book 1, dark nights[]
Chapter 1, beware the sorcerer![]
Darkness fell on an old oak tree. Something strange was going on as it slowly opened. "Inkback, go check on them redwallers. Doriz, I believe we have company" As a fox exited, Doriz the vixen saw a searat. "Vot do yew want `ere, rat?" The searat, who's name was Chikkn, snarled at her. "Outta the way, bushtail! I need to see Slitt!" The vixen pursed her lips. "Vy yew vant to see `im?" Chikkn impatiently pushed her out of the way and walked into Brockhall. "Where is the traitor!?" Another vixen, Seblince, smiled. "`e ain't `ere, there's only Doriz, yew an' me" The rat's eye caught the gleam of a dagger as she drew it. He unsheathed his cutlass and pointed it threatingly at her. "Don't move a muscle, fox!" She smiled. "Oh, I won't, but she will" Chikkn turned around, but it was too late, Doriz had thrust the poisonned dagger into his back.
