Chapter 1-Cold eyes upon dead features

~~ The young mole sat upon the ground listening to his parents. They had given the young one a sack of food and assured him that they would return in a day or so. He did not know that the two squirrels, who said they were his parents,...were not. He also did not know that his real parents had died of sickness when he was merely half a season old. The Squirrels left the young mole, named Soilloam , behind, never to return. They knew they couldn't keep the now three season old mole child. Lack of food and the fact that they would have to tell him of his real family would be too strenuous.They left a note attached to the mole's tunic. It read, "to whoever finds me my name is Soilloam" and they left it at that. They left him waiting for them to return.

The young shrew was picked on since he was young. He was born small and was teased by other young shrews. One day he reached his limit when a shrew taunted him on his size "Ehh ya likkle weakling Saokn you so small I could fit ye in a acorn "the young shrew struck out at the tormenter hitting him square in the jaw! "RAGGHHH" the little shrew was upon him battering him with a stick screaming "TAKE IT BACK YE STOOPID IDJIT" the Shrew tormenter named Kogge screamed. The elders pulled the small shrew off the wailing shrew child. "Saokn ye little iddjit! Ye could av killed the little babe" they boxed the ears of the little shrew in his second season. They helped the slightly older shrew Kogge up ignoring the faces he made at the small shrew. They did it for one reason. The shrew Kogge was the spoiled son of Log-a-Log. The chieftain had tried to un spoil his son but the babes mother kept up the "Spoilation". From that day on Saokn was tormented harshly by most of the tribe.

The young badger stared into his mother's dead face. His eyes shone with unshed tears. The young one could not think, his mind spun. His father Broonoak stood his face like a stone slab. His eyes were as cold as a winter gale. His son Tekker Thunderstripe knew what his father was thinking. He was going to kill the fox Sicarius and his foolish son Sarreket. Broonoak recalled what had happened. He had been out chopping firewood with his battle axe. He heard the scream, he was off in a flash. He was too late. His wife lay slain, his son beaten to unconsciousness . He let out his battle cry "Euulliiiaaaa"! and charged! Three rats were slain but the fox ran like the wind, his son stumbling clumsily after him with the small band of vermin. He sat down and wept, the redness clearing from his eyes. He tried to wake his wife even though he knew she was dead. He woke later to see his son staring into the cold, dead, eyes of his mother. Broonoak knew one thing, when he caught the black fox he would not run any further!

Sarreket stumbled after his father. His glare would make any vermin quake in his boots. His back was covered in cuts from his father's own willow staff. He would kill his father some day...some day! Sicarius turned upon his son pulling out his willow staff, shaking with rage! "You idiot! If ye hadn't rushed in der I coulda killed her nice n sloo but ye rushed in screaming and roaring and got three of me vermin slayed! I kould of cut her throat ye idiot!" "Im sorry daad but I was.." his father's paw caught him across the face in a vicious slap. "I'll break me stick over yer back yew stooped lump!" he struck his son to the ground with an audible crack. He hit him mercilessly over and over. The vermin laughed and jeered at the fallen fox. Then the unexpected happened, Sarreket rose! He grabbed his father's staff in mid swing, his mad eyes shone with an unfathomable hatred for his father. He pulled the staff from his father's paws and hit him square in the jaw! Sicarius had a look of shock on his face before the staff struck it again. Sicarius toppled over. The last words the shocked fox heard was his son whispering in his ear "Goodbye...father!" the sound of a willow staff striking flesh and shattering bone rang through the forest for hours before Sarreket fell to the forest floor totally exhausted. His father was nought but a bloody carcass upon the leaf laden earth.
