Part 21- The End

It was said that Redwall Abbey never saw a happier couple. That night at the feast, Cornflower and Matthias were never seen without a smile on their face. They fit the image of the flawless couple perfectly. They had eyes only for each other, and weren't separated for even a second. It was said that Cornflower glowed radiantly, and that Matthias was all smiles. It was said that over the seasons, there were few days when Matthias and Cornflower were apart. It was said that Retto and Matthias Methuselah Mortimer, who later became known as Mattimeo, were raised much of the abbey dwellers. It was said that there was never a more contented family then that of Matthias and Cornflower. It was said that Mattimeo eventually took his fathers place as the abbey warrior, and that Retto turned to traveling. It was said that Matthias and Cornflower lived at the beautiful red abbey for their entire lives, and that when they passed on it was within a few hours of the other.

But who knows?? Only they do. It is, after all, their story.

*THE END*

A/N: What did you think?? I don't like the ending at all, but as I re-read what I had written, I realized that it seemed to drag on for too long, so I shortened it up a bit. Please email me with any feedback, comments, or flames. I appreciate them all.
