The McBear Ferretden Clan sat around their hearth enjoying the warmth from the embers of the once crackling fire. The weather had been frightful of late and their was an unrest in the land that they all could feel. Each clan member took a small bite of the cheweasel that they were sharing before passing it on the the next member of the clan. About that time a gust of cold air came through the door at the same time the youngest of the clan, Rowdy McBear, came busting in. Indeed, Rowdy McBear had brought lots of news concerning the situation that was heating up between the Clan McFarlane, the Clan of the War Weasels, the Clan of McFutzle, the Clan of McFerret and the Oracle. Unknown to the young McBear the 'Sukie' had been evoked. They had heard the legend but thought she was surely just a myth. Those stories were used to scare the youngest clan members and had been passed down through the years. Of course, they knew the other clans and for some time had known that the McFarlane Clan had many disagreements and had been warring amongst themselves. Everyone knew of the Oracle and that she was one not to be trifled with, especially if your clan was not in her good graces. Just what part would the Clan McBear Ferretden play in this? That was the question the McBear Clan was asking themselves and the answer was of utmost importance. [Posted in FML issue 4128]
