Chapter Ten: The Young Warrior
"Hehehe, I have your father where I want him, mousssssey," the giant adder said as he dragged Mattimeo off into the woods, "My troops will be waiting for him." Asmodeous sniggered.
"You'll never get."
"Shut-up, you fool! Don't you know who I am? I can kill you, jussssst sssssay one more word." The snake took Mattimeo into a hole.
"He couldn't've gone far, Matthias. He's got to." the mouse's voice trailed off.
"Cornflower? Cornflower? Where'd you." Matthias was dragged into the bushes.
*Shling! * You could here Matthias's sword cutting through rats, ferrets, stoats, and weasels.
"Where is he? Where is Asmodeous? Where is Mattimeo?" Matthias asked a scared weasel.
"They're in a hole, Matthias, sir," the weasel replied shyly.
"Where's the hole? If you tell me, I'll spare you."
"Over there," the Weasel pointed to the hole where the snake was, "Will you let me go?"
"Why not? I said I would." Matthias let the weasel go. When he turned around, the weasel stabbed him with a dagger. Matthias fell to the ground, unconscious. The weasel grabbed the sword, and ran for the hole. He tripped, the sword going right through his chest.
He looked up. "Whatya do that for?" He asked a squirrel standing over him.
"Because you're a vermin," the squirrel spat on the weasel, and took the sword from his chest, leaving him there to die. She went over to help Matthias. He was now conscious, again. She handed him the sword. "We best get you back to the Abbey, Matthias." The squirrel helped him up, and walked him back to the abbey.
"Did you save Mattimeo?" He asked feebly.
"Not yet, sir. I have a feeling you're the only one that can. Or Addie. Let me take your sword," the squirrel offered.
"No, no, tis' a warrior's pride to always carry his weapons during battle. Whether battling or not." With that, Matthias blacked out again. The squirrel took him to a bed inside the abbey. She took his sword.
"I'll return it," she whispered.
In the forest, the battle was being fought. The squirrel ran to Addie, holding Matthias's sword.
"Take this young warrior, while Matthias is sleeping," she gave the sword to Addie, "Use it well," and she ran up a tree. I will save Matti! Addie thought to herself as she stood there holding the ancient sword, Use it wisely. Two weasels approached her.
"Whatcha got there, Missy? Oh! Does the little girl have a play sword? Oh, you know, violence shouldn't be for children so young," one weasel said in a baby voice.
"Shut-up!" With a mighty blow, Addie cut the two in half. "Who's so little now?" Addie left, searching for the hiding place of Asmodeous. She tripped and slid right into a hole. It just happened to be the hole with Asmodeous and Mattimeo in it.
"Hehehe, I have your father where I want him, mousssssey," the giant adder said as he dragged Mattimeo off into the woods, "My troops will be waiting for him." Asmodeous sniggered.
"You'll never get."
