they keep calling me, beckoning >> RAID ON BANDITS!

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

A raid. On the whole, Rhinestonestar knew battle, but that didn't mean he enjoyed it. Despite this, he wasn't about to just back down from this particular fight. Altihís Evgenis had already proven themselves to be valuable allies, and although the feline could still feel sickness gripping him, he wasn't about to back out. Once Palmclan's camp had been safely secured, with all of the Alithís children safe and protected, Rhine had guided the attacking force out of camp, and after their escort. With every step, he felt a surge of determination in his chest, pale blue gaze narrowed with anger and a sense of justice. The bandits had done nothing thus far but cause chaos, and drive Alithís from their very home. They had killed those that Bai Shi was close to, and Rhine knew that pain very well. That was why he had pledged himself and his clanmates to this fight, and that was why he felt invigorated, even through the hunger, and the sickness. Needless to say, he knew that he wouldn't be the strongest member of the attacking force, but he didn't need to be. They had members like Vaas and Quasar on their side, who were far larger than Rhine, and had powers to utilize in battle as well.

Once the group reached where Bai Shi was, Rhinestone lifted his voice, a resounding call that left him, echoed in the warriors behind him, "Bai Shi! We are ready to help, no matter what the stakes." His gaze was burning, and he felt a grin upon his muzzle. It had been some time since he had a proper fight, and even with how weak he felt, he also felt ready to make this a good one. Sitting down, the ruddy feline then listened to Bai Shi's plan, his head tilting to one side as he nodded along. The entire concept of it was good, and Rhine didn't see many problems with it. Of course, unexpected complications could arise, as they did with all things, but Bai Shi seemed to be a good strategist. They had clearly thought this through, and Rhinestone wasn't about to go questioning them on their turf. After shaking out his fur, the Palmclan leader then spoke up again, "I'll go with group a. Needless to say, I'm not quite as powerful as some around here." Rhine's fighting skills were nothing to sneeze at, but they mainly only applied when he knew he was fighting others around his own size. In this case, he felt no shame in moving over to the sneaking group, eyes focused on where the bandit camp would be in the distance.
