The late-summer sun shone down on the dusty trail leading to Redwall. Two weary paws trudged slowly across the dirt and pebbles; kicking up clouds of sediments that stuck to the yellow footpaws and green robe. On each side of the trail, trees towered over the solitary mouse, but she continued undaunted for in the distance stood what she had sought for several seasons.
With each step she came closer and closer to her dream. All the tales her father had told her as a young mouse were true. Redwall was here in Mossflower and it was bigger than she imagined. The red stone walls shot up over the forest and were visible for some distance around, providing a comforting sight.
The mouse Dandelion paused to take in the entirety of the building. Her journey was over and a faint smile stretched across her normally stern visage. A warmth within her heart filled her with contentment and she continued down the path.
As she arrived at the magnificent gate into Redwall she called up to the ramparts.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
An excitement had been building within her and she was eager for a response.
