It was a dry summers evening in the camp of Cutthroat and his backstabbers. The seer, the only fox in the army of rats, sat alongside Cutthroat and his son, Bloodblade. Seer, for that was what she was known as, had five more rats to name. Seer looked into their future and decided on their name and what weapon they should carry. The first rat, a male with light brown fur, was brought forward. "He shall be skilled with a dagger, many deaths he will bring, his name shall be Grimknife." A dagger was given to the baby’s anxious mother and Grimknife was hurried away. Next, two dark brown twins, a boy and a girl, were put forward. "Ah! I see, the girl shall be Poisonclaw, give her hollow claw extensions and a bottle of poison to fill them with. The boy, he shall be Sharpclaw, give him long solid and sharp claw extensions." After the twins had departed, a completely black female rat was brought to the seer. "She shall be a poisoner, fast, agile, deadly and a master of the night." the rats gasped, poisoners were highly thought of in the tribe "Nightshadow she shall be." Finally, the last rat was brought forward. He was odd, as far as rats go, he was golden with sky blue eyes, and didn't have the mean look the others had developed during their first month in the tribe. "Give him a sabre, straight and true, his name is Forjust." Cried the fox, sounding more panicked than she had been with the other rats, thought Cutthroat and Bloodblade didn’t seem to notice, and the rats that had been present for the naming started to filter out the clearing. When the rats had gone, Seer sunk to her knees, put her head in her hands and shook it in despair.
PS- I know Tari and she borrowed the name Grimknife from me, not the other way round.
