Chapter Sixteen: The Truth of Lies
Death had sent out several scouts that fall to scour the land for any word of the Silvercat and her army. One, a lithe ferret named Piker, had continued travelling north following a worn trail that had caught his attention. After several days tracking he found himself at the base of a great mountain. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps to his left and the ferret dove for cover.
Darkness Shadowstrike sat himself down on a fallen stump and sighed heavily. Everything was moving so quickly, soon they would be setting off to begin the final battle; Darkness was not eager for this. "Too many secrets, far too many," he muttered softly. There was a sudden rustle behind him and he turned to see the ferret in a deep bow.
"My Lord, it is good to see you yet living, My Master will be pleased to see this!" Piker exclaimed as he looked at the ground in reverence.
Darkness leapt up in shock, "What in the name of the Dark Forest are you doing here Piker?!"
"His lordship, Death, sent me out with the scouts and lo, what I have found!" the awed ferret answered. Darkness simply stared in shock and before he could even answer the ferret the silence was broken by the arrival of Sheede, Phillet and several giant hare guards.
"Dar are you ready to--," Sheede had been saying as she walked up, when she saw the ferret she froze, "What's this?"
Piker stared at the Silvercat and then patted Dar on the shoulder, "Well done My Lord, gained her trust you have!" he whispered far too loudly. Everyone present narrowed their eyes at Dar.
"I say, what's he mean Dar?" Phillet asked slowly. Darkness stepped forward to answer but Piker suddenly leapt out from behind him and interupted.
"I mean that you have all been tricked by the adopted son of the Great Death Raventooth, don't even try to resist Darkness Shadowstrike, mightiest of us all!" he crowed.
Sheede sneered at them both and growled, "Seize him and the ferret," she coldly ordered the hares who grimly moved foreward.
"Sheede, please, you don't understand! Wait!" Darkness tried to persuede her as he and Piker were dragged off.
"I understand that you lied to me, that is all," came the disdainfull reply, "Chain them to the supply wagon!"
Phillet simply looked at the ground, "I don't understand it," he whispered to no one.
