==a Master Healer for Ferravale is gained and a Recorder for Redwall Abbey is Gained, as well as much needed forgiveness for some beast ===

RW Abbey:Cavern Hole
===================
This room is slightly smaller than Great Hall, but still of a size large enough to accommodate a great number of gathered beasts. A large fireplace is set into one of the walls, and there are a series of small tables and chairs near one end for beasts who are eating late, or simply prefer the smaller tables for their meals. Cushions and blankets have been set in one corner. A short flight of steps leads up to Great Hall, and along the walls of the stairs, going both ways, the word 'Redwall' has been carved into the stone.
=====================

Rayen sits in her wheelchair staring at the wall. She rarely left her room, even after she healed. A claw mark on her face has the left over scar, she has her left ear missing and she rarely spoke much, but she wanted to talk today after most were out and about.   

Leon sat down and studied the vixen "So...what is important? And it’s good to see you out and about now Rayen"   

Also in the room was the badger Oz as he raised an eyebrow as he listened. Sister Jenny tended to the dibbuns, also beside him as a Sister Andrea and a Brother Tim.   

Rayen looks up from her seat and frowned "I'm....leaving. I can stay in Ferravale but I can't stay here...not after all" She sighs and looks at the floor" I helped him, I helped in his plans, most of them and warned no one, pretended I didn’t know where Benar was when I did, I stood there as Quade had Bolt...k...kill Sister Zinnia. And when I did...try and get the key to the cell that’s when Quade..tried to end me.I...I lied to friends and family and been doing a lot of thinking while I recovered and...well I don’t belong here anymore."   

Benar is standing in the doorway to the kitchen listening to Rayen speak. He glances around the room to see who else is present but for now stays back, listening and watching.   

Leon listens and is unsure of a reaction. He did remember seeing the fox slip off during the funeral but thought nothing of it and figured an ambush happen outside that day as she is a healer and he knew Quade was after healers too." Ummmm..."He sighs as he was never good at tough descions" What would you do there?" He is still thinking as even though it’s the past and she did quit it seems he is still not sure of a reply just yet.   

The vixen glances at Oz who has been quiet

Oz clears  his throat" What was done in helping Quade was...not right and things could of turned out a lot worse. We were lucky Minsc and Gorvenalus escaped and managed to warn the abbey in time of Quade and Abbot Benar was rescued by the Mossflower Defenders and Quade was defeated and is no longer a threat." Yes some thought needs put into decisions.   

Benar walks forwards from the doorway, sandals tapping on the stones, "Rayen, you are not the first beast of Redwall to be tricked into giving aid to a beast who meant us ill," He stops next to Leon, "Nor will you be the last, if you had not helped Quade others would have. He tricked us all and you should not feel like you have to leave your home over it."   

Rayen speaks quietly or stats to before a very grumpy vole "She should be banished" The vixen frowns more now “Maybe the vole is right and what would I do, don’t know they don’t have a good healer in Ferravale" She looks up as she hears Benar " But...I knew it was wrong and keep doing it, I knew he was going to try and capture you by the river that day, I didn’t know Sister Zinnia was near there too, she was on that boat her and her mate had and was walking by the river and overheard us, she was going to warn you and I tried to get her to leave, but before she did Quade's band stopped her, Quade told me to kill her and I refused so he had his 2nd in command do it, he fired off the arrow and....I just watched, I didn’t try and stop it....she could still be alive and her mate and 2 dibbuns wouldn’t of left Mossflower." She shakes her head as tears come" I couldn’t of saved her...the arrow hit her heart, even Brother Leon can't save a beast with that kind of wound"
   
Leon nods "I remember Takeo  carrying  her inside the abbey and that’s correct nothing could of been done even if someone was there at that moment" He nods to Benar.   

Benar gives the vole a stare and then turns to Rayen, "Yes you aided him, but you know what he would have done if you had stopped? Killed you. Zinnia would still have been on the river bank that day and he'd have killed her then as well, regardless of if you were involved or not. That is what he was like, a monster who tricked people and used them and when he was done killed them."   

