       ~ ~ ~  LOG ~ ~ ~

Karth stared at the large bird, he didn’t trust it as he keep his longbow stringed and arrows in his quiver at the ready in case of trouble. He then cleared his throat” Why come all this way from the abbey when this creature could end up bring forth your death?”

Leon came when he was asked and quietly did his job best he could as he was in healer mode. He was listening yes but he never spoke unless it was important when he was busy doing his job. He finally spoke as he starting sewing a wound on the wing “The herbs in the pouch at its head are of a form the  Flitchaye make, it helps them stay in a sort of deep sleep and helps me to better, well help them.”

Karth crossed his arms over his chest ”The what? Never heard of them and the name doesn’t sound friendly”

Xander came walking into the clearing to check on the large bird and quietly waited to speak, for now he was here to see how things were going.

Moseley lays there, totally in dream land, only making a sort  of crrrrrrr noise every so often and his breathing, so far, was normal as was his heart beat.

Leon fixes a couple feathers carefully, he only had trouble once so far when a couple foxes helped him move the dislocated wing. One of the foxes got jabbed in the footpaw with the long bill and Leon had to bandage the fox’s footpaw. Both foxes had since left. The Master Healer stood” Skinny weasels who live in a forest north of Mossflower Woods , they use to be along the river Moss but I talked them into going north again. e Flitchaye terrorized passing travelers by sending them to sleep with drugged herbal smoke, before capturing, looting, and torturing them.”

Karth takes all this in, “And you talked to them, you seem to like to endanger your life so why use something from what should be enemies?”

Xander just stays where he is as he listens to them speak.

Rayen wheeled in, offering an excuse me please and going to where Leon was “Here Brother Leon some more of the herb you needed and a splint, need any help?”

Leon shakes his head “Thank you Rayen, I  am fine for now . I never said they were friend, I saved the chieftains son so they repaid the favor and they also let me and some friends pass on the way back from a trip to Salamandastron. If I didn’t use a slightly different version of their herbs it would be a lot harder to help some more seriously injured beasts. I even taught a couple others how to use them, but also at the same time not knock themselves out doing so…wetting the herbs in a cloth  and making a sort of mask over the nose and mouth slightly keeps the one needing maybe surgery or a serious wound sew…passed out while I tend to them and they wake shortly after I am done. It has saved more than a few lives” He  examines the wing ‘I will need help getting the splint on the wing..” He looks at the sea otter and also sees Xander” Xander would you and the sea otter here like to help me get the splint on the wing?”

Karth speaks now, “Its Karth Riverbark not sea otter.” His voice sounds annoyed as he speaks “And I rather not go near a large bird that could slay me easily.”

Xander frowns but he does go to help hold the wing out for whomever is gonna splint it.

Rayen carefully gets the splint on the wing and steps back.

Which was most likely a good plan as the herons eyes snap open and he shows how he is clearly awake and  goes to stand, only to fall forwards. “Vhat is this? Vhy trap Moseley ? Demand reply!”

Leon keeps his distance as he speaks “I am Brother Leon of Redwall, the Master healer and this is Rayen Master Healer of Ferravale, we are helping you as you had two arrows in your wing and it was bend some in a crash. You will need to take it easy a few days. We mean you no harm and we hope you mean us no harm.”

Karth feels his paw drift to the longbow and then fall to his side as he watches the large bird.

Xander keeps alert, very alert and speaks “I am Xander Winters..leader of the Mossflower Defenders and you are safe where you are. Your beside the base in fact. We can help you with food also, maybe protection if needed till you heal”

Rayen nods a hello and wheels back a little more ”I can let Blisa know he is awake, should I do that?”

Moseley looks from beast to beast ”Require food, get food now!”

Leon frowns, he nods to Rayen ”Yes please…” He looks back to the large bird starting to dislike it some now.

Karth walks a little closer” Well your rude, so maybe learn some manners bird.”

Xander holds up a paw, ”Karth….” He takes a deep breath” Karth is correct, your need to be polite to us as we want to be friends. I will not let anyone and I don’t care who they are, be rude and demanding of me or my friends You will also not try and harm any beast while you’re here.”

The heron eyes the badger and then quiets “Moseley is sorry…..please need foods and make plenty soon”

Leon sighs, “I should get back to the abbey, you can handle this then Xander?”

Karth leans against  a nearby tree, “If he needs help he has me and my longbow, and the rest of the defenders”

Xander nods “Yes I can handle this thank you Brother Leon” He then thinks for a moment, “Fish and shrimp ok? Maybe some scones and water?”

Moseley nods “Yes…thank you I do”

Leon decides to head back to the abbey, he rather not stay too long and he left herbs and things with Rayen as she is a healer so she should be able to still help the heron without his help.

Soon fish, shrimp, bread and scones are brought and a large barrel of water for the large heron. Xander makes sure no beast is hurt as he watches the bird curious of it.

Moseley eats and drinks his full as he too keeps an eye on the badger “Maybe I join this…Defenders of the Mossflower…yaaaaa.” He then gets comfortable ”Moseley sleep now…” He is soon asleep

Karth watches from the tree, “I  still am not sure of the bird sir”

Xander turns to look at the sea otter” If he wanted to hurt us he would of done so already. I  can trust you to take first watch for a few hours right? I need to walk my Uncle Oz and Krisha home to the abbey” He will wait on the reply and then head to Ferravale, being back by nightfall.

Karth nods “Yes sir.” He leaves it at that as he stands guard, to watch the bird for any signs of trouble, as well as signs of trouble in the area.
