Funeral For Ewan-Redwall Log

It was a snowy cold day in the abbey, some snow started to fall as beasts stood around the graveyard grounds quietly. They were here to lay to rest Ewan, a brave Long Patrol hare who had come to live with them. He lay peacefully on a bed of pine needles and some holly leaves.

Zeldove stood nearby, ears down as she felt the tears fall.She remembered his last words to her, he was falling in love with her, was she having faint feelings for him? She thought of him more like a big brother if anything else and now that big brother, was gone forever.

Xander had his Defenders uniform and cape cleaned up and worn it, the clasp showing him as Leader of The Mossflower Defenders.He sighs and remains quiet for now.

Krisha was not feeling all that great, but she was here for support and Ewan was a friend of her’s, she had the dibbuns inside with Sister Ginny and Sister Anna.

Matilda walked into the graveyard, beside her was Abbot Benar.

Benar had on his abbot robes, and the staff with that little silver bell on it as he walked forwards and laid a paw on Ewan’s forehead and sighs” I had hoped a day like this was not going to be for a long while, the abbey won’t be the same without you here, the Long Patrol won’t be the same without you either.” He turns to the rest of the abbey “Today we lay Ewan into his final resting place, a grave beside the memorial that was made for the Long Patrol members whom lost their lives during the siege with Ormaz. I have wrote up a letter that Zeldove can take with her, to the Badger Lord.” He steps down and will allow anyone to say some words if they wish to.

Zeldove stepped forwards “Ewan..was a dear friend, a..real smart friend, that hare knew his way around places, he read a lot of books and wouldn’t be surprised if he didnt read most or all the books in that library I mean it’s..possible right?” She manages a weak smile and speaks more “I will let the Badger Lord and the Long Patrol hares know of wot happen and deliver any letters..needed” She then steps back before she starts to cry again.

Xander frowns but goes to the front, “Ewan...was a good friend and I will miss him. I meet him when me and some of the other Mossflower Defenders, some  of those are...not around anymore...I helped Ewan at times when he would have a flashback of that siege...he died on the road, he died protecting a family of squirrels from a fox and two weasels, he was braver than he would every say.He will be surely missed by a lot and even though he would say no..the Long Patrol hares will miss him as well”

Krisha stays down by the crowd,she isn't sure what to say without crying a lot.

A few other beasts say some words and step aside.

Benar nods to the moles and Ewan coffin is closed and he is lowered into the ground, Benar says a small prayer and is helped back to the main grounds by Matilda.

Zeldove stands quietly and watches the moles and then walks off quietly and sits on the steps leading up to the wall tops.

Xander walks over “Zeldove? You..want some company?”

Zeldove shakes her head, “Rather nod...sur…”She stays outside and then heads to bed early, she gets up to leave early as well, a small sack of supplies as she waits on who is going along with her, least to Ferravale as once to Ferravale she will have Mack and Silverwing with her.

Gorvenalus walks forwards and gives a nod “Be careful lass, I wish not to write more bad news into the logs of the abbey.” He hands her a small closed folder “Letters to tak with you, mainly to Lord Ciocan though a couple are for Zolomon”

Zeldove nods and then hugs the beaver, once it’s time to head off, she heads off…...once to the river it's a little over a week,  to the westen shore and..Salamandastron.

Govenalus watches her head off and then turns to go back inside the abbey.
