Henry trudged along the forest path... Light spilled in through the tree’s of the Mossflower... He had heard tales of this place... a lot of history was involved around here, He planned to visit Redwall Abbey, see how much services he could offer before heading off towards Salamanderstorm.
He raised his water skin to his lips and took a gulp.... nearly out. Well he had been hearing a creek for over an hour now so there was water somewhere... He shock his spikes then continued down the track. He wondered down the path somewhat further, and saw the creek through the tree’s smiling he approached it, Henry bent over the river and placed the water skin in the water... that was when he heard it... “Shhh, he can’t see us.”
He stopped confused and looked across the creek looking for the source of the noise, at first he saw nothing then slowly he saw a well hidden mouse in the bushes, “Hello?”
There was no reply from the mouse...
“I can see you...”
The mouse’s face went to a frightened look, “He can see me!”
“Yes... Yes, it’s alright,” A mouse came out from another bush, “Sorry about my friend, we just had a run in with a few of the nastier creatures of Mossflower”
Henry was still bewildered, “Nastier creatures?”
“Yes every place has it’s fair share...”
Now both mice were out.
“Is Redwall around here?”
“Yes that’s where we are going!” shouted the mouse he initially saw.
“He can hear you Morris”
“Sorry Dad....”
Henry smiled, “Well I’m heading to Redwall as well... would you like some company?”
