Now for my first ever Redwall fic. Hopefully, this one will be popular, although even if it isn't, I intend to finish it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Redwall, but I do own virtually every character in this fanfic, except for those characters mentioned when the characters talk about the past.

It was a stormy night, and the Vittack army was setting up camp.
"Wha' do yew think the boss is planning?" a stoat that was by the fire situated in the middle of the camp asked a fox wearing a cloak seated nearby.
"Hmph, it's none of our concern." the fox, who was wearing a cloak, sneered as he got up. His fur was pitch black, except for milky white fur that stretched from the underside of his jaw all the wat to his stomach. He also bore a scar on his cheek from a battle against three hares, as well as various other scars along his body His tail had a red tip to it.
"You're right there, Zero." another fox said arrogantly as he left King Vesto's tent. he was wearing numerous jewelrey all over his body, so it was a wonder why his movements were so quiet. He was dressed in a simple toga.
Just then, a stoat came running up. "I have a message for King Vesto!" he announced breathlessly.
"What is it?" King Vesto says irritably. He was a large weasel, about one and a half times bigger than a normal weasel, and he was holding his greatsword. His only article of clothing was a short kilt, and his body was covered in scars from many battles. It wasn't for nothing that he was the most feared fighter in the southlands.
"Captain Velus has spotted the castle that you heard about, and is awaiting further orders." the stoat reported.
"Good, have him scout the terrain a bit." King Vesto ordered.
"Yes chief!" the stoat says, saluting before running back across the grasslands towards the castle. The grass was slick because of the rain, but he didn't let that stop him. Soon, he was just a speck in the distance.
"Come, Zelus, we have planning to do if Castle Vempiur is to fall." King vesto said gruffly as he returned to his tent.
"Yes, much planning." Zelus, who was the fox with all the jewelry, said as he followed King Vesto into his tent. Zelus was the tactician of the horde, and he also happened to be a genius.

Meanwhile, deeper in that same forest...
"Melna, where are we going?" an otter asked his squirrel friend in an irritated tone as yet another branch pushed back by Melna whacked him in the face. He wore only a simple shirt, and his only weapon was a short dagger. He was also the one in charge of protecting Melna, who besides being his best friend, was also the princess of Castle Vempiur.
"We're going to this great cave." Melna chittered excitedly as she traveled through the forest. It was a bit dense by this point, and progress was slow. She was wearing a simple dress.
This wasn't the first time that Melna had sneaked out of the castle with her friend Veiga. She loved to explore, and sneaked out often. Most of the time she got caught when she came back to the castle and got into trouble for leaving the castle.
"You mean Crystal Cave?" the otter asked, rolling his eyes as he followed his friend. He knew about the Crystal Cave. It was called that because of all the crystals in there.
It was then that he felt it. A smashing blow to the back of his skull.

Meanwhile, back at the castle...
"Sire! Melna has sneaked out again!" a young squirrel yells out worriedly as he races up the stairs to the throne room.
"She has?" King Tilvan asks worriedly. "This isn't good, especially with the Guosaw in the area. I hope she'll be okay."
"Yes, they've been a thorn in our side for seasons." Queen Ashley agrees worriedly. "I hope Velvone is with her."
"He probably is. He never leaves her side." King Tilvan says comfortingly as he holds Queen Ashley's paw.
