Artemis and Lilo reached the rest of the herd,the former Bloodshedder gulped when the Peacemakers glared at her.
Sam stepped forward and looked her in the eyes "Artemis,I hear you wish to re-join us,is this so?"
"Yes" Artemis replied "I want to help you to spread love to the world and rid the world of violence and war".
The Peacemakers started chatting to each other in shock,this was strange...a Bloodshedder wanting to be good.
Sam looked over to his made confused,Tori just nodded "Well by law we have to accept you,nice to have you back with us Artemis,glad you finally see the light instead of just darkness".
"Thank you" Artemis said bowing her head in respect to her new leaders "I will not betray you's again".
"You better not" Chad mumbled under his breath making Lilo glare at him.
The longnecks soon departed leaving Artemis alone,the female sighed knowing she did make the right choice,but she also knew she was in great danger. No doubt the Bloodshedders would be after her.

Hades was slowly heading back towards his herd,not realizing he had taken a wrong turn. He frowned when he realized "Me..Hades...made a mistake! I must be turning into some kind of Peacemaker...but still I can look around...because one day all this land is going to be mine,I'll see to that" he trotted on now forgetting about his duties,he loped up a hill and looked black longnecks red eyes seemed to glow with complete evil as he watched a group of young longnecks playing,this herd had no affiliation with the Bloodshedders or Peacemakers. With a smirk Hades began the trek down,he had a plan.
One of the children stopped playing when she spotted Hades and almost shuddered,there was just some kind of evil presence about him,but she walked up to him anyway "Hi! I'm Tama who are you?"
"I'm Hades" he replied with a creepy smile "Is this your herd?"
Tama gulped and took a step back as Hades edged closer to her "Umm...yeah...can you please stop your scaring me".
"Oh of course sorry" Hades said but he didn't mean it "I tend to do that sometimes,my bad" he was gazing at Tama's brown scales and white underbelly,she also had white rims around both of her hazel eyes...she was beautiful. It was here he decided he was not going to be a Bloodshedder anymore..he was going to have a herd of his own...all his own and Tama would be his first female in it..all he had to so was pretend to be good and gain her trust.
"I-t-it's okay" Tama stammered "Where is your herd?"
Hades paused for a moment "I'm an orphan" he lied.
Tama gasped "You are?" she looked down sadly "Well I am sure the grown ups will let you stay with us but they are a bit busy right now,wanna play with me and my friends?"
Hades nearly shuddered at the word 'Friends' but he managed to keep his cool "Sure,I'll love too!"
"Great!" the female cheered "Follow me!" she ran off..
Hades followed her slowly,an evil smirk on his face,as he got closer to her he leaped ontop of her pinning her the ground with an evil laugh "My first herd member..be honored"
Tama tried to scream out for help but Hades had his foot over her foot "Hush,hush..I may be a Bloodshedder but I would not dream of hurting a pretty girl such as yourself" he chuckled but not releasing her "That is if you just come quietly".
Tama started crying,she was terrified,she had heard a lot about the Bloodshedders and now one was trying to kidnap her.
"Don't cry dear" Hades smiled "I don't like seeing girls cry...well I did like seeing one cry but thats a different story..she's dead now anyway".
The females eyes widened in horror,the young longneck once again struggled to get away but it was useless.
"Now,lets go" Hades told her getting off her "You can come join me,we'll collect others and start our own herd. No more wars,no more violence"
"But I am already in a herd like that" Tama pointed out.
Hades sighed in annoyance "Just come before I kill you" he said shoving her in the direction he wanted her to go.
In fear of losing her life if she didn't listen to the insane longneck Tama followed him..someone would notice her missing and rescue her...she hoped..
Hades smiled "Good,you finally decided to obey" he chuckled leading her on further and further away from the safety of her herd and mother.
Tama looked behind her as the figures of her herd became smaller and smaller as she was forced to keep walking,little did she know she would never see them again.
