You are aware that I did know that, and it wasn't intentional aren't you... Anyway, it's just a scratch... In that memory I was gripping my paw axe tightly, so while I was reliving it, my paw did clench.
**Raiden's eye fixed Song with a slightly hostile glare for a few seconds, before resuming it's blank vigalant gaze on the far wall.**

**Song stared back, though tears still streamed down her fce. She threw herself down and regretted it again.** But! Its Bleeding!

I told you, it's NOTHING! I don't use my right paw often, so it'll heal over fine. I've let several wounds more serious than this heal themselves, and I'm still kicking am I not? Now stay resting before I DO tie you down. My patience can only strech so far. I lost my best fiend just two days ago, so cut me some slack would you?!?
**Raiden's voice was full of anger. Fully justified anger in his eye. He felt lower than what he was with Rose left unburied, and his past giving him grief while awake.**

**SOng sat back, eyes closed. The young maiden felt pain all over. The pain affected her heart too. She sighed, and dried her tears. Where was Brawn? No one told her. Now Songwind was worried. Everything was so awful, so painful. Where were her friends? Zahi? Horus? The squirrel started to cry again.** Where's everyone? Raiden, Whats wrong with, me, why do I hyave to stay on a bed? WHats wrong with you?

Nothing is wrong with me. I just hate being pushed around, one reason I left military duties. My patience has been getting shorter since I turned seventeen, so I end up snapping when I don't want to... I'm also still upset about Rose dieing, so I'm not in the best of moods right now.
I'll say... Anyway, where's my bow?!? It was by the fire when we came in, and you'd better not have thrown it on the fire...
It's in a tree with your quiver. It was like a tower caterpualt while I was on watch.
Well go get it then!
Again with the orders! Geez, I save your tail more than twice, and you go around treating me like dirt. You seem to care more for your bow than you do for me!

**Song sighed again. This was not how things were supposed to be. Brawn. SOng felt tears rise in her throat, coupled with hoarse sobs. Brawn. Why weren't they saying anything? Brawn. That one word she longed to say, yet couldn't, for fear of weeping. She sat up painfully, too nervous to rest. Some brain Raiden was. No one seemed to know what was going on, and no one wopuld tell her where Brawn was, or how she had gotten hurt. Anger with Raiden welled inside of her, and she looked at Zahi.
All anger left, and sadness lingered. Brawn. Oh Lore, Where was her mate?** Zahi...Wh-WH-Where's Brawn? Wh-Wh-WHat H-h-happened?

Oh sure... You ask her, but not me... You pair are the darn limit! You can both go to Hell's Gate's as far as I care right now!
**Raiden stormed out of the tent in a black mood, he had been letting personal feelings interfere with what his job had him do. Taking a long and thick piece of wood, he headed back in the direction of the fort for several hours.**
**Zahi was shocked at Raiden's words. She cared about Rose as much as Raiden did, but she had a job to do and would not let personal feelings interfere with it. Slowly, she answered Song's questions.**
Brawn's back down the path Song... With Rina. You are in a bed because you collapsed again... You had us all worried sick when you collapsed for that third time. Now, hush yourself and try to rest. By my ancestors, you need it.

**SOng sighed, slowly realeasing her pent up worry. Raiden's yelling had scared her. The Mouse wasn't like this normally. The squirrel was not one to rest with injured around her. She lied back all the same.**ZAhi, how did I do that?

I don't know... I just don't know... He's like this most of time... He was angry when he discovered I was following him... ME! I was the one who saved his life. He knows he owes me a debt of honour, but beyond that, he refuses my help, saying he can do it himself. He says I'm the only one who gives him hope anymore... But I think that somedays he'd be happier if I wasn't there... That he'd be better off if I was dead...
**Zahi felt down-hearted at her husband's attitude, yet she knew deep down that Raiden cared for her... He just didn't show it often enougth for it to be recognizable... Still, she felt like she had Guardian Angel... His name being Raiden... Raiden Alexander Uriel Silversword VII.**
I guess that he does care for us... All of us... He's just... He's just bitter over the events that have led his life in it's course... Do you know what he said to me a few nights ago back in the barracks, Song?

