A Hurt Friend
Its short but still good :)
This first part happen Tuesday Night
RW Abbey: Firepit
This is a small strip of land between the pond and the orchards which is bordered on one side by a portion of the Abbey's southern wall. This particular section, while well built and sturdy, is obviously much, much newer than the sections to either side of it. The ground is clear of almost all grass and weeds, and is somewhat uneven, still bearing deep ruts and impressions that have not yet been worn away by the rain. The center of this area contains a large firepit lined with flagstones and encircled with log benches.
Exits: [H]idden [G]ap under Wall, [O]rchards, [P]ath to Abbey Pond
Zork sings, very off key like he usually does but seems in a very good mood tonight.
Silverstorm is at the firepit and has a nice small fire going and seems to be enjoying the evening.
Zork makes his way over to the firepit and waves to the otter "Well ya ere', didn’t think any beast be out ere'"
Silverstorm shrugs "I like it when no one is around, makes it more peaceful like when you do your meditate whatever" She grins.
Zork folds his arms over his chest "It’s something ta calm a beast and clears de mind, tis a good thing and before ya say it it’s not boring, ya just have ta get into it more and ya will then see" He chuckles "And clears stress fairly well also "
Silverstorm nods "If ya be sayin' so, then I suppose looks boring ta me then that’s me and I can feel that way if I want ta"
Zork shakes his head "Anyways, ya seen Kadar around any, I have not seen him today or yesterday tell de truth"
Silverstorm shakes her head "Sorry, last seen him he was stuffing his face at that feast, I may of missed him other days, if so I am sorry"
Zork nods "Tis ok, knowing him he went back ta his little hut, he lives close ta de marketplace where his forge be, maybe we can go visit him"
Silverstorm blinks, "Like right now or you mean in the morning or maybe after lunch?"
Zork nods "We can always stay at his hut and then return in de morning, let’s go lass" He seems very into visiting his friend "It’s just before sundown we can get thar shortly afterwards if leave now"
Silverstorm sighs and gets up to follow, she may as well as she decides she needs something to do tonight may as well be this "Fine led de way"
Zork grins and heads off quickly to the entry and then on out to the woods and on to where ever it is he is going, not too far.
Silverstorm rolls her eyes "For an old beast you move WAY too fast"
Into the nearby Woods
Zork just chuckles as they head down a path
Silverstorm follows and shakes her head, ”Whatever then guess only as old as you feel”
Zork nods and rubs his arm a little, “Yeah, tis true..tis true, not far off now.”
The sounds of arguing is heard, a closer look show two rats, you do it..no you do it..” They fight over a lit torch.
Ryker, a ferret grabs the torch and tosses it at a hut “I will you idiots!” The hut is soon ablaze “Now , I have other matters to tend to..make sure both of those beavers die!” He gets only what he needs, and oddly it’s just his daggers and he keeps other stuff, and his cloak, at the base before heading to the abbey, where he doesn’t plan to stay very long.
The rats nod and head back to the base camp they have, assuming the beavers in the hut will die.
Silverstorm walks along with Zork and sniffs the air, ”Some beast have a campfire or sumthing?”
Zork shrugs and frowns as he sees where the so called Campfire is “Noooo…” He starts running forwards even though that’s a bad idea on his part.
The hut is ablaze now, luckily leaves and stuff had been cleared and there is hardly any wind so, so far not a good chance it will spread and it is by a creek after all. Inside a semi- conscious beaver lays and groans a small cut to the forehead, a gash to the lower right arm and a broken lower leg, he looks around and frowns remembering the attack as he tries to stand and fails badly.
Zork runs over and pants as he is out of breath and frowns “Kadar!” He calls out.
Silverstorm frowns as she looks at the fire, “We need to get it out” She looks around for a way to get water on it, she eeks as lighting singles one of those strong thunderstorms maybe coming, “I..HATE storms”
Kader is inside and crawls over to the door, he knows his mate is collecting herbs and that’s a good thing, he groans weakly.
Kate is indeed outside, upon seeing the hut on fire she drops her basket of wild mushrooms and mint and rushes over towards the hut as the rain starts to pour.
Zork breaks down the door with his shoulder and looks around, he coughs from all the smoke and sees Kadar and quickly grabs him and goes to head outside as the rain indeed starts to lessen the fire but makes the smoke more thick as he coughs and drops to his knees onto the wooded clearing.
Silverstorm goes to help Zork get a little further away and looks concerned for him.
Kate appears and helps as well “Zork..oh dear me” She looks at Kadar and they get to where the forge is “It’s a good thing we have a room here, just in case and with a small supply of herbs, just enough though” She looks back at their hut, the fire is out and the rain should take care of the rest but it’s a total loss as a tear goes down her face.
Kadar groans and is soon laid down on a simple bed.
Zork coughs roughly and nods his thanks as he sits down and coughs a little more.
Silverstorm “You ok there Zork? ..umm I can’t take over yet, so if ya die I will be peeved”
Kate gets together some herbs, some for burns and places them on burn areas Kadar has on his tail and tends to any wounds.
Kadar opens his eyes and sees Kate “Love..ya alright.” He shivers some and coughs, he was in the hut longer and may of breathed in more smoke than Zork most likely.
Zork looks at the sea otter “Lass..takes more than-cough- that ta kill me. I be fine” He looks at Kadar and Kate “I know some on de battle wounds, I can helps ya some and we can get him ta Leon as well”
Kate nods and lets Zork help.
Kadar worse wound is arm, there is a gash there that will need sewed.He has a cut on his forehead and a broken leg.
Zork helps do some sewing, not the best as he was never good at it but it will hold till they get to the abbey and applies an herb he knows helps infections and a tight bandage.
Silverstorm keeps an eye on things, “So..what now?”
Zork doesn’t answer as he has fallen asleep after tending to Kadar and the fact he is worn out, sleep will be good, so he will have to explain missing tea in the morning, all well he has a good excuse…right?”
The next day, so Wednesday after they get Kadar to the infirm and have both him and Zork even…yep Zork, check out and now its just about dinner time
Zork knocks on the infirm doorway, he had went to his room to mediate some and rest and now wants to check on his friend, "Leon..ya in here?"
Leon sighs and appears, a splint on his left wrist "Yes, about to head home why?" He already has the tea for Zork and hands it to him with his good paw.
Silverstorm walks inside and looks around "Never liked infirms..how is that beaver fellow?"
Zork drinks the tea "Kadar, he was hurt and his hut be ashes now or just about ashes"
Leon frowns "I heard some but I was not in here much after lunch sorry so your have to ask Dorarose's grandmother how he is, how are you someone said you were here as well?"
Zork answers "I am fine, trust me Leon" He walks over to check on Kadar knowing he is being tended to very well “I should go, promised Zinnia I help her in de library to put away books before dinner, so,night all a little early" He doesn’t give a chance to reply as he is already out the door.
