Oh NO! Not Them!!!

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


Zee takes good a long drink of his tea; he had added a little ale to it and seemed to like it that way.

Longfang walks into the tavern and glances around as he smirks, “My kind of place.” He watches a couple rats fighting in the fighting Pits and grins “I say the tall one loses.”

Zee looks over at the ermine noticing the outfit and raises an eyebrow; he takes another drink “Interesting choice of clothing boy.” He says calmly.

Longfang turns to the voice and studies the badger and chuckles “Well, well a stripe dog. My master hates stripe dogs and since he does, so do I.”

Zee shrugs “Every beast can have their own opinion lad, never said ya couldn’t.”

Longfang walks a little closer and studies the badger more, then asks, “So who are you old one and how do you stay in this vermin village without fear?”

Zee answers once he has had a long drink of the spiked tea, “Well, tis simple lad. They brother me I whack them with my staff, you seem familiar and I can’t place why…oh well no matter come to me later. I know a lot of faces; you come to know a lot of faces at this age boy. Age can be a gift or a curse, depends on how ya look at it suppose.” He finishes the tea “Zee Winters”

Longfang eyes go wide, then again maybe the badger is too old to remember, “Well..” He then goes to order a strong ale and rests his paw on the bar table, on the top of his paw is clearly a light blue arrow with a frost like design on it.

Zee goes to get some water and stops as he notices the tattoo and blinks, he has seen that before but where and when. He snorts as he can’t remember, darn old age and some of its problems. He was usually good at remembering things that was important, but course he has had other things on his mind but that shouldn’t matter.

Longfang gets the strong ale and drinks it straight down and sits down the empty glass. Its then he notices the badger stare at him and the paw and moves ever so slightly away, “Well I have some other matters to attend to…do have a good eve.” He turns to leave and smirks on his way out, seems old beasts are no threat to him.

Zee sits there as if in a daze as he tries to figure out where he has seen a beast like that and the tattoo, it means something.

A paw is waved in front of the badger “Hey…Mossflower to badger..hello?” Marek says as he had walked over.

Zee blinks at the paw and then frowns “I gate old age sometimes, ya know that lad?”

Marek just rolls his eyes, “What ever..here is some water I think you’re a little..drunk or something, drink the water and go to bed the room upstairs is empty Mr. Zee” He then starts to clean some mugs.

Zee takes a sip of water and then suddenly does a spit take and water goes everywhere as he coughs”No!..I.. I –KNOW- who he is or least that..that tattoo, it’s the Frosted Arrow!” He stands and grips his staff and moves faster than he has in seasons and is all too quickly out the door.

Marek is left behind and just stares “The frosted what now?” He shakes his head “Whatever, maybe he finally lost it.” And back to cleaning .

Zee meanwhile is outside and quickly scans the area, after speaking to a few beasts he finally got the info he needed, the Frosted Arrow beast left and headed to the dirt road, And Zee intends to make sure he doesn’t get too far down the road!!!!
