Kyrin: Son of a Warrior
Hey guys! The Ghost Writer here with a new story! Seeing how there's a lack of Rakkety Tam stories here on FF I've decided to publish mine! Go easy haha I came up with this book years ago in 5th grade. Anyway, if you want, tell me what you think! Feedback is always welcome! And check out my FictionPress account under the same name! This is my take on the sequel to Rakkety Tam.
A/N I do not own Redwall. Brian Jacques does. RIP
This book is split into three parts:
Book 1 – The Outcast
Book 2 – The Quest
Book 3 – The Warrior
In times of dark, in times of light
Paths will cross when the time is right
A warlord of the Ice and Snow;
A warrior born but not realized,
Till the day of reckoning makes him so
So fly, my child, seek out the one
The thief, the rogue, the disgraced son
Will return one day, and take up the sword
Protect the young, the weak, the old
And bring back peace forevermore.

Prologue
Springtime! Oh, how I love the smells and sounds which come with the new season! It's been a long, cold winter, but thanks to the hard work of everybeast in our Abbey, we've piled up enough food to last us through the months. Ahh, I can smell the zesty scent of Burlop's Ten Seasons Ale wafting through the air. He's our Cellarhog, and all the Dibbuns love him, especially for his strawberry cordial. What was I going to say? Oh yes! Spring! There's been a very joyous mood here at the Abbey recently. Abbot Cyrus (he became our new Abbot three seasons ago, after old Abbot Humble left us after a long, happy life) has hinted at a splendid feast to celebrate the arrival of the fresh new promising season! You should come see for yourself. The entire Abbey is absolutely abuzz with this news! Never have I seen so much…vitality coursing through Redwall! After all these quiet months it's great to hear the joyous chuckles of the elders and the pitter-patter of little Dibbuns' paws hitting the ground as they chase each other across the Abbey lawns. My father, Rakkety Tam MacBurl, has promised to oversee the feast and make sure everything goes as planned. He's also promised to make sure Uncle Doogy Plumm doesn't eat everything up first! I've never seen everybeast so happy! Despite the fact that we're all hard at work, trying to make the perfect feast, there's lots of laughter ringing through the air. What more could I ask for? Ever since my father defeated Gulo the Savage about fifteen seasons back, our Abbey has been at peace. With all the laughter and friendship in the air, there's nothing to be afraid of. Redwall Abbey is truly the perfect place. Well, I'm running out of ink, and my mother, Sister Armel, is calling me to go check on Kyrin (he's my little brother. Urrgh! Sometimes I just can't stand him! He's a rightful little terror…) Anyway, until next time!

Official Recorder of Redwall Abbey
