Snowdrop was an almost pure white badger.The only spot not white was a tuff of black head fur and her left paw. Her eyes were a stunning blue and she worn simple clothing. She was a hermit and so spent most of her time alone,mostly her time.

But an old family friend was coming to visit and for some reason it made her uneasy. She decided to not worry about it as she sat on her small porch and drank some dandelion tea.

Her cottage was by a hillside, fairly deep in the woods and a bit into a sort of hilly hollow in the woods, small in size and a meadow was nearby, a large one she would gather herbs in when it wasn't winter.

The quiet would last a few moments longer, that's when a group arrived. A group of squirrels,mice, and hares lead by a short hare with a top hat. He played the flute and tosses it in the air to do a cartwheel and then catches it as he enters into view and grins." Milo is here have no fear of boredom old lass."

A wagon painted bright colors was pulled into the meadow, on it read =Milo's Traveling Entertaining Friends=.

Snowdrop got off the porch and went over to the hare. " Who you callin' old Milo,we are de same age."

Milo chuckled as he hugged and shrugged." Maybe so but I get out a lot more than you do Snowdrop,You should go with us ta Redwall Abbey, we are heading thar to spread some cheer and chase away winter blues, ya know spring is in 3 or 4 weeks after all."

As he speaks his group of beasts, about 50 in total, start to sit up some tents. There is even a place to sit up a large campfire. Seems they plan to stay a few days

Sundrop smiles, but shakes her head." You go, you know I dislike large places like that. As for you and your friends staying in the meadow,I don't know. It is a bit too open an area, even if its deep in the woods." Shs glaces at the hillside before focusing on him again." I saw a strange fox up on the hilltop,and have seen smoke from there too."

Milo takes her paw" One strange fox...lass I am sure they would flee from you old warrior lass, and you blend in fairly well right now."He grins spreading out his paws at the snow all around them.

Snowdrop shakes her head buts smiles, " You have a point,few mess with a badger.Fine stay a couple days, then be on your way to Redwall I am sure they will love to have you."

Milo just nods, "Thank you lass, but I still say tag along, we can even come back this way afterwards and drop you off back home. Redwall has de best food in all the known world. Drinks also are thar and tis a beautiful place to see."

Snowdrop sighs, then replies." Fine, if nothing else to keep an eye on you in case there is trouble around, as you said few mess with a badger.You would be safer and..your right I should get out more it's just been hard since my grandparents death, this winter has been tough. "

Milo nods," Palestripe and Barkpaw will be missed." He then smiles and goes to pull towards where the group is camping. " Come lass, a bowl of my veggie soup and plate cheese tarts await you.Also some cherry wine. "

Snowdrop follows her hare friend into camp and smiles, her worries are forgotten for now.

There is food, there is stories to tell, there is music and dance and time to enjoy life and set aside worries.

But they are being watched as a dark shape speeds off into the darling night and lands beside a wildcat with a scar on his face. The wildcat gives the bat a bit of dried fruit." Well?"

The bat eats it's food and answers. "High Emperor Zoltar its but a band of entertainers and there is an old badger maid in the cottage off the meadow. They seem unconcerned with us as they sing and eat. They on way to Redwall, Redwall."

Zoltar nods. " How nice. The abbey could use some cheer I am sure,sadly they won't make it to Redwall."His tail flicks and an arrow buried itself into the bat killing it instantly" Oh, so sorry this is just my way to make sure my surprise is not messed up, and that no others know where I am,one can't be too careful after all...Das!"

A beast in a cloak comes over and nods. "Yes sur.."

Zoltar grins. " Tell the others to meet me in the main cavern, there is a party and I was not invited. I need to let them know how that makes me feel."

Das nods and hurries off.

Soon a meeting with the small horde of 30, and also a group of 20 foxes with an old vixen await what is to be said.

Zoltar smiles coldly. " There is a traveling group to visit, we shall strike tomorrow night, let them relax and believe to be safe, they can enjoy one...last...day of life." The cold smile stays and his eyes show delight.
