Troubled Three

Morrax walks in, he mutters under his breath about something, and slightly moves his fez, he looks around, slightly distrustful to the beasts in the room, but says nothing.

Jake is sitting at the table eatting soup and some bread, and a glass of water as well is beside the soup, he looks up at the hamster and then back to his soup.

Morrax blinks, he gives the hare a strange look, but doesn't say anything, he just keep muttering to himself.

Jake sips his water and nods "Hallo there,..need some help?"

Morrax shakes his head. "You couldn't help me!...Blargh", he continues to mutter to himself, he eyes Jake strangely.

Jake shrugs and decides to finish his soup and gets up to put away the dishes in the kitchen and returns a few mins later and sits down again.

Morrax says nothing, but seems to be staring into empty space, with a eerie silence, and a strange look, it seems as if he is staring into the great beyond itself.

Jake sighs "Wot do you need sir?"

Morrax at Jake words, Morrax's stares directly at Jake. "A bloody claw I see, for the troubled three. Though safe inside the red stone wall, soon time will tell a hero's call, and though you seek to better be, life is rough for the troubled three".

Jake blinks as he listens to the hamster. "Umm..alright then, you eat too much of something odd maybe?" He shakes his head.

Morrax shakes his head. "What?...who?...when?....where am I?...what am I doing here?...Why do I feel so weird?...Where's Whoe?"

Jake sighs as he shakes his head "You were talking odd...whoe?" He frowns but doesnt say anything right , "Umm..Whoe is dead."

Morrax blinks. "Dead?...dead how?...dead when?...DEAD!".

Jake sighs, he shrugs "I don't know, Maxtor and Silver found him, I wasn't there and I don't know all the details of it sorry"

Morrax growls. "WHATTTTTTTT!!!"

Jake says, "You need to be quiet in the abbey and not yell, and like I said before you need to speak with Silver or Maxtor, they were there not me""

Morrax nods. "Right, Silver, Maxtor, Whoe dead, talk to them, not you, blargh...got it"

Jake rolls his eyes and sighs as he mutters "Why couldnt he of talked to someone else, why me?"

Morrax blinks. "You are here, they are not, duh"

Jake frowns "Lucky me"

Morrax blinjks. "Oh, my apoligies, I did not introduce myself, I am Morrax Narkus...apparently the last of the Narkus family". He shows Jake his fez. "This is a fez. Fez's are a common garment where I am from, I have search for my brother for 4 seasons, to find him dead is a...well, terrible loss"

Jake listens as he speaks and nods "Well hopfully you can find out wot happen then, maybe talk to Flicktail "

Morrax nods. "Yes, well. I must go now then". He goes off muttering. "Talking weird, what was that hare talking about"

A couple hours time passes

Silver sits in a chair by the fire...

Morrax mutters to himself. "Whoe dead, grr, bloody claw, bloodyclaw, troubled three, better be, bloody claw". Then he seems to come to reality. "where am I?...what?...who?...where?...when?...who are you?"

Silver looks at the hamster and smiles."Hello there sir!"

Lorimis looks up as he comes down the stairs "wot that ya say Silver? wot Sir be ere?"

Morrax blinks. "What?...who..who you are?..what, who are you...troubled three, you are one of the troubled three, oh yes you are, heehehehehehhe, bloodyclaw's in your future, yes there is...troubled three, Whoe dead is beginning of prophecy, you will see, yes you will". Then he comes to reality. "What?...where am I?"

Lorimis comes down "ay you be one o them Hampster beasts"

Morrax nods. "Yes, I am hamster, do not talk to me, you are not of the troubled three, this prophect pertain to you, oh no it doesn't, no it doesn't, noooo"

Silver hmms."You are an odd hamster...and wot do I have to do with this?"

Lorimis says, "Oi think e doesn't wants ta talk wi me"

Morrax blinks. "I don't know...what are you talking about.". Then suddenly he turns in mood again. "You are one of the troubled three, the silver hare, the bearer of the sword, and the one of valley of replys...yes, bloodyclaw's are in your future, troubled three, yes you are"

Lorimis says, "Well this Hampster seems to me in the right place"

Silver nods"I use daggers...not swords...sorry!"

Morrax blinks. "Silence!, you are not of the troubled three, the prophecy isn't of you, you are not the silver hare, nor the bearer of the sword, nor the from the valley of replys, you will be silent". He turns to Silver. "You ARE of the troubled three, and bloodyclaws are in your future"

Flicktail walks in munching on a beetroot pie.

Silver shrugs."Well I hate to tell you but I dont want to get in any more trouble."

Morrax blinks. "What are you talking about?...what is going on?"

Lorimis says, "yes we have had Trouble a plenty"

Flicktail perks up "oi..a HAMPSTER, and will ya LOOk atthat Fez! Beautiful!"

Silver shrugs."Dont know...you seem to keep going on about the troubled three..."