Rayen speaks "But...still I betrayed trust. I lied. It may be best if I stayed at Ferravale, I could still be close and as said maybe help them have a head healer in Ferravale as its needed."   

Leon says, "Quade tricked a lot of beasts into thinking he was a friend...he also hurt a lot of beasts"   

Gorvenalus started to walk into the room and stopped as he saw the gathered beasts and caught a few of the words. He stayed by the entry door as to not disturbed them.   

Benar says, "At the end of the day Rayen, it must be your choice and Ferravale could do with a good healer. but know you are welcome here in Redwall, I forgive you for your part in the Quade incident, whatsoever it may have been"

Oz nods “I for one forgive you of past deeds, it’s the past you are forgiven Rayen”

Rayen looks surprised "You...you forgive me?" A few tears fall and she looks ready to hug Benar but holds back, "I....thank you for your forgiveness Abbot Benar it...it means a lot to me"   

Oz excuses himself when an Abbey Sister lets him know a dibbun  needs his attention in a class room.
   
Leon nods "I will add I 2nd a forgiveness and also Ferravale could very well use a healer they lack a good one. I have helped them have some herbs and they have started a herb garden of healing herbs and have an idea where some grow in the woods and meadow"   

Gorvenalus clears his throat" If I am interrupting I will gladly leave the room. I remember this vixen, she did make sure captives had food and water, when other guards would not. She had spoken of whether she should expose Quade or not and how he scared her....Quade was a dangerous beast, one I am sad to say won’t be missed by many, if any at all"   

Benar takes Rayen's hand in his, "There is little to forgive, he drew you into his web of lies and terror and then used you. As badly as he betrayed any of us Rayen. But I forgive you nonetheless and hear even Gorvenalus will speak up in your defense and he has suffered more than anyone"   

Rayen sniffs and lets him hold her paw, "I am sorry for any hurt feelings and not trying to end his terror sooner. I am glad I am forgiven as I was worried all would hate me once the full truth finally got out"   

Leon nods a hello to the beaver before looking at Rayen "You still have friends and the abbeys trust Rayen. And if you decide to live and help in Ferravale it doesn’t mean your any less welcomed here. We can even let them know to approved you as a Master Healer in Ferravale, and could be a way to have better communication between Ferravale and us at the abbey, make sure both have the healing needs and supplies for now and for any possible problems in the future"   

Gorvenalus walks into the room fully now "Yes...Quade caused the downfall of my...home. No one knew he was no friend till it was too late, he even made us think he was helping against the foe, when he was the one in charge of them." He closes his eyes remembering a day some seasons ago and frowns. “I lost my home, family and friends...only recently have I come to think of this abbey as a home and plan to stay here, and help out where I can"   

Benar moves to a seat and settles into it, adjusting his robes, "Indeed Rayen, we all lost things to Quade, and if you do decide to still go to Ferravale I am sure we can help with supplies to get you going"   

Rayen smiles faintly "Thank you. I...I will let you know but I am very much thinking I will go there and my son would come as well or he could stay here with the other dibbuns under Oz's care as some do believe Ferravale to be a little.....well rough around the edges."   

Leon says, "Ferravale does respect Abbey beasts. Woodlanders do have some trouble there but not too much and the peace treaty"
   

Benar says, "That is your call Rayen, your son would be welcome here or in Ferravale I am sure"

Gorvenalus smiles, "See friends are important." He glances at Benar "There is something I have been meaning to ask you Abbot Benar. Of course your decision is final and you can think on this. I have helped to update your Recorder Logs, with some help from others on current events and happenings the past 2-3 seasons. My question is would it be ok to offer my services and continue to help with that? I can offer other skills as well, helping keep lists, maybe just things here and there to help keep things running smoothly in your abbey."   

