A Never-Ending Adventure

[Veilette]

OOC: Well, the title tells it all! This is a roleplay that will go on and on forever! An adventure that will never end! Suprises at every corner! I'll be Evy.

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

Evy walked along the path, dragging her feet behind dozily. She had just woken up and traveling was tiring her. It was feeling hard to move her legs. She collapsed in the middle of the sandy path, her tongue lolling out and sun beating down on her back. She gasped out three words to an ant that was passing by.
"Must.. have.. water!"
It scurried into a hole in the ground and left Evy laying there. Thirsty. She looked around until she happened to spot a stick laying beside her. She used it to lift herself back up. Nice walking stick, too, she thought to herself, I'll use it to make the journey less hard.
The journey actually was a little less hard, but it was still painful walking on bare feet on hard, pointy pebbles. Evy started slowing down, and getting even more thirsty. She stumbled and fell over again. Getting on her knees, she yelled out in agrivation. Her scream was so loud that it scared the birds and caused them to fly away from their perches.
"Yarugh!!! I hate this place!"
She fell over on her side, panting and gasping for breath like crazy. She had been to hot places before, but none as hot as this! It was horrible! The trees were even dead from the heat. And there was barely any grass on the ground. It was like a desert.
Evy pulled herself up with her walking stick, her knees wobbeling uncontrolably. Wiping beads of sweat off her forehead with the back of her paw, she looked around hopefully. She could see that there was a tree just a little while away. It had a good amount of leaves on it. For shade, she thought.

She suprisingly made it to the tree. But of course collapsing a good amount of times before she got there. Grabbing weeds of grass, on her stomach, Evy pulled herself under the tree. And rested on the trunk, thanking her lucky stars to have made it.

[Silver]

OOC: Ooo! Fun fun!

Silver had been traveling for two days or so, and was growing tired. She layed down on the ground under a tree and shut her eyes, a spiffen breeze sweeping by. She started reRedwallering Redwall, and began to wonder why she left. She had foolishy gone and ate all of her food, and now was missing the food at Redwall. Her stomach began to grumble. Putting her paws on it, she spoke, almost talking to it.
"Oh, shut up, stomach! It's your fault that we're in this mess! If you hadn't growled yesterday I wouldn't have eaten all of our supplies!" Forgetting that she was talking to her stomach, she carried on, which she normally would have stopped by now, knowing it was a little desperate. But who else was there to talk to her?
"You are making me very angry!" She scowled down at her stomach, "making me eat all of the time! What kind of a tummy are you, eh?" Before she started to speak again, she realized that there was a blueberry bush near by.
"Food!" She yelled out, scurrying over to it, "what luck!"

Silver licked her fingers happily, speaking to her stomach again.
"See that, tummy? I ate ever blueberry off the bush! You better not growl for another ten min--" She was immedietly silenced. And did not talk again for quite a while.. a dark figure had conked her out senseless.

[Veilette]

OOC: Yay, nice long post. Gotta love them.

Evy had dozed off for quite some time, but was wakened by an annoying buzzing around her ear. She swatted at it and hit something. She opened her eyes and looked over. It was a little bee. She slowly backed away, her eyes wide.
"Oh, heh, sorry little bee! I didn't mean to-- AH!" Evy shook her hand in pain, yelling at the bee as it flew off, "Oh you stupid thing! Stinging my hand? How dare you?" She stuck out her bottom lip and scowled. "I've always hated those little things anyways.."
Evy sat nursing her hand for a good amount of time, tearing off some of the hem of her shirt to wrap her paw in, since she could be a baby about things sometimes, and overreact about a simple bee sting.
She stood up and stretched, breathing in happily. Reaching to her side she picked up her stick, she smiled.
"The only time to enjoy a hot place, is at night!" And she was right. It had gotten quite c o o l now that it was a little dark out.

Evy was halfway through the desert, when she spotted a shadow looming around about two miles ahead. It seemed to be dragging a creature behind it. Evy had good eyesight, so she could tell right off what was going on. A large rat draped in a black cloak was dragging a mousemaid behind. Evy crept behind a rock and investigated. Murmuring to herself she started drawing out a plan in some nearby sand.
"Rotten rat, knocking out a little mouse like that. How about he fights some one his own size. The coward."
She peeked over the rock again. The rat was now had the mousemaid tossed across his shoulder. Evy made some more quick calculations.
"She must just be konked out. I doubt she's dead. The only reason he'd kill her would be if he was a flesh eater. I can tell by his shape that he's not.. he must plan on getting information from her..."

