The words hung in the air, twin surrenders that sealed the battlefield's fate.
Within minutes, a temporary tent materialized—hastily erected by rabbit warriors whose hands still trembled from the carnage they'd witnessed. Canvas walls flapped in the wind, supported by wooden poles driven deep into blood-soaked earth.
Outside, two distinct groups stood guard. Rabbit-kin warriors in brown leather armor flanked one side, their long ears twitching nervously. Cat-kin soldiers held the opposite flank, claws half-extended, tails swishing with barely contained aggression.
The tension was thick enough to choke on.
Inside the tent, the atmosphere was... different.
