I don't think so Song. I think you are still not telling us something... Do not forget, if I could stand and walk, I would be on you in an instant. So it's best to speak naught but the truth... Did you forget that I've known you for a good twelve years? I'm not the kind of beast to be lied to. I cannot forget my past, all the good I've done, all the evil I've wrought... As much as I'd like to forget it, Zahi will die before me. It is something that I saw the day I spared Quickbow in the tourament a few months ago... I do not claim to be a seer, but there are things that I've known, and felt that I wish not to happen, yet I'm sure will happen. I lost my world once, and I will lose it again. For as long as there needs to be a hero to arise from my clan, there will always be a Raiden, there will always be what I have, and will suffer, for as long as my clan endures, the prophercy that I am bound to will always happen.
**Raiden's voice held a deadly edge to it. He never liked to speak of his shadowed past, yet his future was set in stone, but was as mysterious as a vield threat.**

*Tasna nodded at Raiden. With one final galnce at Song, the otter stood up and turned sharply from the squirrel. She walked over to the far wall and sat down against it. She sighed and glared into Song's eyes. Tasna spoke in a soft but forceful voice* You can't hide it Song. Please stop trying. It's not going to work. I haven't know you for that long, but I can tell what the truth is and what is false.
*Tasna drew her cutlass and slammed the blade into the ground, creating a deep slice which she run her paw over. The feeling reminded her of the deep scar on her footpaw that one of her former villagers gave her after she ran away*
You now that you can't survive out here all alone DeRud.
*Tasna blocked the mouse's incoming blade* Watch me you piece of scum! *She jumped blackwards and spun to the side to avoid a tree.
Ha! *He brought his blade down again, just slicing down Tasna's footpaw and splitting the back of her moccasins.
*Tasna screamed but didn't stop. She landed on her good footpaw and glared at her foe* Watch your back. *She took off through the woods*
*He looked behind him to the left he saw Tasna's two friends, Willowtail and Maplebrush, advancing him, both carrying a scimitar. He yelled as they charged toward him. After he was out of sight, they turned to where Tasna had run, smiling, and then took off into the woods*
*Tasna smiled and thought of what her friends friends did for her* I need to find them.

**Song looked up and sighed. The young maid looked at her friends and turned away. Keeping silent, she walked slowly toward the door. Suddenly, she collapsed next to the entrance. The weak squirrel had fainted.**

*Tasna yelled Song's name and sprung up. She ran over to the squirrel and lifted her up, cradling her in her forepaws. She walked over to an empty bed and placed her on it. Tasna grabbed a clean rag and dunked it into a bowl of cold water. She squeezed the excess water out, folded it, and placed it on Song's forehead, which she had felt to be rather hot* Oh man, Brawn is going to freak out. Why couldn't you just tell us the truth Song?
*Tasna stroked Song's head and sank to the ground* Maplebrush was training to be a medic. If only she was here. And Willowtail could help too. He was always far more witty than I. * Raiden, you live with a medic. What else am I to do? *Tasna felt the scar on her leg and wanted to just run out the door and find her two friends*

**Song's eyes fluttered, slowly, and she choked on a chuckle.** RAi Dinnae' live with a medic. 'Is Wifey is a ranger. Though, wit' all Rai's been through with me, 'though 'e's much older, 'e could do wit' livin wit' a medic. **Song looked at TAsna, her eyes closing again. **I won' go yet. Gotta 'elp you find your friends mate.

OOC: I don't know where Brown is so I'm guessing that he's outside.
*Tasna blushed. She could never remember who was doing what*
I won' go yet. Gotta 'elp you find your friends mate.
*Tasna's eyes widened as she look at Song. Then she frowned* No Song. That's something I'll need to do on my own. But that's not relevant right now. You better rest. My friends are my concern. I'm not as helpless as you seem to treat me. *She took the cloth and wet it again, trying to think of any excuse to leave so she could think about what she was going to do next*

