Hidden within the Southwestern region of the Hallowed Forest lives a small family of mice known as the Shortwhiskers. Since they first settled in their small but secluded clearing, they have lived peaceful and uneventful lives. Perhaps it may have remained that way if not for a monstrous serpent who discovered their home and laid waste to it. When the dust had settled, and the beast departed, only two surviving siblings remained. Both siblings now venture out of their homes and into the forest for the first time in their lives. With one sibling seeking revenge against the monster who took everything from them and the other wishing to save them from certain doom; both are willing to endure the perils of the forest to achieve their goals. Little did they know that their journeys would serve as the catalyst for a new era for the denizens of the Hallowed Forest.