Rayen nods again and smiles "Thanks Benar" She then lets the beaver speak as she has said what is important to her.   

Leon leans back in his chair when Gorvenalus starts to speak" We don’t have a Recorder not since..."He frowns "Sister Zinnia was the recorder"   

Rayen frowns when the badger is mentioned.   

Benar folds his hands into his lap and nods to Gorvenalus, "I have been aware of your assistance Gorvenalus, the recorder has traditionally been a member of the Order however. Would you wish to join us as well as take on those responsibilities?" He then smiles at Rayen and nods to her, "You are welcome."   
   
Gorvenalus listens and then after a short moment he nods" I would be happy to join your Order. I have studied much though most I already know and hold dear..no violence and to keep peace with nature and those around you. To help those in need...I only wish all would do the same but I know not all wish it...Minsc for example was always set in his warrior ways and finds change troublesome, I worry at times for him"   

Benar says, "Minsc has the warrior's spirit, they always find it hard to settle into the peace of the order," He leans forward and holds out a hand, "I would be glad to call you brother Gorvenalus, and welcome you into our order, and for you to take up the position of Recorder, I don't think someone with your years of experience need start as a novice. I am sure the Elder's will approve it."
   
Rayen smiles as she watches.
   
Leon nods "He has my approval to be a Brother and Recorder. As for Minsc I hope he plans on seeing the abbey as home as well, and if he is concerned he need not join the order to stay, not all residents are in the order"   

Gorvenalus takes the paw and shakes it "I thank you and shall do my best." He smiles. “I hope Minsc does as well but I leave him to decide his own plans in life."   

Benar squeezes Gorvenalus' paw, "Well then I will see to it that it is made official over the next few days when I can get the Elder's together Gorvenalus. We need a recorder so our history is never lost”
   
Rayen nods "A recorder will be most welcome and someone to keep the library looking nice, though all should help with that if one gets a book maybe place it back once done"   

Gorvenalus smiles "Thank you Abbot Benar and yes keeping the library looking nice is important as well, keeping logs in order so past events are easy to find when needed and to teach others history also"   

Krisha slips into the room, still getting used to being here she watches from a few feet away.   

Benar says, "Thank you Gorvenalus and Rayen, I do hope you will stay with us," he stands up slowly, "Well then I should go see if I can round up the elder's and get this sorted out. Thank you for the offer of your help Gorvenalus"

Gorvenalus nods "Of course...." He smiles at the badger maid "Hello Krisha, I do hope I am remembering the name" He has only seen her one other time.   

Krisha nods, she has recently begun speaking again, a word here or there but her voice is a bit rough sounding, well she hasn’t spoken in over 2 seasons so could be why" Y...Yes..." She stays where she is and gives a short wave to the abbot.   

Rayen glances at the badger maid, maybe she did spend too much time cooped up in her room, the badger maid is new, to her anyways.   

Benar inclines his head to the badger maid with a smile on his way past, "Lovely to see you, but I must go, see you all soon"   

Rayen has a lot to think on as she also turns to go, "I..need to think on some things but..most likely will be going to Ferravale and being their Master Healer...if Chieftain Blisa will accept me"   

Gorvenalus says, "I am sure perhaps.  perhaps Abbot Benar can write a letter and a couple order beast accompany you there Rayen"

Rayen smiles "That would be helpful..yes, excuse me I need to do a few things" She exits the room feeling better than she has in several weeks.   

Krisha sits down in one of the large chairs folding her paws into her lap.   

Rayen  doesn’t take too long to make a decision as she passes Oz in the hallway “Oz..”

Oz stops “Hello Rayen, what is it you need”

“I have decided to be Master Healer in Ferravale, I just need the letter from Benar and maybe another order beast and a couple to go with me” The vixen states.

Oz nods “I shall see what I can do”

“Thanks Oz” Rayen says and then goes to her room, to pack and soon start her new job…she is as ready as she will ever be.
