Epilogue

Extracts from the diary of Rollo Bankvole, Abbey Recorder.

It has been twenty seasons since Mattimeo, Sam, Cheek, Elmtail, and Honeycomb have returned, and this will be my tenth season as Abbey Recorder. Our five warriors have all retired their fighting ways and are now taking it easy. Mattmeo's son, Martin II is our new Abbey Champion, he's been keeping us safe for fifteen seasons straight, he and the decendants of our friends have been going on journeys together all around Mossflower and have been keeping the peace. Elmtail and Honeycomb recently had gotten married, and had two little maids. Sam finally met someone to settle down with and they had a son. Cheek and Sandra's son is now the new Skipper of the otters. We have a new Abbot, his name Durral. Originally, Mattimeo was going to be the father of our Abbey, but he steadfastly refused. Said, he was done leading and wanted another beast to get in the action. So, Durral stepped in as Abbot. However, where there is gain, there is also loss. Matthias, Cornflower, Basil Stag Hare, and Jess have all passed away. Five seasons after Mattimeo returned home, Basil passed away peacefully in his sleep. Then three seasons later, Jess passed away in her sleep as well. This really tore Sam and Cheek apart, but they knew that the two fighters were going to Dark Forest, where they would reunite with Abbot Mortimer, Abbot Mordalfus, Constance, and the others who came before me. Matthias and Cornflower were our recents, about 3 seasons ago from this very day is when they passed away. Even though they are all gone, they are not truely dead. Back to the good news, Julian and his wife had a few eggchicks, they still don't know how to talk, but it seems like it will be coming soon. May frequently flies here to our home and she too has a family, her husband's name is Whyrl, they have a son, named Aveator. My former mentor, Tim Churchmouse is taking it easy with our former Friar, Jube. About fifteen seasons ago, Jube and his mate had twin son, Higgle and Furlo. Higgle is our new and youngest Friar, while his brother Furlo is our cellar keeper. I hear the Matthias and Methuselah bells toll, that means two things, it's time for lunch and Martin has returned from another adventure, I better go see him, he has plenty of stories to tell everybeast here. Listen to me prattle on and one, no wonder I'm named Rollo. Well as I write these last words on the parchment I say this, those who are readingvthis young and old, may the seasons be kind to you, our Abbey gates are opened to any kind hearted beast.
