Description

Martin the Warrior is one Redwall character I feel so sorry for.
Anyone who has read Martin the Warrior will now what I mean. For those who haven’t, I can reveal this much. The mousemaid, Laterose, was the only mouse he ever loved. Tragically, when she went to fight in battle alongside of him, she was herself slain. Martin never really got over it. He even lived out his seasons as a confirmed bachelor. :cry:

I was aiming at some symbolism here: the wilted rose, representing the late Laterose - his father’s sword, which he fought to regain from his enemy, a cold replacement for his girl.
And so, the Warrior must travel his next road alone… :lonely:

In the history of literature, Rose's death will always be remembered. Not only is this considered to be the saddest book in all of redwall, but many people including myself say it's the only book that's ever made them cry.
