OOC:This is my bio/ish/thing an' its pretty long, leastaways what I've written so far.. Ahem.../OOC
Zyrian Iceblade trudged up the stairs, a horde of raucous Dibbuns trailing closely behind. " Doos us hafta go to bed, maister Zywen?" They asked, almost in tears. Zyrian chuckled as he herded the Dibbuns into their dorms. "Can oo teww us a stowy? Pweeeze?" they chorused. "Den us go abed!" they added. Zyrian laughed at their desperate attempts to stay up late. "Ok then likkle 'uns! But 'twon't be too long, though. Zyrian agreed. The Dibbuns shouted in glee. "Ok, ok. Here goes. Our story begins by the Northern Shores by Salamandastron. A very long time ago, there was a young weasel whose name was Firestone Iceblade. He lived with his father, Tyrin Iceblade, the leader of the Juska Clan. Not too much longer, Tyrin fell wounded in battle. This is where our story begins...
Firestone threw open the tent flaps to his father's tent. The old Seer Zri Lanka approached him with a solemn face. " Heed what I say, O Young One, thy father hath a deep wound to his chest. It is close to his heart. I'm afraid he-" She began. "ZRI!! SILENCE, YOU OLD FOOL!" Tyrin roared at the Seer. His voice softened as he cried out. " Firestone, is that you? Speak to me, my son. Speak to me!" Firestone called back. "Father, its me, I'm here!" Firestone jogged over to his Father's bed, where Tyrin lay moaning. As he approached, Tyrin grinned lopsidedly. "M-my son...listen to me.. you m-must take my...place as leader of the...clan." He whispered, moaning in pain. "Zri ! Get in here you worthless bit of jetsam!" He bellowed. Zri scrambled over, plowing Firestone over. "Y-yes, Milord?" She asked timidly. Tyrin rolled over on his side. " G-give the lad my... armour and... cloak." He growled at the hapless vixen. Zri Lanka dug through Tyrin' s closet until she found his purple and orange cloak and chain mail. She handed it to Firestone. "Good...well? Put it on... my son! I...want to.. see you...in my likeness." He gasped excitedly. Firestone donned the armour and cloak, swirling the beautiful fabric over his shoulders. He strapped Tyrin 's helmet, the silver one with the gold spike upon it, on his head. Tyrin grinned at him. "Good...good ..very nice...my son" He whispered as Firestone rotated slowly on the spot. Firestone held his father's hand as he began to quiver. Suddenly, Tyrin 's hand got ice cold. "Milord ?" Zri asked, concerned. 'Leave me, old one!" Firestone cried. Zri Lanka understood. As she left the tent, she could see tear's in the weasel's eyes. Tyrin the Great had died.
The next week, Firestone sat in his tent, pondering the fate of the clan. There had been rumors of a stirring rebellion. A soft knock on the tent flap jerked him into wakefulness. "Come in!" He snapped as Zri stepped inside. " Milord, more information about the Rebellion." She whispered, trembling under his wilting gaze. "State it, fool, or begone from my presence" he growled. Zri was taken aback. Could this be the same weasel that was just last week considered
a "young 'un"? Firestone must have noticed her pause for he shouted. "Well? TELL ME, YOU WORTHLESS, THICKSKULLED TOAD!!" He struck her a resounding blow across her back. Zri cowered. "Forgive me, Milord!" she whimpered. "I shall tell thee mine news!" Firestone set down his weapon. " Very well, Seer, what is it?" he asked. Zri kneeled in front of him. "Milord, I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with mine own eyes. A group of Rebels are planning to kill you, unless you find a decent Taggerung. They murdered a Loyalist Juska and tortured another! It was awful, Milord! They were-" Zri wailed. Firestone cut her off. "Shut your whining face, vixen! I know fair well what they did. A Loyalist messenger reported it to me!" he snapped bitterly, kicking the Seer. Zri' s eyes widened. "Y-you do, Milord? Then you must know who hath done this horrible act?" she asked wisely. Firestone shot her a poisonous look. "No, Seer, why? " he inquired. The Seer trembled. "Milord, 'twas Roanblade and Redpaw! They did it! They killed them!" She screamed, going into a seizure. "Get up, fool!" Firestone spat at the quivering vixen. "Listen to me, dunderhead, I want those two in my paws, alive!" He grabbed her by the front of her cloak. Understand?" The vixen nodded dumbly. Firestone set her on the ground and gave her a kick that sent her sprawling through the door. Firestone walked back to his desk, to think of what to do with the murderers.
