'Young Warriors' Quest'- A fanfiction by Rubii Firestorm

Summary: A vermin invasion at Salamandastron sends Martin the Warrior to ten Redwall youngsters with an urgent plea for help. When Rica, Danmar and their friends pit their wits against Lucar, High Lord of all Searats, their fates become inextricably linked with one other creature- Marsano, mighty Lord of Salamandastron!

Close your eyes, let your mind wing out,
Far from this Abbey dear.
Dream of our Warrior, of hearing his shout,
Ringing through the air so clear.
Imagine ten young ones, wand'ring far from home,
And a badger Lord not ready for his abode.
Keep those eyes closed, run with me still,
And think of those battles, the sound of the kill.
For seasons we fought, till Mossflow'r bled,
And covered five fields with the bodies of the dead.
Now poppies are springing,
From where our mates died,
More young ones are singing,
On through eventide.
Eventide…

Excerpt from 'Ballad of Dreams', an old Redwall folk song

Sing a song of Redwall,
Ten youngsters brave and bold,
Sing of Salamandastron,
And a badger Lord so cold,
Sing a song of battles fought, the mayhem that they bring,
Sing a song of legends fit for any of the kings!
