Quest Twenty One was never completed...

One day Thistle was sitting in his room in Zoren castle when suddenly, the door opened. A female herbalist walked in.
"Hi!" she said
"hi" said Thistle
"Could you help me to go up the mountains and find this special herb that I need?" she said "I'm a herbalist"
"Hold on," said Thislte "you just broke in here and started talking and now you want me to go to the mountains with you?"
"well...yes" she said
"okay" said Thistle
They packed everything that they needed and left the castle. It was already dark, so they didn't get far before camping. They camped and awoke the next moring to find two foxes digging around in their stuff.
"HEY!!!" said Thistle "who do you think you are?!"
One of the foxes fell over once he heard Thistle's voice, the other just stood there, stiff as a board.
"HEY!!! GET BACK TO WORK!!!" a voice boomed from the trees The foxes groaned and went back to digging through Thistle and the herbalist's stuff.
A female rat walked out of the trees and over to Thistle. She pulled out her cutlass without a word and attacked Thistle. Thistle pulled out a sword. The rat lunged at him and he dodged and stabbed her in the side.
"OW!!!" screeched the rat as she fell to the ground "no fair!!"
"I wasn't even trying..." said Thistle
The two foxes stared out into space. The rat snapped and they fell to the ground in pain. Thistle kicked the rat and sent her rolling down a small hill. The foxes got up. The herbalist went over and examined the foxes.
"oh my..." she said "this is bad..."
"What is it?" said Thistle
"I'm not quite su-"
"It's mind control" interrupted the rat
Thistle looked at the rat.
"What's your name?" he said
"It's Addermaiden" she said
"That's a creepy name" said the herbalist
Thistle tied Addermaiden to a large wooden pole with chains.
"Let the foxes go,"said Thistle "and you're free"
"Okay..." said Addermaiden
Her eyes started to glow and then she started talking funny. Suddenly, the foxes fell over and then got back up.
"wha...Why am I here?!" demanded one
"YEAH!!" said the other
"You were being 'controlled' by this rat here" Said the herbalist
The foxes growled as Thistle let Addermaiden go. She ran up the mountain as fast as possible and escaped. The foxes started to run after her, but thistle stopped them.
"Maybe another time" he said
Foxes are usually considered evil, but these two had no evil at all in them. One had no shirt but had grey pants that went all the way to his feet and were torn up at the bottom, he had a green sash around his waist and in it he carried a saber, all his fur was white. The other had a crimson shirt on and grey pants that weren't all torn up at the bottom, he had a yellow sash and carried a spear, all his fur was black.
The spear and saber were magnificent weapons. The spear had a long handle made of bamboo and a sharp tip in the shape of a blue jay's head. The saber had a leather handle and the rest of the hilt was gold, the pummel was a purple gem, and the blade was silver and had a crystal embedded into it at the bottom.
Finally, the one holding a spear spoke. "I am Amberdrake, and this is my brother, Blizzard. We were trekking through this land in seek of adventure."
"Well," said Thistle "You've found it... will you join me on my quest to find a special herb that this herbalist needs?"
"Of course." said Blizzard
The four walked up the mountain together. They found a spot to camp and set up camp there. Thistle and Blizzard went to scout ahead.
They were walking up the mountain when suddenly, they heard a twig snap nearby.
"What was that?" said Thistle
"I dunno" said Blizzard
"Let's go see" said Thistle
They walked into a nearby bush and saw a very strange sight.
There was a weasel poking at the ground with his sword. He looked up at them and immediately charged at Blizzard.
"DIE!!!!!" he yelled
Thistle grabbed the weasel and threw him at a tree. He hit the tree, got up and jumped on Thistle, stabbing madly with his sword. Blizzard jumped and kicked him off Thistle, then threw his saber at him, the blade went right through his stomach and into a tree, pinning him there. He died. Blizzard took his saber out and let his limp form fall to the ground. They walked back to camp and then slept for the night after telling Amberdrake and the herbalist about what happened.
The next day they all set out and made it to the top of the mountain.
The herbalist spotted the herbs she was after and started taking some and putting them in a basket.
Suddenly, weasels and ferrets swarmed around Thistle and his party. Suddenly everyone broke out fighting. Blizzard slashed and stabbed with his saber, Amberdrake stood by the herbalist and stabbed anyone that came near with his spear. thistle stodd right in the middle of the battle, stabbing away with a sword he stole from one of the ferrets. The battle raged on all day.
Suddenly, the five weasels and six ferrets that were left stopped and stood together in a line. One ferret stepped forward and walked over to Blizzard.
"Hello puppy" he said
Blizzard growled and stabbed at the ferret who in turn dodged. then the ferret stabbed Blizzard in the back of the neck with a poisoned dagger.
"NOOOOOOO!!!" yelled Amberdrake as he stabbed his spear straight through the ferret.
The other five ferrets jumped on him and all but one got killed. He stepped back.
"Time to DIE, puppy!" he yelled as he dived onto Amberdrake and stabbed his lance straight through Amberdrake's heart.
Amberdrake stabbed back, killing the ferret along with him. Thistle yelled with rage and dived into the remaining five weasels. He killed three and then the other two ran for the herbalist. She pulled out three little knives and threw two of them. they hit their targets perfectly. The weasels fell to the ground with throwing knives stuck in their heads.
Thistle and the herbalist buried Amberdrake and Blizzard next to each other on the top of the mountain.
They put their weapons in the graves with them. Thistle and the herbalist returned to the castle happy to have the herbs, but sad that they lost two true friends.

