Warrior from the North

by Brightpath2

Martin the Warrior swore never to return to Noonvale after Rose's death. But Noonvale is under attack, Urran Voh is dead, and the creatures there desperately need a warrior. Grumm Trencher leaves Noonvale just in time to avoid capture, leaving his home to search for a legendary warrior, and arriving at Redwall Abbey on the day it is fully completed, to find an old friend waiting.

1. Prologue

I really probably shouldn't be posting a new fanfiction, but this has been on my mind forever.

I know there are a lot of fanfictions in which Martin sees someone from Noonvale, and some are amazing! But the one thing I hate, is that lots of people make Rose come back to life somehow.

I loved Rose too. And I wish she hadn't died.

But I really don't think that changing it in a fanfiction will completely make it better.

Anyways. In my story, Martin still has not relinquished his sword for the way of peace, the Abbey has just barely been completed, and Brome is now the leader of Noonvale ;)

Disclaimer: Brian Jacques was amazing, and I can never be as awesome as he was. So I can only be inspired by his work. :) These characters are all the property of him.

Prologue

An elderly mole wandered up the path, pausing every once in a while to catch his breath. He could remember the days when traveling like this was normal, but those days had been long past when he set off a season before.

And yet his speed was urgent.

He needed to find someone.

He'd heard rumors as he traveled farther South. Stories of a great battle with a Wildcat, of a mouse warrior from the North that saved an entire forest of creatures.

Of course, there were also the rumors that the warrior had been killed in the battle.

The mole prayed that those rumors bore no fruit.

Grumm sighed, and readjusted his cloak. Noonvale would suffer if he didn't bring their warrior back to them.

Noonvale was already suffering.

So Grumm continued onward through the night.

sorry it's so short, but the prologue's are never very long.

Which means the first chapter will be up in a couple of minutes XD

Anyways. If you like it, please review. If you criticize, make it constructive. And please, do not curse. I understand that some of you mean it as complimentary, but at the same time, it makes me feel bad.
