(there may be a little bit or more interaction with paws so i wasnt quite sure if i would put it on pawplay or normal rpg, decided to post it here)
Mmmm, you might have heard tales of the great robin hood of nottingham forest and his merry men. A lot of many tales were made and told of his great feats and adventure's robing the rich to feed and give to the poor I also had my own tale but it is quite different, the thieves of sherwood forest a bunch of furry misfits of different shapes, sizes and species. It happened around back then in the 13th century. Unlike the other robin hood stories, there was no good king that ruled over the villages and suddenly he goes off to some place and his other brother takes over ruling and taxing, taxing and ruling, oh no. It was a great eagle with nasty mean talons and a sharp beak, anyone who would try to dethrone him or caus him trouble or annoyance would have their heads chopped off, not a pretty sight to see. Not much of the people liked him of corse, they could have gone off somewhere better but he had made a great border around the place and whoever wanted out had to pay a great deal of money. Thats were thieves came in, they were normally hated by everyone and would steal from anyone, that is until one of the well known thief, a fox named Villon Francios family revolted against one of the kings taxpayer who tried to collect from them a second time, the father was taken to the king and executed, this greatly angered Villon and he started rounding up theives, younge and old to help him revolt against the king and his taxes on the poor people of nottingham. Many agreed at once, a few reluctant or wanted no part for the king had a great army well equiped, how would a bunch of theives be able to fight a king and his army, Villon, smart and quick explained. "We are theives are we not? what do we do best? we steal, so what better way to start then to steal money from the rich and give to the poor?" the other thought for a bit then agreed with a cheer, with their abilities of stealth and speed, they were able to steal money while avoiding the kings guards. The people started supporting them and singing merry tunes of their successes. The king grew angry and started posting up big rewards for the capture of the thiefs, of corse no one wanted to do this. Eventually there were more guards posted around the towns and villages and it wasnt safe for the theives to live there, they hid and took refuge in a forest called sherwood. It wasn't so bad there they lived there like merry men singing and camping, Villon got married by the way with a beautiful vixen and had a daughter and son, sadly his wife died at the process, a couple months passed they both grew up to be a healthy and agile like their dad, but their dad on the other hand grew older and tired, it was obvious that one of them would later have to take over to lead the band of theives...but now it was time for their first raid on the kings taxpayers.
This is their story, along with some others...
Two foxes were on their knees by a bed in front of a very old looking fox, one blue and the other orange. The orange one spoke up after a few minutes of silence " dad, we will be off with the others to steal from the old fat taxpayer, he wont know what hit him" "yeah well make you proud" the blue one pipped up. The old fox smiled weakly looking at the them "I know you will heh, just be careful, take care of your brother though will you Pepper?" "yeah, yeah i will take care of Ice dont you worry" Pepper said with a grin putting Ice in a headlock giving him a nuggy "ow hay daaaady!" before there father could say another word Pepper giggled and released Ice taking his hand and pulling him out from the tent. The old fox chuckled and closed his eyes " good luck you two..."
... ...
"Get them dont let them escape!" Guards were shouting with their weapons drawn running after the small band of young thieves. "Into the forest hurry, we can loose them there!" Pepper shouted at the others, Pepper and Ice waited until all the others dissapeared into the forest, thankfully the guards were clad in armer and were slower , they ran towards the forest but then a loud snap was heard and a yelp from Ice, a hidden crude hunters trap had snared and closed around Ice's ankle "I-ice!" Pepper ran back for Ice but a theif had grabbed her holding her back, its to late, do you want to die to or what? " N-no! i promised dad id keep him safe" "no its over for him..."
