Prologue: It Begins

Redwall, Late night, 10:00pm

It was late at night at the Abbey of Redwall when a sudden, loud, sharp knocking on the gates rang out, in the still of the dark night. Sister Sarah, a young Field Mouse, and one of the few that were still awake hurried from the great hall to the Abbey gates. At the time of the knock she and the Badger mother Dawn, the young mouse Abbot Matthew, and the old gray church Mouse Friar Stewart were setting discussing the annual Name Day Feast that they were having next week. She hurried from the great hall to the front gates and up the stairs onto the ramparts and peered over the wall, trying to see who was at the gate this late at night. "Who's there?" She called out into the echoing darkness. She could make out a figure outside, draped in a white robes with a long white beard trailing down the front of his robes. For some reason or another, she hurried down to open the gates despite not even knowing if he was hostile or not. Struggling with the heavy oaken gates she finally managed to push them open. The Traveler at the gate was an old mouse with a long white beard, a pure white staff, a belt going around his waist with a sheath containing a sword on it, and eyes that seemed to have a glint to them. "Come in And welcome to Redwall abbey" she said in a tired voice. "My Name is Mithrandir" he replied in a calm kind voice. "Are you a bard?" "A traveler?" She asked. "No Sarah" he said. "How did you know my name?" She asked in a startled voice. "I know many things," he said smiling. "Now will you please let me in" he said, his voice suddenly gained an urgent tone as he said "I must talk with your abbot immediately!" "Of course, follow me" she said as she started to lead him to the Great Hall.

"Now what I am about to tell you is very important, the lives of people from this world and others may be in danger" Mithrandir said. "Other worlds!" Matthew said with astonishment. "Yes their are many other worlds than this one." replied Mithrandir, "now listen I will tell you a Prophecy." "Evil is all around us but very few know of it, Demons have roamed the earth before and it almost lead to destruction of this world!" "But a group of nine people from different worlds managed to stopped them." "But the prophecy said that the real danger would come at a time thousands of years later, and the threat would be even bigger this time if they reach their goal, the destruction of all of creation; every single universe and Dimension will be destroyed and there will be a creation of a Hellish new one, with the summoner of the Demons as the ruler of this new one, that time has begun" he said closing his story. The Badger mother Dawn, Abbot Mathew, Friar Stewart and Sarah were stunned at what Mithrandir had just told them. Mithrandir than said, in an urgent voice, "It has begun, the prophesized battle for all creation will happen soon. And no man can say who will emerge the victor..."
