Beging
The ferret horde was surrounding Salamandastron. His beasts would have been in panic if the ferrets were indeed smart ones. Most of them couldn't even shoot an arrow 5 feet in the air. These ferrets were more skilled with blades, if anything. All the members of Salamandastron were calm, except for one.
Ragal Ruffalo Aldanick, Long Patrol General, was running around the halls panicking. He was usually the calmest of beasts at times like then, but he feared for his daughter. A few sunsets ago, she had been born, but awhile after that, his wife was slain by a poisoned arrow. The ferret that shot the arrow was the best shot and had been shooting shafts all his life, but he was slain by an axe blade, thrown by the Badger Lord, Lord Icepaw.
Ragal couldn't face the fact that the arrow was a once in a lifetime shot for anybeast in that horde and he worried for his daughter. He looked down to see that his unnamed daughter was nowhere in site. He ran all over the mountain searching.
The dibbun was in the kitchen, playing and siting next to the head cook, Weewo. Ragal came storming in, picked up Flashtail, and went to the lord's chamber.
All the other hares and Icepaw were shooting arrows at the ferrets. Ragal gave his daughter a long bad toned talk, or tried anyway. "Wot where ye doin'?" he shouted. "Ye could 'ave bin slain!"
The dibbun interrupted "Bud dabby, I was on'y payin' in de kitken, wot, an Weewo would 'ave saved me if'n I gots inta twoubble." Ragal gave her a mighty glare "You should learn not to interrupt your elders, bad form I say, bad form. Second," he was cut off once again by the Badger Lord.
A growl from Lord Icepaw told him it was time to be quiet. He was thinking of a way to escape the mountain when his daughter did a very smart thing. She jumped out the window. Ragal however, thought this was a foolish thing but infact, it was probably the best thing she could do. She landed on a ferret and sent him thudding, but as all the other ferrets looked down, she jumped out of the way and headed for Mossflower woods undetected.
It was Ragal who did the foolish thing, yet if not for him, there wouldn't be any adventure. He ran out of the main entrance yelling one word. "FLASHTAIL!"
Chapter 1
Ragal and Flashtail had been traveling in the woods for quite a few seasons. Flashtail was still a dibbun, but could talk better. Ever since that day Ragal ran out of the mountain yelling, the vermin had followed him and his daughter. Ragal could only think of one safe place to go. Redwall Abbey. The only problem was, not only did he not know the way, but also the path there was full of ferrets. Ragal had little Flashtail in his arms when he tripped on something and shot down to the ground.
"YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEOOOOUUUUCCCCHHHHHH!" he yelled. Of course the vermin heard him, but they weren't close enough to get to him before a burley looking hedgehog pulled them into a den. The vermin didn't see the hole they disappeared into, so they left.
When the vermin past, the three got to know each other. "Ye ole roight ye 'ares?" the hedgehog asked. "Oi be Diboc, finest sea cap'n fer yards around." Ragal was not the politest beast, but neither was Diboc. "That's whoi ye got dat funny accent, I'm Ragal an dis young 'un is Flashtail.
'Ey, do ya think we can stay wid ye for a while?" the Hedgehog thought about this. "Hmm, I don't know, I've got quite a family on me paws." Ragal laughed very hard at this comment. "Ye think family is a problem wid me? Troi liven wid dis liddle rogue, she'll slay yore liddle wife jus by tiring her out, right ya liddle ti... Flashtail?"
Flashtail was no where in site. Soon, there was a sound of a hogmaid, screaming with delight. "Oh, wot a cute likkle beastie you are!" Ragal was in too much pain to walk, so Diboc carried him. The hedgehog was a giant one, who had little Flashtail in her arms. "Oh, Diboc dear, did you bring home this likkle 'are?" Diboc blushed "
Er, yes Yelaley, dat liddle 'un be Flashtail." Ragal looked from Yelaley to Diboc. "You two are? I ne'er would 'ave guessed it?" Soon, four little hogbabes came crawling in. Yelaley looked at them. "All roight ye likkle slayers, straiten up, we've got company. Now, 'are, wot did ye say yer name was? Oh wait ye didn't. Anyway, dis big 'un be Prikkler, now is Hullie, our on'y daughter, den Firbo, an' last, Borgin. Now, where's dat new borne o' ours?"
Soon a little hogbabe came crawling in. Yelaley picked him up. "Dis young 'un be Oceiton, but we call'd him Ocei for short." The little dibbun spoke the only word he could say. "Oshi, Oshi oshi osh oi!" Ragal gave the babe a weird stare. "Ocei? Wot kinda name is dat, wot? An wots da liddle monster sayin'?"
Flashtail was older than all of the other dibbuns, but could still understand little Ocei. "He said dat 'ee's da stwongest beastie ever, bud 'ee woant 'urt ye if 'n ye bees noice to 'im, wot?" Ragal thought about this. "Well, you tell that babe that if'n he lays one of those dirty paws on my, oi'll make sure 'ee never does again." Oceiton and Flashtail became good friends and wandered off to the back of the den to play. Ragal noticed something about Ocei. "I say, is dat a badger tail on dat young 'un?"
