Chapter One
Gorath the Flame sat on a rock with his back turned to his beloved Salamandastron. They had just returned from their four season visit of Redwall Abbey, but they stayed an extension of two seasons. But on their trek back to Salamandastron, Gorath had caught a sickness, from where nobeast knows. The best healer at Salamandastron did not know what it was. And it was in the same condition everyday. Gorath let out a feeble cough. He heard pawsteps, then his daughter Rowanbloom was standing next to him. She offered a paw to let him up. "C'mon Dad, its tea inside and everybeast is wondering where you are," she said gently. Gorath got up. Rowanbloom was just slightly smaller than him. They walked into Mess Hall. The Long Patrol hares stopped eating, all saluted Gorath then went back to eating. A hare scurried forward, took his paw and lead him to his chair. "M'lord Gorath, come and have something t'eat," he said. He put bilberry scones with meadowcream and plum preserve on the table in front of Gorath. He got a beaker and filled it with elderberry and burdock cordial. Gorath patted his paw. "Thank you Captain Furps," he said, nodding his thanks. Captain Furps bowed and returned to his seat.
