Trotzen needed a doe. But what about her mate? Palugit sighed. Looks like there would be a bit of murder. But worth the effort. Palugit narrowed her eyes. This plan could work. Just then she remembered something. Cervola, Sterk and Poza, they would see Trotzen today. She had two chocies, become leader of Trotzens herds by tricking Ronno into gaining Trotzens trust, or let Trotzen meet a bunch of weird Vita deer? The answer was obvious. Trotzen would meer the Vita deer, for they would also prove to be useful, and Palugit ccould quite easily trick them, and set them up .... 

Ronno stood, watching the confused doe. Who knew, his plan had worked, but mabye Swift tail had over done the scars.....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palugit had also noticed the sun rise, and sat watching it. 

" Your magisty, three new deer are here to meet you" Palugit forced a sweet smile. 

" Palugit call me Trotzen, as you all may" He added, interupting Sterk, who was just about to speak. 

" I'll leave you alone Trotzen" Palugit turned and left. 

Trotzen turned watching the doe with intrest. Even he needed a doe, and he had picked out severel possibilitys. 

" Begin your story" Trotzen gestured to three deer to sit and let them begin. 

After all three deer finished their stroy, Trotzen agreed to let them stay in the herd, as long as there was no fighting for

" There is already one war going on, I don't need another. " He commented. The Vita deer agreed, and went to the  meadow to mingle with the other white tails. 

Palugit saw this as her chance, and made her way towards Trotzens den, where he stood. However, large bucks stood guard at the bottem of the den.

" HALT!!! Who goes there?" The largest guard asked. 

" Palugit" 

" Not royalty, get out of here!" The guard pushed with his antlers as a gesture for Palugit to leave. She felt offened, but she left. Now she meant it, it was time to unleash her master plan. Palugit ran across the meadow, her hoofs barley touching the wet grass that made her hoofs cold and muddy.

I'm doing this for you mother ... and you Swift tail. Palugit worked for Swift tail and had a crush on him, and Swift tail promised to make her his doe if she desrtoyed the other side, so she would become leader of one herd. And If Trotzen fell in love with her, then It was a bounus, and she would rule both herds, although she did not care in love about Trotzen, but fancied Swift tail. Whislt mulling over these thoughts, Palugit stopped short. There was a glint in the distance, a gun. That meant man. Palugit ducked down in the grass, the wet drops of rainwater brushing against her dry fur. Man had torches. Perfect. Palugit let out a loud whiny, and ran back to Trotzens herd.  Half way there she tripped on a rock, and cut her face, leaving a scar on her nose. Man pursued until she reached the meadow. Ronno was onto Palugits game, and later knew this was no accident what Palugit did. Man saw all the deer, including Vertrou, Lojalis and Bukuri as silver backed deer. They also saw Cervola, Sterk and Poza and knew they were Vita deer, the rest were white tails. White tail's pelts they could sell for 35$ Vita deer's pelts would be worth 550$ and Silver backed deer??? 5070$ !!!! With this in mind, man set fire to the entire herd, leaving the deer running in all directions. Trotzen tried to work out what was going on, how had man come here? In the smoke, a white tail vanished at the sound of a gun, that left all the animals scattering. Trotzen shuted to any deer that could hear him

" Make it to the nearest meadow!" And all the deer exept those that had been shot ran off towards the meadow. When he was sure all the surviours were here and safe he asked;

" What started this? This was no accident! WHO LEAD THE HUNTERS HERE?!" 

At the back Palugit smiled, she thought she was safe, but she was not. Ronno knew what Palugit was up to and saw this as a chance to destroy her. 

" Your magisty!" He called. 

" Yes?" Trotzen turned to Ronno. " Was it you, or do you know who did it?" He asked. 

" Sir it was...." Ronno paused then turned to the crowd.

" Palugit, I saw her!" Ronno shouted with a satisfied smirk. All the deer gasped. Palugit felt crushed, how did Ronno know it was her?

" Palugit is this true?" Trotzen roared at the angry doe. Palugit said nothing.

