But when we arrived there, it was noticeable that something was wrong. Strange Males scents were all over the place. Alex was looking around and noticed that they didn't go into the cave, they just stayed outside. Thinking that it was strange that they didn't go in Alex asked if the others noticed anything Strange.
Both agreed that it was strange, and Scarlet was the only One that didn't think that. She answered their Question with an answer that they should have known she said "I blocked the cave when we left. I always block the place I stay, but for some reason you Three just keep getting past it for some Unknown Reason. What my question is who and why they were here and where did they go?"
This was the thing that they should have been worried about. Alex started to smell the air. Travis stayed close to Scarlet because her Scent right now can attract all sorts of Unwanted Attention. Doctor Sebastian, because he was a Tarantula and he had sensitive Feet he started Feeling the ground and could feel movement up to 200 yards. They all could tell that they were here recently but left. Although they seemed to be turning around and heading back here.
Alex said, "I smell about Seven Males were here and I smell Hostility and Panic in the air."
All the Males were investigating and trying to be useful, while Scarlet started to make Lunch for her Pup and the Group. When the Intruding Group arrived, the Food was almost done, and she was about to make her baby a bowl.
It was a group of about Four Bears, a Sheep, a Wolf, and a Leopard.
When they started to make their way out of the tree line Alex, Travis, and Doctor Sebastian stood between them and Scarlet. The Wolf walked up and said, "I am Scott of the Rocky River Tribe, and I am looking for a Female."
Doctor Sebastian said, "She is Ours and You are Not Getting Her."
Scott said "Let me Rephrase. We are looking for the 'Great Spirit'. We need her for our Tribe."
Alex said, "This is not our problem, and She is not the 'Great Spirit' she is an Alchemist."
Scarlet just let them talk away and continued about her business with her Pup. When One of the Bears tried to walk up to her, Travis stepped in his path and was about to fight if needed. The Bear looked at him and said "We need to know if this Little Female is her and if she is she needs to come with us. Now!"
Doctor Sebastian said "Our Female is taking care of Her Pup and is not feeling well so she is staying here to Recover. You can go find the 'Great Spirit' somewhere else."
The Two groups were at a standoff and were about to break out in a fight when Scarlet said "Why do you need to find her? And why do you think I could be her?"
Scott said "We are Plagued with Sickness, and she is the Only One that can save us. Doctors won't come and we are losing our Young and Females. The 'Great Spirit' is our Only Chance Now."
Doctor Sebastian asked about the Symptoms and when Scarlet herd Scotts answer She was on High Alert. She got up and ran for the water and told them all to wash off Immediately. She ran into the cave after she washed her Pup she started to work on the antidote. To think that the Real Plague would show up here, she was Flabbergasted. Good thing that there was a modern Antidote that was easy to make.
After making enough antidote for the Group she packed the Script in a bag and came out. She gave all of them a dose and said "What it sounds like is something my people called the Bubonic Plague. It kills without Mercy and without Discrimination. I don't know why you Males are not dying off too, but this is the Exact Script for each person. All you need to do is pick these plants and give them all this much. Take this Now as a Percussion, you may be a Carrier of it and be Passing this to other people as you Walk and Breath."
As she continued to let them know what to do the Treo were all Impressed and Proud of their Little Female. The Group of Males said their Thanks and wanted to pay her for everything, but she said No and to get back to their Tribe as soon as possible.
When they left Scarlet also made Treo take the medicine and gave her Pup some as well. Alex noticed that she didn't take any and said, "Why are you not taking it too?"
Scarlet said "I did and it's not like it would do much to me if I didn't. When I was young, I got it and almost died from it. I now have Antibodies; My body will fight it off better than yours. Although I don't know why the Males were not dying off. If Females draw Power from their Males, it should be the Males that Die off not the Females, right?"
Doctor Sebastian said "Males do give their Females Energy and Health, but it's not like what you're saying. If we become Mates, You get a small amount of Energy not all of it. The More Males a Female has the more Power she gets, but it also depends on the Power Level of the Males she has."
Taking a breath, he continued "A Males power is determined by the Level they are and the way to tell that is the Bands on their bodies. The Bands will Start at the Ankles, Then Wrists, and Finally the Neck. Travis has Three, Alex and I have Four so of the Three of us Travis is the Weakest but Stronger than Most. It also goes by how much the Female cares about the Male."
Scarlet shook her head in understanding as she grabbed some pebbles and put them in front of Doctor Sebastian and the others saying, "Oh okay, so when a Female gets a Male" she took a pebble and placed it in front of her "She will get some of his power and when she has more Males, she will get Power from them as well." She did the same thing with Alex and Travis taking and placing Pebbles from their piles and adding it to her little Pile "This will help fight off Basic Infections, but it won't help agents something Truly Life Threatening."
"Well, it might, the More Feelings a Female has for their Male, the More Power they get from them." Doctor Sebastian Finished off and passed her the Rest of his Pebbles. Alex and Travis followed right behind him and gave her All of their Pebbles as well.
