"My eyes, my beautiful wonderful rat eyes, they're burning," Gregor heard somebody yelling as they woke him up, and sure enough there was Ripred rolling around on the floor.
"Can you two please lock the doors of a night so I don't have to come in here and see u two snuggled up asleep on the couch." Ripred ask sarcastically
"Shut up," yelled Gregor throwing a pillow at him
"It is ok Gregor I have to go oversee the electing of the new council members" said Luxa getting up off the couch and walking out of the room.
"What did u want anyway" Gregor shot at Ripred
"Vikus wishes to see you in the prophecy room, and before you ask why there's a prophecy about you and me, he wishes for us to see it at the same time,"
"But the warrior prophecy's are done aren't they," asked Gregor
"Apparently not stupid, now lets go, before you think of another stupid question to ask me."
Gregor reluctantly got up, yawning, as he followed Ripred down the hall and a flight of stairs until they got to the prophecy room
"Ah Gregor you are here, thank you, for coming now we can get started on the prophecy," Vikus said pointing over to the corner of the ground.
Gregor walked over there to the corner of the room and saw a small square, that had a small prophecy in it. "It doesn't look as big as the others do" Gregor noticed
"No, it does not but it has greater meaning then the others too," said Vikus
"Come on hurry up I want to read the prophecy." Ripred started complaining
"Yes, let us read the prophecy now," Vikus said
Two ragers in this land there be,
And only one can come out of alive,
For this war with the cutters and twisters,
Who will have allied with the rebel gnawers,
Will be far worse than any other before,
So heed my warning and attack before they,
Ally themselves with each other, and maybe,
And only then can maybe both ragers come out alive
" Wow," Gregor said aloud
"Vikus, can Gregor and me have a few minutes together" asked Ripred, as Gregor noticed Ripred had called him by his name instead of warrior, or kid, or even boy for that matter.
"Certainly," said Vikus, We will discuss the prophecy tomorrow morning, and we will leave tomorrow night." said Vikus as he left
Now Gregor knew why Vikus had such difficulty telling his mom about him getting schooling down here, because there was the possibility he may never come back to get an education.
"Ok listen here, Gregor,"said Ripred " You know what I think about this prophecy, but Vikus is gonna send us out there wether we like it or not, but you listen here and you listen good, if I don't like the situation were in, and i tell you to get out, you better get out and leave me, because I've lived my life and you havent hardly begun yours." Than Ripred softened his tone and put his paw to his shoulder and asked, "Do you understand me?"
And Gregor only nodded back because he knew Ripred would never get this serious with him unless he thought it would cost him his life.