" You have lead half this herd to their death, and now we have less than a quater of a herd to beet Swift tails. " 

Palugit rolled her eyes.

" You are no longer my mate!" A buck shouted. 

" I dont care! I love Swift tail!" Palugit yelled. All the deer upon hearing this began to move closer to Palugit and try to force her out of the way. Palugit looked at Trotzen hoping he would stop her. Trotzen shook his head, he could take no risks. 

" EXILE!" Trotzen shouted. He had no choice. His voice rang out across the whole meadow, bouncing of nearby rocks and streams. Palugit gasped. The deer looked at her, the buck's trying to scar her, or kill her with their antlers. Trotzen turned, and walked out of the picture, his outline fading into the fog. The deer all began to sing an exile song, to put Palugit in an unhappyer postion. 

" Deception

Disgrace

Evil as plain as the scar on her face


Deception (an outrage!)

(She can't change her ways!)

Disgrace (for shame!)


(You know these outsider types!)


SHe asked for trouble the moment she came


(see you later, Palugit!)


Deception (an outrage!)


(just leave us alone!)


Disgrace (for shame!)


(traitor, go back with your own!)


She asked for trouble the moment she came


Born in grief
Raised in hate
Helpless to defy her fate
Let her run
Let her live
But do not forget
What we cannot forgive

And she is not one of us
She has never been one of us
She is not part of us
Not our kind

Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew she would do what she's done
And we know that she'll never be one of us" 

" She is not one of us" Trotzen shighed. 


" Deception

Disgrace,  evil as plain as the scar on her face." 

Trotzen thought about what had happened, then he decided he would find Palugit even if it meant betrey his herd. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" How did you become at war?" Sanft asked the patroling buck Swift tail. 

" It's Trotzens falut." Swift tail lied. 

" Who? I'm sorry, I don't know who these deer are, exept Chestnut of course." Sanft added, looking at Chestnut. Chestnut smiled. 

" But you can stay in this herd, we need a silver backed deer in this herd any way." 

" This herd?" Sanft repeted. 

" Yes, they have silver backed deer in Trotzens herd, including a larger buck than any of us in this herd, with massive antlers! We need all the help we can get" Swift tail tried changing his personality to a softer tone to get Sanft and Chestnut to join his side. Sanft was none the wiser to his true personality, but she knew he meant her father Vertrou. Sanft sighed. 

" Do we have to be at war, half my family is on that side of the forest. I mean is this rivalry nessercariy?" Sanft questioned, trying to pursuad him to let her go. 

" We are at a war that needs to be finsished, and this side needs to win" 

" WHY? Why does it need to win? Is this hatred between you and Trotzen so horrible that you can't help each other? " Chestnut suddenly stood up for Sanft and asked the question that he wanted answers to.  

" It is a hatred going back years ago" Swift tail told him. 

" Can you tell us?" Chestnut calmed down. Swift tail paused. 

" All in good time" He smiled, then left Sanft and Chestnut alone by walking off to attend " Business". 

" I don't trust him Sanft" Chestnut followed Swift tails movments with his great golden eyes. 

" Neither do I Chestnut, and he's at war with my family, not personally but you know what I mean." Sanft sighed. For once Chestnut wasn't listening, he was too busy thinking about what was so bad and what had caused Swift tail and Trotzen's hatred. Chestnut was still thinking about this when the moon came up. Chestnut looked at the sky, it was dark blue and a full moon shone out over the sky, illuminating the outline of everything. He got up and made his way to the entrance still thinking over these things. Sanft woke up and tried to follow him. 

" Give it a rest Chestnut, mabye it was nothing, but they both remember it, Like perhaps Swift tail and Trotzen got into a fight, and both are STILL determind to end it." 

This time Chestnut allowed himself to make sense of what Sanft was saying. 

" Right, I better get some sleep. You're probably right anyway" Chestnut lied, for he still suspected that it was something more than that. 

Little did they know that a traitor ,a buck, was watching them, eager to betrey both sides, and rule them both.
