So, here follows my first new Redwall fanfic in a while. It will almost certainly be finished. I am only a few chapters into it, but I thought I'd post a teaser. Thanks to Salem for letting me bounce ideas off her. I will update you if asked, and concrit is much appreciated!

Spoilers follow for Legend of Luke and Martin the Warrior
