I'd like to thank Musical Kitten (a.k.a. Ms Mitzi) for inspiring me to do this. I ws so embarrased by the mistake. Thanks to you and Babyoshi for your advice and for beta reading!

I'll never forget that fateful day at the Wishing Well. The sky was light blue, sunlight danced all around the town, and the town was perfect. Joey and I stood near the fountain, where Tortimer would award the Golden Axe to one of us.
In the distance, you could hear, but not see, a cane accompanied by loud, slow footsteps across the bridge. No need to ask who it was.
Well, when Tortimer finally got to the Well, he looked bored, and grumpy. He didn't want to be here, and that small smile fooled neither of us.
"Bill, Joey," he said, sounding like he had rehearsed this again and again, "you know only one of you can get this, right?"
"Yeah, I guess," I yawned.
"Yes. And I give the axe to Joey."
He grinned and said, "Wow…I don't know what to say."
"Well, you deserved it…." Tortimer sighed.
And with that , he hobbled away.
The world started to spin. I couldn't feel my feathers, I felt like I was going to die, and the only thing on my mind was rage...and revenge...
Tell me what you think. NO FLAMING!
