Prologue 2
Triolo pov
Not much has happened to me in the seasons since I was banished from my tribe. Well unless you count saving a young salamandastron hare from being a toad's lunch and I was only able to do that because I came from behind it while it was engrossed in making a fire to roast said hare and hit it in the head with my walking stick. The hare was so grateful that I came a long that he gave me a badger made dirk and insisted I go with him back to the mountain so he could give me a token that would prove that he owed me a life debt. Well I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I only stayed there a few days promising all the hares I would come back to the mountain if ever I found a mate and had pups.
Well that's enough reminiscing. Right now I am helping take down the jubilee festivities. There wasn't much left to do then I would leave and continue my journey down the coast. Out of the corner of my eye I see a bunch of creatures coming toward us. I discreetly signal another otter that was helping move a lot of pots and pans. When I got his attention I pointed out the creatures. He squinted and scowled as he signaled all able bodied otters to stand ready for a fight. The creatures were close enough now that I saw what they were .they were Juska. I had a run-in a while back with a half mad stoat that kept babbling on about soon becoming the juska boar leader. I didn't really care who they were exactly until I saw her. She was so beautiful, I mean the world turned upside down, dang I sound cheesy but it's true. I was looking at her when a collar and chain caught my eye. I saw red.
I don't really remember what happened next all I know is when I came to my senses, I was on top of the juska leader with my blade to his throat and him begging for his life. I growled one word. "Her". He seemed to get my meaning as he gestured for the metal collar to be removed from the beauty's neck. The other otters just stood shocked through this whole thing. I climbed off of the chief and reached my paw out to the stoat that I had freed from enslavement. When she grabbed my paw I thought that the entire universe had righted itself.

Later that night I had learned her name and why she was bound. Her name was lighteyes. She told me that she came from a long line of traveling juska seers and a couple seasons back she had stopped to rest by the camp fire of the tribe of the juska noir, and as payment she was asked to "see" something for the leader. She of course agreed for it was the tradition of the family to see something for any juska who asked. The prophesy she saw was in all honesty amazing. I can barley comprehend it. She told us the prophesy in its entirety. It was "born of two worlds, born to a one with the soul of the sea, born to clear sight, never knowing the split she walks, gentle as the sea breeze, as strong as the roaring tides, taggarung, with the touch of balance, save the unknown uncle in dire need, warrior and healer, she walks two worlds." She told us that the leader scoffed at the prophecy and declared since it was obviously a fake, she was not a true seer so she must be bound to one tribe.
After her tale I asked her to join me in traveling and, maybe one day even, consider becoming my mate. She chuckled and said that she would love to. My world was complete, for now.