Morrax looks at Flicktail and points at him. "Silence!, you are not of the troubled three, this prophecy is not of you, you are not the silver hare, nor the bearer of the sword, nor the one from the valley of replys, you WILL be silent". He turns to Silver. "You have a destiny, bloodclaws are in your future, the prophecy will not be denied. The Troubled three will face the bloodyclaws, in the near future, I have spoken, you have been warned"

Flicktail blinks and looka at his sword "um..oi beg ta differ there sir"

Silver hmms."Well maybe your prophecy is wrong...I dont play on fighting unless I have to you know!"

Morrax stares directly at Flicktail. "I have spoken, you are not of the prophecy, DO NOT INTERVENE...with destiny". He then stares at the wall again, completly unaware of ANYTHING that he said during the last few minutes. He stares blankly at the wall, mumbling to himself, and eating fish with custard"

Flicktail says, "well..um..Oi do Bear a sword....."

Lorimis offers the Hampster a bit more custard.

Morrax takes the custard offered, and looks at Flicky. "Huh?...who are you?...where am I?...Yes you do bear a sword, the Martin sword, but why are you telling me this?"

Flicktail says, "well it seemed loike th thing ta do"

Silver laughs. "Did your parents drop you on your head when you were little Mr. hamster?"

Flicktail says, "Just look at th Fez"

Lorimis says, "now now Silver, be polite"

Silver shrugs."Just asking!"

Flicktail goes over to poke at Silver's arm some "how be th arm Silver?"

Silver laughs."Its geting better...but still hurts when you poke it!"

Flicktail says, "oh...um sorry there Chap"

Silver laughs still."Its ok...it does not hurt all that bad, just does not feel good!"

Byronn steps into the hall quietly, a sleeping mouse dibbun in his arms and smiles cheerfully at the others before taking a seat.

Flicktail grins at Byronn "ello there mate "

Morrax growls. "There was no dropping of heads troubled one, and the fez is an important part of my culture, it will not be mocked".

Flicktail says, "not Mocking it there Mr Hampster, were admiring it....thats really wow"

Silver smiles."Hello Byronn!", He looks at Morrax. "I like the fez, been thinking about geting one for myself!"

Morrax blinks at Flicktail. "I was speaking to the troubled one". He tilts his head. "But I am glad you like the fez, did I mention Fish and Custard is rather good?"

Lorimis asks, "would you like more fish?"

Byronn eyes the hampster and waves slightly. " Hello there! I don't believe we've met, names Byronn"

Silver sighs."Sorry but I dont need any trouble right now!"

Lorimis says, "and don;t poke his arm"

Morrax nods at Byronn. "Yes, nice to meet you as well. I am Morrax Narkus"

Flicktail says, "Oi be Flicktail Sir"

Byronn Nods and smiles at Flick. " How've you been?"

Silver smiles."My name is Silver Van Flaherty!"

Morrax blinks. "You are Silver, you saw Whoe dead, you know what happened to Whoe, what happenned to Whoe?...Who killed Whoe!"

Silver frowns."Some rat...did you know him?"

Morrax blinks. "Rat?"

Silver nods."Yeah....rat"

Flicktail says, "verminous rat"

Byronn snuggles the dibbun gently, tickling his ears.

Silver frowns."Did you know him?"

Morrax blinks. "Yes a rat is a rat by definition troubled one". He turns to Flicktail. "and a vermin as well"

Flicktail asks, "who be that Byronn? will ya be brining im to Oz's capout fer dibbuns?"2011 at Morrax shakes his head. "I know no rats".

Flicktail says, "that not be True Mr Morrax, not all Foxes be verminous either"

Lorimis rises to see to his duties "Good eve all"

Morrax looks around. "I must be going, it is getting late. I must rest". He looks at Silver, his eyes foggy with the all-knowing power of the seer. "You are of the troubled three, troubled one, and bloodyclaws are in your future, as well as the other troubled one's".

Flicktail scritches his head.Silver sighs."I am not part of any troubled three, sorry!"

Flicktail says, "don worry Sil-fur..oi not let ya be troubled"

The next Day on the dirt road

Silver sighs."Well...dont worry...Lot could not have got to far with her..."

Maxtor walks into the area. "Oh hi Silver, who's Lot?...couldn't of gone far with who?"

Wydran looks at the mouse, and says, "Lot is a hare who kidnapped Biff, another hare, from the Abbey, have you seen them?"

Maxtor shrugs. "I know Biff, but I never heard of a Lot. This is bad...we have to find Biff"

From the distance comes a voice. "Indeed you do Troubled one, for you will need all the help you can get for the future"

Silver nods."It does not matter who Lot is...right now we just need to find Biff..."

Maxtor blinks. "Troubled one?...what the heck are you...hey, you have a fez"

Silver sighs."Dont worry about him right now Max...he is a bit odd...but right now we need to find Biff and Lot!"

Maxtor nods. "Right, well, okay...but, troubled one?"

Morrax nods. "You are of the troubled three, the prophecy is of you, bloodyclaws are in your future"

Silver frowns."I dont want anything to do with thes prophecy ok!"

