Two years later, Ruska is eighteen and Shera is old and grey but still a fighter.
It was raining and thundering, Ruska laid curled up with the old horse stomp. Mooner was killed by Vaneth's hunters, Shera wasn't happy so he killed those hunters with his magic. That was earlier today when they were at the market buying food and blankets. Shera was still upset that they were attacked in the market, they were never attacked before. But of course he knew Vaneth would be on the hunt looking for Ruska.
It was at that thought that he noticed a glow coming from the outside of the cave, he sighed and looked over at Ruska laying with Stomp in her hide leather armour. She was never able to wear shoes do to the way her legs and feet were. He stood and grabbed his staff before making his way over to her and whispering something into her ear.
She started to glow a blue light, Stomp looked at him and Shera petted him before the animal went back to sleep. Shera sighed once more and made his way to the opening of the cave, he seen Vaneth and his band of hunters. He was surrounded by them.
"Hello Vaneth" he said calmly, he knew this time would come at some point.
"Hello Shera" Vaneth also said calmly, he was here for what was his.
"For what do i owe for this special visit?" Shera growled out.
"Oh i think you know why i'm here, you have something that belongs to me and i want it back"
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Shera acted confused.
Vaneth laughed then he whistled and a beast ran in and tackled Shera to the ground, Vaneth laughed even more as he picked up Shera's staff of lightning "Werecrocodiles, so loyal yet so hard to find"
"Really Vaneth i thought you were against the beast of black marsh?" Shera growled out as his head was being pushed against a rock.
"Ah no, i'm against the non scaled beast of black marsh" Vaneth looked at his men "Go in after it and don't underestimate it"
"You monster, she's only a child!" Vaneth just looked at the staff "Whatever you plan on doing to her it'll never work"
"Oh i don't intend on keeping it or killing it"
Shera froze "What do you intend to do to her?" he asked not sure if he wanted to know.
"I intend on selling her to a very very wealthy cat in Skyrim named Vasha"
"Why are you telling me if i could break free and escape?"
"Cuz i'm gonna kill you, in front of your pet" Shera was terrified now, not for himself but for Ruska. She told him everything that she remembered about that night, the way she seen her family die that night all in the same way.
When the hunters went in they seen Ruska curled up with a horse on the ground, to them she looked liked a child that was sleeping peacefully. Her tail was curled around her keeping her warm, for a second one of the hunters felt bad for her. But only for a second. The hunters grab her by the legs and arms, her eyes shot open and she kicked and thrashed and bit at them making the hunters tie her muzzle shut. Stomp stood and was biting the hunters, the hunters killed the horse without a second thought as they carried the fighting Ruska out of the cave.
They carried her outside the cave where she seen Shera being held down by a monster of some kind. Another hunter came up with a steel collar and clipped it around her neck while a shamon of some kind chanted something then the collar shocked her.
Then after she stopped fighting from being shocked they tied her hands together and shoved her in a cage.
"Any last words Shera?" Vaneth asked as he started to pulled out his axe.
Shera's eyes went to Ruska's "Ruska dear, never be scared, fear is something you control. Use you gift to its fullest potential"
With that Ruska cried out as Vaneth swung the axe down cutting Shera's head off in one go as it held a proudful smile. Ruska cried and cried but nobody cared as they picked up the cage and carried to a carriage where they put her in the back. Vaneth jumped on the back of his horse after he picked up Shera's head and put it into a box full other heads, Ruska got a glance and seen all the heads from the limothiits that he killed.
Ruska just cried as she was taken from her home and to a place unknown to her. She had no idea what to do now, she thought her life was getting back together with Master Shera but she was just tricked. With that she transformed into her little fox form, the collar changing with her and she went to sleep, she just wanted this nightmare to be over.
