I was born and raised with my parents in a travelling band. There were about twenty of us, half of them dibbuns. We were all different creatures - mice, squirrels, even one sparrow! I was the youngest dibbun, little more than a baby.
One day, a band of Malffoxes attacked our camp. All were slain - or so they thought. The cook's boy, a dormouse named Nouva Treesquire, saved me by placing me up a tree. He placed me before he climbed up - he put his life before his own.
Nouva brought me up as his brother, several miles away in the woodlands. It wasn't until he caught a terrible disease and was lying dying that he told me the truth. He said my parents may still be alive in the Marlfox fortress. I buried him in the very tree he placed me in, all those years ago, and set off.
I never got there. I got caught by a band of vermin. They took me for a slve, despite my young seasons, because they were short on slaves. As I was so young, I became a personal slave for the leader. He chained me to his bedpost so I would never escape. I lived in near starvation, barely surviving.
One day, a hero mouse, named something-or-other that I forget, came and freed all the slaves and burnt down the huts of the vermin. Or should I say freed all the slaves he found? I was chained to the bedpost, and barely got out. My fur and tail were badly singed. I tried to run from the fire, but stumbled, and fell in the river. I floated, half-dead, into Mossflower, where a vermin ship hit me on the head. I swam, as much as I could, to the shore. There, Father Abbott found me, at the gates of the Dark Forest. He revived me, brought me to Redwall - there I now live.
Father Abbott alone knows my story. This is why he cares for me so. I hardly ever speak, unless I have a good reason. When I am old enough, I will once more set off to the Marlfox fortress, to free the slaves, and my parents. Father Abbott respects this, and will let nobeast stop me, when the time comes. If my parents have been killed by the Marlfoxes...I WILL AVENGE THEIR DEATHS!!!!!!!
