"Mata tikus muda itu tersentak terbuka, jernih dan cerah. Dia mengayunkan pedang kuno tinggi dan menabrak penambah raksasa. Dia menyerang Redwall! Dia menyerang kejahatan! Dia menyerang Martin! Dia memukul Log-a-Log dan tikus-tikusnya! Dia menyerang Guosim yang sudah mati! Dia memukul seperti yang diinginkan Metuselah! Dia menyerang Cluny the Scourge dan tirani! Dia menyerang ejekan Kapten Snow! Dia menyerang dunia cahaya dan kebebasan! Dia memukul sampai cakarnya sakit dan pedang jatuh dari mereka!"

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The young mouse's eyes snapped open, clear and bright. He swung the ancient sword high and struck at the giant adder. He struck for Redwall! He struck against evil! He struck for Martin! He struck for Log-a-Log and his shrews! He struck for dead Guosim! He struck as Methuselah would have wanted him to! He struck against Cluny the Scourge and tyranny! He struck out against Captain Snow's ridicule! He struck for the world of light and freedom! He struck until his paws ached and the sword fell from them!
