Tiny looked hurt. "We did great, River!" She peeped, "We didn't even get hurt! Goldenfeather was smart to bring us." She said, looking disappointed at what her trainer had said.
"You two did do great but Tiny you and Fast are the closest things I have to friends he put you two in danger, you could have died, if you would have you can not imagine what I could- would do" River said in a low voice
"Well, you have to be really quiet and slow." Stripe explained. "You can't step on anything, and you gotta pounce only when you're super close to your target." He demonstrated, jumping forward in a "pounce". He flapped his wings and landed in a shrub.
Tiny looked angry. "Anyone there could've died! Goldenfeather lessened the odds of any chicken dying by bringing us to up the patrol's numbers." She explained.
"Yup! Just like that," Stripe said, sounding pleased that he had taught her something.
"Tiny It`s not really this but this and other things he has done...... Tiny terrible things have happened before and since you and Fast hatched it was not always like this this flock once didn`t fight with Wing flock we were at peace but since then things- horrid things have happened things i wish I had not saw. I Can`t loose you two like I did the others." River said softly she felt as if her heart had broke "They never will know what he did but they won`t end up like the others I`ve lost."
Dinky opened his beak, but held back his retort, trying to act like a mature Warrior.
