Leon's Back..Wait!? Where Are The Others?!(Redwall Ambassador Log!)

FV:Path to Ferravale

This path heads along a wooded path to the west and if one heads east they see the dirt road. Trees and bushes line the road here and slightly off the path is some berry bushes.

Exits: [D]irt [R]oad, [W]est

Thunderwing is flying, being careful of the mouse in his talons, he will stop and carefully land if he so much as feels slight movement, he looks for a place now to carefully land with his mouse friend. He just wanted to get away from those crazy miniature weasels wearing weeds and grass of all things.

Leon groans and blinks opening his eyes and that ends up a bad mistake as he gasps. Yes nothing like waking up in the air and in the talons of an eagle. He knows enough not to move but a small whimper comes out.

Thunderwing hears the gasp and speaks "Mouseie wait and Thunderwing land soontime." He circles and finds a pile of soft snow and drops the mouse maybe a foot above the snow and then goes to land on the path in front of him.

Leon tenses a little as he is dropped even if it’s only a foot into the pile of snow. He gets a little unsteadily onto his feet and holds the side of his head as a headache comes on. “I...hate headaches..." He mutters and slowly sits down.

Thunderwing tilts his head as he studies the mouse “Why friend be by strange plant wearing beasties?"

Leon blinks a few times the knock out stuff still affecting him some.."I..don't know...." And that’s when he stops to throw up, another annoying side effect of those herbs as well, he frowns as he looks around "Where...where are the others? How far from...from those beasts are we?"

Thunderwing stays close as he puffs up, "Thunderwing take friend away from strange plant beasts....takeum to here and lands.Thinkie other friendbeasts captive"

Leon frowns "What?...No..not good, those plant beasts as you call them are the Flitchaye, not wise to run into them..I..I meet them once before, may be same ones I don't know."

Thunderwing watches the mouse and stays close, "Flitchaye be good eats for Thunderwing?"

Leon frowns, "I...look we got to help the others...they have them" He sighs and sits down as he had walked some. He looks around, "Where are we?"

Thunderwing tilts his head and goes to help Leon onto his back, "We be close Ferravale city ya." He will walk slowly, yes eagles can walk they just don’t every often, “Mouse friend needum rest now see?"

Leon nods, he holds onto the bird with his paw and tail and stays as relaxed as one can when with a large eagle." But I need to find..find my friends and my mate"

Appearing down the road is a strange sight. A pine marten swinging a cane in one paw while whistling a merry tune can be seen. He is dressed in a leather vest over a red tunic. Liam is almost un recognizable after he slimmed down. It took hard work, getting up early and running off the excess weight each morning for several months. But it was worth the effort.

He was still quite possibly the fattest potbellied marten in the city, but he was still half the marten he was just last season.

The pine marten leans against a tree, taking in the sight of the river running by the road and never once seeing the mouse nor his feathery companion.

Thunderwing nods "Find em will...yesum." He sees the pine marten though and makes a sort of hissy noise, he is not sure if they are friend or foe.

Leon has been away since the beginning of fall and this is nearing the end of winter as he frowns at the hiss" What is it?" He is starting to feel a little better now, more awake and that only brings more worry as well.

The marten twitches an ear to the hissing behind him. Slowly he turns, head first the rest of his body follows. He stares up at the sight of the impressive eagle before him and twitches an eye. It's just like that time the hawk picked him and carried him off! Almost at least...

"Oh..." He says simply. Liam's eyes roll up in his head and he collapses onto his back in deep faint.

Liam always had a way with words...

Thunderwing gets closer and clacks a beck at the marten, he doesn't try to eat him at least, least yet anyways. His breath smells of fish and...possible weasel maybe? Did he eat one thin weasels? Maybe....maybe not.

Leon carefully slides off the eagles back and steady himself as he looks at Liam carefully and studies him, "Back off Thunderwing..." He goes to examine him, check the pulse and breathing of the marten, "Liam?"

The pudgy portly pine marten slowly comes too. Rubbing his head he sits up with an arm behind him to support himself, "OooOOoOh. Leon? Is that...is that you? I...what happened? I had the most peculiar dream. I was out walking along the road and then I saw this great big bird of-" He looks up at the eagle, eyes wide, ears flat. A terrified gasp escapes his lips, "Leeeeeeeoooooooooooon..." He says, tapping the mouse on the shoulder repeatedly, "Leon, Leon LEEEeeEEoooOOOOn!"

