A new companion
The young slave lay still. She knew her life depended upon it. Unknown to Sarreket she had escaped. To her luck she was not discovered. The squirrel looked about worriedly, the fox had left hours ago but she didn't move. She waited until she calmed down and then she sat up. Her name was Raknu. Her missing back stung in the salt water from many vicious whip lashes. She was cut and battered, but alive. She was different from other squirrels; she had a black fur and dull green eyes. She was pretty but the countless whippings had made her hard. She trusted no one. She staggered up right and headed towards a grove of trees near her. She almost whopped with joy! She plucked a fresh apple from a tree and ate with a will. That night she sat contentedly under the tree almost happy... but the thoughts of her companions on the boats of the black fox brought tears to her eyes. She would try to find help and live...but she almost knew she would die, out on the lonely shores in a small grove of trees.
Soilloam heard the distant lapping of the sea in the distance. Saokn looked up at the badger. He looked strange, like he had heard something. The travelers had been walking for a few days and were near the shore. Tekker smiled "look friends a grove of trees" they picked up their pace and soon reached the small grove of trees. They did not notice the eyes spying on them from a tree. Soilloam was overjoyed "looket a h'apple tree zurr!" the mole was right, Tekker shook the tree and apples fell. They sat around munching apples happily. But Tekker's mind was else were. Some beast was watching them. He knew it was coming closer. Slow and steady. Then it happened he saw a black head slowly poke out. He jumped and grabbed it. There was a muffled squeal as the grabbed the beast. "Let her go Tekker she is a squirrel" Saokn yelled as he jumped to his feet. The badger dropped the sobbing squirrel. He bent down to see if she was ok. SLAP* the badger recoiled with a paw mark across his face. Soilloam and Saokn fell about laughing at the face the badger made. "Ye look like a frog in a flagon Haahahahha" "Oi zurr ye looked like ye been whaloped by yurr toader" The squirrel was shaking, With laughter. The badger looked at her face as she tried to hold in the giggles. "hehehhe..Herrm um hehe". The badger sat down "Whats so funny eh eh" he smiled broadly. The squirrel looked at him "Im sorry sir fer spying on ya like that...sorta thought ye may be vermin" The badger smiled again. "tis fine marm my name is Tekker and the shrew is Saokn the mole is Soiloam" She smiled and rubbed at her chipped ear... a habbit she had made when thinking. "my name is Raknu I am pleased to meet you Tekker" The badger stared at her features for a second. She was tall with green eyes her mouth was small and her ears jagged and cut, her face was happy. He knew she was a good beast, he also knew she was sad and alone. She was scarred on her paws and back from countless whippings. Her leg was cut deeply and her back was as well. She wore a faded cream tunic. She looked back at him and smiled. He hastily attended to a fire he was making. Soon there was a cozy blaze going. "So tell us of your past Ranku" She Smiled halfheartedly "Well I was young.. I was walking through the woodlands looking for some flower for my mum, it was her birthday ya see. I was captured by some stinking vermin and put to work on a ship. My master was an evil un his name was Sarreket. I worked as a rower ever since un till a few days ago I escaped. My plan was to head back to get help and help my friends on the boats. But I know I can't do anything against the foxes horde." She noticed the look of rage cross Tekker's face as she spoke the name Sarreket. "im sorry Tekker, I didn't mean to upset you" The badger came out of his rage. "It is ok... my father went to kill him when I was young...I have never seen him again... I seek out the fox for what he did no my mother...she was killed when I was young ...by that wicked fox! Some day I will find him and avenge my mother...someday" Ranku knew the badger did not make idle threats.
The fox strode the deck of his ship Gutwave. His mind was troubled. That squirrel had escaped. He hated that squirrel. He had beaten her and whipped her until she was unconscious many times. He remembered cutting her ears and kicking her face. He missed causing her pain. She would cry out every time he would strike her. His train of thought were interrupted when a rat who was on watch scuttled down to the deck. "Cap'n looks like derz gonna be a storm" Sarreket waved him away with his paw. "Warn the other ships and tell Tuzzgut to bolt everyting down tight. Quickly before I lose my patience" the rat ran fast, Very fast.
