Author's note: You know everything already so I'm not repeating myself. The last chapter, yes! Next is Micah's Redwall story.

Malachai of Redwall

Extract from the writings of Samantha the hedgehog, Recorder of Redwall Abbey in Mossflower Country.

Planning the great wedding and feast for Leafpaw and Malachai was harder than any of us thought it would be, all the food and drink. The wedding was the grandest part it was done right after the great harvest we had. Leafpaw wore her usual smock, but we gave her a pretty bonnet with apples and pears on it. Malachai wore his odd stuff that he came here in; we made him wear a leaf crown so he didn't spoil the beauty of it all.

                The feast was glorious; I've never seen so many different cakes at once. Solarblade brought a cake from Salamandastron that looked like the mountain, made by Moonpaw and Jayme; it tasted lovely. Andy the cellarhog made a cordial called Andrew's Cordial, named after his brother that died in battle. Leafpaw made scone cakes; they were good until we realized that they had garlic in them. Malachai helped the moles make deeper'n ever pies, I think he likes them pies more than Leafpaw. The festivities went all the way past midnight; the Dibbuns were ever aloud to stay up that late.

                You're probably wondering why I'm the recorder and not the Abbess, I gave the title of Abbess to Leafpaw; she is young and wise. Malachai took up the job as being the warrior for Redwall. Matt and Jayme are wedded; they look so cute together. I'm so lazy, this stuff happened almost a season and a half ago.

                Here is something new; we're having a large dinner tonight for Leafpaw and Malachai. Leafpaw gave birth to a baby boy, he's an odd little fellow; he's a squirrel but he has no tail and he's going to have Malachai's head fur. His name is Swiftash; he is going to be a strong one. Specking of Swiftash, his parents just brought him outside for his first toddle in the sun. I'm going to go watch the new little Dibbun.

                Redwall's gates are always open to weary travelers, visitors, and friends. Feel free to stop by for a season. You are always welcome.
