Compared to a lot of peoples stories, this might seem a bit uneventful, but here it is anyway.
I was born at Sapphire Waters drey, which is the only surviving colony of grey squirrels like myself that anyone has heard of, by a large, beautiful lake. The first thing I can remember is having the clan mark, a blue gem surrounded by wavy lines tattooed on my paw. My life was preatty uninteresting until I discovered the nearby village of Shady Brook, which was home to many different creatures, including, much to my surprise a water rat named Sceeve, a kindly creature who taught me how to fish and swim.
I had many friends at Shady Brook, Sceeve, Cherry the mouse, Gurraw and Tingler the mole twins, Barbwing the sparra, and Vanessa the barn owl. My parents disapproved and regularly forbade me to visit them. I ignored them of course.
But one summmer, I caught a strange fever. Several otherss at Sapphire waters caught the sickness too, but recovered. Unlike them I grew worse and no-one could find a cure. In desperation my parents took me to Mossflower where, it was said, there was an abbey of peaceful creatures who studied healing and moght be able to help.
At Redwall the mice cured me but it took a long time for me to recover strength, so we stayed all through winter and into the next spring.... eventually we decided to live here. We never went back to Sapphire Waters, and even if we did my parents believe that I caught the fever in Shady Brook and I would never be allowed to go there. I miss my old friends and hope they remember and miss me too.
