This story might be getting a little boring and repetitive 'cause I'm just making it up as I go.

R&R as always

Matthias slowly walked down the stairs. He couldn't get any sleep that night, and had no idea how he was going to. It was well into the night, but he felt that he had enough energy to run all the way to the sea from Redwall. He reached Great Hall and quickly walked towards the main abbey gates, with his eyes looking at his footpaws. He suddenly ran into somebeast and gasped in surprise. The figure of a squirrel whirled around and faced Matthias. It was Cast.

"Sorry," Matthias said quickly.

"It's alright. You just surprised me," Cast said. He then looked back to the tapestry of Martin the Warrior. "Who's this mouse?"

"That's Martin the Warrior. He comes in the dreams of beasts that he chooses and gives them advice in times of need. He was one of the founders of Redwall, and was its first Warrior," Matthias said. "By the way, why are you here? Shouldn't you be abed?"

"I couldn't sleep. I don't know why, it's such a comfortable place and I had never been on a bed until yesterday," Cast said.

"That reminds me Cast, you never told me where you're from. Cornflower asked you but you said you're a traveler. Where is your home? Aren't your parents worried about where you are?" Matthias asked.

Cast frowned, but quickly turned his mouth into a wide smile.

"If I'm a traveler, then how could I have a home?" he asked.

Matthias stared at him, confused.

Cast sighed, knowing he would no longer be able to hold it in him.

"I don't have a home or parents. They were killed by a group of searats. My home was near the sea; it was a small village, inhabited by a manner of peaceable creatures. Well, obviously, I vowed revenge for the death of my family and friends against the leader of the group of searats, Sinith. My journey led me to the mountain stronghold, Salamandastron. By the time I reached Salamandastron, Sinith had already gathered a well-formed army of vermin. He attacked Salamandastron but the hares and I were able to defeat the army and I was able to take my revenge by slaying Sinith," Cast said, as he turned back to the tapestry of Martin. All this happened about 4 seasons ago. Since then, I became a traveler, and my travels have led me here," Cast replied with a sigh.

Martin immediately felt guilty for asking the question.

"I'm sorry, I had no idea. If it makes you feel any better, I have never known my family either. In fact, I don't remember anything before I came to this abbey," Matthias said.

Cast smiled.

"It's alright. I kept my past within me for such a long time now and now I feel a lot better for getting it out of me."

It was now that Cast noticed Matthias wasn't paying attention; he was looking out the window, at the figure of a mousemaid that was walking around the ramparts. Matthias walked to the main abbey gates, and left outside to the ramparts. Cast followed, but quickly scaled a maple outside the abbey where he could not be seen, but could still see the two mice.

"Hello," Matthias said to Cornflower. She gasped in surprise as she looked up.

"Matthias! What are you doing here?" She said.

"I could ask you the same thing. It's not safe for a mousemaid to be out when it's near midnight."

"And is my valiant warrior of Mossflower going to safe me from the dark?" Cornflower said, smiling, as she walked past Matthias.

Matthias was embarrassed beyond belief, but he quickly changed the subject.

"D-D-Do you want to go for a walk outside the Abbey?"

"Sure," Cornflower said, still smiling.

The two walked quietly down the stairs, and out the east wall gate. Cast scaled the stairs, and jumped from the battlements, onto a nearby oak, where he was, once again, camouflaged.

"You were wrong," Cornflower said as she pointed east. "It's not near midnight. In fact, it's almost dawn."

The sun showed it's first few wisps of rays into the night air covering Mossflower, as it evaporated the dew upon the grass and trees. Matthias turned his eyes from the beautiful scene to the eyes of Cornflower. It was now that Matthias truly appreciated beauty. Cornflower turned her eyes to Matthias'. The two mice stared at each other for the longest time. Cornflower moved closer. Matthias did the same. They were paw in paw now, and still moved closer……………….

Cast sniggered from his hideout and quickly ran back into the abbey.

KISS
