A Gift From A Goddess

As the battle commenced the three rabbits’ mother, Laz, dragged them all the way to the dusty bedroom. Rook sat cutely on the floor as Raskin and Rasco looked around.
“Why did you drag us here mother? Father is going to die to Gorm! And we can walk, you know.” Shouted Raskin. Rook sat unknowingly. Mother Laz didn’t reply as she seemed to be looking for something. After a few minutes of Laz searching the room, she gave Raskin a wrapped up cloth and gave Rasco a map and a sack. None of them opened anything, they were too sad to. They knew that mother was going to send them away. Apart from Rook of course, he’s just a young kitten. Laz pulled a book from the bookshelf and the wall opened. It was a tunnel. They didn’t want to leave but they knew they had to. They said their goodbyes and entered the tunnel.

They could hear faint footsteps coming up the stairs very slowly. As Raksin argued about staying or not while Rook relentlessly cried wanting his father. Only Rasco was willing to go into the tunnel. Gorm was on the same floor as them. Laz pushed them further in the tunnel as fast as she could, shut the door and locked it.

The rabbits were equipped and ready for the journey, at least Rasco was. Rasco gave the sack to Raskin so she could carry Rook.

The tunnel was long and Raskin was being a bad leader so Rasco took over as she had the map. Raskin slowed down to have a peak of what was wrapped in the cloth. A knife.
“Rasco, look!” Shouted Raskin. Rasco came over and saw a knife in her brother’s hands. She also saw a note. It read:

My dearest children, if you are reading this that means that Gorm has taken over the warren. I will tell you about the knife. The knife was a gift from the Goddess, it will cut through anything but iron. Use it wisely and don’t die.

They stared at the knife for a moment. Then looked up and saw the end of the tunnel but it was night time so they decided to rest as they knew it was safest. They ate some food and suddenly got tired. As they drifted off to sleep they could hear sudden footsteps…
