A Wanderer among us all

All the characters I create are mine! Got that, please do not take any of my names etc. This is my first fan fiction, up to date I have published one original fan fiction named "Forever Burning"



The young otter maid pranced cheerily along the beaten path as she sniffed the fresh autumn air. She smiled to herself, it was her very first day out in the world on her own. She had finally departed the great abbey and its comforting stone walls, a very hard decision for her for she loved everything about the place. Life for her at the abbey had always seemed not the right life. Salista had dreamt always of being a wanderer and living a life full of excitement and adventures that she would one day tell to her family and friends at Redwall some day when she would return and her heart would be heavy and her paws weary. The excited maid carried a rug sack full of provisions slung over her shoulder and she had a dagger tucked into her simple bet that had been tied around her tunic. She was that of dazzling beauty and strength. Thoughts drifted back to the abbey where Sartre, the abbey's champion, a wise squirrel had taught her the arts of combat by hand and knife. She had taken to it well, but abbess Magueris had always been forceful against the idea of the practice of weaponry in the peaceful abbey and the two friends had always trained outside of the abbey. Salista had begged of Sartre to accompany her during her wanderings but he had decided to be contrary to her idea for his duty was to maintain the well being of the creatures of Redwall. Salista had always assumed that finally being alone would depress her after having been surrounded by the most wonderful friends but strangely enough she felt light and could not be happier. She had traveled some couple days through Mossflower's vast forest in wonder as she was exposed to new surroundings with each step.

A start, not sure if it's a good one but a start all the same! Reviews are greatly appreciated. Hint, hint. Constructive criticism welcome but not to harsh please!