Quest Twenty Three was never completed...

Knowing only one word in the unicorn language I set of to find a uni. I decided to take the woods route. I ducked in the forest and followed the trail for half a mile, then I heard some voices. Stealthily I crept toward them, leaving the path. I saw a bunch of vermin. I heard one say,
"Aw, what are we doing? Looking for some dump of a Unicorn. What use are they?"
A lank weasel came up and prodded him with a spear.
" Idiot!" the weasel, who I suspect was the leader, said,"If They find the Uni, She'll find were here and we don't want Her knowing!" I walked away. I sat on the path and thought.
Unicorn....Vermin....Zoren Castle.....News... Then I got it. The vermin hurt the Uni because she had seen them! And so had the other Uni but, he fled, so now they wanted to find him and kill him..... I started looking through trees weaving in and out blending here and there. I thought of the only word of the Unicorn language I knew palese. I heard footsteps, or it sounded like them, and I drew toward the edge of the path, longbow at ready. The steps stopped. I went on warily, but I didn't hear them. Then I decided to go west to the Unicorn Lake. I turned from my course and made a beeline for it. But, I heard the steps again, then, getting an insight I stopped and whispered," palese," I heard the step stop and I heard a faint,"palese?" I smiled. I turned around and said again "I palese" A male Unicorn very majestically stepped out."palese?" he said,"Good friend?" I did not expect that, but explained it all to him and he seemed to understand."Yes, I know of my lady, Saleria, is she not well?"he asked while I was riding on his back towards the Castle.
" Oh, Saleria is wounded but I think when she sees you she will be overjoyed and feeling much better." At his the Uni, whose name was Calerder as I found out, put on a extra burst of speed. I quickly stopped him and led him around the area where the vermin were. We galloped on and reached the castle in an hour. Saleria was content and the two exchanged a long conversation in their own tongue. But, the only word I caught was, of course, palese. Saleria soon recovered and her and Calerder went back to their home by Unicorn Lake. The vermin were caught unawares, and were thoroughly dispatched of during the night. So our castle has peace once more. For now, at least.

