Christopher chuckled at the sight. He took off his coat, hung it up, and then sank into a seat across the table from Flurry. “I heard that you have yourself a baby reeyu out there.”
“Uh huh!” Flurry replied, while he stuffed his mouth with another cookie.
“Where did you get it?” Christopher asked.
“Oh, come on! You know,” Flurry replied. His concentration did not break from the cookies for even a moment. Christopher was amused by the cub’s response. Flurry then added, “I do have one question. The day I was born, did you know that it was me?”
Christopher chuckled and winked at the bear cub. “Well now, I can’t reveal all of my secrets. But for you … let’s just say that I had a hunch. Why else would I have given you that book?” After a brief pause, a grin came to Christopher’s face. He remarked, “You know, it does have your initials on the back, after all.”
Flurry looked up at the man, surprised, and grinned nervously. Christopher broke the tension by laughing, and Flurry joined in. Their laughter was interrupted by a knock at the door. Catherine opened the door to reveal a red panda.
“Chingu!” Flurry shouted. He jumped down from the chair and ran over to give him a hug. “I’ll show you what I have for you. I think you’ll love it.”
Flurry led Chingu by the paw to a barn. As they entered, there sat a purple-colored reeyu infant. Chingu’s eyes widened with delight. He did not have a reeyu of his own. Most of his older brothers did, but he never had the privilege. He looked back at Flurry and nodded with approval.
“I thought you would be the perfect match for her, but when I come to visit, I get first dibs on a ride.” Flurry’s comment was met with a small grin. “Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Her name is Faith!”

Back in the past, Lotora stood in the ruins of Ursidea to oversee the final work on burying the city. They created a warning plaque to put on the pedestal to prevent anyone from touching it and suffering Jack’s fate. The crystal glowed with brilliant yellow light.
Another raccoon approached her. He was elderly and wore bifocals. He carried a number of books and scrolls. He set his items down on a table and pulled a thin, metal plate from the bag at his side.
“Here it is!” he said. “I shall read it to you. ‘Frozen in time, Frost will keep. Deep underground, Jack will sleep. By the origin paw, may the ice be moved. If so you do, all will be doomed. Beautiful and lovely, the gem may be. Remove it and find trouble indeed.’ What do you think?”
Lotora stood there and thought about it for a moment. Then she replied. “Well, it’s already done, so go ahead and attach it to the pedestal. However, I think we should add something more down below it.”
“Okay,” said the elderly raccoon. “I have my chisel set with me. Let me write it down. What else do you want to add?”
Lotora said, “Add the phrase, ‘Flurry, don’t even think about it!’”
ABOUT J.S. SKYE
J.S. Skye grew up in the Midwestern region of the United States. At a very young age, it was apparent that he was very talented. Finding that he was gifted in music and art, he plunged himself into both. As time passed, he set aside music to focus even more of his attention on developing his skills as an illustrator.
All throughout his years in school, J.S. Skye spent every available moment creating and developing fictional worlds. Caring about realism, he developed multiple people groups, countries, worlds, and even languages. His fictional realms were created through both written and visual mediums.
After traveling to almost a dozen different countries and studying different cultures, J.S. Skye decided to implement his interests in ancient cultures, history, languages, mythology, and more into his writings. He decided it was best to pour his heart and passion into writing instead of having divided interests between both art and literature.
J.S. Skye has accumulated a fairly large collection of his various writings. These stories range from all types of different genres such as mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and even horror. Friends encouraged the aspiring writer to produce a novel and see how things progressed from there.
J.S. Skye’s first novel, The Granted Wish, was met with cheerful affirmation. The positive feedback was overwhelming and unexpected. Fans of his Flurry the Bear novels grew and began to clamor for more. From this point forward, his first novel series came to be.
