"MARTIN'S SWORD!! Er, sorry. Thank you, ma'am!" Bryany cried gleefully, but then remembered his manners. He sighed. "I suppose you want an explanation? I may repeat some information you've heard,. but bear with me. Now, those two otters were slave traders, only I Cien was Blood Siren then. Well, I was foolish enough to be caught by them. Long story short there, I was traded, escaped, was captured by vermin. Cycle would repeat every few seasons. Now, Bryony wasn't caught, and I didn't know what had happened to her. I'd sworn to kill Cien, because he was cruel then. I don't know if he is now, but he was to all the young creatures he made row and traded. And that sea otter was with him then, and they apparently had something going, f you know what I mean. And you won't be seeing Bryony for awhile, by the way. Riftgard, where we were born, had a few squirrel tribes  roaming about. One of the laws was, 'If some beast kills another, the family of the killed one has rights to revenge the killed one's killer.' And usually, the killed one's family, -in my case, Bryony- will send someone to hunt the other beast down. And they won't returbn until the killer is dead. So, unless Bryony hears that I'm alive, she won't stop until she kills Scarlet. And likely Cien too, if she believes Cien helped Scarlet. It's complicated."

------------------------

Bryony immediately grabbed the collar of the shrew who had spoken. "Where? I need to find those otters, and so help me, I'm NOT going to be held up by a stupid shrew! Now, WHICH WAY DID THEY GO!?!?!"

''U-UP THE RI-RIVER WHERE T-THE FOX IS G-GOIN MARM!''

Fern gasped. Now she was really worried by Bryant's story. Worried about Bryony, and Cien, who had usually been a pretty nice guy, when he wasn't angry, that is. And now she didn't know what to even think about the otter. Was he totally evil?

Just then Mycroft entered the infirmary. "What on earth is bally well goin' on?"

"Cien's run off with an ottermaid he knows, who just showed up, she and him were both slave traders, the new squirrel Bryant's been injured again, Bryony's gone off to kill the ottermaid, and possibly Cien, and Skipper and some otters have gone off too, and... and... I don't know what to do!"

Mycroft nodded sympathetically. "You jolly well don't have to do anything, Fern. You're the Abbess, and have your Abbey to look after. I'm certain Skipper and his crew will find them, wot!"

Fern smiled, then looked up, noticing a shrew in a cot across the room. She'd never seen him before. "Uh, hello. I don't think I've met you."

OOC: Fern doesn't know Marshall and Tripper were was there too. Oh, and anybody can PP Mycroft if they want, 'cause after all he's not one of my official characters.

OOC: Oops. I'll go and edit my post then.

Sister Lupine sat down on the end of Bryant's bed, "I just don't know what to think anymore." She buried her head in her paws.
-----------------------
"Well sorry for being too short!" Scarlet snapped.
"Your forgiven." Cien laughed as if climbed onto the shore.
"Cien?" Scarlet's voice had changed completely, "Do you remember when you raised that revolution on Riftgard?"
Cien was suddenly alert, "Yes,"
"Well, I was wondering if you'd tell me about it sometime? You know."
Cien knew exactly what she meant, she wanted to know about what he had stolen that day. Curse those plans. Why didn't I just burn them?

[Gonff the Mousethief]

''Well aye there, im Tripper of the Gousim.
Marshall came to Log-A-Log with a medallion.
I was a former member of the ship when Cien's parents made it a merchant ship.
When they died I got off and sailed for many seasons until Cein and his crew came and wrecked our ship.
I've been in the Gousim ever since!

"Oh, I forgot something. Martin told me to hang on to his sword and sort of stand in for Cien, until he came back. Er, if you don't mind, though?" Bryant said, looking rather sheepish. He didn't really know what to do.  he very carefully made his way down to the bottom of the bed, his nature not allowing him not to. "I'm sure it'll be alright. Don't you worry, ma'am."

----------------------------

Bryony released the shrew at once and pounded her way down the river bank. She screeched, "I'LL HAVE YOU YET, YOU MURDERER!!" It was an eerie sound, made more so when she started half laughing, half sobbing.

[rachel25]

"Did you hear that?" Cein turned, alert.
"Time to be moving again." Scarlet announced, and took one of the packs Cien had been carrying, and set off.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony's paws were pounding the river bank, hard and fast. She saw something up ahead that looked as it it might MIGHT, have been used as a camp. She stopped and looked. Sure enough, damp paw prints oin a rock. She stood up and started running again.

[rachel25]

Cien, and Scarlet ran through the woods. Desperate not to be captured. "Where are we going!" Cien shouted.
"Away from here!" Scarlet replied.

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Marshall had gone back to the shrews and helped them up and started to follow Bryony.
''Come on! I can see her!''

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony started running even faster, she could see a indistinct shape of ahead. She hoped it was that ottermaid.

[rachel25]

As they were running, Cien's foot caught in a root, and he went tumbling down a hill. Scarlet then slipped on some wet moss, and came rolling down behind him.

[Cornflower MM]

The shapes that were rapidly turning into otters fell down. Bryony put on a burst of speed, and caught up to hem. "Now, miss. I'll make this quick and painless, or slow and painful. I'm sure you understand the fact I have to kill you, since you killed Bryant. Which is it to be?"
