Clover jumped onto the Bears back and they rode to the middle of the fight. The Blue Birds dove into the crowd, slicing open the cloth bodies of the Woozles with bladed talons. With them was Rabbit, destroying two to three at a time with his scythe. He moved like a gardener simply doing his job, cutting through the wheat. Kessie stayed close to him, cutting down any stray attacker who tried to sneak up on Rabbit. Kanga’s soldiers Worked from the edge of the battlefield and inward. The numbers of the enemy were dwindling.

Kanga watched all of this With Tigger by her side. She looked over the field, scanning every portion of snow.

“He’s not here.” She sounded frustrated.

Tigger held his sword at the ready. He looked around with her. Roo wasn’t a fighter. Tigger knew that from all the attempts he took to teach him. The boy could defend himself but taken to a one on one duel, he was quick to fall. However, he was smart. Tigger had to give him that.

“Where would you be right now?” He asked Kanga and himself.

“Some place safe.”

“Some place more important?”

“A place no one would be looking, because it was already attacked, and a battle was at hand.” Kanga looked to the collapsed castle. A few towers remained, and in one she saw a faint light that was moving.
