Heinrich has had it. This Abbey was the most ungrateful and most ignorant Abbey ever entered in! He was sick of beasts staring at him, he was sick of being blamed when things bad happened, He was sick of people turning their backs to him and his beasts. But most of all. He was sick of them calling his good beasts vermin! From where he sees it. THEY are the vermin! They had REAL vermin! The most noticeable one being a drunk, filthy and idiot otter peasant that threw javelins at him! Trying to KILL him! Don't they do anything about him? NO! He is free to get drunk and bully him and his beasts around! He had given up trying to find some belonging and peace here! He knew also that he would never find his sister and brother staying here either and these creatures would not help him in his search for them. It was time to leave! Before any of his twenty good beasts end up DEAD!
He and what was left of his beasts. Under the cover of night. Snuck out of their rooms. Grabbed whatever weapons and supplies they could get. Which in the case of Heinrich was his own weapons. His beasts? They grabbed knives from the kitchens. Two. Including Oliver. Were lucky enough to sneak up the walls and grab some bows and arrows. When they got whatever they could. They slowly opened one of the smaller gates and shut it and, making sure no one was about the wall or had heard the sounds. They sped off into the woods. Hopefully never coming back to this Bloodstone place they call Redwall Abbey...

A few of Herrick's crew was watching them from a distance. about six of them. Mainly searats but also stoats and weasels and a ferret. Noticing the Pure Ferret's sabre and javelin, the two stoat's bows and arrows, and the knives. a searat smiled grimly. Easy ter kill now and maybe if im'er lucky. I could get ter sabre while capt'ns not lookin' Better go back'n warn ther' capt'n.
The small party snuck away from the leaving group. Hopefully coming back with more numbers for a ambush and a looting...

Oliver, The stoat bowbeast. Had noticed movement. He spoke quietly to Heinrich "Prince Heinrich. I think those corsairs had found us. Either that or Redwallers." Heinrich almost panicked. They notice our leave already!? His mind screamed. He gave quiet orders quickly. "Hurry! We need to move! No marching and no walking! Run! We might have to most of the night!" Off they went. In full run through the woods. Heading east. Although it was dark. It was far too risky to use torches. They couldn't anyway. They never brung one or anything to light it with. Just anything as weapons or food supplies.

Somewhere in the east parts of the Woods. The place was alight with torches. The lit place also had tents and camp fires. It mainly had rats. But stoats, weasels, foxes, and ferrets also inhabit the camp. THIS was the camp of the Experienced and Mighty Doram Ripclaw! A huge Greatrat! With his powerful army of disciplined and experienced beasts. He had moved into Mossflower woods to look for the sons and daughters of the Pure Ferret King and Queen. Though he had been in constant clash with Barbarian Tribes and savages. He had largely no problems and had already started to get the lay of the land. Though it unfortunately to him was mostly wood.
The armored Greatrat sat next to the fire. Tearing a chunk out of a cooked bird and drinking a sip of wine. He wondered where Heinrich and his siblings where. He hoped nothing horrible happened to them. His loyalty was to the King and Queen and the Generations after them. He could NOT let them all die! He HAD to find them! And he would do so even if it kills him!

Heinrich almost tripped. But he manage to steady himself and keep running. He could no imagine him and his beasts running like this for the whole night. Already he was starting to feel tired. Now he was starting to have second thoughts about leaving the Abbey. Sure. He did it for the good of him and his own beasts. But out here there were corsairs, bandits, savages.... Barbarians had been sighted, He had heard of swamps that suck unlucky beasts under. Also about adders and other deadly reptiles and lets not forget tribes. But he could not go back now. He had even STOLEN bows and knives and food supplies from them in their escape! There was no way they would take him or his beasts back now. He also felt a peg of guilt on the thought of that mole abbess. She was the only kind creature there. He did not even want to imagine the look on her face! But his mind had forced him to and the guilt became even worse!
A few hours later. They could go no farther. Nobeast could now. They were too exhausted to go any father in a run. The pure ferret was about to collapse when he suddenly noticed a large light. Like light from a large fire. It could have meant two things. A Forest fire or a camp fire! But if it was a camp... was it safe?
The Pure Ferret told his group to be quiet as they very slowly started to walk toward the camp. Being as quiet as possible...

Before the Pure Ferret's group could react. Two dozen of the Greatrat's army jumped out of the brush around them with spears and arrows pointed at them. One of the beasts yelled that they caught some beasts.
Although most of the camp was now alerted. It the the Greatrat Doram and some of his captains that moved to see the captives. He suddenly noticed the Pure Ferret and was filled with the senses of joy and accomplishment. He had found one of the sons of the Pure Ferret King and Queen! Heinrich! Even better was he had a force of his own with him. Lightly armed and seemed to have lost their armor. But they were twenty of them nonetheless.
Doram dismissed his troops and walked up to the stunned Pure Ferret. Talking is a respectful voice. "Prince Heinrich. It's so great to see one of the royal family still alive and well. I had been looking for you and your sibling for days and nights.Though i failed in finding your brother and sister..." The Greatrat bowed down to the Ferret. His soldiers who had surprised him and his beasts did the same. The Greatrat continued. "My army is under your command now. Prince Heinrich."

Although at first. Heinrich was near frightened out of his wits at the surprise of Doram's soldiers. When he caught sight of the Greatrat. He felt suddenly safe and calm. This rat had served his mother and father long ago. He would never harm him. Never. Though he felt a peg of sadness when the rat told him he had not found his brother and sister. It was replaced with power and pride when the rat bowed and gave him command over his army. His father and his mother had commanded armies. He had never once in his life had command anything over ten or eighty. Now he control of an army of over a hundred!
The Pure Ferret drew his sabre and held it up into the air. The light of the fires causing the blade to have a slight shine. He spoke his words "I Prince Heinrich! Shall lead this army! I will find my Brother and Sister! Than i will rebuild the Pure Ferret Empire back to it's former glory!"
The whole army. Now knowing that as soon as a Pure Ferret was found. He would have command over the army. They cheered and yelled the ferret's name. "Heinrich! Heinrich! Heinrich!"
Heinrich was no longer a lost member of the Royal Family. Forced to look for help and aid. Now he was a Prince with a powerful army! Although he could not help but to think about Redwall Abbey and the Mole Abbess. Only one thought was in his head about the Abbess. "Do not worry Abbess. You may not see me ever again..."
