at the brutal attack. The older sister rammed her horns into Jingo's back. The horns grew in length with her charge and pierced through that pink fur and leather armour. The younger sister charged at Dingo who was wearing a chainmail. The horns could break through the chainmail material but the force was enough to cause some serious internal damage. Dingo spewed blood from his mouth and a metallic tang filled the crisp forest atmosphere.

Dingo picked up a huge broadsword and slashed at the blonde-haired moontaur. She swiftly dodged it by jumping into the air backwards. With no time to be amazed by her agility, Dingo slashed once more. This time, the blonde girl twisted and sprinted so she was now behind the pink rabbit.

Dingo may be strong but the golden-haired sister was fast. They were evenly matched and it turned into a battle of attrition. On the other side, the older sister had already killed Jingo with that one fatal move and was now battling Mingo. Although injured, Mingo proved to be a challenge for the snow-haired moontaur.

Zero watched as both fights progressed. His eyes lingered on the dead Jingo's body and he shuddered. Revenge was a scary thing. So were girls.

Although many things transpired during the fight like the younger sister receiving some cuts and Mingo's right arm being rendered immobile, it concluded quickly. It wasn't very surprising to Zero who the victor was. However, it was scary.

Satisfied that their plan worked out, the sisters rested for a bit to regain their energy. The campfire was still burning and Zero wondered what they would do.

To his surprise, they begin searching the dead horned rabbit brothers' bodies.

"Found it!" the younger sister shouted over her shoulder.

The older sister grinned. She looked tired but relieved at the same time. Zero didn't know what the younger moontaur was holding. The object in her hand looked like a stone. On that stone, there was a small mark that was constantly moving.

"What is that?" Zero asked Mii mentally.

The strawcherry assistant didn't reply immediately.

"It looks like a compass. It's the older version of the tracker in your communicator's map. I don't think it is an ordinary compass though, there is magic coming from it."

Zero didn't leave the tree. He continued to observe the moontaur sisters bury their mother's remains and cut off the rabbits' ears.

"Sister, do you think the chief will accept us back?"

The snow-haired moontaur looked dejected. "I don't know, Layla. I don't know."
