"Order!Order!" Abbess Tiya yelled out among the rucus of Cavern Hole
Soon all the noise died down as the Abbess stood.
"My friends, grave news now greets out Abbey. I fear that we must flee from here.."She started.
"But where we will go?" An otter yelled out.
"Settle..settle.." Tiya replied. "We shall go to the south, out kind gatekeeper Fenna has told us what we are dealing with and has decided to come forward to tell everyone. Miss Fenna, if you please."
The old and ancient squirrel stepped forward, holding a fairly old book in her arms. She cleared her throat and opened the book.
"I refer back to my olden days when I was just a young 'un. Me, my friend Springald, and Horty;as we knew him; disobeyed our Abbot, who was abbot Carrul at the time, and ran off with Sarobando the squirrel and Bragoon the otter to Loamhedge to search for a secret healing manuscript for Horty's poor sister. Upon reaching Loamhedge all we found really were gravestone and ruin. We also found the reason for all of this destruction. It seemed that a black death had reached them, which was later named the plague." she sounded out.
All of the beasts in the abbey stared at old Fenna. Then the otter who psoke out earlier rasied his hand.
"Yes?" Fenna asked.
"So what do we do then?" He asked.
"We must flee. We shall go to the south past old Loamhedge to an abbey down there. Mr Toobledum told me on the journey that there was an abbey far to the south. It was called Blackstone abbey, a nice one like ours but smaller.." she replied.
"All for the idea of going to Blackstone raise your hands" Abbess Tiya yelled out.
Everyone that was present raised their hands high.
The abbot sighed. "Then it is settled, we elave tomorrow at dawn, sleep well and pack my friends.. dismissed."
It was a sad night as the Abbeybeasts crawled into their beds. The only people still up was a group or friends about 14-15 years old(which is equal to about 13-15 seasons). There was four of them, 2 mice, one otter, and 1 shrew. The shrew's name was Jig, the ottter's name was Shiigo, and the mice's names were Starflower and Rath.
"So it's agreed then?" Rath whispered.
Shiigo, Jig, and Starflower nodded.
"We shall leave the abbey with the brothers and sisters and upon reaching the ruins of the church we leave for the badger mountain" Jig said.
"Sleep well my friends" Rath whispered "tomorrow we start the greatest journey of our lives."
Sleep didn't come easy for Starflower, when she did sleep she was visited in her dreams by Martin!
Her voise sounded not of her own as she spoke to him. "Oh Martin, how could this horrible thing happened to our poor abbey?"
Martins figured glided close to her and stared deep into her eyes.
"That I cannot answer" His voice rang out." But I know something that shall be a great help on your journey. Take with you my sword, it shall be of a great use to you Starflower! Take it and search for Salamandastron! you must not fail for a great evil is heading there! but try not to let the tohers know of the sword, speak only with the abbess about it! Heed my warning!"
His figure then started moving backwards into the darkness..
"Martin! no come back...!" she heard herself yell out..
Starflower awoke on the floor. Martin's words were still fresh in her mind as she stared out into the darkness that shadow the abbey now. she got up and quietly left for the abbess's room.
"Abbess Tiya!Abbess Tiya!" Starflower softly yelled.
The door opened to reveal a fully awake Abbess Tiya in her nightgown.
"Starflower..I was sort of expecting you." She whispered. "come on in"
Starflower, with a confused look, entered into the Abbess's room.
"I know you won't approve Abbess but me, Jig, Rath and Shiigo are planning to break away from the group and head to the badger moutain, and i just now got a dream from Martin to ask you for his sword." she quickly explained.
At kind Abbess nodded.
"I too recied a dream from Martin, he told me all of this, and told me you would arrive here now. I shall not stop you four, and I will gladly hand the sword over to you." she replied.
"Oh thank you Abbess,thank you!" Starflower yelled.
They both hugged each other and smiled.
"Ever since you showed up on our doorstep I've always thought of you as the daughter i never had.." the abbess said sighing. "But I know you shall be strong and a wise elader to your friends. Take cae of the sword, It is hanging right above where the tapestry use to be. You may take it before we leave tomorrow."
Starflower smiled and curtsied started for the door.
"Starflower" The abbess voice rang out.
She turned around, "Yes?"
"Take with you the archieves of 'The summer of the Late Rose wars', and 'the recordings of Tim churchmouse during the time of Mattimeo, Matthias's son', it tells of the search. Protect them as well as the sword, This ask of you." she said.
"I will Abbess Tiya." Starflower said.
"Good luck to you" Abbess smiled.
The next morning the abbey was slowly starting to empty, the last ones to leave were Jig,Shiigo, Rath and starflower. They were saying good-bye to their friends that had died from the horrible plague. Quietly Starflower went and got Martin's sword, she wrapped it up in a brown wrapping and stuck it into her havesack with the books Tiya told her to take. They then left the abbey. Starflower looked back at the once peacefil Abbey and sighed.
"Our poor abbey..."she murmered.
All Four of themwalked on, without any knowledge of what awaited them as they seperated from the group.
