Ratus (Rat-us) the Raccoon was a student at heart. She wanted to learn everything she could about the world. The raccoon goes to Peter Porgin's Scroll Shop in the medieval town to read the scrolls, or at least look at them from afar. One day when Ratus went into the shop, she comes across a young man who buys a scroll. The name of this man, she did not know, but he would do something that would later change her life forever.
