Well I vowed to myself never to start a story and not finish it so here is the final chapter. Sorry for taking so long in writing this, I'm going to speed up next time :D

Disclaimer: I DON'T own Redwall (damn!)


"Martin."

"Rose."

Martin started in amazement. Memories of what had happened to Rose had always been with him but to suddenly find out that she was alive.

"Martin we thought you had died, you went south and when the Rambling Rosehip Players asked about you they were told you had died in a war against a wildcat.

"You know I have a feeling that Martin somehow might know these good creatures." Gonff said to the rest of the creatures from Redwall.

"Oi think you be right there." Dinny said, they were all confused. The mouse who had been sitting down came over and said in a quiet voice,

"I know your Martin's friends but he's just discovered that Rose is alive. I think he needs a moment alone with her." It slowly dawned on the others what the line "Look for the creature that has died." meant and they all left the room leaving Martin and Rose alone. Martin felt his legs start to buckle and soon he was sitting on the floor. Rose ran over and knelt down beside him.

"Martin. I'm so sorry I didn't come to find you but we heard you were killed and it was too much and…" tears started running down her face and Martin looked at her and smiled lightly

"It's not your fault… I was told you had died… I left… I wanted to see your grave but… something stopped me…" He blurted out. "But I was told you had died but your not dead so what happened?"

"When I was brought back to Noonvale Gauchee and Kastern discovered I was breathing very lightly. So Brome and mother took care of me, they decided not to tell anyone but my father I was alive in case I died, but by the time I woke up you had left and then… he came…"

"He?"

"Clog was still alive, he found someone called Tsarmina's army and they attacked us on the day of the celebration feast, a year after Badrang died. He poisoned the land and took over Noonvale. In the end we managed to defeat him by giving him food and drink that he himself had poisoned but it was too late for my father. Clog had already killed him. The Rambling Rosehip Players were here at that time, and they almost lost Gauchee, after that they stayed here. But we had heard you died, killed by a wildcat?"

"It's true, I was almost killed by a wildcat but Abbess Germaine saved my life. However I lost all my memories of this place until I heard Keyla and the others voices. What's worse is that the wildcat that took my memories was called Tsarmina. If we killed all of her army instead of letting them go then… maybe…"

"Martin it's okay. What's gone is gone. Besides Noonvale know has the future to face. We have no way of survival and we have to leave here. I don't know where we'll go but anywhere is better then dying here."

"I promise you we'll help but first I'd better go and tell my friends the truth about my past." Rose nodded.

Martin stood up and walked outside where he could see Brome and the other two talking to his friends. Gonff turned to face him and Martin could see pity in his eyes. That would mean his friend knew the truth. Martin walked over and was imminently surrounded by his friends telling them how sorry they where and how happy they all were for him at the same time that he found out that Rose was alive.

Later that night, after Martin and the rest of the Redwallers had told all of the Noovalers the story of the battle against Tsarmina, Martin stood up and told the Noovalers how they could help them.

"We have told you are story and you told us yours. Now we offer you a new life in Redwall. It's a long journey away, but if you chose to make it a new home awaits." As to be excepted the votes were all in favour of Redwall and the next day the long journey would began.

Martin woke up earlier then everybody else and crept outside. It didn't take him to long to find what he was looking for. Urran Voh's grave.

"I have to apologize. I didn't bring her home I know but I'm taking them all to a safer place. Be at peace evermore. Rose will live in my protection. She will want for nothing and none will ever harm her as long as I am living." He whispered to the grave before walking away. He knew that Rose, Brome and Aryah would come to say goodbye.

A season had passed since Martin and the others had left. Abbess Germaine had known that they had found the cause of the nightmare as a season ago the dream has stopped. The creature's cries in the night had stopped and sleep finally came to them again. She also knew that when they returned she would be the first to know the cause of the dream. As she rose from her bed she heard the sound of creatures up and went to investigate. Bella and many other creatures were all ready up and looked like they were preparing a feast.

"Bella what is all of this? We aren't having the autumn feast until the others return."

"I know this but they were seen yesterday coming towards the Abbey. They'll be here by evening so we thought we'd get a head start."

"I see old friend. Well we better get on if we want to finish before they arrive!"

The evening air was cold and the group of Noovalers and Redwallers had been travailing for a season before the familiar walls of Redwall stood before them. Ballow smiled before saying

"Wot hoy, is this jolly old Redwall? I think we should raise them with a song wot wot."

"Hairs are really all the same aren't they" Gonff whispered to Skipper and Amber who both tried not to laugh, "How about the song our two young otter maidens sung Tungro and Garraway in with? What was it called again… House Martin?" Kastern looked at them before explaining

"We wrote that song when we couldn't find Martin and Clogg had taken over. There was a message in it…"

"Martin come quickly to Noon vale!" Trimp finished off before explaining why she knew that.

"How about the song you used to sing the bees off Rose?" Pallum asked. Everyone agreed to that idea. Rose stepped forward and started to sing,

"You will find me at Noonvale on the side of a hill

When the summer is peaceful and high,

There where streamlets meander the valley is still,

Neath the blue of a calm cloudless sky.

Look for me at dawning when the earth is asleep.

Till each dewdrop is kissed by the day,

Neath the rowan and alder a vigil I'll keep,

Every moment that you are away.

The old earth gently turns as the seasons change slowly.

All the flowers and leaves born to wane.

Here my o'er the lea, like the wind soft and lowly.

Oh, please come back to Noonvale again."

The creatures of Redwall then opened the door to the travellers and Abbess Germaine walked out. Martin stepped forward and laid his sword on the ground.

"We have returned."

"I trust the maidens' plea was answered?"

"Yes and we return with the good creatures of Noonvale who have lost there home."

"All are welcome at Redwall. Come in, there is enough food for everyone."

The creatures then all entered and during the evening the story of Martin's past was told.

Maybe it was Rose's presence that helped Martin to decide to hang up his sword and grow old in peace. All the others knew was that he was finally happy that he had her back and the two grew old in peace together.
