Allicloud grinned and let himself be dragged to the kitchen by the eager ferret. He greeted Trev, the assistant cook. He and the mouse knew eachother rather well, since when he first came to the Abbey he was put under Trev's care. "Mornin' Allicloud. You and your little friend can help yerselves to whatever you want. I already got word from the Abbess that you're going out for an errand."
"Cheers, Trevvy." Allicloud called back as he grabbed a sack of scones and a large pie. He also grabbed a few canteens of drinks and some crystallised fruits. He knew that Ringe would like them. Heck, he loved them!
Moments later, he and Ringe left the kitchen. each carrying a canteen of their preferred drink. He carried a bag full of food and other drinks, as well as a picnic blanket, and Ringe carried the empty herb-bag, which would hopefully be full by the end of the trip. Sweeping Ringe up on his shoulders, Allicloud called up to her "Right oh, you ready to go Ringe, me liddle friend?"

Ringe took a sip of her strawberry fizz and gave a smile.
"Yessir! Ready to go sir!"

Allicloud held tight to Ringe's footpaws as he sauntered to the gates. Waving to the guard, they waved back and the doors swung open. Striding out, Allicloud took a deep breath of the open air, and swaggered towards the woods.
A few minutes into the woods, Allicloud had some luck finding the required herbs. He even taught Ringe how to recognise a few. As it turned out, she was a quick learner. He really began to grow fond of her; she was like the little sister he never had...Or did he have one? He could remember almost none of his childhood, so he may have a sister, who knows?
"Say, Ringe. Ye remember when I asked ye about yer mum and dad? Well, if'n you don't mind me asking, could you tell me about when ye came to the Abbey? Did you come with someone?"

Wendyl watched them go. She sighed, and felt a little envious. She wished she was free of this chain. She loved the Abbey, but it was something that bound her home, something that kept her away from the life that she had known before, the life of a wandering healer. She wanted to go back to her friends. Asodyn, Ryndle, and Chepsonek. But no, she had responsibilities. The Abbey needed her. She grinned, and ran down the wallsteps, laughing to herself. This was her home now, nothing could change that. She cuffed a stray seagull that was wheeling crazedly around. Brushing some dirt off her digging claws. "Friar! Friar! We need a Nameday feast!" She burst into the kitchen. "Friar! Friar! Friar!!!!" She ran straight into Roverindon. "Woaw! Slow down Abbess, you'll hurt yourself!" Then, he giggled at Wendyl's happy expression. "Rover! Find Kylar, would you? I need to see her." Roverindon nodded, and ran outside. A moment later, the magnificent Sharp-shinned hawk Kylar the Hunter stalked into the kitchens, turning her head slightly when she smelled a mushroom pastie. She dipped her head to Wendyl. "Ye wanted me, Abbess? Anythin' I can do?" Wendyl smiled at her. "Yes, Kylar. I need you to find Anitar Maskheart for me." "On my way, Abbess." Wendyl scratched Kylar's head. "Thank you, Kylar. He enjoys being disguised as a wildcat." Kylar dipped her head again, and flew away.

Laura watched the antics with amusement, now that she was properly washed she felt much lighter and certainly better. Her Gold and Cream fur gleamed, her tail was shiny smooth and fluffed. She had even affixed one of the small pieces of jewlery Father had made for her. The silver and gold ear clasp held in place without actually piercing the ear, it was in the shape of a bird of prey mid dive. The birds eyes were Rubies of high quality.

Ringe's smile fell as she thought about it hard. She sat down on the ground, sniffing Rosemary and trying to remember.
"Well, I was rweally woung when that hawpened. But I sometwimes remember some. I was with my parents, walking towards the abbey, when I think we were attacked, or something spooked them.They ran off for the abbey, and they layed my on the doorstep, pounding frantically. I was told that when someone opened the door, my parents were gone, even though they spotted them from the wall. The only question is if they were attacked, then why would I still be here? What protected me?" Ringe said, speaking like an adult.

Allicloud wiped a tear from his eye as he listened to the ferret's story. He sat down beside her, getting out the food. Munching on a nutfarl, he passed a loaf of flowerbread to Ringe.
"Hmmf......Good question...mmm...Well, there's always been odd things going on at Redwall. They say their founder, Martin the Warrior, they says that he watches over them and protects them. I mean, I did some research on their history, and as far as I know, only twice have evil beasts actually gotten into the Abbey, and only once did they get back out alive. So, maybe it was that Martin character who protected ye."
Allicloud took off his traveller's cloak and gently lay it around Ringe's shoulders. Putting his arm around her shoulders, he was surprised at how seriously such a young beast could speak, almost like a full-grown beast.
"Ringe, I just want ye to know, anytime ye want, ye can come to yer pal Allicloud. Just think of me as a big brother."

