Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
In the war on terror, a bold new enemy has risen. Jackal and Ostrich are the codenames for a pair of bold terrorists that have attacked some of the most senstive targets in the Middle East, drawing international attention. But while their attacks have been bold, their motives have been less clear, with the top agents from many nations trying to figure out their next move, struggling to see what will become their most unexpected challenge yet.
Jackal has been in August's custody for a week, where the canine has refused to give any information on Ostrich's whereabouts. Things get worse when bad intel botches an operation leaving Cherry captured by the elusive Ostrich. With Len at the boiling point, desperate to rescue his hawk partner, he's been fighting the cool desk agent August for access at jackal, determined to get information out of him, not realizing August had been gathering valuable intel all this time.
When the drought runs too long, a village of coyotes grows desperate. An old coyote cry says a gift of silver and turquoise brought to the top of Arizuma mountain will bring skywater. Carol is the only adult without pups, so she reluctantly takes on the challenge to climb the mountain with the village's last riches. She understands little about the old magic she's tasked to summon, leaving her having to trust the absent-minded and disconnected ringtail who joins her on her journey.
Milton has learned he can't convince Caroline not to take her silver to the top of Arizuma mountain. So he figures if the world is going to end, he might as well tag along for it. That leaves the grounded Caroline with the silly ringtail in tow, a reluctant pair, but the only partner she has on the lonely mountain. This scene opens with the pair taking a rest, and Milton trying to liven up the mood by showing off his impressive tail-juggling.

She immediately pegs the ringtail as being a thief, even though he doesn't run when the coyote wakes up. As a lonely mountain shaman, Milton is delighted at finding a new muzzle, but can't bring himself to wake up the sleeping coyote. To him, the bag is a way to learn more about the mountain's new guest. And a way to get some delicious raisins.
Gather ye around, and let me spin the tale of the Mighty Sir Render, the boar knight who singlehandedly ran away from every battle he ever faced, at whom cowards scoff and birds excrement upon!

The 'Brave' Sir Render, having tracked the source of the livestock disappearance, comes upon a dragon in his lair - which is little more than a hole in the side of the mountain. Upon confronting the dragon, the two try every trick in the book to discourage the other from attacking.

Of course, the city hoofers never did care much for the country, leaving the now out-of-work horses, donkeys and cattle to fend for themselves.
