Snapjaw was asleep in his dark burrow.
It was so dark that the only thing you could see in the gloom was the pale skull that he wore on his head.
Outside, the first ray of light poked through the close growing tree trunks and laid it's warming fingers on Snapjaw's head.
After a while he became uncomfortable hot. He gave a loud grunt and opened his crimson eyes.
He rolled over onto his feet and began to groom his paws, sharp pink tongue flicking over his paws.
He shook his heavy head and began to exit his cave

Scar almost walked into Snapjaw as he made his way over the threshold of his masters den. Seeing the pale gleaming skull that surmounted the head of the dread marten leader he backed up quickly in order that he should not inconvenience Snapjaw as he knew this was one of his master's pet hates. Hoping his master had not noticed him almost running into him on account of the bright light outside compared to the dim interior of the den he said, "Sir I await your orders for the day and the army stands ready for your will."

"For the day?" He snarled.
"I don't need to do anything for the day!"
He took a step to wards Scar and shoved his face right up close to his deputy's.
"First of all, I'm not doing things in that short a space of time!"
Then he drew back and his tone became silky smooth, like wind over still water.
"Scar, dear..."
He ran a razor-sharp claw over Scar's skull. When he drew back there was blood on the curved talon. He turned his back to his deputy.
"I'll have you know that if you fail this mission, I'll be holding up adverts for a newly vacated position"
He turned and looked pointedly at Scar
"Your's"
Though he seemed to have forgotten to tell Scar what the mission was.

Scar stayed total still throughout this short episode, he knew he was lucky to get away with what he had got. "Sir, you need have no fear that I will fail sir, I would rather die first. I shall muster the reconnaissance team and take them into the enemy territory, we will be back before the sun reaches it's zenith." saying so and saluting Scar turned to leave.

Snapjaw didn't even bother to answer, and left his den before Scar. He mocked a salute back and, giving a tiny giggle, vanished into the forest.
A few seconds later, he had returned.
He winked at Scar and began to climb the large oak beside his burrow
"Today, Scar, I'm going aboveland. Too.."
He pulled himself up and sat in a branch fork
"many risks. I don't want to be assassinated now. As you know, there have been several attempts on my life. And, heaven forbid, if I were to die" he said the word die as if it were a ludicrous theory.
"Then you would become leader, my good chum"
He stretched out his legs in front of him and have a mighty yawn. Inch-long fangs gleamed in the dawn light.

Scar decided it was best not to reply to that and instead decided it was safer merely to nod and leave, aiming to complete his mission. Slinking away he gathered up 3 other martens and left for the woodlands.

Scar trotted up to where Snapjaw was still sitting in the tree, "Sir my scouts have been into our enemies territory and surveyed the land as well as the occupying forces. They report that there seem to be no organized force at all, just some bumbling idiots who have no serious military training and could put up little defense to your mighty army." Scar reported waiting for his master's reply.

Snapjaw shrugged
Then he got a wicked gleam in his eye.
"Okay, how's this for a plan. First, we let them into our territory"
He got to his feet and continued climbing the tree
"They come into this clearing. They see my den. They think I'm still in it. When they're inside, you can launch a surprise attack!"
He became more and more animated, at the only thing that truly made him happy, hurting others.
"Or, even better, we'll block the entrance!"
He was high up the tree now, but he couldn't shout for fear of other animals hearing them.
But all the same, he spoke
"And then, they'll starve to death!"
He gave a chuckle of glee and launched himself onto the canopy.
Scar's meeting with Snapjaw was over.

Scar turned away ready to mobilise the army in case his leader should require them. Hoping that Snapjaw was not going to call him back for something he called to one of the other martens in he army, "Get these lazy slobs mobilised." he commanded. After seeing a short nod from his subordanate he turned and left the area by Snapjaw's den and went to oversee the army.
