"Well this is certainly different." Alexis thinks to herself watching Hawbit letting Fiver, Pipkin, and Dandelion use jumping off his back to get over a log as part of their training as owlsa.

"They're fast." Hazel says.

"But Kehaar's a bit off his mark." Bigwig says as Kehaar screeches as he flies over Alexis, Bigwig, and Hazel.

"Ouch. I don't care how many times I hear him screech that still hurts my ears." Alexis says rubbing one of her ears.

"Now if that doesn't rattle the enemy I don't know what would." Bigwig says.

"Very impressive." Hazel says.

"It gets better." Bigwig says as Alexis and Hazel then get tackled by Fiver, Pipkin, Dandelion, and Hawkbit.

"Gotcha." Pipkin says as he sits on Hazel's stomach while Fiver is sitting on Alexis's back. Bigwig laughs as Pipkin and Fiver let Alexis and Hazel up.

"No need to murder them. Well done lads." Bigwig says.

"I'm getting better aren't I?" Fiver asks as he and Alexis start hopping off by themselves.

"Yes you are. Your getting as good as me." Alexis says causing Fiver to blush and laugh slightly.

"I don't think I'm near as good a fighter as you are but as long as I can help protect the warren and you I'm happy." Fiver says causing Alexis to blush slightly.

*Timeskip*

"You want to go back to Efrafa? Is your tail on straight Hazel?" Dandelion asks.

"I promised Primrose and Blackavar I'd get the out of there." Hazel says.

"You promised mate not me." Hawkbit says.

"That's why he's asking for volunteers thick ears." Bigwig says.

"I suppose it'll be a dangerous adventure." Pipkin says.

"I suppose it will Pipkin." Hazel says.

"Then I suppose you'll need me." Pipkin says raising his paw.

"Your not impressing anybody Dandelion." Hawkbit says as Dandelion raises his paw who is followed by Blackberry, Fiver, and Alexis.

"I'm going to regret this." Hawkbit says as he raises his paw.

*Timeskip*

"Right. Wide patrol gather around." Bigwig says.

"Always the same. Hurry up and wait. Can we go now?" Kehaar asks.

"We go now." Bigwig says as he, Alexis, Hazel, Blackberry, Fiver, Hawkbit, and Kehaar get going to Efrafa.

*Timeskip*

"Other side of woods. Old stone road. Follow me." Kehaar says as he lands on a stone fence with a hole in it.

"Yea be right with you as soon as I grow me self some wings." Hawkbit says.

"I can hear the iron road we're on the edge of Efrafa on your toes everyone." Bigwig says as he and everyone but Alexis, Hazel, and Fiver hop through the hole in the stone fence.

"No visions yet Fiver? It'd at least be nice to know if we're going to come through this alright." Hazel says.

"I cant see anything ahead of us. Just a grey mist of possibilities." Fiver says.

"Your a great help! When I really need to know the future you cant tell me!" Hazel says harshly.

"Hazel enough. You aren't the only one risking your life to free Primrose and Blackavar so don't take it out on Fiver." Alexis says stepping between Fiver and Hazel.

"I'm not Fiver I didn't mean it." Hazel says.

"I know. Your worried aren't you?" Fiver asks.

"Everyone's risking their lives for a promise I made." Hazel says.

"Being a leader means doing what you think is right then living with the consequences." Fiver says.

"Fiver's right Hazel. No matter what decision you make sometimes you can't always please everyone. I was a leader once too. I lead two friends and my adoptive parents. They always followed me even though I wasn't their leader but they followed me because I always did what I thought was right even when I knew their would be consequences. But my point is you have to live with the choices you make that's just a part of life." Alexis says.

"This trying to be right all the time gets tiring." Hazel says as he gets moving.

"I just hope were not walking into a giant trap." Fiver says.

"We'll just have to hope that luck is on our side." Alexis says as she and Fiver catch up to Hazel and the others.

