A New Beginning...
Rain dashed the ground at New Hollow, the sound of crows filled the air. Martho the Sneselslip was dead.
‘I miss that guy from the top of his feathered head to the soles of his spiked clawed feet!’ Sobbed Briany the Snelslip’s friend. ‘I remember when he used to poke his furry snout into our burrow to see if anyone was about.’
‘I remember that cool gaze he gave when thinking of his past adventures, oh why did he have to do it? Why did he have to sacrifice himself to stop Snerelwhip?’ Sobbed Peony. It had come so suddenly...the cruel tyrant Snerelwhip came to New Hollow last April to conquer the area on a whim. It took the sacrifice of one brave Sneselslip to stop his power mad attack. He died defending a young Shrewlermaid from the savage attack of Snerelwhip. A Sneselslip, by the way, is a cross between a bird and a shrew, it has sharp talons, a furry snout, a feathered head and wings and sharp claws. Snerelwhip, Martho, Briany and Peony are all Sneselslips and this is their story of how they faced the remnants of Snerelwhip’s horde of plundering Snarcle soldiers, his remaining followers...After all, by nature, Sneselslips are timid and cowardly creatures, but willing to fight if threatened or out of loyalty.
Continues next time (God willing)...
