Krisha got kidnapped and the kidnappers want Cythina?! (RWA log)
Happens shortly after this log: http://forum.rwmuck.org/viewtopic.php?id=366 and happens at the same time as this: http://forum.rwmuck.org/viewtopic.php?id=367
SCENE: Redwall Abbey Entry
CHARACTERS: Leon, a male mouse. DoraRose, a female mouse; a spoofed magpie. Emyuil, a male mouse.
LOG:
Leon walks across the open ground and to the entry, he had just finished giving the abbot an updated supply list, checked on some beasts in the infirm and was heading to his home for a couple hour break.
Atop the western walls, Emyuil Half-Rat gazes down towards the Dirt Road. Just what he's waitiing for remains to be seen, but despite the summer heat, he remains vigilant, staring down at the road as the heat makes it shimmer in his vision.
DoraRose comes out of the Gatehouse and smiles when she sees her husband. "Oh, hi, honey. How's your day going?" She has yet to notice her brother up on the wall. In the distance (but closing rapidly), a small black shape is flying through the air from the direction of Ferravale. It's a bird of some kind...
Leon smiles "Going well so far just taking a couple hour break. I think Caleb is most likely with Cynthia inside knowing them they both sleep in today"
Emyuil hears voices and adjusts his stance slightly so he can look down at his sister and brother-in-law. He starts to descend, but then happens to glance over his shoulder and spot the dark speck to the north. He moves quicker now as he continues his descent, soon standing next to Leon and DoraRose. "Hey, we've got something flying our way from the north," he says casually.
DoraRose smiles, a little sadly. "The twins have grown up so much....it makes me a little sad..." she is interrupted by her brother, but she's not bothered by it. "Something flying? Great. Could you tell how big it is?" The black spot (which is nothing more than a magpie messenger from Ferravale) continues to grow closer....
Leon says, "Yeah I know but guess all beasts grow up some day...."He looks over at the sky "Hmmms friend or foe? Then could be a message as if was foe think we would known by now"
"Decently sized," Emyuil says evenly. "Around crow-size, maybe a little bigger or smaller. Anyhow if it was gonna hurt us it'd have to get low enough for us to hurt it in return..."
Suddenly, a magpie lands on the ground in front of them!! Dora gives a holler and instinctively goes to shove her husband out of the way of the perceived danger and simultaneously kicks out at the bird. The blackbird just hops out of range and caws a little. "You must be the DoraRose Strongheart Ferdinand ferret told me of! I have message from the Chieftain; want to hear it?" Because this bird is obviously irritating and possibly sarcastic.
Leon lands on his bottom and looks up at the bird, birds always did make him tense, even if he did have a bird, a rather large one, as a friend once, it was one bird out of many as others were mostly unfriendly...well a couple sparrows were ok and sort of friendly.
As DoraRose hollers, Emyuil nearly leaps for the bird, checking himself just in time. When the bird declares its task, he tilts his head to listen, heart rate slowing down again as he breathes deeply.
DoraRose refrains from sarcasm and from rolling her eyes. "Yes, please." The magpie nods, and declares, "Blisa Wyrmtamer sent me to say that a badgermaid, daughter of the village Blacksmith, has been kidnapped and that the kidnappers want Cynthia mouse as an exchange!" The bird, looking very pleased with itself, starts preening a wing. Well, it delivered the message. Now it wants candied nuts, but is hoping that they'll just offer some. Rose opens her mouth, then exclaims in a shrill voice, "There is no way I'm gonna let some hooligan take my new daughter-in-law!!"
Leon frowns, "Someone has Krisha? Does Xander know? ...Who has her and when was this?" He tries to think and then makes a fist with his good paw as if he may of just figured it out, but then seems unsure of his own thoughts.
Emyuil's face darkens. "You're kidding..." After a moment, he reconsiders. "No, you're not." He glances to DoraRose. "Ready to hunt, 'rose? I can get my sword whenever you're ready."
DoraRose scowls. "Of course I am! But I think we shouldn't necessarily goes dashing after them. I'm sure Blisa has more information; we should stop in Ferravale first and see what more she knows." She leans over and goes to help her husband stand up off the ground. "Do you have any ideas, Leon?" The magpie looks abashed; what about the candied nuts it was expecting as payment? "Er, I dunno. I only told you mousies what Ferdinand ferret told me Blisa cat wanted me to say."
Leon nods "I have an idea and sounds like something he do but seems he has helpers...could be Drake, he did try and ruin the wedding and he does have a good reason to try and hurt someone Xander is close to seeing as Xander literally threw him out the abbey gates"
Emyuil nods slowly. "I don't know the beast, but if he did what you say he did, that makes sense. Besides, it'd have to be someone close--it's oddly specific to go after Cynthia; I mean, how many beasts outside Ferravale and Redwall know she exists at all, much less want to hurt her?"
DoraRose's jaws are clenched, and her blue eyes are flashing. The magpie takes one look at her and suddenly decides against asking for candied nuts. "Well, uh, I, uh, guess I'll go, uh, let them know you're coming!" With an awkward flap of its wings, the magpie leaves and goes back to Ferravale. The female mouse watches the bird go, and nods. "I remember; I would've thrown him out myself if Xander hadn't. And I would've been harsher, too. Poor Cynthia; she was so shaken up by it...." she looks down at her dress. "I need to change into my pants; there's no way I can fight in a skirt. And the sooner we leave, the sooner we can find out who is behind it...and if it's Drake, then so help me, I'm gonna tan his sorry hide!" And she means it, too!
Leon frowns "Someone Cynthia knows seems he.....well he interrupted the wedding and even told Benar there could still be a wedding if he married him and Cynthia. Answer was Drake was escorted out of the abbey by Xander and the wedding was finished after a few moments. Cynthia had ran out and Benar followed her and then came back and her and Caleb was married, then later was the Summer Feast and no one thought any more of Drake....well 'til now, seems he is still troble"
"Well, that's just great," Emyuil sighs, after listening intently to Leon. After that, he ducks to the cottage briefly to retrieve his sword; when he returns, his blade is in its sheath, strapped to his back but ready to be drawn at a moment's notice. Then, he waits for DoraRose.
DoraRose sighs. "Great." She then goes into the Gatehouse and emerges a few minutes later in her black outfit. Going to where the weapons are stored, she gets her sword, but leaves her axe; she probably will be okay without it. Returning to her male family members, she nods. "Okay, let's go. I'll be careful, sweetheart, don't worry; I'll try to be back by Saturday." She goes to give her husband a kiss, then leads the way out the gates...
Leon if able will hug her and nods, he knows she is a good fighter and also Emyuil is with her. He slowly heads back to the infirmary as break is basically over (Logger's note: Dora let her husband hug her 
)
Emyuil heads out in his sister's wake, nodding a quick goodbye to Leon. His paws are steady; he's cool and collected right now, but in combat that may yet change. "Where do we start?" he calls after DoraRose....
~*END*~
Will they be able to find out who is really behind the kidnapping? Is it Drake, or some other dastardly monster? Are they walking into a trap? Will Krisha die?? WILL THERE BE COOKIES AFTERWARDS?! Stay tuned for new logs to find out!
