“So… Post is protecting the poachers?” Timmothy asked confused.

Brian nodded, “From what I heard, that’s what Mum thinks… that’s why she requested joint council…”

“And the Elders know about Post’s plans?”

“Why else would they agree to a joint Council?” Brian sighed, “I think things are going to get really ugly, real quick…… we could be here for a while….”

“So…. What do we do?”

“Nothing.” Brian sighed, “We’ll have to act like we don’t know what’s going on….”

Timmy sighed and turned over in his bed to face the wall. “Then I’m going back to sleep…..”

Brian gave a nod, “Me too….” He said with a yawn as he walked back to his bed on the other side of the room. Within moments of crawling into his bed, Orien settled down next to his head on the pillow, and the both of them were out within minutes.




tump, tump, tump. The door opened slowly after the knocks, and revealed a sleepy looking Ximly. “Come on boys, up and at it, Granny’s got pancakes ready.”

Brian let out a moan, but Timmy sat up quickly, a tired look on his face as well. He sat there for a moment, rubbing his eyes before looking at Ximly. “So… early…”

“sorry Guys…” Xim sighed, “get used to this. Granny will probably wake you up earlier…..”

Brian moaned again as he sat up and mimicked Timmy. “Gaaaahh……. Whyyyy?”

“Be glad it wasn’t Mortimer waking you this morning.” Ximly laughed, “Come on you two, in your pajamas, the food’s getting cold. I’ve already eaten, so I’ll be heading out here soon….”

Brian felt a sick feeling rise in his gut…. And with his expression to match, Ximly knew he had listened in, but she kept her face straight, and did not show that she knew. “Come on…. Before Mortimer eats your food…”

That got Brian and Timmy out of bed, and Ximly laughed as Granny started to scold the weasel down stairs. Both boys quickly clambered down the stairs, their small dragons on their heels as they ran. Ximly was still snickering as she followed after the boys.


Downstairs Granny and Mortimer sat laughing at the table as Brian and Timmy slid into the dining room, barely missing the door as the wooden floors were slick, and their socks provided little friction. Brian steadied himself on the back of one of the wooden chairs, and Timmy did the same, picking a seat next to Brian.

“Sleep well?” Granny asked with a wide smile. She wore a red and white shirt and camouflaged pants, basically looking like a much, much older Ximly, her hair was even pulled up into a ponytail. “Eat up boys, we go out to the forest in a few hours.”
