A very young, jet black otter with scruffy and painted fur came scrambling into the room at hearing his name called. He'd learned the hard way that not being quick often resulted in a beating. He walked toward his mistress with his head lowered. You called me, Ma'am?

Romsca Fireblade stood next to her desk, studying over several maps. She turned to the young otter, "Get my mapping tools from the study room." She then turned back to her work, her emerald green eyes scanning over the map.

The young otter nodded and ran to do as she had asked. He came back with the mapping tools and handed them to her carefully. He then stood and watched curiously while she worked.

Romsca took the tools and began to chart a new island discovered very recently. She used her compass and measured the area before putting down the island on the map. She took a sip of her damson wine and held the map, making sure everything was in place. "Does that look right?" She asked, showing the young otter the map.

The young otter scratched his head in thought for a moment before nodding. Yes, Ma'am. It looks right to me. He really didn't know much about maps or mapmaking, but he'd been with them to that island, and it looked right from what he could guess.

Romsca laid the map back on her desk, "Good." She put all her map making tools in a small drawer and took another sip of her wine. Romsca put on her blue cape, the symbol of a Riftgard Commander, and sheathed her saber. "Come with me." She said to the otter.

The otter gulped and nodded nervously. He knew better than to refuse a command from his mistress, no matter how nervous he was. He trotted over to her side obediantly and waited for her to lead the way.

Romsca walked down the dimly lit halls of Riftgard, heading for the dining area where the commanders met. She slowed her brisk pace as she neared the door, and turned to the otter,"Listen, the others want you dead so stick close to me and don't talk to any of them or they'll have you killed."

Kodi's eyes widened and he nodded scaredly. As if to prove himself, he moved a little closer, instinctively seeking safety and comfort, although he knew he wasn't likely to get it.

Romsca turned from the otter and opened the door to the dining room. Around the table sat the Captain of the Ratguards, Major Hislek of the Elite Ferretguard, and the rest were lower captains. Romsca took her seat near the head of the table and motioned for Kodi to sit in the next seat.

Kodi's ears lowered dejectedly when she turned away from him, but he was kind of expecting it. He quickly followed behind her and sat in the chair next to hers obediantly. He kept silent and looked at all the other creatures in the room with wide eyes.

Romsca nodded toward Hislek and looked around at he other at the table. The Ratguard Captain was swelling down seaweed grog and he turned his glazed eyes to Romsca and Kodi, "Well if it ain't Romsca and 'er little pet!" Romsca was angered at his jibe but she did nothing. Soon all the others were doing the same; drinking grog and laughing at Kodi. All except Hislek who sat tall and rigid, he stood and yelled at the others, "Everybeast stop drinking 'an sit back down an' shut up!" The others obeyed Hislek and stopped.

Kodi growled qolfishly but quietly at the jibes and eyes started taking on a red tinge, but he forced himself to calm down. If he lost it and attacked one of the guards then he'd be dead for sure.

Romsca stood and joined Hislek in taking all the grog off the table. Hislek glared at the other captains, "All of you stop mumbling an' take yer seats before Vrelt is here." They did as they were told, then Hislek returned to his seat, Romsca stood a moment longer then she sat as well. Romsca whispered to Kodi, "See what they did? Just like I said they don't like you."

Kodi nodded with his ears lowered sadly. But why? Why don't they like me? I never did nothin' to 'em, he whispered. The little otter couldn't understand why they would dislike him so much when he hadn't ever done anything to them.