**SOng looked over at Zahi, suddenly feeling a sharp pain. Her eyes fluttered softly as she slowly blacked out.** What?

He told me... He told me this; "Zahi... You are all I care about. You are the only one who holds the key to my secret heart." Those words touched me... He touched me... But the events of the last few days... I think they have shaken his reslove...
**Suddenly a long bow and full quiver of arrows thudded to the ground at the foot of the bed.**
Wha?
My resolve remains as unshakable as it ever did. My anger is more disapated than earlier.
**Raiden stood in the doorway of the tent, a long, thin weapon over his shoulder.**
There's something in there for you Zahi. Something that I don't use very often anymore; My paw axe. A gift for my wife on our second wedding anniversary... Dispite it's tomorrow... I just couldn't wait.

**Song smiled softly as her long dark lashes fluttered. Somedays she wondered if she knew Raiden better than Zahi. The squirrel had known that he would come back. SOmeday....HEr eyes closed and she gasped. **Ahhh....

Is something wrong Song?
**Song's gasp snapped Raiden from his reverie. He had been remembering the he lost his freedom in one way, and gained it in another; the day he had married Zahi at Redwall Abbey, and an event two days prior; The day he had returned to Redwall...
**Skipper Waterrun was on lookout duty that morning. While he waited for breakfast, he gazed over the walltops. Seeing a female mouse slightly ahead of a cloak figure, he imidiately called the alarm.**
Alarm! Suspicious beasts on the path!
Open the gate! Open the gate! We're not hostiles!
If that was true, why are you armed?
I'm armed because I am, and there are vermin abroad in the woods. Now, open the gate!
**The two figures swiftly entered the opened gates, and stood before Abbess Willow herself.**
Who are you?
**Insted of answering, the cloaked figure threw open their cloak, and removed the hood before speaking.**
I? I am... No... My name is... My name is Raiden Alexander Uriel Silversword VII.
Raiden? RAIDEN!!!
**A ball of red fur launched itself from the crowd and onto the mouse.**
Tyrogue? Tyrogue, I suggest you jump off me... Espcilly if you don't want to be a pin cusion...
**Raiden watched as his squirrel friend lept off. The mouses compainion lowered the arrow she had noched on her bow. Standing back up, he planted his blade at his foot paws.**
Three years ago, I argued over going to stop my father. I succeded, but at a great cost. I lost my brother and sister. I said I would not return untill I had completed my task... Now it is over, I have returned. I said things I'm not proud of. I said things that can't be taken back...
**Griping his sword, he lifted it clear of the ground, and then oddly for him, he knelt down with it griped by hilt and blade. Lifting it forwards, he offered it to Abbess Willow.**
Here is my sword Mother Abbess, take it and do as you will with it...
No Raiden. You keep your sword. You may find use for it. Say... Who's your compainion? She hasn't said a word...
**Stepping forward, the female mouse spoke for the first time inside the Abbey walls.**
I am Zahi Mersadie Genhallen, late of the Silversword clan.
I thought that all the members of the Silversword clan had the clan's name as theeir last name.
Only the ruling family has the clan's name as their last.
Raiden, aren't you going to tell them?
Tell us what?
**Looking rather embaressed, Raiden answered the question.**
Erm... Me and Zahi... We.... We're engaged...
REALLY?!?!?!? It's about time you settled down with a girl Raiden... Tyrogue, tell the friar that he's got a feast to prepare! We have to get something sorted in a few days!
Errr... Isn't this a bit sudden? I'm not complaining, but isn't just a few days a bit soon?
**Raiden never go an answer, insted he was whisked about by several beasts for two days. Suits... Rings... Location... All of these and more he was asked to check, try on, or look at. When the big day finally arrived, he was tired, and nealy over-slept... But he made it to the Great Hall in time... It seamed to take forever, but finaly Abbess Willow said "You may kiss the bride." Thoe words brought tears of joy to the scared mouse. The same words still lifted his spirits two years later.**
**Looking at Song again, he asked his question once more.**
You okey Song?

**Song heard the words softly pounding into her ear, causing a painful throb in her head. She closed her eyes, and succumbed to the tired aurora surrounding her.**

Bless her, she's finally setling down to sleep... By my ancestors, she needs it...
*Several hours later.*
Hmmmm... My leg feels numb... Ow... Pins and Needles...
OOC: I know it's short... I just can't be bothered to type a really long one today...
