Frostpaw the immense badger continued his trek north up the beach. It was hot, and he was sweatting all over, but he had to find a ship. So far, Frostpaw has had no luck, as he hasn't even encountered a single creature. It was late afternoon, and the sun was as hot as ever, but he forced himself to go on. "I have to find my sister. I have to find my sister. I have to find my sister," he kept repeating the phrase over and over, giving him the strength to continue on.

Han squinted at the distant beach. "Chewie!" he called. "Take in some sail. I see something on the shore." Chewbacca, more well known as Chewie, climed the single mast and took in the sail. Han tacked a bit and soon enough they had landed on the beach near the badger. Han jumped out, calling to Chewie "Stay on the ship. I'll be back in a minute." He strode up to the badger. "You look like you need your help. I'm Han Solo. That's Chewbacca. Call him Chewie, though. He's mute so he can't talk." he said.

Frostpaw extended his massive paw to Hans. He towered over the mouse, who imposed a corsair like figure. "I'm Frostpaw Eversnow, nice to meet you," Frostpaw glanced at the ship siting on the ocean. It was a fine looking vessel, one that was fit for the sea. Maybe these creatures can help me out, he thought.

Han hid his fear of the badger by grinning widely. "Nice to meet you too. Would you like a ride? You look like it might do you some good. Its a sight easier than trekking over the dunes." he said, gesturing to the Milennium Falcon.

"Yes actually that is just what I was looking for," Frostpaw's face lit up, maybe now he could get to Riftguard. "I have a bit of a story, actually. I came from a cave in the North. Eventually I went wandering, as all male badgers do, but when I came back I found nobeast. Vermin had raided my family's cave. I found a piece of paper and some weapons that said Riftguard. My mother was killed," A sad look came about the badger's face. "But I don't know where my sister is, so I must find her. Do you know what a Riftguard is?"

Han nodded. "I'm sorry to say I do. Riftguard is a fortress in the north. The rulers keep slaves to do their work and rule over all. The fortress is situated between two fjords. I'll help you. I take pity on anybeast that is held captive by those cretins. Hop aboard." Han dashed to the Falcon. "Chewie! Get ready to make way! This 'ere badger's comin' with us!" he yelled. "We sail for Riftgard!"`

Frostpaw's worst fears were confirmed. His sister had been taken to a vermin fortress full of slaves. "I'll burn Riftguard to the ground and kill and vermin who stand in my way," He muttered under his breath. Frostpaw waded out into the ocean, the gentle sound of waves crashing on the shoreline was ringing in his ear. He climbed aboard the ship, who's name read Millennium Falcon. The quest for Riftguard was on!

Han sailed through most of the day. In the evening, he turned to Frostpaw. "We're going to have to land. Chewie and I can't sail all night. If something happens, chewie can't call out and warn me and I can't watch the tiller all night."

"I can help watch the tiller," Frostpaw said firmly. "Me and you can take shifts. I don't know a whole lot about boating, but I'm sure I can keep the tiller straight," Frostpaw hoped Han would listen to his suggestion, because he really didn't want to make land. He wanted to get to Riftguard and rescue his sister as soon as possible.

Solo nodded. "If that's what you want to do, fine by me, but don't damage my ship." he said, returning his attention to the sea. "I'll wake you about midnight." he said. Gesturing to the small hold, he said "Take a bunk down there. Sleep well!"

"Good night," Frostpaw walked down into the bunker and layed out on a cot-like-hammock. It wasn't the most comfy bed, but hey, it would do. It did not take the badger long to fall asleep, as his eyes grew droopy and shut. He dreamed of his family, and his cave in the North. But most importantly, he dreamed of Riftguard, and his sister.

Hours later, Han had grown tired. 'Soon it will be midnight' he reflected. 'Then I'll wake Frostpaw and crash in the hold. Straining his eyes to peer through the mist and the all-encompassing darkness, he steered a straight course north through the sea.

The large badger awoke when Han rustled him in his cot. Frostpaw arose and headed out to the tiller. "I'll take over for a while, you go sleep," He said. Frostpaw put his mighty grip on the tiller, and steered the ship in the same direction Han had it.
