"Mama!!," the small otter cried as she saw her mother being dragged aboard the ship.
In big red crooked letters, the name Streamswiper was scrawled across the ship's hull. Now, the rats were dragging the beasts aboard th ship, spear points at their neck. Her mother was screaming at her.
"Run my child, run! Save yourself!" A rat struck a stinging blow to her head, knocking the otterwife unconcious. The small creature did as her mother bade, running to the secret caves in the cliffs. Turning for one more time, the babe lookd and saw her friends and family being dragged aboard, illuminated by a fire, fueled by carcasses of the dead.
When the small one reached a safely hidden cave, she dove inside, not seen by the vermin loading and guarding the ship.
"Clear ooouuuutttt!!" A member of the crew shouted as the last slave was heaved aboard. The vessel heaved off as the sails were furled and the wind caught n them, blowing the impressive ship along.
The otter babe looked one last time at the slave ship, where her mother was, and where she would never see her again. The otter looked after it, then buried her face in her paws and sobbed.
