Death of Morrax

Morrax raises up out of bed and coughs.

Jake glances over at the hamster and frowns, he looks around as a healer was here but stepped out.

Oak walks into the room, munching an apple, he looks at the hamster. "Oh...yer' awake, well 'den...G'mornin"

Morrax smiles as well as he burnt form allows him to do. "Good Afternoon, Jake, err...Oak". He coughs. "Oh don't bother Jake, not much can be done for me anymore"

Jake sighs "You can't expect to heal quickly from this"

Antonio peers into the room" Wot going on in here now?"

Morrax smiles. "Not entirely what I meant, my friend" he sighs. "You see, it is my time"

Jake tilts his head"I..Could go get a healer, wouldn’t be too hard "

Oak points to Morrax. "Well 'ye see, 'me harey friend, 'dis 'ere 'amster is 'adyin', and 'ee'd like 'te die in peace 'wid 'is friends if 'ye don't mind!"

Antonio glares at Oak “Well aren’t ya rude, wot wot!"

Jake frowns "Now oak, the abbey beasts or...who ever this is..free to go where they please...pretty much"

Morrax coughs. "Now Now, Oak...you need not be so rude" he coughs again. "But you are correct, I am dying...it is not so bad though, I will be with my parents, and my brother". He looks at Jake. "You may get a healer if you wish, to deal with your own wounds"

Jake frowns "My leg is healing good, still...not able to stand too long, doesn’t mean I can't go on the wall tops just...haven’t yet"

Antonio looks between the beasts and blinks "Ummm...should I get someone, wot"

Oak shakes his head, and addresses Antonio. "Look, I'm sorry 'fer bein' rude...but 'ee's goin', there ain't nuthin' anybeast can do no more"

Antonio frowns, he backs out of the room "Umm, see ya chaps later I umm...death isn't me thing, wot wot" He quietly leaves threw the door.

Jake watches the other hare leave and looks towards Oak and then Morrax, he is not a healer and sighs.

Morrax sighs. "I see, well, I must say my friend, it has been a short life for me, as well as my brother, but it is nearly time for me to go, may I have a piece of paper and a Quill"

Jake raises an eyebrow “Wot for?" he looks around for quill and paper, he looks at oak "Umm...you have any?"

Oak shrugs, he walks out, and after a few minutes with paper, ink, and quill.

Jake gets the items and hands them to Morrax “Why do you umm...need these for?"

Morrax begins writing on the paper. "I repeat my friend, it is my time, I will be going soon"

Jake frowns now, "So..what are you..writing?" He watches him and is quiet for a while before he asks "So when is you’re so called...time of death since you seem to know?"

"Soon" Morrax says simply.

Oak sits there as watches as Morrax writes on the sheet of paper. "It's kinda creepy how much this hamster knows, he even knows when he's goin 'te die...that's jus' creeepy"

Jake shrugs, he watches Morrax and looks to the door “I wander if we should...tell someone maybe" he sighs “Too much is going on right now, the Bloodclaw thing is out of control....two captives, he has hurt beasts...he needs stopped and soon"

Morrax smiles. "In death I am close enough to the spirits to speak the prophecy clearly".

Oak looks at Morrax. "Then tell us"

Jake listens to see if the hamster says anything.

Morrax clears his throat and speaks in a clear voice. "The one with Bloody claws grows in strength, he has the silver hair'ed one..and the one who is father even to his father. He will leave a destructive trail in mossflower until the Pike emerges from the waters and the troubled ones purge his dark heart with an arrow drawn straight and true, the spirits have spoken"

Jake blinks, he looks at the hamster and hmmms "Ummm" he looks at Oak "Least he..wrote it down..think"

Morrax smiles. "My friends, I will miss this life, but it is even better in the next" his eyes close, and he moves no more.

Oak blinks. "E'ee's dead....."

Jake frowns, he gets up as quickly as one with a hurt leg can, he motions a healer over, the healer takes the hamsters pulse and frowns, she sadly shakes her head. Jake slowly sits back down and frowns more.

Oak watches as a the healer puts a sheet over Morrax  and frowns. "Tis 'de saddest death I’ve seen, 'ee was my friend". He walks off slowly.

Jake frowns at Oak, he starts to say something and decides it's not worth it, he stands and walks out himself.

Oak frowns and follows the hare out.
