Sorry for the wait readers! School, and other interruptions kept this
chapter from coming out when I wanted it to. Might be a tad bit short. I
hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 23
Trytle was not having an easy time controlling the dibbuns. Some of them kept playing hide and seek throughout the abbey and Trytle's helpers were called away to either help in the kitchens or in the infirmary. Sighing a big sigh she finished tucking in the last of the dibbuns for bedtime, now she could do stuff by herself. She sat in Great Hall thinking about the badger warriors she had heard tale of since her childhood. Suddenly, she got an idea; maybe she too could become a badger warrior. Taking a long window pole, she went outside and mounted the steps for the North Wall.
Sharpclaw had come up with a few idea of his own. Gathering a small force together, he ordered them to scale the North Wall, where the least amount of resistance was located. Taking grapnels the small force awaited their signal to move out. Sharpclaw on the other claw was coming up with another plan to keep the abbey defenders attention diverted. Calling up his lieutenant, he told him of his plan to distract the abbey defenders. After telling his lieutenant of his plan, Sharpclaw went to talk with Mysteye.
Sister Elm wasn't having an easy time in the infirmary. There were too many casualties for her and her staff to handle. Some of the less severe injuries had to wait while the more life-threatening injuries were attended to first. Luckily no one got infection. Sister Elm and her staff would take catnaps when the opportunity presented itself, mainly between skirmishes. Sister Elm and her staff were tired and needed a break. She was in her nightgown and the relief staff was in the infirmary to take care of the wounded and possible when she happened to look out the window to see Trytle on the North Wall. Not thinking much about it she crawled into bed and fell asleep.
Sharpclaw had finally thought of a distraction and sent a small force to sling stones to keep the defenders awake and defending the front. Sharpclaw sent a runner to the force he sent earlier to tell them when to start; it was time. Throwing the grapnels up, they lodged in cracks in the stones and after a quick check to make sure they were in place, started their ascent to the top of the wall. Trytle however was unaware of the grapnels and kept walking along the wall with her window pole. The other North wall defenders were occupied with looking out into the distance and not so much attention to the ground immediately below the wall. The force was almost to the top of the wall, with one more movement, the first wave of vermin would be on the wall.
