"Who-who are you.....?" the brown ferret asked her.
"I am Starr Isrelv Ritsep, Double Tripoint Staff Bearer of Highland." The white ferret answered, her voice nearly muffled under the scarf, and pointed to an oak staff with three arrow heads stuck to both ends strappd across her back from her left shoulder. Bow and arrows strapped across her back from her right shoulder. "Who are you?"
The brown ferret looked at her. "I am Gunner Rowsd Eldab." He turned to his side slowly and indicated two large scimitars across his back. "Scimitar Champion in Training..... Or, was in training.... Ow!" He moaned.
Starr asked, "What is it?"
"My leg.... It's injured!"
Sure enough, when Starr looked at his legs, one of them was slashed badly. Starr reached over and ripped a piece out of Gunner's already torn shirt, and wrapped the piece around his leg. "That is the best we can do; to stop the bleeding.
Gunner sat up. "Is something wrong? It's not that cold, you don't hafta keep the scarf like that forever! And besides, why is your voice so flat? Don't you have expressions?" The brown reached to grab Starr's scarf, just when she snatched his hand.
"Don't touch me." Her brown leather gloves squeezed his paw.
"Ok! Ok! I got the idea!! Owowow owww! Let go!" Gunner screamed.
Starr let go, and Gunner rubbed his aching paw. Starr looked up to the snowing sky and rested against a tree.Looking back in front of her, she never seemed to smile or change any expressions from her face; keeping it flat and expressionless.
Gunner scooted up to the tree next to her. "Starr, what's wrong?"
Starr did not move her head, but darted her eyes toards him. "Nothing." she answered.
"There's something qrong, Starr.... I can tell. Tell me."
"Fine." She closed her eyes and opened them again. Sighing, she explained, "I come from Highland, an island given it's name because of it's many mountains and hills. Ferrets, hares, and squirrels lived there.... One day, a vermin ship full of wolves, foxes, and vixens attacked Highland. They killed many beasts, and my father and mother tried to stop them. Hiding my brother, Krune, and I in a safe cellar, they battled the vermin. My father was killed before my eyes, and my mother retreated back to the cellar with us. For two days we hid there,muntil my mother tried to attack again and was killed....." She looked back up at the sky. "Then they left, leaving behind my brother sand I, and few other villagers. We rebuilt the house, and did not know a small vermin town was on the other side of the mountain. My brother, Krune, said he found out that they were going to inspect the rebuilt town because of strange sounds. Krune and I went to stop them..... Krune.. Krune, he was killed before my eyes like the rest of my family. I slew some of the vermin, until the rest went away in a ship. I came back to the new village and ordered the villagers to build a raft... 'Twas not safe there. We built one and sailed away, heading here. The raft broke apart, and I drifted away from the others, and landed here....."
Gunner placed a brown paw on Starr's shoulder. "I feel sorry for you..... Let me tell you what happened to me....."
