This piece of writing will be the tenth chapter to 'an otter maids tale'. like I said in my last chapter, the story will get a bit more violent in progression, but you know not all stories can be as light as daisies wot!
UPDATE: from now on there will be new characters in the story coming in next chapter, and if any of you want a character in this story please tell me in a review. I'm always looking for unique characters.
Disclaimer: I do not own redwall or any of its inhabitants…..(looks up from script and looks at his editor) howz that!(editor gives Grubswiper a thumbs up).
(Chapter ten)
The hot morning sun found the backs of three fresh slaves working in the mud with other slaves. The tyrant weasel Blackfang, for the last season, had been building a fortress. Taking full advantage of the forty slaves he captured, which were manly hedgehogs with some otters, Blackfang had worked them hard from dawn to dusk. The fortress he was making was made of maple and oak wood mud making the building airtight.
Halden was working alongside Earthpaw and another hedgehog like himself, big and sturdy built with an ear missing.
"Hurr, 'ow weem goin to git oot of this maister Halden?" Earthpaw groaned.
Suddenly a whip came from nowhere a struck Earthpaw hard on the back. Earthpaw screamed in pain, never being hurt before in his life before.
Meeky had an evil grin on his face as he brandished the whillo whip.
"shut yore face moler. You are slaves to the mighty chief dark fang. I'm luck I got yous last night, im a slave driver now, you know promotion!"
The weasel cackled in delight and strode off, brandishing his whip fondly.
"ungrateful vermin!" halden muttered under his breath.
"och! Doont thank mooch aboot him laddie, his is coomin soon!"
Halden turned to look at the hedgehog beside him, completely surprised of his northern accent.
"what do you mean?"
The rough hedgehog gave a wink to halden as he passed him a wooden plan for part of the wall.
"ah'll shoow ye in thy slave barrackes laddie buck." the hedgehog said with a grin.
(Mossflower wood)
The same time Halden was talking to the hedgehog, Quicktail and Streamtail were marching through the woods for another attack. As they walked both leaders conversed.
"we need to split up our forces this time we need to split up and snipe off any body who shows their face."
"I agree with ye matey. Darkhide has too many vermin at his will and will wipe us out.
"then you take the left side and ill take the- look out!"
An arrow came zipping out from nowhere and grazed the squirrels cheek just as he moved.
"take cover mates" Streamtail roared as he loaded his sling. "ambush!"
The forty some odd resistance fighters ran like the wind, in a general direction of the holt. The squirrels took to the tress and the otter dove in a nearby stream, leaving behind 8 dead comrades.
And just as fast it had came it stopped and Darkhide's forces were cheering with triumph. Darkhide himself strode in the middle of the ambush site, a smirk on his evil face. He had thought before hand that the woodlanders would do an immediate after attack. Now that they were off licking their wounds he could move the new troops he had recruited, a band of three score vermin with the leader dead. He had also sent out recruiters in all cardinal direction to swell his hoard.
Darkhide summund one of his captains.
"yer 'highness?"
"What are the numbers Screal."
"Eight of them dead, and only one of ours wounded, twas a good scheme yer 'ighness !"
"Good good, we might do this again eh Screal?"
"Ah chief, that would be a grand pleasure say I."
Darkhide smiled then started to work back to his fortress. 'There was no lord' he thought to himself 'that is smarter than me.'
He allowed himself a smirk, it's good to be a warlord.
