Silverthunder struggled with all his might. It was two days after the failed attempt at ambush and, since the Badger Lord hadn't surrendered the mountain, Rottooth had decided it was time to get rid of his captive hare. While several of his soldiers held the hare steady, Rottooth drew his sword and prepared to slowly kill the young hare. "I'll make you beg to be killed swiftly," the stoat leader taunted. Raising his sword, he swung it toward the captive slowly, making sure it wouldn't hit a fatal spot.
"Eulaliaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!" The expected war cry rang through the air and Rottooth turned to face the mountain. He was surprised. Instead of the creatures of Salamandastron charging to the rescue, he saw no movement. Another cry challenged the army. "Reeeeeeeeedwaaaaaaaaaaall!!!!"
He whirled around in time to see a squirrelmaid release a stone from her sling. He ducked just in time; the stone whizzed overhead and killed the weasel holding Silverthunder. A half-grown badger thundered up the beach weilding a club, his massive strength reeking havoc among the vermin that got to close. The squirrel bounded past a stunned Rottooth and leapt at the two rats restraining the hare captive. "Reeeeedwaaaaaaaalll!!" The vermin soldiers took one look at her avenging face and fled.
Grabbing the dazed hare's paw, Mossyra hurtled past Sunsword shouting, "Got him! Let's go before the Bloodwrath overtakes you!" The three young beasts ran toward the distant dunes.
Silverthunder introduced himself to his rescuers and profusely thanked them. "By the way, chaps, when's dinner, wot wot?"
Mossyra whacked him playfully and pulled a wry face at Sunsword. "Told you he'd mention food as soon as we'd set up camp." Sunsword grinned in reply. "So, Silver, why didn't you mention a dream with us in yet? I saw you; didn't you see me?"
"Now that you mention it, I do recall such a dream. There was lots of scoff in it, so I didn't think it any different from the rest of my dreams." Silver ducked another whack from Mossyra. Sunsword sighed and said, "If you two are done killing each other, I'll make you dinner. We have to get to Redwall Abbey before any vermin do and seek saftey. I don't like it that two seperate armies are in Mossflower. It's just asking for a third." Mossyra nodded in agreement. "I'm not that tired, so I'll take first watch. Don't stay up two late, my little dibbuns!" Mossyra ducked the sticks that were thrown at her and started scanning the woodland for potential enemies.
She didn't see the eyes that watched unblinkingly as they waited for the invaders in their land to fall asleep.
