Chapter one
Somewhere far away from Redwall, across the Ocean to another land.
This land was a huge place, filled with many creatures and it was a perfect medival world.
This place in particular was a land in the far west such as, if the redwall country was representing England this place would represent North America.
The country was called Dromica, and the town which this story took place was called Featherdown.
At the north of the town was a huge castle, with many rooms and secret areas, and the Otter King who owned the land and castle was named King Dromicuse the 24th
Now the story begins.
The king had woken from his sleep, and was all sweaty like the same 3 nights before.
That dream...That horrid dream that won't go away!
It's been plaquing him, he can't sleep a wink witout that dream.
He got up from his bed and put on his robe.
He walked down the corridor and without looking where he was going he ran into a young squirrelad.
'Oops, pardon me mi'lord I didn't know where I was goin' I got lost and bumped into you, are you alright sir?'
'Yes Squire I understand... this is the 6th blunder this season you have to be more careful' the king sighed.
'Oh yes, I still don't know my way around the castle though, since I usually stay by the gates waiting orders for Sir Pietron.
The young squirrel was a clumsy Squire named Tofel who was assitant to The Hare knight Pietron.
He wished he was a knight someday, to protect the weak and poor from vermin attacks, Vermin have been around much lately these days.
The young lad ran off, hoping the king won't report to Pietron for that accident, apologising the whole time.
The king was still shooken by the dreams, 'The land being torn in half by a giant earthquake, lava coming out of the ground... creatures running in terror and a rat laughing.
A very evil rat whom he never encountered before, and wishing he never had to.'
But what did it all mean? a common rat couldn't have the power to tear apart the ground, it probably didn't mean anything but still... it scared him.
Sir Pietron the knight, was waiting for Tofel by the pond and he wasn't pleased.
'Ahem! Sah, you are late..'
'Sorry sir, I got lost again'
'How can you ever think of being a knight if you can't even find yer way through the bloomin' castle!?'
The young squirrel lowered his head in shame... 'tell me what to do and I will obey'
'You will come with me to the village, and help me find a carpet for her royal bedroom floor'
He was talking about The princess Kurdiea who was the kings daughter, she was very pretty, and her Hare pawmaiden whom Pietron had a crush on asked him to buy a carpet for the princesses chamber floor.
The two of them walked out toward the village, and the market was full of creatures walking back and forth, there was the Inn, the tavern, the baker, the Bookstore, the Carpet stand, and many other buildings.
'Now don't touch anything, you are a very clumsy squire'
They were looking at Carpets and very beautiful ones too, the Hare knight was hoping that Dietrey the Princesses Hare Pawmaiden might like it so much, she would ask him out on a date.
Tofel pointed at a green rug hoping it may catch Pietron's attention, *The squirrel liked green himself, he had a green tunic and a green hat as well*
'No no no... Tofel the princess likes purple, that is her favorite colour. This one will be sufficent, Now pay for it Tofel here is 6 gold'
'Can't you just pay for it?' Tofel asked.
'the first part of being a squire is Discipline, you will have to follow my orders without question and you will get in the habit.'
They took the rug back to the castle, and hoping it will please the princess. Not knowing there was someone watching them from the shadows.