*With all the havoc that had been ensuing in the make-shift healing area that was created for the wounded from the previous battle, it was no strange wonder that the disappearance of two beast from the main group wasn't more closely looked upon. However, this would soon come to head, as things were not looking so great for those still remembered. Just as Tasna was treating Song, and trying to figure out a way to retreat for a little while from the area, a loud voice was heard from the outside, shouting out to whoever was inside.* I 'opes yer ready fer more woun'ed, mates. An' I also 'opes yer rea'y fer some more 'elp! *It was here, at this point, that the door which Song originally was trying to reach burst open as four figures came in, three of which were recognizable. First in through the door was Scratchfur, obviously a little weary from the trek travelled to get here. His overcoat was off and his hat was spun in a strange direction from its usual resting place. As he marched in, his paws were seen behind his back, holding what looked to be a make-shift stretcher in which Kaiden was laying, covered by Scratchy's overcoat and obviously unconscious. As the stretcher moved in more, there was another beast holding the other side of the stretcher, and this beast was the odd one out. It was an otter, but not one that had been seen around before. Instead, he was a shorter than average otter that wore a somewhat blood-red colored jacket that almost seemed to be like an overcoat. On his right hip dangled a mace, which was attached to his belt. The fourth beast to enter right after the otter was Laif. Looking around the room, both beasts bearing the stretcher coordinated themselves perfectly in movement so that they reached a spare bed and unloaded Kaiden into it with the least amount of movement to Kaiden as possible.*

*Tasna sighed with relief* Thank goodness you're here Scratchy! *She watched as the foursome made it over to a spare bed and set Kaden down. The otter eyes each of them carefully, checking for any major injuries. Not noticing any, her eyes drifted over to the strange, new otter. Tasna smiled at the fact that she wasn't the only otter around anymore.
She walked to Scratchfur and placed a paw on his shoulder. I'm glad to see you're well. *Tasna looked down at Kaden* Is he hurt too bad? *She couldn't think of much else to say. She just stood there, staring at Kaden with soft, sad eyes*

**Song had always recovered fast, although she really might have been better not to. The reason for this was that Song was a very helpful squirrel, whose selfless attitude normally took quite a toll on her weak body. She had been told several times not to get up, to just rest, but her stubborn side also made that hard.
Anyhow, The tiny squirrel awoke as Kaden was being unloaded. Quickly, she sat up, struggling, and out of breath. In a flash she was by her friend's side, excited and nervous. Healing. It was so awful when she messed up, so good when she didn't. She vowed not to mess this one up. Looking around, she questioned, her voice dry, raspy, and hoarse.** Any Supplies?

*Tasna nearly jump as she heard Song's voice next to her. The otter opened her mouth to protest but shut it immediately* Working at what she does best might be the only medicine that will help her. *Tasna nodded to Song and moved away from the crowd. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, now that there were two medics here, she silently slipped out of the doorway while they were starting their work.
Tasna sighed with relief that she had finally gotten away from the craziness. She walked over to a tree a bit to the side of the entrance and sat down, leaning against it* Now I can finally get a chance to think. *Tasna's tense body began to relax as she fell deep in thought about the previous events, and if she was going to decide to look for her friends*

May 'aps I should learn more of a medic's trade, or may 'aps I should think about starting to hang my blades up...
**Slowly, Raiden sat up, a look of meloncoly(?) on his brutalised features as he considered quitting fighting... Only for it to be replaced with a grim determination. he whispered one last sentence to himself before he closed his eyes to think.**
One of these days I will find my home and hang up my blades, I will have a family to take care of... On my affidavit, I will have a family.

**Song turned on Raiden and snapped at the mouse furiously. ** Raiden! Shut up and go to sleep! **Although he was a superior officer, that really didn't matter to her. The squirrel healer turned to Kaden and searched for wounds.** Where is he hurt?

Raiden! Shut up and go to sleep!
*Tasna sighed and shook her head* Poor Song is getting too frustrated with this. *Tasna hadn't decided her next move but she did care about that know. Her head clear, the otter stood up and walked back in. She stood in the dorrway, staring at Song's back* Careful Song. Calm down. You need to relax. Your sick and you know it. *Tasna pointed to an emty bed* Now lie down and just relax! *Her voice was rising and her whole body began to shake* Why won't you listen?

I've had enought sleep for one day Song. I have too much to think about to sleep right now...
**Even with his eyes closed, Raiden couldn't escape the horrors of war and fighting.**
No mercy can be granted to one who does not deserve it... What I've done deserves no mercy... When I fall, I will find release from my past...
**His whispers were barely heard by himself, yet he knew the deep meaning inside them.**

*Tasna's frustration with Song growing, she began to sweat and burn up. Her stomach gave a sudden, violent start and turned into a chunk of ice. The world began spinning around her, and blobs of faces and visions from past events were dancing around in front of her eyes. It all swirled into a mass of colors and she felt herself swaying on her feet. She heard a scream inside her head, and the ground rushed up to meet her very suddenly. She mumbled as she fell.* Maple...Willie...no.
