Courage of the heart

[Video / Action]

[ The mud bubbled and popped as the cement block slowly began to sink beneath the dark brown liquid earth. The cries of the children… “Mother, mother! There’s mud coming in!”

And she couldn’t do anything! The block was too heavy to lift! The pulleys and ropes the rats had been using to move her home were destroyed!

Mrs. Brisby was frantic as she ran back in forth trying in vain to secure fresh rope lines to her home. To save her children, the ones she cared the most about! But, the lines kept snapping and the mud kept pulling.
Finally as she was grabbed from behind by one the rats trying to help and pulled to safety before she too was sucked down into the mud.
She didn’t want to leave them! Her children! The rat had too strong a hold on her and no amount of struggling allowed her to break free and run back to her sinking home.

NO!

The cement block disappeared below the waves of dark mud. Her children were gone…

Suddenly a brilliant light flashed to life. A bright red glow that for a moment blinded everything. The stone she was wearing around her neck, filled with the courage of a heart struggling to save those most precious to her, unleashed its power.
The nightmare duck shuddered and melted beneath the warm light… freeing Mrs. Brisby from her nightmare and leaving her exhausted from the event. ]

Most impressive, little one... You broke free rather quickly. Are you all right?

Yes, it was. There are... ...rubber ducks terrorizing the worlds, it seems. Forcing unsuspecting victims into nightmares.

That... would.. explain everything.

[His words were halting and more to himself. Basil had always wondered why Mrs. Brisby's hands hand been so horribly burned upon her arrival. The nightmare was so vivid, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic.]

Are you, alright Mrs. Bramble?

[It did not however make him any better with names]

[As tragic as the dream was, it was a pity.. in a sense that he'd been unable to get a clear look of... her...children. It would have aided the search... though after that]

Of course. You should take all the time you need to recover.

[Listens to the follow up]

Is.... that stone, how you managed to rescue your children?

[Hates to ask the obvious, but the nightmare made the outcome look quite grim]

[He listens calmly, then he regrets having asked. He didn't mean to force her to focus more on the unpleasant memories. The power of that seemingly harmless bobble is quite remarkable]

[He can't very well reach out to her from here... nor is Basil the past with emotional situations]

There, there... everything... is alright now. There's nothing to be upset about.

[Doesn't realize that she might just want to get it out of her system]

I'm sure... thanks to your efforts. Your family must be doing fine.

You don't need to apologize, Mrs Brisby. [Do not expect him to get it right again XD] It's perfectly understandable. Really.
