Drey,had finally gotten sight of Redwall,he quickly scurried down the spruce tree he was perched in "well" he said "I finally saw it we are almost there"

"well thats goo-" she stopped mid-sentence "Ew is that a worm?".She threw it through the air it landed whith a thunk

Drey sighed "lets just hurry to Redwall" They quickly hurried toward the unmistakable form of Redwall abbey

Ryke was sitting in his dormitory room bow and quiver were on the small side-table next to his he perked up as he heard a knock at the door.

He perked up,rubbing the sleep from his eyes he walked to the door and opened it,the face of a beautiful squirrel maid greeted him.

"oh,i'm sorry did i wake you?" she said whith a sweet voice "no i was about to get up" Ryke said with a yawn

"well,the abbot was wondering if you,me,him and Gand wanted to have lunch on the battlements?"

"oh,sure Honeyberry,just lemme grab somethin"

"ok,just meet us up there when your done"

he grabed his bow and quiver,unsure why but he just felt that he needed it,he quickly ran out of the abbey building and up to the battlements of the abbey

walls.

Shar was ready to attack redwall,he was wearing a dark forest green tunic whith a layer of chainmail under,he also sported a short grey cloak and carried a broad sword

he looked as his soldiers mobilized toward the abbey,he smiled as he watched them move through the Gaz walked up to him and bowed

"sir,we should be at the abbey in an hour or so" the wild cat nodded "Gaz,lead the horde to the abbey i will be there in a moment"

"yes sir" he said and ran to the front of the ranks and they marched off toward Redwall

At the abbey,Ryke sat with Honeyberry,Gand,and abbot thomas on the wall tops eating scones whith honey,blueberry crumble,cherry cordial,and they all shared a big

celery and carrot pastie,as Ryke chewed a bite of crumble, "Ryke,why did you bring your bow?" asked gand

"i just figured i needed it" said Ryke "oh" said Gand as he took a bite of took a dainty sip of cordial and burped softly

Ryke looked up supprised "Well,not the lady i thought you were".The young female squirrel blushed "wait did you hear that?"

said Gand "it sounds like marching?" Ryke got his bow and quiver as he heard a fient cry "Attention abbey dwellers!" a fierce cry rang out they all looked to

see a ferret "who are you?" asked Gand "that is none of your concern,mouse"

Ryke aimed his bow on the ferret,just then a huge wildcat carrying a broad sword walked up to the front

"i am Shar the warlord,ruler of the isle of kaive,i have come to conquer your abbey,surrender now and your deaths will be painless"

Ryke shot the arrow and it took the wildcat in his side "let that be a warning,cat!" said the pine marten

"leave now warlord,many beast have tried to rule us and they are all in hell gates" said abbot thomas

"Have it your way ,mouse," he ripped the Ryke's arrow and winced "but we will have your abbey you are officially under siege!"

said Shar

"abbot" said Ryke "we need to have otters patroling in mossflower "

"good idea my son"...
