As they were being dragged down the rough iron steps, they finally stopped at an old small brick structure blocked off with steel bars.

The two menacing Gorm soldiers chucked them into the cage and Podkin went flying into one of the walls making him unconscious.

“Podkin, Podkin” came a voice. It was Paz trying to wake him up and warn him.

“Come on, Podkin a gorm soldier is coming” and indeed it was shorter than the rest though. As it got closer Podkin noticed something about it, then the gorm stopped in his tracks and slowly took off its iron filled helmet to reveal a face of a badger .

“Who are you?” asked Paz curiously, “and why are you helping us?” she added .

“It’s Monty, Paz he was one of dad’s friends, he helped dad escape from one of the weasel minded scrap metal over grown brutes.” said Podkin.

“I’ve come to help you escape, here take this I believe this is yours” said Monty handing Podkin the dagger.

“Yes we can get out of this wretched place” shouted Podkin excitedly, whistling through the steel bars, after getting out of the jail, Podkin wanted revenge and he had a plan, he was going to get caught! He sprinted up the iron stairs and into the main hallway where all the gorm were getting ready to attack splinter Holem.

As he entered at the top of his voice “SCRAMERSHANK! YOU WANTED ME SO HERE I AM!”

“Well looks like you want a fight, so be it “snarled scramershank “stand down boys let me kill him!” Podkin slowly took out his dagger ready to strike.

“When I stamp my foot, fire at will,” Scramershank said to the other gorm.

Podkin charged at Scramershank starclaw at the ready, the gorm leader ran at Podkin at emense speed but Podkin was ready. 

He skidded on the floor towards Scramershank but instead of cutting his leg, Podkin ripped open the iron that was carved to the gorm leader’s leg exposing his filthy skin. Then Podkin slid on the floor again, this time cutting Scramershanks leg, as he fell to the floor with a BANG! One of the gorm thought that this was the signal so he fired a flaming arrow at Podkin but the rabbit leaped out of the way and the arrow hit Scramershank in the face killing him. Then because Scramershank was controlling all the other gorn they fell to the floor dead.

With that the three rabbits and the badger set off for the safety of Splinter Holem hoping they would never see a gorm face again or so they thought.
