When the squirrelmaid woke, she felt refreshed. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she sat up. She was untied, ungagged, and in a tent somewhere. She was glad this one was un-scorched. A bowl of rose water sat on a table, and she splashed the water on her face and paws. She ventured to poke her head out of the tent, and saw a bunch of hares seated around a fire, eating and talking. One of them spotted her. "Hey chaps, the squirrelmaid's up. Hi, missy, feelin' better, I hope?"

The squirrelmaid blinked and shook her head. "Huh? Oh, yes..." Two hares leapt up and assisted her to a log by the fire. "Here missie, y'can sit an' we'll serve y'some tucker." "Rather! When you're fattened up, we can eat ya. Haw haw, just kiddin', wot." She was given a strawberry scone and some mint tea for breakfast. Hares kept constantly pouring her more tea and asking if she was all right. She'd just nod and mumble through bites of scone.

When she finished, one large hare shoved his way through the crowd. "Here here, chaps, give the gel some room t'breath, wot! Phew. Now missy, what's up? How'd you get into that mess?" The squirrelmaid sighed. "That's the problem, sir. I don't know. I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, I don't know what happened; I just don't know anything." The hare pursed his lips. "Hmm...lost y'memory, eh? What's that called now? Anesia? I'm not surprised. We set flame to a whole army of vermin, and you must've been in it. Whole bunch of the scoundrels still survived though, including that rascally ferret Kolad Gillum. Never mind that for the time bein' though. We have to get you a bally name!"

The squirrelmaid shrugged. "I don't have a real one. I think...Fire. I remembered something! A remember fire!" The hare nodded. "Well, at least y'remembered somethin'. Now, a name. How 'bout Blazebeech or somethin' like that?" The squirrelmaid shrugged again. "It'll do, I guess, until I find my real name." The hare patted Blazebeech'ss back. "Good. You'll remember y'self eventually, but for now we've got an horde to battle."
