Maxtor's Last Adventure (A Direct Prequel to the Bolts of Chaos TP) Chapter 1

I feel like I since Maxtor used be a main character of mine, I didn't really give him much of a send off

Maxtor was involved in the Bloodclaw TP and then vanished, only appearing in Redwall briefly a few times. He ventured out on his own and traveled extensively. This is the story of his last season, and the adventures he took directly preceding the events of the Bolts of Chaos TP

Chapter 1: The Battle of Send Pt. 1

 Spring had cleared up much of the blistering cold that came with winter, but in Send Valley one can expect naught but snow and cold temperatures almost all year. Maxtor was used it all, and so he stood there in the graveyard, whispering a solemn prayer for the departed.

Here lies Silverfangs

Adopted Father of Zork and Oz

May he Rest in Peace

 Silverfangs had been dead for a few seasons now, and although his adopted grandfather never really got out much, he was devastated when he had heard the news of the fox's death. If only he would have been there, maybe he would still be alive. But he doubts it, from the letters Oz had sent him Muenster seemed to be a cruel, bloodthirsty and uncontrollable beast. It would have been best not to cross his path, he had done so before with Bloodclaw and nearly regretted it. Had it not been for friends like Silver, Oak, Jake and Pike and Flicktail, he would have been dead himself. But it didn't regret he actions, in his short life he had seen so much, fought so many battles.

  He had done so much and yet so much was to be done, he wanted to travel the world, but the world had so much in store. Perhaps he would soon, but for now he was content to rest in the inn after his long journey.

"Greetings, Maxtor" The Innkeeper smiled at him. "It's good to see you again, got Zork or Oz with you?"

"No, Iroh" Maxtor told him. "You know Oz is busy with his duties in Redwall and Zork....well my guess is he's busy bugging Oz"

"That Zork always did like picking on his brother" Iroh smiled, the old innkeeper gestured towards the back rooms. "Same room saved for ya, Maxtor"

Maxtor nodded and went to the room, it was just as he had left it last time he traveled to Send Valley, and after all those seasons it was good to have the room back, he slept on the comfortable cot and waited till Morning.

In the morning, Iroh waited with tea and Maxtor smiled and make his strangely likeable recipe of fried cherry scones. The two old friends had a nice conversation as dusk turned to dawn and the day began to pass.

"And then" Maxtor said. "Zee just fell asleep....again....like he always does"

"Yeah" Iroh said. "He does that"

Before the conversation could be finished however they were interrupted by a vole running into the room.

"Iroh, close the inn" he said. "And Maxtor, I need you to get the warriors.....the village is under attack!"
