Josi like any common warrior born has the courage and determination beyond
any normal beast. However, Josi is no guy but she is a girl. She is not
just Josifiona but try Princess Josifiona Barkley of Mossflower wood and
beyond.
I will tell you how she grew up as a warrior and how she won the battle of Mossflower. This is her story, well actually my story. I am Josi.
I was very young and had lots of friends: Fenrir (Fen), Mysti, Loki, Senna, Tim, Gonff, and Jalil. If you need to know I am a mouse. Fen is an orphaned mouse. Mysti, my cousin, is a mouse (as you have probably guessed), Loki is an otter but he loves to act as a squirrel, Senna is a squirrel and very talkative. Jalil is a mole but a very slow-on-foot strong-in-arm kind of mole. Tim, my brother is a Mouse Thief. He always steals my dessert. Gonff is a Mouse Thief too and is my brother's best friend.
Any way, where were we? Oh yeah. One day my friends and I were playing when we ran into a group of rats all plaid in black. "Is there a Martin Barkley here?" asked one of the rats. "What business do you have with my dad?" I asked. They looked at each other, smirked and strode past me as I were not even there.
Knowing exactly where my dad was, I ran to him the fastest way I knew. "Dad!" I gasped. "Hmm?" my dad looked up from the sword he was brandishing. "There……..are rats…………looking you!" were all the words I managed out of my mouth. My father looked down then up slowly and said, "I thought they would come soon, we have to leave NOW!" "We?" I asked. "Yes we, me and you," he answered. "Wh-what about Mom and Tim." I asked more desperate. "They'll be fine, you're mom knows," he replied. "where are we going?" I asked. "North Lands," said Martin. That was the last time I ever saw my family again. I was only ten.
Six years later.
It started out as another day with the sound of snores. Of course a good scout has to be an early riser. At which, I get up at five hours past midnight. I make my leave through a trap door that I made myself. It is a very well hidden door because it binds in with the ceiling. I would scout the forest for rats, weasels, foxes, stoats, well, any abnormal creature at that matter.
I came back around noon to the sound of irresponsibly rung bells by Beau (my father's friend). I would eat a small lunch and go deeper into the woods to my tree fort. It's a very sturdy house that's extremely hard to see on the ground. I started to scan around when I heard a voice. I went to see whom it was. To my surprise it was just a traveler.
I went back home for a quick dinner and left to look for more evil. By the time it was dark, I heard rats not far off. I ran to see what trail the rats were on. Then I went to the trail where I had seen the traveler. I ran up the trail away to see if I could find him. I did find him; asleep under a tree. "Psst, wake up," I hissed as I shook him. "huh? Aaaghhh!" he yelled as he jumped back. "It's ok, we've got to get out of here, rats." I said. He seemed to understand. I led him quietly to my tree but did not go up it. "So where are you from?" I asked. "Ever heard of Redwall?" he asked. "yes, I have. Do you know a guy named Fen?" I wondered. "Yes, I know him." The stranger said. "is he ok?" I asked. "yes, yes he is." Replied the stranger. "Uh, if you umm, go back can you tell him that umm, and old friend from the North Lands says 'lo." I asked hopefully. He looked at me with a strange glint in his eye and then said, "Fi?" "aye that's me." I said gloomily. He spoke to me with a laugh in his tone as he said, "Fi, I am Fen."
