@phoenixrsing asked for a threatening starter
deadly quiet. the forest of gaipan might as well coined the phrase. deadly quiet, something people don't realize until it's too late. in these towering trees, you mistake the trunks as a source of audience when what really matters all watch from above. it's the rustle of leaves, the bird calls from near and far, and every now and then -- a shape that makes you double guess. it's all reactive to those wandering through with either nerve or ignorance ( answer is often BOTH ). you will be assessed by a committee of the LAST STANCE , those desperate survivors in a red - wood fearing red - attire. FLAME-LIKE LEAVES, NOT ASH YET. in comes the newest traveler . . . and after some chirps --- there's silence.
THEY CARRY THEMSELVES LIKE THEY'VE KNOWN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IMPORTANT, NO? Jet's been hunched in the shadows, signaling his fellow fighters to pause. after-all, it's always worth assessing your target for all their worth before jumping in. THE LESSONS OF AMBUSHING THE ENEMY: ALWAYS HAVE THE UPPERHAND FIRST. they already cut off this week's supply for those fire nation parasites and chased out the developing campsites in the nearby area. this man is alone for quite some distance, as far as he's made himself aware. so why is it, someone who carries themselves with importance like a soldier . . . alone.
jet debated on waiting until he began to set up camp - - - but in the dusk falling and suspicion rising, he didn't want to waste his time. A quick call to his fighters, he announces the plan: HOLD POSITION. INITUATING AMBUSH.
There's the sharp cut of metal and bark as he propels himself to the forest floor with a well-executed thud. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT , a talent he doesn't break bone but instead looks ready to break another's as he glares ahead through dark hair. his grin is as sharp as the blades he prepares at each of his sides. yeah, this guy is fire nation alright.
❛❛ Looking awfully confident walking by yourself, leech. ❜❜ he makes confident strides forward, hate flaring in brown eyes and hooked swords at the ready braced for combat.
