Author Notes: Here is my first Redwall fic, and since I'm a big fan of
these books, it's about time I managed to get my lazy butt in front of my
computer and write this. Tell me what you think so far (I know the prologue
is short, but the chapters will be longer). Please r/r! =)
DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, I don't own Cluny or Redwall.they belong to Brian Jacques. Vega (and the plot) are mine.
Another Note: Vega is pronounced: Vay-gah.

Prologue: Cluny Lives *_*_*_*_*
The woodlanders and Redwallers alike had rejoiced at the defeat of Cluny the Scourge. Redwall was free from fear as was Mossflower. The victors had removed the former warlord's body from beneath the split halves of the Joseph bell and thrown it out of the abbey along with the corpses of the other vermin soldiers.
But the Scourge was not dead, not by a long shot. Though the great bell had nearly done him in, Cluny had survived. His natural vitality had served him well. However, this time it was not nearly enough.
The sea rat would have surely died had it not been for the healer fox Vega. The dog fox had stumbled across Cluny's broken body, and - surprised to find the rat still alive - treated him. Vega was quite shocked when he found out the identity of his rather odd patient. Cluny in turn was amazed that the fox had cured him without requesting any form of payment. So, the Scourge - well aware that he owed his rescuer his life - stayed in Mossflower with Vega, helping the healer when he needed it. One might even say the two of them became the best of friends. Of course, neither rat nor fox would ever admit to it.
That was two seasons ago. Now Cluny and Vega are at the bustling coastal town of Nel Rocka - located on the east side of Mossflower woods - looking for a job.
This is where our tale begins.
