Herbert's Side Story 5
After the battle in the woods, Order soldiers came to the grove where me, Luna, and Zeke were at. Luna told her of the ambush and how we had prevented it. She made sure to give me credit.
I expected there would be a celebration. Or at least that I would be honored for my help in preventing an attack against the outpost.
But no. I was placed in a sling and carried between two soldiers who looked like they were one splinter away from sprinting in the opposite direction. They kept glancing at me like I might start attacking at any moment.
I had just saved them, and they carried me back to camp like I was something explosive that might blow up at any moment.
I was full of righteous fury and at least three snapped twigs away from becoming the world's first botanical war crime. But I managed to calm myself, at least for Luna's sake.
