*Prikleback had been thinking for a while about his life, what he had accomplished and where he had gone. However, just at this moment, he came upon the Terraluxian Scrolls. Brushing away an ant that sat on his piece of parchment, he began scribbling with his quill.*
The Account of Prikleback Longspike
I was born on an island far, far away from Terralux, called Sracana. On this island was a villainous king who had my father excuted long before his time. This tyrant forced the beasts of Sracana to work hard and never rest and live in perpetual poverty, merely for his own wealth! When I was of eight years, the time that the tyrant took children for his cadet school to train for the army, my mother tried to hide me and my brother, but to no avail. The army found me and my brother, slew my mother and took us to cadet school, where we lived for five years: the worst of my life. Eventually, however, we escaped when an assain wounded the tyrant fatally and all the guards rushed to his aid. We escaped in a small boat and set out to sea. However, we had foolishly forgotten to bring food and water, and so, we were dying of starvation when we came in sight of a beautiful green shore. However, both of us had fainted from hunger when we landed. I woke up in a comfortable bed, with a smiling otter taking care of me. My brother died, no matter what the otter family who had rescued us could do, and we buried him in a small grave, far away from home. I left that beautiful green island four years later. Suffice it to say that I was hungering for adventure. I sailed away in my small boat, with many supplies. After many days on the sea, I came to a huge mainland, where a great mountain rose above the shore. This was Salamandastron, where I spent many months happily with the hares and the Badger Lord. But soon, I left and went questing into the Northlands. There, I came upon a slaver named Ogalan Mangefur and his cronies. With the help of a trio of hares who had decided to stick with me, I overcame the slavers and killed Ogalan Mangefur. By now, I had my great axe. We kept marching north, until finally, we reached a town. However, in this town, the beasts were starving and had succumbed to....cannibalism. We left quickly, into the old mining shafts. However, the beasts chased us and we were forced to run. Two of the trio of hares were cut down ruthlessly, leaving only one, Hareton, my best friend. We escaped through an air shaft and climbed the cliff it opened onto. The poor starving beasts didn't catch up. After trekking for many days with low food, we came to a city, a wondorus city called the Porta Silva, and there Hareton and I parted ways. I became a crewmember on the Pineship and sailed with the first tide. We had many adventures for eight years, including the Tower of Mellan, where we landed on an island called Mellan, and helped kill a tyrant and destroy his symbol of power. After those eight years passed, we came to a great shore...that I recognized! Salamandastron was there, and we landed and the Pineship crew let me off, among many tearful farewells. I stayed at Salamadastron for a year, then trekked into Mossflower. There, I found Redwall, where I stayed happily for another year. That year, which is this year, I was 28. I left Redwall and came upon Terralux. So, here I am. However, I don't know how long I will stay here.
The End
*Prikleback put down the quill and rolled up the scroll. He put it with the others.*
