Crest Rise Chapter Three
((Disclaimer: work may use words from Brian Jacques series Redwall, I am not trying to take them as my own.))
Records of Crest Rise Abbey
Tis a beautiful season of Sun's Eye. The title is so very true, for the sun is being a bit to watchful with its heat upon us.
Oh, but it is a glorious day. I can even hear the sounds of the babies playing in the pond. How energetic they are.
Rain has forsaken us. The land of Oak Fallen is slowly baking up.
Several days ago, when the Asooft (All Shrews Of Oak Fallen Territory) came. They informed us that the water meadows south of us are drying up, and that only the deepest parts would survive the summer!
Oh, there I go again mumbling about terrible heat and drought.
I believe I will check the kitchens and see what will be served for teatime.
Signed- Brother Hermin
Recorder of Crest Rise Abbey.
Hermin sighed as he laid his quill down. Stretching his paws as he stood. He walked out of his room, down the stairs, and into the great hall. The red sandstone floors shimmered with multiple colors from the stained glass windows.
Yawning he walked outside into the mass of sunlight and heat. Slowly he made his way his way to the abbey pond. Arma, the badgermum, scolded the dibbuns (babies creatures of the abbey).
"Goby, don't you dare go any deeper," yelled Arma. "Don't you dare."
Hermin chuckled and called to his friend, "Don't scare them much or they'll be sure to flee to deeper waters'."
"I don't know about that," she replied. "Some of the little ones ate enough berries, that I'm surprised that they can still move."
Arma and Hermin quietly giggled at the antics of the dibbuns, when Arma suddenly cried out, "Goby, what in Oak Fallen is that?"
Hermin looked at the baby shrew, Goby, who held a long gold tube. It shimmered as the water caught sunlight.
Goby squealed in surprise as Arma begun to move in his direction. He dashed deeper into the pond, losing the tube.
