I was born into a small family in southern Mossflower. As a young hare, I was captured by a roving band of foxes, led by a self-proclaimed decedent of the Marlfoxes, Egur Dank. They traveled to the Western Sea, where the foxes stole a ship, but they were not sea-beasts, and knew nothing about sailing, so we shipwrecked on a small island, where a giant adder, Sayssiussss, ruled over a terrified population of field mice. Dank forced me into the serpent's cavewith a line of spears, where I found and killed the snake. Dank, however, closed up the the cave so I was sealed inside. I wandered the labyrinth for hours, searching for light. Fortunately, I found a small lizard, the serpent's slave, who was so thankful to the hare who had killed his harsh master that he led me out a back way. Once outside, I quickly freed the mice, but Dank and his band ambushed us. I fought bravely, but I was weak from lack of food, and was overwhelmed. I was put in a hut under close guard. But the lizard distracted the guard so I could get out. The lizard was captured and tortured and finally roasted over a fire. I, with thoughts of revenge, turned into an outlaw, wearing a black cloak and striking hard and fast, then disappearing. This went on for several months. Then one day, a ship the color of blood sailed into view. I saw this was my only chance to get back to Mossflower, so when it got dark, I climbed onto the ship and hid in the hold. For days, all I saw was barrels and sacks. Then one night, he heard the lookout call 'Land Ho!' I climbed into an empty barrel and slept. When dawn came, the ship was at anchor along the coast. But what really struck me was the volcano on the shore. It was huge! And smoke was billowing out of it. I had never seen anything like it in my life.
