The Dark Badger
Chapter 5
Swiftwind ran over to help his friend. Groaning in pain, she managed to feebly open her eyes. Tears in his eyes, he banged on the gate, "OPEN THE GATE!" Abbess Trimp opened the gate, and asked what had happened. After telling the terrible tale, they were confronted by Kantos and his rabble. Amazingly, none even reached for their weapons. Without a word, Kantos ordered his vermin to close the wall gate, and, with the Redwallers assistance, repair the wall gate Nightscar destroyed. After this had been done, they went inside Great Hall.
"Abbess…" Fwirl, who was now fully healed, questioned the Abbess, "Why do we allow Vermin to live here?" "Fwirl, Fwirl. I already told you. I cared for Kantos while he was a babe. He is welcome here: he has harmed no- one." The vermin in question had just entered the Great Hall. "Mother Abbess! Could you tell me the legend of Magia?" All the Redwallers assembled gasped. Magia was a legendary force; it was supposed to be around in the days of old; when Mossflower was three forests: Cont, Heran, and Jeka. It was that time when the cursed stone was placed inside a hilt, and that blade would spell Doom upon the world. Abbess Trimp had ancestors who passed on the tale, so she knew about it, and she started her tale.

There were many fearsome creatures in the world then: Flashbeast, Hanubera among others. The vermin and other creatures were nearly wiped out by the onslaught, and only a score and a half survived. The outcome of the world seemed grim, after the fifteen Dragons of lore were unleashed; half the world was destroyed in one hour. It was then that a miracle was to happen. Certain creatures were given a force named Magia by the ultimate fighter, Eleminfinity. This was a magical force, which made mice and vermin alike sprout wings, and gain magical powers to attempt to save the world. The tide of the battle changed when one of my ancestors destroyed Hanubera, and the monsters hid. We do not know where they are now. But the Infinity Dragon, last of the retreating monsters, created a hilt for a blade of singing death. He inserted a jewel, red like blood, smooth like a stone. We do not know what hilt this is.
~ Back to the present ~
"Magic?… Sprout wings…?… Dragons?" The hubbub of confused Redwallers continued to a din, before Abbess Trimp pounded the table. "Our guests…" She looked towards the vermin, "Kantos and Nightscar, I believe? Why did you come here?" Kantos told them that he wished to form an Alliance, and then he told them that the evil stone, was…
