The Hero of Redwall: Southsward

[AbbotAlf0805]

Davidari laughed, "I bet! Thats why im glad ima a male!"

[Rainshadow]

  Shadow rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Males!  They couldn't handle the pain."
  Jag had heard her comment and he laughed.  "No, males would be able to bear the pain.  Females just think they're the only 'uns that can stand the pain."  He winked at Davi.

[AbbotAlf0805]

Davi winked back saying, "Aye thats true."

[Leatho Shellhound]

"Well we best get going," said Muchlik

They walked and walked till they found the path that leads to Redwall Abbey. The sun was now at its highest point on a blue cloudless sky. Birds were singing and a slight breeze was blowing.

[Rainshadow]

  Chelonia looked at Muchlik, suddenly curious of his past.  "So, Muchlik," she began, "where are you from?  Do you have any family?"

[Leatho Shellhound]

"Well, in a nut shell I was born and raised in Noonvale, my father was chiften before me." said Muchlik "We should be near the abbey, do you think you could climb that tree over there to see?"

[Rainshadow]

  Chelonia nodded sharply, running over to the tree.  She scaled it quickly and peered out over the other treetops.  What she saw made her smile.  "I see it, Much!" she shouted.  "There's the bell tower!  We should be there by noon."
  She climbed down more carefully, jumping the last few feet only to collide with Muchlik.  "Oh!" she exclaimed, backing up.  "Sorry."

[Leatho Shellhound]

"Thats ok, as long as your not hurt," said Muchlik.

[Rainshadow]

  Chelonia gave a charming smile to Muchlik.  "Thanks," she said.  "Now, why don't we get going, so we can make it back to the Abbey?"
  She started running off, looking behind her at Muchlik.  "I'm going to beat you there!"

[AbbotAlf0805]

Davidari smiled as he watched them run off. "You know Shadow, I think i'm looking at my future sister-in-law."

[Rainshadow]

  Shadow turned to Davidari and arched an eyebrow.  "What do you mean?"
  Talon skipped alongside Jag, humming softly to himself.  Jag leaned down, looking at him.  "Wot are ye singin', liddle matey?"
  Talon shrugged.  "I dunno, sumthin' I made up."

[Leatho Shellhound]

  Chelonia gave a charming smile to Muchlik.  "Thanks," she said.  "Now, why don't we get going, so we can make it back to the Abbey?"
  She started running off, looking behind her at Muchlik.  "I'm going to beat you there!"

"No I'm faster," Said Muchlik running, and a cloud of dust behind him.

[Rainshadow]

  Chelonia tried to catch up to him, tripping over a stump.  She yelped in pain, rolling head over tail and coming to a screeching halt.  She lay there, groaning and clutching her footpaw.

[Leatho Shellhound]

Muchlik looking behind him saw chelonia on the path. Running back to her, he said in a worried voice "are you alright?" seeing as she had hurt her foot paw he picked her up and cared her to the abbey.

[Rainshadow]

  Chelonia felt heat rise to her cheeks.  She was being carried back to the Abbey?  She had hoped to walk there.  "Er, thanks, Much," she said, feeling quite embarrassed.
