Title: Russel the Warrior: Chapter 1/Bitter Sweet
Redwaller Russel Squirrel hopped down from his watch station on the upper sandstone wall and hussled to the Great Hall where Abess Tansy was giving a speech. 'Further more, the other Redwallers on duty shall be given an oppertunity to prove themselves worthy of accepting Martin's sword-Russel? Aren't you supposed to be on duty?' Mother Abess turned to the red squirrel. 'We're under attack! Vermin have invaded our home! We must seek reinforcement from Skipper and his otters, and also Log-a-log!' Friar Bobb looked at the other gathered Elders and smiled at Russel. 'You have a great deal of leadership young one. My great-uncle once saw that in Matthias the Warrior, and Matthias saw that in Martin, who saw it in Michael. Come Russel, Old Michael might sense that in you.' Russel followed Friar Bobb to the upper dormotories. The red sqirrel stopped where the fat mouse ended up. The door on which they stopped at was painted pale blue, matching Russel's eyes. They knocked twice, and an answer came. 'Come in!' As the two entered, an aged squrriel rose of his bed. 'Why hello, Friar! And who is this young one? Wait a minute, don't tell me....Russel!' Russel jumped at the sound of his elder's words.'I know what you're thinking. You want to know how I knew your name. The secret is, Martin came to me last night.' Friar Bobb looked at him excitedly. 'He did?' 'Yes. He said that Russel would be the next great warrior in a time of need. However, he must prove himself worthy.' At that moment, Russel's father came in from guard duty. 'We need help! Someone get Log-a-log and the Guiosm. Get Skipper and the otters, I-I-' Russel jumped up from the bed. 'Dad!' Two arrows suddenly protruded from Jack Squirrel's chest. 'Ah-ahh....' He fell to the ground. 'Dad....those vermin...Michael! Tell me what I must do to prove myself!' The old squirrel patted the young one on the shoulder. 'You must go seek out the Guisom and the clan of Skipper's otters with only this.' Michael handed him a long samurai saber. 'This will work temporarily, untill you can claim Martin's sword. Go now, young one, heed these words: Always be patient, kind, and true! Go now! Avenge thy lost father!' As Russel exited the room, he gripped the saber's hilt more tightly. 'I will.'