[Silver]

When Silver woke up she expected to be sitting under a tree by the Abbey Pond.. well, she did wake up under a tree. Only tied to it. She was also gagged with an old rag. She tried to yell out for help, but only mumbles came out. The large rat that had captured her was extremely evil, Silver could tell. His yellow eyes shown from inside his cloak. You could see no features on his dark, terrible, face. All you could see was a dark picture with mean eyes.
Silver began to shake with fear. She wished more than anything that she didn't leave Redwall Abbey, she wished more than anything that she was snug in bed, she wished more than anything that some one would save her..
She felt the gag slip from her mouth, and the rat was right up in her face. His breath was more foul than anything she had ever smelt. To describe his voice she would say it sounded like a slimey string, with an awkward choke.
"Which way is Redwall?"
Silver could only shake more an more, her eyes wide with terror. She had never faced anything like this before. All she knew was her Abbey. The rat spoke again, this time threatenly.
"Where is the Abbey, little maid?"
Silver was about to scream for help, but she could here the scrape of his dagger coming from its sheath. She knew that this was her life. She gulped and tried to avoid eye contact with him.
"I-I do not know."
Silver was surprised when he cuffed her in the face.
"Don't talk lies, little insect!"
She started to tear up, but tried to keep her strength.
"I-I-I'm not lieing.I s-s-swear."
The rat's voice come out like a dagger, grabbing at her heart.
"Tell the truth, or you'll die lieing!"
Silver pointed in the wrong direction, "o-o-over that way."
The rat raised his voice, and his dagger, "You're playing with your life, little insect!"
............

[Veilette]

Evy had been wandering around for quite some time. She had collapsed a ways back and forgot which way the rat and mousemaid had gone. It was about two miles later when she found pawprints.
"Ah ha!" She said, smiling to herself. "This rat isn't going to get away from me that easily."

Evy was extra quiet when the pawprints were fresh, because that meant they were near. That's when she heard two voices. She dodged behind a tree, trying to look spiffen, but slipped and fell. Popping her head up Evy realized she made a perfect landing behind a bush with her fall.
"Um.. I meant to do that." She said, grinning to herself. When she looked back over the bush she could see the two creatures. A young mousemaid was tied to a tree, with the rat looming over her with his dagger raised. Evy knew write off it wasn't time for playing anymore, this rat meant to kill the little maid. Acting swiftly she grabbed her trusty stick, and ran like mad at the rat.
Thud! Crack!
Evy hit the rat's head twice, and that was all it took. He fell over in a pile of black cloak. She stretched her claws out and smiled at the rat, completely knocked out on the
ground.
"Nasty creature, you are." Evy said, circleing him with her stick propped over and across her shoulder. "Think of that! Tieing a poor little maid to a tree, eh?" She kicked the body as hard as she could, but the rat just layed there. "Why, did I really konk you out that hard, you nasty rat? Huh!"
Realizing that she was getting carried away, she stepped away from the stunned rat and wandered over to the mousemaid tied to the tree.

[Silver]

Silver was in a mixed mood. She was glad to be away from the rat, but at the same time she was a little frightened to see Evy. After all, Evy was a ferret. And little did Silver know a good one. She figured that she was just going to steal her from the rat, just like the rat did from under the tree.
Silver watched as Evy (OOC: Mind if I reinact it, so that I can tell what she did during your post?) circle the rat that was laying in a ball on the ground. She had never seen a beast attack another beast like that in all of her life. She stood there tied to the tree, watching Evy make crude remarks at the stunned beast. She couldn't tell if the ferret was saving or stealing her! Well, she wouldn't be stolen ever again, she reasoned with herself, now was the time to escape! She started wriggeling around in her position, trying to unbind the rope from her paws. She took a breather for a moment and then went back at it again. While the ferret was laying insults upon the fallen rat, Silver thought, this would be the perfect oppertunity to escape. She'd wrather make a run for it than to sit and find out whether or not Evy was a goodbeast.
Yes! She did it! The ropes came undone! She began to run off when the ferret grabbed her rist..

[Veilette]

OOC: I don't mind at all. ^-^

Evy could see that the mousemaid was trying to escape, quickly she ran towards Silver, and with her being so tall she caught up in time. Grabbing the mousemaid's wrist, Evy dragged her back to the tree, with her trying to pull away the whole time. She began to grind her teeth or irritation.
"Little mouseymaid, be reasonable. I'm you're saviour, you should be thanking mebefore you go runnin' off like that. Right?"
The only reply was Silver grunted, as she tried to escape from her clutch.
"Not gonna work, little one, not gonna work."
When they came up to a rock Evy made the mousemaid sit down on it.
"Now now, why were you running away like that? I'm not gonna eatcha!"

