Ethias
Prologue
Hello there everyone I am John Churchmouse recorder of Redwall Abbey. If this is your first time here that's ok because I am telling you a story today. Everything at Redwall here is peaceful, but when everything gets out of hand we become fearsome warriors or most of us do. We have fought mighty ones like Cluny the Scourge and Slager the Cruel, but this is a story that was told of a couple of seasons ago. He was an orphaned mouse and the reason why is because he was gifted with something that is beautifully remarkable, but they thought was dangerous. His name is Ethias and he has that gift. He had a mother, a father, two sisters, and a brother who he really despised.
His family saw what he was gifted with and knew that they couldn't do anything about it. They left him at his village with everyone else who knew of his gift and didn't care about it. The only one that cared for it was a very pretty, young mousemaid. She didn't mind of it that much and thought that it was the best gift she thought anybeast ever received.
But when his family left him they took a sword with them. It was the family sword that was very valuable and was made by their ancestors, the spirit ones. That is what the story is about and I will tell it to you right away so don't leave or your missing out.
It was a very cold winter…
