Taryn the mousemaid has a thirst for adventure - and an undisguised adoration for the aging hero of Redwall Abbey, Martin the Warrior. She wants to know everything about him; but the Warrior has secrets that not even his old friend Gonff can pry out of him. But when mysterious dreams reveal a dangerous new threat in the far north, things must be spoken of that have too long remained silent. Taryn and her friends follow the aging Warrior as he sets out on one final quest: to return to Noonvale and face the loss that has tormented him for so many seasons. Set after the events of Legend of Luke. Italicized text is largely taken from Martin the Warrior. [This piece is my way of paying tribute to the man who I will always say taught me how to write - to paint pictures with my words, as he always told us Readers Club members to do. Brian Jacques molded my childhood. Mossflower is my hiding place. Before there was Middle Earth (for me), before I found Narnia, before my train ride to Hogwarts... there was Redwall. And for that, I will be eternally grateful to that old man across the ocean who, with every book I opened, sat me on his knee like a grandfather and fed me sweet visions the like of which I will never read again. To you, Brian. With love. This story is also for my real grandfather, who moved on to be with Christ in January of 2015. His favorite old Appalachian song to sing to me was "Froggy Went A-Courtin'," which is sort of the rural grandchild of the old English ballad, "The Moste Strange Weddingge of Frogge and Mouse." It is this old ballad which I used as the basis for the song in the first chapter. I can still hear my grandfather's voice singing the Appalachian version to me on his porch. This story is about learning how to say goodbye. And it is so much easier for my characters to do that than it is for me.]

Swartt Sixclaw is on a side quest before declaring war on Salamandastron for his ultimate goal of killing Sunflash the Mace. Being a power-hungry warlord, he's seized the opportunity to meticulously overthrow a vermin city. Swartt remains oblivious to his son's survival and upbringing in Redwall, but he still has another child left of his kindred. The viciously vivacious Piroska, the only one able to continuously humble Swartt Sixclaw and live afterwards. She was born to Swartt and Bluefen as the younger twin of Veil. Piroska is his safest bet in overruling an already ferret-governed city, but she is reluctant. She may have not inherited the six-clawed feature from her father like her estranged twin brother had but she certainly shares the stubbornness trait just like them. Will Piroska let Swartt get his way?

Snowflower is a young white mouse who goes by Snow. She travels protecting herself with her sword which reads Hope is Power. When she is kidnapped by Slagar the Cruel, a fox that hides his face with a mask. She meets Matthias the warrior's son Mattimeo. She escaped and promised the prisoners to find Matthias and the others to save them. This is Snowflower's tale... Redwall belongs to Brian Jacques. The only character that belongs to me is Snowflower.

Just a little short story I wrote for a school project. Based on 'The Tales of Redwall' by Brian Jacques