[Silver]

Silver was feeling small and frightened as the ferret dragged her along. It was impossible to escape, Silver knew, Evy had quite a grip!
She was surprised when the ferret sat her down, instead on tieing her down. She also took advantage of when Evy's paws were no longer on her. She made a mad dash! Running through the woods she could feel her heart beating. She couldn't trust a ferret! She was raised in the Abbey to not talk to vermin. And well, even if Evy didn't seem like one, she still looked like one!
Taking a backward glance Silver could see Evy wasn't bothering to follow her, she was sitting on the rock watching her, shaking her head laughing.
Silver was just glad to be rid of that rat!

[topaz]

Zerda heard someone laughing and he went to investigate. It was still early for him to be out. The fenec mostly came out at night. Fewer beasts about to harm him. The fennec was sneaking towards Silver but his odd colorations stood out in the greens of Mossflower. He was coming up on the opisite wat she ran from.

He had very large ears on a very diminutive head and a sharp, tiny muzzle give this little him a very distinctive look. The fennec has a very bushy tail and thick, luxurious fur. Carnassial teeth are small. HIs fur is sandy yellow with white "edges" and some black ticking, The tail is lightly black tipped and the whiskers are quite long and black. The eyes are very dark and little rhinal pad is black. He wears part of a sail as his clothing and on his right wrist is what's left of the chain that held to an oar for all those seasons.

He stopped and peaked form around a tree at mousmaids side. For a fox he was small. I mean small. Shorter than any fox in the area.

[Veilette]

OOC: Yay! Some one has joined us!

Evy couldn't believe the little mousemaid ran off like that. She stuck out her bottom lip and scowled, pretending to be hurt.
"What did she think I was going to do t'her? Slit her throat? With what, may I ask?" She looked down at her stick that she had beginning to become attatched to.
"Aah, she must've been taken aback by my trusty stick! Ain't that right, Sticky?"
Evy was still a little upset though, she hoped that the mousemaid could've been a traveling companion. Besides, it was only once in a lifetime that she met another creature.
She sat down exaustedly, sighing. "Oh well, I can track her down when I wake up from my nap." She yawned and stretched out, starting to nod off. "It sure is nice being in this spiffen forest.."

[Sunflash The Axe]

the evil rat who had been nhit with Evy's stick had a harder skull then most could imagine, he sat up slowly with a grunt, he had the worst hedache he hadever had, he looked in the desert type sand to see the distinctive ferret and mouse footprints, he new he'd gte them someday, afterall, he didn't have any enemys, because he killed them all! He got up on hi legs and looked around to make sure no one had seen him being defeated by a small female ferret, the he ran of (as fast as he could with a heart head) to a place that his band stayed when he went on scouting missions, he had always beleived in the saying, "Ya want a job done right then ya gott'a do it you self" he would always leave his trusted captain Hounves in charge of the vermin. H edashed of into the setting sun, the sky was getting darker, and it would take at least 2 days to catch up to that repulsive ferret and the horid mouse!

[Veilette]

Evy had snoozed off for quite some time, and she had forgotten where she was for a moment. Blinking around tiredly, she yawned.
"Whoops, I must've nodded off. Oh, willya lookit that? I'm in a forest! Could've sworn I was in some desert.." Just then she started to remember what had taken place. She looked down at her stick and smiled.
"Ah, yes, now I remember. That little mousey ran off. I guess I should start tracking her down."
She looked down at the moist ground.
"Good thing her pawprints are still here. There would be no other way to follow her if not."
Without taking a backward glance, Evy moved on forward. She was quite confident that she'd find Silver. She seemed like quite an inexperienced little mouse, and wouldn't bother to cover her tracks.
"I'll find you, little mouse, and next time you won't get away..."

[Silver]

Silver leaned against a tree and started panting. She had been running forever it felt like. She looked around and could see that Evy wasn't around.
"Thank heavens!" She gasped out, putting a paw to her chest. "I was quite sure I'd be a dead beast back there!"
Little did she know, but Evy and the rat were close on her tail. She thought that the rat was dead, and that Evy wasn't following her. But she was wrong.
"Just incase.." she began, wrapping her cloak around herself. "I better hide."
She looked around and came upon a fallen branch.
"Ah! Perfect!" She said to herself, silently walking over to it. "If I hide behind here, nobeast would ever find me!"
Sitting down on broken twigs and dry leaves, she made herself comfortable. But she was still frightened. It was dark and gloomy, she could feel her own eyes glowing in the dark. She felt as if she was being watched..

