Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in a certain boy’s adventures because the Amaranthine Saga & Songs are mine. Please continue to indulge the lot of us, especially the one being used.

Your Trickster

Torloo turned his head, gazing out at cloudy skies and the rain-lashed forest beyond their cozy shelter.

Coop didn’t think anything of it… until the wolf’s tail puffed.

“Something happening?”

“Yes.” Torloo said, “Mutt found them.”

“His person?”

“No. The one who used you.”

If Coop had one, his tail would have puffed, too.

Torloo’s dad arrived with Salali. The squirrel clansman announced, “We found your trickster.”

“A coyote?”

“Yes.” Salali traded a look with Ninook, then said, “They’re in some distress. Will you come?”

Coop asked, “Is it Chumani?”

“We don’t know,” said Ninook. “He didn’t give a name.”
