Piketail - River Colony Ranger

Parents: Rapidsnap and Creekbend

Siblings: Swiftmask and Minnowgill

Currently training Falcon

Bold and cunning, Piketail loves her stupid brothers even if they are daft pretty much all the time. She takes little notice of her mother’s snobbish comments and tries to encourage Minnowgill when those same comments get him down…toms are so sensitive! 

Piketail used to love hanging out with her brothers and Wolfthorn when they were all New-Claws, but Swiftmask and Minnowgill grew apart as Rangers and Wolfthorn left the Colony to sate his wanderlust. Luckily Piketail still has her reasonable best friend Silverblaze. They spend a lot of time working with the Colony’s mentors, training Ivy and Falcon with the other New-Claws. It’s a good distraction for Piketail, otherwise her mind races with conspiracy theories. And she loves spending time with her friend and her niece, anyway. 

Piketail can be pretty intense and usually isn’t afraid to speak her mind…unless she thinks it might get her killed…

Secretly, Piketail wants to figure out a way to get rid of Captain Rainfall–and of course also Rainfall’s sadistic brother and Second, Iceclaw. She can’t prove it, but she knows that blood is on their paws! Pondripple was last seen arguing with Rainfall about the Elders situation, and then he disappears? Streamleap? Lilypond? Floodrush? Blazeheart is still missing and no one even seems to care! Or is too scared to talk about it. Beachnose never came back after patrol… So many Rangers. It’s too much to be a coincidence. 

Her brother Swiftmask doesn’t believe that such heinous crimes could be committed by cats chosen by the Spirits Beyond. Come on, Swiftmask! How can you be so blind?! Piketail sees the potential for her brother to one day become River Colony’s Captain. The Colony admires his courage, integrity, and fair judgement. If only he saw it himself. Saw what good he could do. Brought justice back to River Colony! 

“I will uncover this! And when I do, you will have no choice but to act!”

Piketail knows she must be cautious in her investigations. It’s hard to know who to trust in the Colony, otherwise she could end up under the Second’s murderous claws…

As a small thank you to everyone who has ever read or suported me or my work, I'd like to present a small snippet from the Dumpling rewrite.

"The Uphill River"

An Excerpt from Chapter 7

She had wondered all day where her shoes had gotten to, but she could not care less of the worn slippers. Though the parchment map was mostly intact, the ink was terribly faded and there was a large rip in the corner that extended through the blackwoods and several of the small town names were completly illegible. Clearly it had been washed with her clothes.

Nenani stared miserbly and could feel all hope of finding her uncle slipping through her fingers. She laid it flat onto the table with trembling hands and pointed to where the Daehil-Nenani river began its winding path southward. “I was going here…to Creekbend. A-and then…I was gonna go and maybe look around… these towns.”

Farris hummed as he leaned over her, looking at the map. He frowned. “I’m afraid yer map’s no good, lil’un.”

“No, it’s fine. I can still read most of it.” It was hard to tell if she was trying to convince Farris or herself.

“Not what I meant,” he said and swept a finger across the tiny map. “Those little towns there at the base of the Blackwood? Those were all raided and destroyed during the war. None of them exist anymore.”

“W-what?” She wheeled on him. “No! Why? What?”

“Nethrin burned every one of those lil' towns to the ground. If there’s anyone there now, ye want nothing to do with them. It’s not a place for a lil’ girl to be wandering around by herself.”

Nenani continued to stare unblinking at the map, feeling her insides pull and push with growing nausea. “But she said that’s where he would be,” she said in a voice barely above a whisper. “She said…”

“Who said?”

“…the witch.”

“Witch?” Farris asked, eyes narrowing. “What witch?”

“The bone witch. She…she said he went north and he was waiting for me to find him,” Nenani starred at the map as the features blurred behind the gathering tears.

“Bone witch?” he repeated with growing incredulity. “Ye mean to tell me that ye risked yer damn life on nothing but the words of some raging nutter off her head waving pig bones at ye?”

His words hurt more than anything as she came to the slow horrible realization of just how true they were. She had been so desperate for anything that would lead her to Halden, that she would have willfully believed anything. Halden was her last connection to her family and happier times. But he could be anywhere in the world.

“She tricked me,” Nenani said after a long silence. She wiped at her wet cheeks. Her throat ached and the words felt too heavy to push passed her lips. “I was just trying to find him. He promised. He promised me he would come back…but he never did. He promised me.” Her hands clenched and the parchment beneath her fingers crumbled. She had been such a fool. And now she was leagues away from anywhere close to familiar, alone, and at the mercy of a giant from whom she had stolen from. It was the cruelest of jokes and she cursed whichever gods were laughing at her misery. She sucked in a shuddering breath and lifted her head to meet Farris’s hard gaze. “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. Please believe me.”

Farris pursed his lips as though holding back what he truly wished to say. Instead, he idly swirled the hot tea in his cup and took the human sized one into his palm. With surprising deftness, he tipped some of the steaming liquid into it without spilling a drop. “I believe ye, Dumplin’,” he said gently and held out to her. “Drink. It’ll help.”

She didn’t bother questioning him and simply took the cup, mechanically raising it to her lips and taking the tiniest of sips. She reared back with a grimace. “Ugh! Oh, what is this?”

With a suppressed grin, Farris shrugged and took a drink from his own cup. “Tea.”

She stared at the dark liquid with uncertainty. It was sour and heavily medicinal and though it did not carry the pungent and bitter quality of pure cayne leaf he'd fed her before, it was not very pleasant. And was oddly minty.

“Honey helps,” Farris remarked with a chuckle and went to fetch some. “Have to make it sweet for the brat too just to get him to take it at all. I suppose ye’ll be much the same.”

Honey did help somewhat, but not enough to entice her to try for another sip. Farris did not seem to have any sort of objection to the taste and drank his as easily as if it plain water. With her cup still mostly full, Nenani gazed woefully up at him. “Do…do I have to drink it all?”

She had expected him to growl at her, but he just nudged her shoulder gently with a knuckle. “It helps settle a fidgety mind.”

“I don’t have a fidgety mind.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Dumplin’, everything about ye is fidgety. Drink.” She could not bring herself to drink anymore and just stared down at it glumly, tipping the cup this way and that. Farris frowned and sighed through his nose. “Tell ye what. I know the head of a collection of human villages not too far from here. They get their fair share of wayward wanderers and lost souls. I’ll send him a letter asking if he might know of this uncle of yer’s. If he’s been by this way within the last year or so, Gregis would be the one to know. Might even be able to tell us where he is.”

Nenani nearly dropped the cup as she scrambled to her feet clumsily with wide hopeful eyes. “What? You do? Where? When? Can you send the letter now? Can we go there?”

Nenani’s mind raced and she started to look around for a way down off the table; filled with undirected energy and still clutching the cup of tea in both hands. “I know my letters, I can help write it too!”

Two calloused hands reached out to hold her bodily in place and she began to push against them, but stopped when she caught sight of Farris’s stern expression.

“Fidgety,” he said pointedly.

It's pretty freaking cold everywhere in the United States and Canada right now, so it's a good a time to talk about Icewine. In this episode, we drink the 2017 Vidal Blanc Ice Wine from Oliver Winery in Illinois, alongside an example from China. It's pretty freaking cold everywhere you go east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States and Canada right now, so it seemed like as good a time as any to talk about Ice wine.
