 * __The Fox, the Cat, The Bird, and the__** __Youngling/Yearling__

The Gist of the story, from memory(from session June 4th)

One day Bird was flying over her realm and saw the animals below. She wondered at their lives and thought about what it would be like to be a mother. She thought she would be a good mother. As she flew, she saw a youngling deer being chased by a mountain lion. She pitied that youngling and its mother who was nearby. She watched as the mountain lion caught the youngling and decided that a good mother would not stand by while her young was killed. She swooped in, grabbed the youngling, and returned it to its mother. She then flew on, happy with herself, thinking of what a good mother she was to her beings.

The mountain lion was quite upset and was a mother with a litter. Her kittens were hungry, and that had been her first catch in days. She fumed about the incident for awhile, and then decided to complain to Cat. She told Cat that Bird had stolen her prey and how her kittens were hungry. Listening, Cat grew angry and decided to visit Bird and learn why she had done this thing.

As Cat journeyed to Bird's mountain, she passed by Fox. Fox asked Cat what was happening, and upon learning the story, decided to go with Cat to see Bird. Along the way, Fox asked Cat why Bird hated cats so much, why she would deliberately starve cats, working against them when she could. She fed Cat's anger without appearing to do so and Fox thought to itself this to be funny getting Cat upset, By the time they found Bird, Cat was quite angry. "Why do you hate cats?", Cat asked Bird. "Why would you starve kittens?" Bird was confused and taken aback, unwilling to confess to her thoughts about being a mother, she finally simply stated she had done so as a matter of the heart, and no other explanation was needed. Cat, of course, asked why starving cats was a matter of the heart. She only grew angrier, and finally attacked Bird. Being on Bird's mountain, Bird was stronger there, and defeated Cat. Fox tried to calm Bird as Fox realized this joke gone too far but Bird was too angry and told Fox to leave or else. Cat limped home, rested, and then confronted Bird again. Again she was beaten by Bird. And again. And again. Both also became angry with Fox. Soon neither Bird nor Cat would speak with either Fox or each other. Fox felt guilty about causing such trouble between them, and tried to bring peace, but neither would speak with her any longer.

Finally, Fox thought about why the three so often worked together: the "evil uglies" that roamed the land. She managed to speak with Cat. "There is an evil ugly in your land, Cat. Can you defeat him?" asked Fox. "I can probably beat him", Cat replied, "but it would hurt me too." Fox asked, "What if we two fought it. Could we beat him?" "We would beat him, but he would probably still hurt us", Cat answered. "What if Bird also fought with us?" "We would kill him, then" said Cat. With that they approached Bird again.

Both Bird and Cat were still angry with Fox, and demanded to know why Fox had caused such trouble. Fox, feeling guilty and knowing that they had to work together, confessed. "You two are stronger than me," she said, "and the only way I can feel equal to you two is to feel more clever. I did it only to feel stronger, not to hurt either of you." With her confession, and stating the need to rid the land of the evil uglies, they once again worked together and thus mended the rift between them. Their truce started with each of them saying to the other:

"We are alone We are forgotten We need each other Lets go Hunt"

__**The Fox, The Cat, The Bird and what is Love**__

A new song from 3 mercs who part of elite order top notch reputation and expensive, have constellations on shield(see notes from June 18, 2016)

One day Cat was checking for any "Evil Uglies" in her area, sees a group of humans tracking/chasing two other humans. The tracking group was formed by a very good hunter/tracker and a party of "metal skins". "Odd", thought Cat, "Humans hunting humans? Do they eat each other?" Curious, Cat decided to follow along behind to see what was going to happen. Cat noticed the hunter/tracker not getting along very well with the metal skins as they chased the two other humans, a man and a woman. They party eventually catches up to the two, and the man is beaten badly and left for dead while the woman is taken away by the "metal skins". Cat comes to the beaten man and heals his wounds.

Cat asks, "Why did they beat you?" The man replies, "For true love. The woman is my true love and I hers but she is betrothed to another, we tried to escape but you saw us get caught. I must go rescue her, can you help me?"

Cat thinks this is crazy but agreed to help the man track the party. The two of them track the party and taken woman to a human city.

Cat says, "I can go no farther". Cat is surprised when the man gives Cat a hug. "Why did you do that?" Cat asked. The man says, "I feel sorry for you." "Why are you sorry for me?", questions Cat. "Because Cat can never love, Cat can never have a mate, Cat can have no offspring", the man sadly replied and he takes off to the city to rescue his true love.

Cat decides to ask Fox for some insight and advice about this. Fox very amused and makes fun of Cat, teasing Cat is in love with the human man. Fox keeps at it until Cat says they will go and talk to Bird if Fox is going to be like this. Cat goes find Bird, and Bird reacts the same as Fox, teasing Cat much the same until Cat leaves in a sulk. Cat heads home to wonder about the events and not paying much attention when Cat is attacked by three "evil uglies". Cat fights the best Cat can but is getting hurt badly and losing the fight when Bird and Fox join the battle to save Cat and kill all the "evil uglies". Cat is hurt and bleeding badly. Bird picks up Cat to fly to a pool of lava that is Cat's home, but the blood from Cat burns Bird's legs until Bird has to drop Cat. Fox had been running to follow and drags Cat to the pool, when Cat gets in the pool, Fox's tail gets burned off before Fox can get to shore. Fox tells Bird to leave and heal but Bird refuses to leave, wanting to stay and see if Cat lives. After some time, part of Cat pops up and asks about the humans. Bird and Fox tell Cat to go back to healing.

The morale of the story is that the only Love that Cat, Bird, and Fox have is each other, and that Love will endure forever.

The military order that displays the constellations on their shields are renown for the fact that they never leave a man behind. Semper Fi.
