Armel shrugged. I suppose so, Brother, but why do creatures have to fight? Demple picked Mudge up and placed him on his shoulder. Because there's always good and bad in the land, and goodbeasts have to protect their friends an' families from evil ones who want nothing but to conquer an' destroy.

Friar Hugo, old friend, brace yourself. I am the bearer of tragic news! Alarm spread across Hugo's pudgy features. Tell me, Jess. What dreadful thing has happened? Jess spoke haltingly in a broken voice. I fear that Cluny has tore up one of your oldest and most venerable dishrags. Alas, Redwall will never see it wipe another plate.

Don't be ashamed to weep 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.
