Un poco tiempo había pasado y Rainder y Flanderick caminaban uno junto al otro. No habían hablado mucho y se dirigían a un combate. Sabían que era una pelea complicada. Pero tenían el deber y la responsabilidad de hacerlo. Lo harían por sus familias, lo harían por este hermoso bosque que tanto amaban y que era su hogar ahora, así como lo había sido de sus antepasados.

Subieron por una vereda estrecha, rodeando árboles, rocas y maleza, caminaban sin mucha prisa, con la calma que se requiere en esos momentos en que tu vida está en peligro.
Llegaron al borde de una colina y se agacharon para lograr observar a los intrusos que invadían sus terrenos. Allí estaban, dos seres extraños, con un pelaje que no podían describir, ya que sus colores eran muy raros pero llamativos. Estos seres, claramente atacaban a los árboles, dañaban las malezas, destruian las plantas y hacían daño a todo lo que dirigían sus miradas. Cada vez que se acercaban a un árbol, una planta o incluso a la misma tierra, estos eran víctimas de sufrimiento o morían sin piedad. Sus acciones eran algo lentas, pero sin duda, solo estaban aquí para causar ruina a este bosque inmenso, verde y vivo.

— No podemos seguir permitiéndolo, acabemos con ellos — dijo Flanderick bastante enojado y ya con su temperamento invadido por la agresividad que lo caracterizaba.

Rainder le miro y su rostro también denotaba furia y enojo. Dirigió la vista hacia los seres extraños, que de nuevo atacaban un árbol y sin vacilar un solo momento dijo dirigiéndose a su amigo:

— ¡Ya basta, hagasmolo!

Se levantaron al unísono, se irguieron y de inmediato emprendieron la carrera colina abajo, rugiendo y gritando con furia, con gran enojo en busca de los seres extraños que se encontraban un tanto retirados. Mientras corrían raudos colina abajo, los seres extraños se percataron del gran peligro que significaban estos dos habitantes del bosque que se les abalanzaban con gran furia. El miedo y el terror se apoderó inmediatamente de ellos y, sin dudarlo, emprendieron una veloz carrera para escapar de la rabia y el enojo que les perseguía para matarlos. Nunca en sus vidas habían sentido tanto temor de perder sus vidas y por ello, corrieron como nunca lo habían hecho, para escapar de la muerte segura en las manos de los dos habitantes del bosque.

A little time had passed and Rainder and Flanderick were walking side by side. They hadn't talked much and they were headed for a fight. They knew it was a complicated fight. But they had a duty and a responsibility to do it. They would do it for their families, they would do it for this beautiful forest that they loved so much and that was their home now, just as it had been their ancestors'.

They walked up a narrow path, going around trees, rocks, and undergrowth, they walked without much haste, with the calm that is required in those moments when your life is in danger.
They reached the edge of a hill and crouched down to observe the intruders that were invading their land. There they were, two strange beings, with fur that they could not describe since their colors were very strange but striking. These beings were clearly attacking trees, damaging weeds, destroying plants, and hurting everything they looked at. Every time they approached a tree, a plant, or even the earth itself, they were victims of suffering or died mercilessly. Their actions were somewhat slow, but without a doubt, they were only here to cause ruin to this immense, green, and living forest.

— We cannot continue to allow it, let's finish them off — said Flanderick, quite angry and with his temper already invaded by the aggressiveness that characterized him.

Rainder looked at him and his face also showed fury and anger. He looked at the strange beings, who were once again attacking a tree, and without a moment's hesitation he said to his friend:

— That's enough, let's go!

They got up in unison, stood upright, and immediately started running down the hill, roaring and shouting furiously, with great anger in search of the strange beings that were somewhat withdrawn. As they ran swiftly down the hill, the strange beings became aware of the great danger posed by these two forest dwellers who were rushing at them with great fury. Fear and terror immediately seized them and, without hesitation, they made a swift run to escape the rage and anger that was chasing them to kill them. Never in their lives had they felt such fear of losing their lives and so they ran as they had never run before, to escape certain death at the hands of the two forest dwellers.