Thunderwing puffs out and makes a loud screech noise and looks ready to peck Liam, "Loud Beast..SHUT UPPPPP!!!!!!"

Leon starts to answer and then frowns as it’s hard to drown out noise with the sides of your arm and one paw, he manages some and his headache back "Calm...down..both of you, yes it’s me"

The marten shuts up only to cower behind the mouse. Admittedly the mouse makes a rather poor hiding place for a creature his size. Peering over the mouse’s head with a terrified glance, "Leon. Why are you here, and why are you about to feed me to an eagle! I thought we were friends! Friends don't feed each other to eagles!

Thunderwing still looks ticked but he does back off. But he is still all puffed out still looking larger than he already is. He snorts best a bird can "Thundering need fish...gonna get em' plentysoon"

Leon frowns "Got a note to return early and we did. And the eagle is a friend he won't eat you." He sighs and coughs a little “But Dorarose,Zinnia and Stonepaw are captives and possibly Xander too...I..I don’t know on Xander he may have gotten away as he was climbing a tree. The Flitchaye are not great tree climbers...then again not sure on badgers either yet he climbed fairly well. But I don’t know what happen after I passed out, just woke to Thunderwing bringing me here"

The marten cautiously stands up. "Are you sure?" He says in reference to the bird. "Yes...fish. Go eat fish. Lots of fish. The more fish the better!" And the less room he will have for meaty marten meats. "Wait, what happened to Dorarose and Zinnia?" The names were familiar, after all much of the pine marten's girth was from the many feasts he attended in Redwall. If nothing else he knew them in passing.

Thunderwing backs up to pern a wing and stays fairly close. He does not go to get fish yet, he might soon but he is still unsure of Liam.

Leon answers, "The Flitchaye have them along the river somewhere or in the woods. I might be the only one that can help them, that is if they have the same leader they did some seasons ago or maybe his son."Leon looks to Thunderwing "Go find out where they are or if Xander got away or not"

Thunderwing tilts his head, he doesn’t look pleased to leave the mouse with Liam but he nods and flaps his wings to take flight, but first he will find fishies, then friends or foe, or both.

"This sounds like something the chief would be interested in. Or Bandit. Yeah, we should tell them." The marten watches the bird fly away. He is trying to push the mouse along, trying to get him to hurry. Liam has the sudden desire to be indoors and away from the country side...

Leon frowns as he is pushed some, "Wait we can't just walk off and find one of them, hard to say where they are, we need to pay attention to this issue now!" He is still feeling rather ill from the strong herbs the Flitchaye had, but he still knows he needs to find that camp and soon, before it’s too late to matter whether it’s found or not.

Time passes=

Leon finally got away from Liam and found Thunderwing and flew to the abbey, he was still afraid of being so high up but he also knew a birds eye view is best but first a very quick trip to the abbey as he hopes maybe Xander found his way there. He was only at the abbey less than half an hour and found a safe Xander with Zee, made Zee promise to keep an eye on Xander and not tell anyone Leon was there and once more headed off on Thunderwing...birds eye viw again as he starts getting more use to air travel.

Thunderwing soars carefully through the air as he studies the ground and looks back and forth.

Leon sighs "Find anything yet friend?" He is starting to worry.

Its then movement, a camp fire or two and yes small weasels are clearly seen off and on in the camouflaged area. And 3 separate areas with guards.

Thunderwing caws softly"Thunderwing think he found something friend Leon" He gets closer,but only just a little.

Leon looks and gasps softly" Its them...the Flitchaye. Land somewhere away from amp...carefully"

Thunderwing obeys and lands softly and tilts his head at the mouse.

Leon sighs and pulls out the stone and looks at it an palces it back in his pocket before pulling his hood up and over his face, "If I am not back in an hour, then come in to look for me, I will blow the whistle long for help and short blows for I am ok"

Thunderwing nods and will stay put, weather he really wants to or not.

Leon nods and takes a deep breath and proceeds with his plan. Wise or Unwise remains to be seen......
