Sunleaf stopped her story, somehow knowing that there were dark powers at
work somewhere nearby, and that it would affect the Abbey, for good or
evil. Jonathan and Sam looked up at her, looked at each other, and said in
unison, "Miz Sunleaf!" This snapped Sunleaf out of her trance, and as she
looked at their expectant faces, she realized she had no clue what she had
just been wondering about.
'Must be nothing.' She said to herself. "Now where was I?" she asked the two youngsters at her feet. "Oh yes. Martin was trying to find a way out of the pit with the electric eel at the bottom. All right." she restarted the story from the point where she left off.
Meanwhile, In Another Dimension
Garet and Isaac charged each other. Lifting his Swift Sword high, Garet used its unleash. Isaac dodged it, and cast Ragnarok again. Garet managed to dodge it, but he leaped straight into the path of another Ragnarok! It hit him, but he took it and rolled to the side, determined not to let Isaac see how much it hurt. Now that he could see Mia and Ivan were OK, Garet had to force himself to keep fighting.
Garet failed to notice Isaac raise his hand to his face and say 'Cure', but he did notice Isaac's momentary distraction as he looked toward Mia. Garet hesitated, and he lost his chance to end the fight without bloodshed.
Saturos and Menardi looked on the fight, and they could hardly keep from dancing about. "Well, what do you know! The old hag's powder actually worked!" exclaimed Saturos, forgetting for the moment to keep his voice down. "He's heard us!" exclaimed Menardi. "You IDIOT! Run!"
Ivan, hearing him, turned and ran after them, but he quickly lost them in the dense forest. Returning to the fight, he was surprised to find that the planet was quaking even when Isaac didn't summon 'Quake'. Garet's fires had got out of control, and Ivan realized that if something wasn't done, the fire would spread, and they would be doomed.
Without thinking, he cast Tornado, hoping the winds would fill the flames. But Tornado only made matters worse. It carried the flames into the forest and set more fires. Ivan cursed himself, realizing only Mia could stop this fire. But Mia had passed out from the intense heat and the smoke, he realized.
Ivan noticed that his friends were now facing each other, preparing for a last desperate charge. Ivan sensed the bloodlust that was on his friends, and he knew he had to stop it, no matter what. Ivan and Garet suddenly, without warning, began the charge. Ivan suddenly ran between his friends' charge hoping against hope that his death would stop their fighting. As the three friends met,
BOOM!!!
At Redwall Abbey, a story was interrupted by a huge sound, almost an explosion, the likes of which have never again been heard in Mossflower Woods.
Sunleaf, Jonathan, and Sam all jumped as the explosion rocked the ground. Sunleaf quickly gathered her wits about her and began issuing orders. "Jonathan! Run for the Abbot! Sam, you go for Foremole and Log-A-Log. I'll gather my bag of healing herbs in case anyone was hurt. Quickly now, RUN!" She shooed the young animals out the door, already gathering her herbs.
Sunleaf knew that there would be hurt animals out there, and it was just a matter of how many were hurt and how bad their wounds were. She finished gathering her healing herbs and left the gatehouse, knowing time was of the essence. [pic]
