It was a rainy morning in mossflower country Ryke was scouting ahead,trying to find thwildcats tracks eny luck the rain would't wash them away had walked a little ways
ahead before he found them were a little disfigured by the rain but otherwise distinguishable called but he heard no reply .he sighed,they must have lost his tracks in the rain likewise he
could not track he decided to just go to the abbey and they just meet up. picked up his bow and haversack and walked toward the general direction of redwall.
Drey and Riverwind were looking for there lost called his name but no awnser call finally decided to rest under a near by pine "do you think,he wen't to the abbey?"said
Riverwind "im' not sure" said Drey "it would't hurt to try" he said they picked up there things and walked ignorantly toward Ryke and the abbey.
Ryke,at last saw the famed Redwall abbey he was not quite there yet but the main abbey building showed like a great rose colored gardian
he broke into a run straight for the he finnaly reached the huge wooden doors of the abbey panting,he knocked on the doors a young mouse and a elderly
squirrel appeared in the doorway the mouse walked in front of the squirrel and drew a dagger "what d you wan't,vermin!" said the mouse "now,now, calm down ,Gand,"
said the squirrel "i am abbot thomas " said the squirrel "i'm Ryke" said the pine marten "come in won't you?" said the abbot,as he led Ryke into the abbey grounds
it was beautiful colored glass covered some of the windows of the abbey,there was a pond, and an orchard,he was in awe,the mouse stuck out his paw and said
"i'm Gand,it's nise to meet ya" said the mouse the marten shook his looked up to see the abbot was leading him down a staircase to a cozy looking room whith
a fire place and some tables and beckoned him to sit and took one himself "so,what brings you here young pine marten?"...
Ryke told him the whole story about the evil wildcat coming to conquer Redwall and the journy that he and his friends took to get here. "Hmmm" he said "were are these vermn now?"
"i don't know" he said the squirrel beckoned to a nearby otter, "Skipper" he said "yes?" skipper dregs said "go post some sentries on the walls,and report to me if you hear or see enything out of the ordinary"
he was supprised by how smoothly the abbot handled things, "are you hungry young Ryke?" the pine marten was reminded by his stomach growling "the abbot grined
"i take that as a yes" he said and led hm to the kitchens
