I don't own Redwall.
Chapter 1:
Martin the Warrior of Redwall Abbey had just learned the story of his father, Luke, from Vurg, Beau, Denno, and Dulam, his father's old friends. Luke had died to rid the seas of a terrible evil, Vilu Daskar. Now that the story had ended, it was time to go back to Redwall. The only question was: "How?"
While Martin was letting the story sink in, the others gathered around to decide how to get back.
"It took us practically a whole season to get here." Trimp the Hedgehog said.
"Don't worry. I found an old map of the area." Log-a-log told her as he laid out the map.
"I know that place!" Gonff said pointing to the marking of a smoking mountain by the sea. "We've been there. Haven't we Dinny?"
"Aye. That we 'ave." Dinny the mole said.
"So we can either go South, meet up with the Dunehogs again, and then travel up that waterfall eastwardly; or we can travel East, meet up with Northfork river, and sail the rest of the way, and make new acquaintances." Log-a-log stated the options.
"Either way, we are still left trying to get the ship on land. And then there are vermin to look out for." Vurg stated.
"So the only big problem will be the Honeysuckle." Folgrim said. "Martin and I can handle any vermin who get in-between us and Redwall."
"Let's go east. We can show Martin off to more creatures that way." Gonff said.
"Alright. Even though we'll let you talk him into it." Trimp agreed. "But, that's uncharted territory." She said looking at the map.
"That's easy. If any creature is friendly, we'll tell them about Redwall and invite them to come if they ever want to. If they ain't, well, we'll let Martin and Folgrim deal with them." Gonff calmed her.
"What are you planning?" a voice came from the entrance.
Everyone turned to see the Warrior of Redwall standing there ready to leave that place.
"Just the route back matey." Gonff told him.
"Are you alright?" Trimp asked him.
"I'm fine. I just went to say goodbye to my father." Martin told her. "So, what route are we taking?" He asked walking over to the map and looked at it.
"We're going east so we don't have to worry about the waterfall." Log-a-log informed him.
"So, we're not only going home, we're going to explore new territory?" Martin asked.
"Just another adventure. Right mate?" Gonff said putting an arm around his best friend.
"I guess I should get used to it. Sounds like a good plan." Martin agreed.
"Great idea indeed wot wot." Beau the hare said. "When do we leave this rusty old ship?"
"Boi dawn on ee morrow at furst loight." Dinny told him.
The meeting broke up leaving everyone to decide ways how to transport the Honeysuckle on land.