*Timeskip*

"You'll be ok without me watching?" Kehaar asks as he is flying.

"We'll be fine. Meet you at the river Kehaar." Hazel says.

"Oh look at him. He's getting a bit big for his beak that gull." Bigwig says as they get moving.

"Fox over the tree. Move." Bigwig says smelling a fox. Everyone then jumps over a log before getting chased by a fox down to the river.

"Wait. We can hide behind it. The water should mask our scent. Quick." Hazel says finding a little hole in the rocks behind a little waterfall in the river. Everyone but Bigwig then gets in the opening behind the waterfall.

"Come on Bigwig. Plenty of room." Hazel says.

"What's he doing?" Alexis asks as she sees Bigwig take off being chased by the fox. The group then hear a scream.

"Bigwig." Hazel says as everyone then comes out of hiding as they hear something in the weeds and see Bigwig.

"Bigwig." Fiver says relieved to see Bigwig unharmed.

"We thought we'd lost you that time you old digger you." Hawkbit says as everyone goes over to Bigwig.

"Takes more than a fox and a couple Efrafan owlsa to bother me." Bigwig says.

"That was an idiotic risk!" Hazel says.

"What's tickling your ears?" Bigwig asks.

"Your no use to us if your dead!" Hazel says.

"And what was I suppose to do!? Let the fox find the rest of you huddling behind a waterfall!?" Bigwig asks hopping over to Hazel.

"He might not have found us." Hazel says.

"That's your trouble Hazel. You want the world safe and nice well the world isn't like that get used to it. Let's get on for Efrafa. Unless you think it's too dangerous." Bigwig says as everyone follows him.

*Timeskip*

"Kehaar you were supposed to meet us at the plank bridge." Hazel says as they spot Kehaar at a stone bridge eating fish.

"Plank bridge gone." Kehaar says.

"I know it's gone. We were waiting there for you." Hazel says.

"You here now. Cross this bridge." Kehaar says as Alexis and the other go up and cross the bridge before sniffing the ground.

"Efrafan patrol. Fresh scent. I'd say they just left. Oh I'll bet bob stones to peach nuts that Woundwort's got his patrols watching all the bridges." Bigwig says.

"So they'll be back soon. We have to rethink this raid." Hazel says as everyone goes under the stone bridge.

"We came to get Primrose and Blackavar. What's to think about?" Bigwig asks.

"Getting away in one piece." Hazel says.

"Hazel's got a point. Let's rethink it back home." Hawkbit says.

"I've had just about enough of you. I say we get it done. Now." Bigwig says.

"Alright say we do get them out and Woundwort sends him army after us." Hazel says.

"Then Kehaar does his hawk act. Keep them occupied. We run like mad back here." Bigwig says.

"Right and there's an Efrafan patrol blocking the bridge. Then what?" Hazel asks.

"Then we're trapped on this side of the river." Fiver says.

"All talk no action. I'll watch for the bridge patrol while hazel decides how fast we should run away." Bigwig says as he goes up to the bridge.

"Hazel come and look at this. I think I found our escape root." Blackberry says as she sits on a boat she found tie down.

"My Frith your right Blackberry." Fiver says.

"It's just like the plank." Blackberry says.

"Remember when Pipkin and I floated across the river. Well this is the same sort of thing." Fiver says.

"Is boat." Kehaar asks looking at the boat.

"Boat?" Hawkbit asks.

"Sure. Lots of them on big water. Some as big as whole city." Kehaar says.

"What's a city?" Hawkbit asks.

"With this boat waiting we wont need the bridge. Blackberry you are a wonder." Hazel says as he then heads up toward the bridge to tell Bigwig.

"Well done Blackberry." Alexis says.

"Efrafan patrol headed this way." Hazel whispers as he comes back under the bridge without Bigwig.

"Where's Bigwig?" Fiver whispers.

"He's gone." Hazel whispers.
