User:Frentiza the ferret

One night...
On the eastern fringes of Mossflower Woods, four vermin sat on guard around a clearing. The fires had just been doused, and the chief was fast asleep in his tent. An otter and two squirrels sat tied with their backs to an oak tree. The three runaways from Redwall Abbey had just realized their mistake when two sturdy weasels had ambushed them and taken them to their camp. Their leader, a fierce, hulking ferret, had demanded information on the precious Abbey, and when the trio refused to admit it had been ordered they be lashed to a tree, and commanded his guards to give them twenty whiplashes apiece.

Now they sat slouched over, wounded and starved. None of them knew what would become of them come dawn, but they all knew that it would be nothing good.

The sable otter nudged his companion. "Look, matey, there'm be one of them scum, a-comin' over," he warned.

His squirrel comrade nodded. He flexed his back legs. "I may not be as hard at kickin' as them hares, but I got some spring in these!" he snickered. "Let that mangefur come!"

The smallest, a little squirrelmaid, was still fast asleep. The otter and the other squirrel decided not to wake her up since she had taken enough. The two older beasts waited for the vermin's approach with bated breath.

A small female ferret, the daughter of the vermin leader, was approaching the tied up captives. She held a dagger in her paw, which she had stolen form a sleeping rat guard. Her goal was to cut the slaves loose and urge them to flee back to their Abbey and warn their comrades. Her father was plotting to move inland to take on the great Abbey.

The sharp-eyed older male squirrel spotted her first. "What do ye want from us, scum?" he demanded.

The ferret held up her paw to show that she meant no harm. "I'm bustin' ye and yer comrades loose," she told them.

The sable otter whispered, "Don't listen to 'er, 'tis a trick."

The female ferret ignored this and sliced through the bonds. She whispered to the otter, "Run, mate, afore the chief awakens.  Beat it ta yon Abbey o' yours, tell whoever commands the place that thee are in serious danger.  'E's plannin' on movin' inland and takin' over yer peace!"

The trio were astounded by the ferret's kindness. The male squirrel piped up. "A-Are you sure you want us to--"

The ferret smiled. "Don't waste the chance I gave ye. Trust me, ye'll never get another like it." she said.

""Oy, where'd dat rogue Fren get ta?" came a shout from across the camp.

Fren the young ferret panicked, but did not show it. "GO!" she ordered.

The male squirrel picked up his sister and nudged the otter to his paws. They quickly thanked the ferret, and dashed off into the fastness of Mossflower Woods.

Fren turned and could see that two vermin, a fox and a stoat, were coming toward her. They could see that the prisoners were free. The fox pointed his saber at her. "'Tis the luvverly brat o' the chief, eh?" he snarled. "Where'd dem pris'ners get ta?"

Fren took two paces back. "I arven't seen 'em," she lied. "I just know they 'scaped."

She slowly began to unwind the loaded sling from her waist. The stoat advanced on her. "Now, don't lie, me pretty. The chief'd love ta hear 'bout his turncoat whelp, ho aye, and he'll--"

Thwack!

Fren whipped off a slingstone, and the stoat crumpled senseless. The fox charged at her raising his saber, but quick as lightning she loosed off another stone. The guard stared at her, dazed, then his eyes rolled up to the whites and he buckled over. A hulking ferret captain had seen this. He pointed to her. "Traitor! Young Fren is a traitor!" he shouted. "Get'er!"

Fren quickly rewound the sling about her waist. Then she sped headlong into the darkness of Mossflower, leaving her father's vermin camp behind.

The quest of Frentiza had begun.
