Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - Francis finishes and crow listens

“One more thing, Brother Parsifal,” Francis was matter-of-fact. “I want you to find the source of the anger that resulted in such an outrageous statement for a Brother to make.” “Francis, I was drunk and the talk that night was all about wasting Infidels. I just lost my center.” “Find out why?” * *... Sign in to see full entry.

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - Francis speaks with Parsifal

Sebastian overheard you say that you would just like a chance to kill an infidel. Is this what you said essentially?

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - Francis shares his concern

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - The next morning

It is very true that critters have different sleep patterns. Raccoon was up most of the night so he could sleep the next day. Robin was up at the crack of dawn, as was Crow.

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - The first day journeying

With all the Brothers lifting on the back corner of the wagon, there was very little problem removing the wheel and daubing grease on the axle.

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - The Journey is interrupted

Francis was not quite sure what to think of Parsifal. On the one hand he was extremely intelligent; but he was lazy.

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - The Journey Begins

“Friends, this journey will test our abilities to remain friends and allies. There will be times when the Brothers need our help. There will be times when we will need each others' help. And there may be times when it is every one for themselves. But, whatever happens, know this: you chose this... Sign in to see full entry.
