Panel 1 - Amidst the towering trees of the Borderlands, a sunlit clearing. Two squadrons face each other across the clearing: one, the Mouse Guard, led at the front by SAXON and KENZIE; the other, armoured mice, more numerous, but a green-hooded churchmouse with a broadsword at his side has made his way in front of his forces.
CAPTION: The War of the Owls would have finished us if not for this band of heretofore unknown brothers.
Panel 2 - Background: SAXON and KENZIE, their hands outstretched in happy welcome. Foreground, from behind, we see the green-robed churchmouse remove his hood.
CAPTION: He fought fiercely to defend lands not his own, yet he walked so calm and centered, pure in spirit and deed.
Panel 3 - 1/2 page: Surrounded my cheering soldiers from both sides, the joyous SAXON and KENZIE are shaking hands with a humble and now revealed MATTHIAS, Warrior and Defender of the Abbey.
CAPTION And that was how we struck our long-standing alliance with the mice of Redwall...
in case you're curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall ...apologies for the short script this week; busy week for me...raw(az)
This an atmospheric and well written page. However I love the Redwall books so you had me all along!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Very nice mixture of that other mouse-based fantasy series, Ray. It just feels right.
