It took some convincing, but the group of twelve hunters that came from the forest agreed to climb up Rampage's leg, and then they got set up on his back.
Once they all got up there, Zik turned to them, and said, "I need you to hold on tight now. Rampage is a fast boy."
Other than that, he then threatened them directly, "Jimmy told me about your little meeting in the forest. I wouldn't let you near my home even if you begged me for ten moons, but Jimmy wants you there, so I'll respect his decision. But… if you so much as scratch one of my people, I'll make sure that you become Rampage's lunch that same day. You can trust me on that, it's the only promise I can make to you."
"We come in peace," Zelna spoke up, "Jimmy showed us what he was capable of, and if the promises he made have any truth to them, we'll gladly fight by your side. We don't like traitors ourselves, we kill them when we can."
