Prologue
5 months had past since Urthstripe the Strong and Ferahgo the Assassin were both killed in combat. In the Mountain of Salamandastron, Urthwyte laid on his bed, tossing and turning. The Badgerlord sweated profusely, he was experiencing a nightmare, the poor white Badgerlord saw in his dream that he, Samkim, Arula, and he were kneeling underneath a ferret. The ferret had white and grey fur. He wore a blouse, and grey trousers, he had a broadswordcon his hip. The ferret also wore an eyepatch on his left eye. But he wasn't alone, there were two other tall ferrets with the same fur colors, but in different patterns. The ferret to his right who was standing above Samkim was a female ferret who wore a purple and grey gown, and she had a long curved dagger on her belt. The one standing over Arula was another male, he wore an unbuttoned vest and had a sabre placed at his hips. The lead ferret placed his paw on Urthwyte's shoulder and smiled deviously at the Badgerlord. The eyepatched ferret's voice was cool, calm, and collective.
"So you are Urthywyte the Mighty, I am Raluska Goldeneye."
Urthwyte made an expression of confusion, he then replied to the ferret.
"Why do they call you 'Goldeneye?'"
Raluska removed his eyepatch and opened his left eye, but before Urthwyte could see, the Badgerlord awoke with a scream, the scream echoed through the chambers, walking some of the Long Patrol Hares. The tall rabbits barged in, weapons drawn.
"Is everything okay, sire? Is some blighter giving you a thrashing?"
Asked Urthwyte's Brigadier, Brigadier General Hoskins. Urthwyte let out a sigh of relief and amusement.
"No, Hoskins. I just had a dream, a terrible, terrible dream. About a ferret named Kaluska Goldeneye."
"Raluska Goldeneye? Never heard of that chap."
"Neither have I but, I sure hope that dream wasn't a vision or a warning."
Hoskins and his hares left Urthwyte. The large white furred badger lay still on his bed, staring at the cave roof. The name Raluska Goldeneye, kept him up the entire night.
Samkim tossed and turned until he screamed out loud, Abbot Saxus and a mousemaiden named Henriette rushed in to see what was wrong with Samkim.
"Samkim, what is wrong?"
Abbot Saxus asked in concern to the worried struck squirrel, Samkim squeezed his sheets tightly and his eyes were bulging out, he looked up to Saxus and his grip on the sheets were loose and his face became relaxed. Abbot Saxus sat on the edge of Samkim's bed.
"Now tell me, my son. What has happened? You nearly woke the entire Abbey."
"Well Father Abbot, I had a dream that some wicked ferret named Raluska Goldeneye. He had beaten me, Arula, and Urthwyte the Mighty. We were at Salamandastron, and it seemed...it seemed that we are about to be executed."
Samkim explained to Father Abbot Saxus. Saxus sat up and positioned his spectacles.
"Oh dear, I have a creeping suspicion Martin had sent you a warning."
"Martin sent me that dream, why?"
"I don't know for certain. Now, try and get some more sleep."
Samkim laid on his back, eyes open. Thinking about Raluska Goldeneye.
I've decided to work on two stories because, I've hit a road block in my Forged in Fire book.
