Survival of the fittest

What a day it was in the beautiful forest of magnolia town, Birds chirping, winds blowing, sun shining, kids playing, and a weird white haired guy sitting in a tree carefully crawling down the branch like some sort of perverted catterpillar. He slowly but surely crawled down the branch one step at a time as he tried to reach his goal, At the end of the branch, a bright red apple with a glistening glim to it.

Ganch's mouth watered as he looked at the red orb of deliciousness approaching his face.  Now it wasn't normal for him to get so up in arms about an apple but living the lifestyle that he does nowadays has really lowered his standards. he liked to call himself a mage but really he was more of a homeless choreboy for hire. Heck his cape migh't as well have read, WILL WORK FOR JEWELLS that  is how desperate he was. Still he couldn't say that he didn't enjoy the mage life seeing the sights was always nice even tough lately he'd just been tracking around in Magnolia.

But enough thinking about food right now it was time to aquire said food, With an outreached arm he stretched for the apple trying to grab it, but just as he felt the cold red shell against his hand a loud snap was heard, and Ganch, along with the entire tree branch started plummeting towards the ground. Now ganch managed to stop himself mid air by fying, wich brang up the question of why he was even climbing the tree to begind with. the branch, slammed against the ground and snapped but luckily the apple landed in a unusually large spot of moss.

But just as Ganch started flying towards it, a small spindly hand, grabbed the apple from the pile of moss. Ganch looked up in distress to who had stolen his next meal, and there standing at a spectacular three and a half feet tall, was a blonde little kid throwing the apple up and down like a baseball.

His next adversary was eight years old...

With grins that matched even his own at his smuggest, a posse of small children stood there in the clearing passing the sweet ball of sustinence around. Ganch just kinda looked at the blonde kid who seemed to be the boss as he started talking ''You look like you could use this apple'' the kid said with a smug grin before reaching the hand with the apple in, out towards Ganch who was floating there infront of him.

Man maybe kids these days weren't as bad as people seemed to think, when Ganch was young he wouldn't even have thought of giving away the apple, heck he wouldn't even have done it as an adult. [color:f7bb=00#ff33]''Thanks kid'' he said while he reached out for the apple. But just as his hand closed around the fruit the kid pulled it back and made a face at him. ''IF YOU WANT IT COME AND GET IT'' The kids shouted in a big flood of words before running out into the woods.

Ganch floated there for a second, feeling kinda stupid for being faked out by an eight year old, but then he smiled a half sinister, half cocky smile, If it was tag they wanted, it was tag they would get.

Normally Ganch wouldn't agree to getting blackmailed by a little kid, but if he was to completely honest, he fucking loved tag. When he was a kid he was the local tag champion. Now that might be related to the fact that he could just fly a couple of feet up into the air and instantly win the game, but he still appreciated the art of tag. And these little runts were about to get it.

He readied himself up mid ai against a treem when he casted the green orb behind him. He rubbed his hands together spat on the ground and held them outwards before detonating the orb and sending himself skyrocketing right into one of the kids. Sadly it was the wrong kid. So he just kinda poked him before activating his tailwind spell creating a green shimmering tailwind behind him, as he quickly soared trough the trees, poking kid after kid. as they tried to escape the wrath of the tag king.

It didn't take long before he'd caught everyone but the blonde kid with the apple, AKA the important one. He begun looking around the area while scratching his head. Where the hell was that kid?? That was when he heard a branch snapping. Now it wasn't from the ground either, no someone was up in the trees. And he was sure about who it was. After giving his hair a good sweep he looked towards the tree tops and sent himself flying towards them at his top speed.

Now he didn't know if he'd been really lucky or really unfortunate because on one hand he found the kid first try. But on the other hand he'd just hardcore headbutted a treebranch. and on the OTHER OTHER hand the treebranch was the same one as the kid was sitting on.

A loud crack was heard and even tough he didn't know if it was his skull or the treebranch, the scream of a falling child made it apparent that it was either option nr two. Or both. At first he was busy feeling for the inevitable bump on his head but when he remembered that a child was about to die. He floated himself backwards, and caught the kid right before he hit the ground.

The kids all cheered at their new tag overlord as he was about to accept the prize that he had earned out of PURE unsaturated TAG skillllzzzz. But as he let the blonde kid go it became apparent that the apple wasn't in his possesion anymore..

Ganch just looked at the kid while cracking his knuckles. But just as the kid was about to piss himself He cracked a huge smile, and patted the kiddo on the head.

There was no need to get pissy over an apple when he had a full forest of them.