[Sunflash The Axe]

somebeast was near, but not watching, the evil rat was passing by, it didn't seem as tho he was tracking everyone, he passed by Silver and went out of site.


Jinsklion the rat entered a vermin camp about 10 minnutes later, "Plomince, Hujlump! see me in my tent"
he growled as he entered his large tent and sat to eat an unfinished roasted bird, two bumbling fat rats entered,
"yes chief?"
"aye chief"
the rat looked up at the poor excuses for rats, the captains instantly noticed a large black eye, " 'ow'd ya get that black eye chief" asked Plomince worridly "that dosn't matter you idjit" he replied as he tookk another bite of the bird, "alert the hord, get them ready to track two beasts, a Ferret and a mouse maid, nobody gets away alive after giving me a black eye" he said as he spat out a feather, the rat stood there dumbly like they expected the rat to say something more, "well? get out of my site you fools!" he yelled as he hurled the dead bird carcass at them, they quickly stumbled and ran out of the tent, their voices could be heard getting the vermin prepaired to leave.

[topaz]

The fox had followed ehr. when she hid he tilted his head a little. With his exalent eharing he heard what she had said. Edging closer it was apparent she was hiding from some beast. Most liekyl some bad beast. They weren't far from one of his hidden entrances to his den. The fenec then quietly moved up behind her. he stayed out of arms reach and whispered at her. "I could help you hide." He offered. if she did anything like scream or act hostile oinhis eyes hewould flee.

[Silver]

Silver opened her eyes in sheer terror.
"Wh-who are you?!!" Her voice came out in a shaky stutter.
"What do you want with me?" Then she added, "What does everybody want with me?! I've been being chased all day!" She jumped up and looked at the fox.
"How did you know I was here, anyway?" She found herself asking too many questions, she began to wonder if she should run or not. Her feet seemed to be frozen. She was too scared to move.

[topaz]

When she jumped up he fell over backwards curling up in a ball afraid she would strike out at him. "M-me hear you." he stuttered out apparently just afraid of her as she was of him. "Me have good hearing. Me have den near bye. Who follow you no follow you through den. Me good at hiding presence." Upon his right wrist was part of a hain that held him to an oar seasons ago. he looked as he may bolt at a moments notice.

[Veilette]

Evy had been wandering for a long time when she began to grow tired. Looking around longinly for water, she began speaking to herself.
"I don't think I'll ever find that little mouse--" Just then she heard voices. And she could tell that one was that of Silver.
"Ah, I spoke to soon."
Creeping behind a rock she investigated. She squinted her eyes and could see two figures ahead. She couldn't tell what they were doing, but she could hear that they were both frightened.
"Did she kill the poor beast?" She whispered to herself, quite confused at what was going on. She usually had quite keen eyesight, but she was tired and it was dark, so she couldn't make much out.
"I'll just sit here behind the rock for awhile.. then I'll make a move.."

[topaz]

Zerda's ears began to move back and forth. "Me hear someone." The small big eared fox began to scan the area with his eyes listening. Being mostly nocternal he could see werll in conditions of poor lighting. he spotted Evy leaning out from behind a rock. "Come we must go. SOmeone hee!" he whispered to her and turned towards his den entrance. If they could make it there then they should be safe till morning. But by then they would be long gone.

[Veilette]

Evy scolwed.
"He saw me! I knew I shouldn't have peeked out twice!" She looked over and saw that they were about to leave.
"Oh! Just great! Now I'll have to chase them down again!" She got up and slowly walked over to them. She could see that both of them were terrified. Putting her arms out to her sides and one footpaw infront of the other she made her way over slowly.
"Now now.. please.. don't.. run.."
She was over atleast one foot away from Zerda and Silver when she stopped.
"Just stay. Running won't get you anywhere. Do you really think I was going to harm you?"
She could see that it wasn't the time to ask questions like such. Rolling her eyes she held out her paw.
"Hello, I'm Evy, what's your name?"

[topaz]

The small fox didn't let Evy get anywhere near that close. He grabbed Sliver's wrist and pulled her along after him. He hadn't survived this long since his escape by letting something he preceived as a threat to get close to him.

As soon as Evy stepped out he grabbed Silver's wrist and drug her after him. She could easily break his grip from her wrist.
