SummaryEdit

Official SynopsisEdit

As the slaves arrive at the ominous Badger Head and Bell rocks, Mattimeo bravely comforts them and promises "I will not fail us." At Redwall the Redwallers defend the tapestry in a pitched battle and recapture it. Simultaneously Matthias arrives at Loamhedge Abbey and meets an Old Rabbit who forecasts doom but gives him an amulet. Slagar craftily sets his henchrats against each other and prepares to take all the slave profits himself. While at Redwall Cornflower and Constance haunt the terrified birds with the 'ghost' of Martin-- in fact, his armour.

Nadaz, henchrat to the king of Malkariss appears silently and orders the slaves anaesthetized. Slagar's rats attack each other and in the chaos are captured by Matthias who demands they help him pursue Slagar-- but he already has the slaves deep underground in the evil kingdom. In front of the statue of a polecat he tells them this is where they will live and die.

It is journey's end and down here no hope of rescue.

Differences from MattimeoEdit

In the book, Scringe was a ferret and was the first to be slain in the slavers battle. In the series, he is a weasel and survives to be sent south by Matthias with the other weasels.