Wydran looks between Silver and the hamster oddly.

Jake walks down the dirt road, his longbow with him as is his quiver of arrows, he is out for a little target practice in the woods, beware you trees.

Silver looks at wydran and sighs."Its nothing Wydran..."

Wydran nods and looks over at Jake. "Jake! Lot has kidnapped Biff!"

Jake sees the crowd of beasts and nods a hello "Wots going on?" he asks, he frowns as that answered the question "Well then we need to find them"

Silver nods."Thats why we are all out here...."

Morrax stares at Silver. "The Choice is not yours troubled one, destiny will make it's own choices for the troubled three"

Maxtor blinks. "What's all this troubled three nonsense, I want to help Silver find Biff, I don't want some idiotic prophecy in my way". He right up in Morrax's face. "I write my own destiny"

Wydran says to Jake, "All we know is that Lot was heading south, are you going to help us search?"

Jake looks at the hamster and shakes his head "Odd fellow it ask me wot"He chuckles.

Silver sighs."Well, least there are a few of us..."

Maxtor nods. "Who is this Lot?...if he hurts my best friend's wife..I'll KILL him"

Morrax nods. "I see, yes we find this Lot, and bring him to justice. Where is he?"

Silver frowns."Thats the thing....we dont know..."

Maxtor blinks. "You are not sane are you hamster, no...not sane at all". He looks at Silver. "That's bad, where'd you last see Biff?"

Silver frowns."I dont know...last night...wydran seen them last...."

Morrax stares directly at Jake. "You are of the troubled three, approach and hear the prophecy, oh ye troubled ones, for destiny will not be denied"

Wydran turns to Maxtor. "I was the last to see her, Lot had drugged her and was heading with her south."

Jake raises an eyebrow "Umm eat something strange?"

Silver frowns."This prophecy stuff can wait...right now we need to find Biff..."

Morrax stares at them and turns to Silver, Maxtor, and Jake. "The Troubled Three with face the bloodyclaws in the near future, after the silver hare's dame is recovered, soon after". He then fusses out. "Yes, find Biff, prophecy?...what are you talking about?"

Jake blinks, he looks between them confused and sighs, "I am going back to the abbey I have a headache" he walks off to the abbey and doesn't bother to turn around he just heads to the abbey and plans to go no where else.

Silver sighs."I am not in the mood for this...."

Maxtor nods. "We have to find Biff, let's go search elsewhere". He turns to Morrax. "Please do not come, you seem a little...umm...insane"

Silver nods."Yes...maybe you could go take a nap or something..."

Morrax blinks. "Insane?...Me?...not that I'm aware of?, I assure I'm a very sane beast, and I want to help you find this Biff, it seems an important task". He pulls out a small sword. "And I assure you, I am well equipped for battle if neccesary"

Maxtor slaps his forehead.

Silver sighs."I can fight also."He points to all the daggers hanging on his chest...

Morrax smiles. "Then we have an array of fighting beasts, I don't see why I cannot go"

Silver sighs."Well you can come if you want...just try to be normal ok."

Morrax blinks. "Huh?"

Maxtor shakes his head, as they walk off. "Okay then, where are we going?"

Silver sighs."South..."

Morrax looks around. "Hmm, where exactly could she be?...should we check this clearing?"

Silver sighs."I dont know...if you want..."

Morrax shrugs. "Seems logical to me, looks like a strange enough clearing"

Maxtor looks around, "I don't see anything. Biff obviously isn't here...couldn't you use your all knowing seer power to find Biff?"

Morrax blinks. "Seer?, I don't know what your talking about"

Silver sighs and sits down."Maybe we should set up camp here...starting to get dark..."

Morrax nods. "Camp, good idea, I still can't believe Whoe is dead. Who killed him anyway?"

Silver frowns."Dont know...and right now I dont care...."

Morrax nods. "Okay, just asking. I'll go get some kindle for the fire"

Silver nods."Sounds like a good idea..."

Maxtor smiles. "Yes, go do that. I must speak with Silver anyway"

Morrax wanders off.

Silver sighs and plays with one of his daggers."Wot do you need to talk about Max....?"

Maxtor sighs. "Silver, I worried about a lot of things, I'm worried about Biff, about Bloodclaw, and about this Troubled Three Prophecy":

Silver frowns."Well try not to worry about that prophecy stuff right now....and if we run into this bloodclaw I will be happy to gut him for you..."

Maxtor blinks. "Wait a minutes, Bloodclaw, Bloodyclaws....Bloodyclaws in are future...OF COURSE!, I figured it out. But I'm not sure what the rest of it means"

Silver sighs."Good for you..."

Maxtor blinks. "Silver, I understand you need to find Biff, but you don't need to be so depressed, depression will cloud your mind and your judgement, you need not channel your depression and anger at the innocent, and don't let it cloud your judgement"

Silver sighs."I will be fine Maxtor...dont worry..."

Maxtor nods. "If you say so, but you shouldn't be depressed beyond judgement when you are injured"
