And back up the hill? What had happened to our friends Southpaw, Dartpaw and Lancepaw? Read on to find out...
***************************************************************
Southpaw struggled and wrestled with the creature that clung to her with a vice like grip. Finally she managed to pin it down to the ground and sit on it, seeing that it was one of the tiresome painted ones. She turned and saw Dartpaw holding his attacker against a tree with his dagger at it's throat. Lancepaw was pummeling hers wih her footpaws amiably. The painted ones had certainly come off worse in the struggle. Suddenly Southpaw's vermin, named Gorsti, flung her off himself and lashed out with a cutlass he had kept concealed. It inflicted a large gash on her paw and in real anger the haremaid drew her dirk and charged, a familiar purple growing before her eyes. The foresaken vermin stood no chance and he soon lay dead with his severed head lying beside his body on the ground, blood oozing everywhere. Southpaw spat on the carcass and kicked it over the edge of the hill. Any fight left in the other painted ones left them and they cowered miserably aas Dartpaw and Lancepaw shoved them beside each other and looked at Southpaw in antonishment. They were as surprised as the vermin and even Southpaw herself had given herself a shock. The vermin shrunk down as she lifted a paw over them but instead of hitting them she pointed away to the bare plains of the western lands and cried out
"If you are not out of site by the time I count to five I will have no hesitation in killing you too" AT these words the wretched creatures scrambled to their feet
"One - two - three" but there was no need to count further for the evil duo were away like the wind, running for their lives. The three friends set off back to the castle, though before they left Dartpaw looked over the ridge of the hilltop and shuddered, seeing the carcass of the dead painted on sprawled out on some rocks. All the way back nobody said a word. Southpaw did not tell anyone, however her two friends could tell she was worrying. They did not know that Southpaw had a feeling that Gorsti's cutlass had been poisoned....
*************************************************************
Back at the castle the meeting got under way again. Dakkan leant against the wall, almost exactly in front of the holes were the clever dibbuns were peeping out from.
Soilflicker however had a terrible urge to sneeze again. She held her breath as long as possible but could not fight herself and gave in with a great "A-TISHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" which resounded round the room.
"Shtoopid know we've gotsa wun fo it!!" cried Tangle and began scrambling off down the passage. Fritz whispered reassuringly to his mmole friend
"Don wowwy, she don means it shem jus angwy"
However they were not fast enout for as soon as Dakkan heard it he pulled of the panel he was leaning against with a grea heave, guessing that something was going on behind it. He was not in time to catch Tangle who had made off down the passage, or even Soilflicker who had been just behind, but managed to reach out and grab two screaming dust coated figures. He replaced the panel then passed the creatures to Jessie Oakshade who rubbed them with a towel, revealing two very scared beasts - one of a haremaid and one of a mouse...
