Tsarmina stood in her usual position at the high chamber window, Cludd waiting dutifully at one side.

‘Spring vegetables aren’t much use, Cludd. Find out what the birds like to eat, and scatter some of it about. Set some traps and get the archers out. Fat woodpigeons, a juicy thrush or two – that’s the sort of thing we need.’

‘Yes, Milady, I’ll see to it right away.’ The weasel Captain trudged off obediently.

Tsarmina leaned farther out the window, scanning the wood fringe. ‘No, wait!’

A strange-looking fox emerged from the undergrowth, tugging two little hedgehogs along on a rope. It was plain to see he was in a hurry. Behind the trio, a band of otters and squirrels came dashing in pursuit. Looking backward at his pursuers, the fox tripped over the rope. The woodlanders dashed forward and pounced upon him.

Tsarmina shoved Cludd to the door. ‘Quick, quick. Get down there and grab the nearest troops. Help the fox. Hurry!’

The wildcat Queen raced back to the window yelling aloud, ‘Hold on, fox. We’re getting help out to you. Keep hold of those hedgehogs!’

The stranger put up what appeared to be a good fight. Unfortunately, he was outnumbered. One group of woodlanders kept him busy defending himself, while several squirrels slashed the rope from the captive hedgehogs, bearing them off into the trees, away into thick wooded Mossflower.

Late again! Tsarmina slammed her paw hard against the windowsill.

Down below, Cludd and a party of soldiers raced toward the melee. The woodlanders broke off the attack, vanishing like smoke into the undergrowth.
