Chapter 2



They were only 2 days away from the badger lord's mountain. The Sea vermin from the West Islands were now passing the weather beaten ruins which use to be Riftguard. There was a knock on the Chief's door.

"Enter." A dark voice hissed.

A one-eyed rat entered nervously, he was hoping the chief was in a good-mood, but he knew the lost the crew encountered a day after they left their last take over, wass till fresh in his chief's mind.

"Chief, you want we should stop at these here ruins?" the rat asked nervously.

His chief tunred around, the cloak that covered him following. The Wildcat before the rat had jet black fur with scars all over it's body, it's once long tail has been cut short by a ferret. The Chief killed the ferret and right away clean out the skull to hold his map-drawing quills. If you could trace back his ancestory over the years and seasons to the time of Verdauga, the ruler of Mossflower, you would find that he shares the same blood as Verdauga, Tsarmina. He grabbed the unfortunate rat with an angry paw.

"Did I say, 'let's stop at the ruins'? NO! I said to head striaght to the Badger Mountain!" He yelled out.

The wildcat, whose name is Shanyu, pushed the rat out of his cabin onto the main deck, the rat laid cowering at th angry wildcat's feet.

"Who here knows the punishment for not following direst and east orders?" Shanyu yelled out.

The crew gathered around, knowing that a punishment was near.

"Run 'im through!" A stoat yelled.

"Slice out 'is 'eart" A weasel excliamed.

Shanyu held up his hand for silence.

"All wonderful suggestions" He started." I think tooththief's punishment shall be this; tie him up, attach a brick to his lower paws, throw him overboard hanging from our ship, I want him to be fully under water until I decided to free him. Anyone caught helping him shall be punish the same way as he! Rathclaw, Darkpaw. Take him below deck and do the job..NOW!"

The two came forward and grabbed tooththief, who as he was being dragged off, yelled loudly.

"No!Chief!NOOOOO!!!!" He was finally droned out by the wooden door that lead below.

Shanyu's colorless eyes glanced around.

"What are you all gwakin' at?! back to work!" He hissed out.

The crew hastend back to their post as Shanyu walk slowly back to his cabin.

Meanwhile, below deck, a captived mouse sat in chains, watching Rathclaw and Darkpaw tieing tooththief up.

"What was his crime?" the mouse asked, sanding up.

"Telling off the Chief,mouse" Rathclaw answered.

"Oh, how is old stub-tail anyhow?" the mouse asked. "And I have a name! It's Emmani!"

"Shuddup Mouse! Your name on this ship is no more!Here you are just mouse." Darkpaw spat at him.

Emmani sighed and sat on the cold floor. Soon Rathclaw and Darkpaw left with tooththief in two leaving the mouse in silence. Emmani sat up and stared out the broken window in his cell, if only he had something to free his heavy chains he could escape. He forgot the idea and kept staring, the small speck of land that homed the ruins of Riftguard already leaving.

"When shall I be free?" he asked the cold silence.

A voice answered in a whisper "Tonight!"
