Redwall: Vengeance

A tale of Redwall RoB_64
Prelude:

It was 2 months since the great war. Cluny the Scourge and his great horde had been slain, Redwallers and woodlanders everywhere celebrated the great victory.

It was a bright summer day, the sun high in the afternoon sky. Out in the meadows the bright green grass swayed back and fourth under the force of the breeze that rustled the leaves on the trees. The sun glistened off the abbey lake as Sam Squirrel and baby Mattimeo waded in the shallows, creating small ripples in their wake.

"A fine day isn't it, sir?" asked Matthias, as he and the Abbot walked through the orchard, watching the dibbuns run and play while eating the ripe berries, their faces stain with berry juice. "That it is Matthias, a fine day indeed."

The first few weeks after the war, brought much grief and sorrow to the Abbey dwellers. The burial of fallen warriors, healers, and Abbot Mortimer were very elaborate, and brought many, many tears. Many mice, squirrels, moles, and otters attended the funerals, and laid flowers a many down to rest at the graves of the late.

"Matthias, Abbot, come on! It's time for tea!" exclaimed Cornflower, as the Matthias and Methusela bells tolled out. "We will by right with you my dear!" said Matthias, as he and the Abbot continued walking. "Well make yourself snappy, Basil Stag Hare looks hungry, I'm 'fraid there will not be any food left if you don't hurry!" "Haha, oh no, well lets get a move on then eh Abbot?" "Yes, I hope that hare doesn't scoff it all before we get there, I know he would." Said the Abbot as the three walked, hand in hand to the great hall.

As the Abbey dwellers went at the great spread of food, little did they know not a days march away stood the son of Cluny the Scourge. "Redwall. the sound of it. I hate them, I hate them all! I will have my revenge!" he said.

Sleer the Scourge, forgotten son of Cluny the Scourge, and his great horde of vermin had entered Mossflower wood with one goal.

To destroy Redwall!