Ringe gave a smile up to Allicloud, and hugged him.
"Thank you Mr. Allicloud!" She said, running off to grab more herbs. Suddenly, she bumped into something, and looked up to see a stoat staring down at her. She let off a scream, and the stoat covered his ears, looking around frantically.
"Shhhh!!! I'm not gonna hurt you! Shhhh!!!!" He said, wishing he could run, but as fate had it, he was sorta stuck. He glanced down at his foot inder the root, and winced. Still trying to calm the little ferret down, he just managed to get his foot stuck more.
"SHHHH!" He said again, trying to quiet the ferret-babe down. He looked around frantically and pulled out a little dagger, just managing to make Ringe scream louder.

Kylar was flying through Mossflower when she heard the ferretmaid's screams. She swooped down to help, but a strange wildcat got there first. He scooped Ringe out of the way and bent down to inspect the root trapping the stoat's paw. "You are well and truly stuck, aren't you?" He pulled the large battleaxe from his back. "Alright, do you want me to cut off your paw, or the tree root? I suppose you need your paw, so hold still." He raised the axe and made as if to swing it down and cut root and paw. Kylar gasped. Then, the wildcat brought it down gently and used it to lever the root up slightly. "Now pull your paw out, gently, don't yank. I think you'll survive."

Allicloud silently hurried to the scene, scimitar drawn. Ignoring the wildcat and the stoat, he instantly rushed to Ringe's side. Kneeling down beside her, he could see that she was still shocked from the speed of whatever happened. He ripped a strip from the hem of his bag and wiped her tearstains from her face and cheeks, and held her tightly to him. "Thank goodness, yer alright! Nothing broken, cut?" he held her at paws-length. He didn't have the heart to scold anybody, especially a child, since he himself was still not quite a full-grown ferret. He was just glad she was alright, his unofficial little sister. "So, what happened? What made you scream?"

Silex slowly removed his paw, wincing as it was removed.
"Thanks for the help." He said shyly, trying not to rest on his injured paw.
The he saw Ringe be studied by the older ferret, and watched as he asked her what happened. Ringe looked up at Allicloud , and gave a small smile.
"The stoat just suprised me... I bumped into him and it kinda scared me." Ringe said, blushing.

The wildcat pulled his axe out from under the root and put it back onto his back. "It was nothing. Sit down a sec, please." He looked at the two ferrets. "You wouldn't happen to have any coltsfoot would you? I am afraid that I am out." He grinned and knelt down to the stoat's footpaw. "And why am I out? Because Skip pushed me in the water. It took two hours to dry my tail and ears. Blast that brother of mine." Kylar heard this comment, and landed on the wildcat's back. "Anitar?" The wildcat fell flat with her weight. "Kylar! Get off! Your are too heavy!" Kylar grabbed Anitar's tail with her talon and yanked. "Ha! Thought so. Two hours to dry a fake tail!!!!"

Allicloud watched the strange goings on, a paw round Ringe's shoulders.
"....OH, er, coltsfoot? Yes, I think I got some. As it happens, me and Ringe 'ere are out looking for herbs." He hurried back to where he had dropped the basket when he had hurried to Ringe's aid, and gathered up the spilled plants. Picking out a bundle of coltsfoot, he handed it to the wildcat.
"If'n I may, what is a wildcat doin' in this neck of the woods? I ain't seen your kind round here alot, and I know what beasts come through here more than most."

Kylar lifted off the wildcat, taking most of his disguise off, revealing an otter without a tail. Anitar took the Coltsfoot and began to bind it onto the stoat's foot with some twine. "Otter, matey. By the name of Anitar Maskheart." He straightened up and boffed Kylar about the head. Kylar dodged his second boff and landed in a nearby tree. "Abbes Wendyl wants you, Anitar." Anitar began rearranging himself until he was a wildcat again. "Oh, really? Hmmmmmm, just a sec." He bounded off into the woods, soon returning with a bag. He opened it and began sorting through it. Taking off his wildcat guise, he fixed himself up to look like a young badger. "Lead on, o red mattress." He held out a paw to Ringe. "Come along then, all of you. I believe that this young ferretmaid is a spy from our archenemy ScarFace?"