Quest Twenty Five was never completed

Starfur made one last check in her haversack. After checking, she tied it and with her sword strapped to her back, set off with her friend Ceren and Anara. Ceren was a male badger about Starfur's age. He had a saber. Anara was a female river otter who was very keen with herbs and had a wooden club.
Starfur had been asked to travel on a trail that led away from Zoren Castle because Zoren Castle had bought some horses from a nearby farmer. But the horses were a month and a half overdue!
"It's such a nice day!" Anara said as she picked some herbs.
"I sure is," Starfur agreed.
"Look!" Ceren exclaimed. "It's a cougar up there."
The mouse and otter looked ahead. Sure enough, they saw a cougar with a bag walking by the side of the path.
"Come on," Ceren said as he picked up his pace.
They soon caught up to the cougar. She stared at them with slightly gray eyes. One of her ears had been slitted.
"Hello," Anara greeted happily but carefully. "Where are y' headin'?"
"The same way you're goin'" the cougar growled.
The three friends exchanged glances.
"What's your name?" Starfur asked.
"Wot's you'res?"
"Well, I'm Starfur, this is Ceren, and this is Anara," Starfur explained.
"I'm Tailswipe," the cougar said.
"You're welcome to travel with us," Ceren said.
"Thanks," Tailswipe said, sticking a paw out. Ceren shook it.
When they neared a large field of boulders and rock, the sun was setting. Suddenly, Starfur saw something.
"Look!" she cried. "Some hedgehogs!"
They looked, and saw some hedgehogs lying dead among the boulders.
They quickly rushed over.
"This one's alive," Ceren called to his friends. He was crouched by a young strong-looking hedgehog.
"Anara, get your herbs!"
Anara rushed over, picking out some herbs.
She and Starfur knelt next to the hedgehog.
"What happened?" Starfur asked.
"Some foxes..." the hedgehog started. "They took the...the horses for Zoren Cas-" The hedgehog died before he could say his last word.
"So foxes stole the horses!" Starfur exclaimed. "Let's camp here for the night. There might be a slight chance that they might come back!"
That night, they all slept uncomfortably with Tailswipe on watch. Well, all except for Starfur. She lay awake, watching the shadows cast by the rocks.
Then, without warning, Tailswipe stood and slunk swiftly and silently away. Wondering what was happening, Starfur crept quietly after the cougar.
Suddenly, Tailswipe stopped and Starfur dashed just in time behind a rock.
Tailswipe slowly took off her face.
Tailswipe had been in disguise!!
Starfur watched as the cougar Tailswipe transformed into an unkown vixen.
When "Tailswipe" was a vixen again, she continued on. Starfur caustiously followed.
The vixen stopped in the mouth of a cave. She stepped in. There was a whispering in the cave.
Starfur slowly peeked in.
She saw the vixen standing at the head of ten foxes.
"Good job," she said to the foxes. "Now we can sell the horses you stole from those brainless hedgehogs. I even tricked a mousemaid, a otter, an' a badger into thinkin' I was a cougar!"
There was a laugh from the foxes.
"Now we cn' go an' kill em'!" The vixen said happily.
The foxes bared yellow fangs and brandished weapons of all sorts. Suddenly, a fox turned...and saw Starfur!
"Hey," he said. "Whose that mouse over there?"
"Attack!" the vixen screeched.
Starfur unsheathed her sword in despair. She'd never fought ten foxes alone before! She new that there was only one hope. If she yelled loud enough, then her friends just might be able to hear.
"CEREEEEN!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. "ANARAAAAA!"
Then, with only a drop of hope, she plunged into the foxes, slashing blindly. Then, she could hear her friends joining in.
They cutted, slashed, and banged madly.
Soon, they saw all the foxes were dead. Only the vixen remained. She was creeping out of the cave. She was just running away when Anara saw her.
"Stop!" She cried. She started to run after the vixen, but Ceren grabbed her.
"Maybe you'll see each other again. She's just a coward."

"Will you help me look for the thief who stole the missing blankets?" Starfur asked her two best friends, Ceren, a male badger, and Anara, a female otter.
Recently, some sheets and blankets had been missing. Starfur wanted to find the thief.
"Sure!" Anara and Ceren answered at the same time.
"Thanks! Let's start searching first," Starfur suggested.
So they searched Zoren Castle everywhere they could think of. Then, it was just the cellars. The three friends walked.
