Hello! I am back again! Oh sugar packet! (Eats sugar) Okay I guess I really need to lay off the sugar! Now for review time!
Recorder of Redwall: Sorry for the mistakes, though I thought I did use a new paragraph for a new speaker. I'll keep it in mind and double check the next time I upload a chapter to Also, the story where I listen to what reviewers want is my 'Visser Three's Most Embarrassing Thing'.
To my other reviewers! Thanks for the reviews! I really enjoyed them!
Disclaimer: All that Tigerlily owns is all of the Redwall books, except the newest one, and me, Karyan.
Chapter 7
I awoke the next morning, way before dawn, to scrapping noises and laughter at the door. I sat there asking to myself why Dibbuns like doing that and getting their elders up at whom knows at what time in the morning.
" Shush…Kitler. We don't wanna wake-a-up muther abbess, or be'd sent back to bed." Said a young male.
"You shusha up, Mikler!" Said whom I figured to be Kitler, which sounded like a young female. I slowly heard them make their way down the stairs, to some place or another. I would of got up and told them to go back to bed but it was sort of hard to get up with bruised ribs and the like.
I figured I would try to go back to bed, and maybe try to go to the Cavern Hole for breakfast, that is if I am allowed to go. I wondered this because there were times throughout the books, were the injured stayed in the infirmary until they were healed. But I really wanted to see the place that I had dreamed about coming to since I watched an episode of Martin the Warrior on PBS. Which in turn got me hooked onto the books.
I somehow fell asleep, because the next thing I know is that someone is trying to get me awake by saying my name softly. I slowly open my eyes again and am meet by the face of Aggron, five inches from my face.
" Ahhhhhhhh!" I yell, then clutch at my chest to try and get my heart rate back to normal. While I was doing that, he falls to the floor laughing his head off.
Suddenly the door to the infirmary slams open, and Deyna runs in and sees Aggron on the floor and me glaring at Aggron, like I was wishing him dead.
" Um… I'll just go now." He says, and notices that no one know he was there.
Aggron finally gets off the floor, swipes the dirt off, looks at me and starts laughing again. I quietly, but angrily, wait for him to stop laughing. So you could picture me sitting on the bed, glaring daggers at him, and keeping myself from getting off the bed and hitting him upside the head a couple dozen times.
When he gets off the floor, he sees that it would not be a good idea to start laughing again, that's if he values his life, which he does.
" Good morning dear brother," I say with an awfully sweet tone. " Why are you up here, trying to wake me up?"
"Um… I kind of came to tell you that breakfast is ready. And that Sister Floburt should be here soon to see if you can come down to Cavern Hole to eat." As if she was standing outside the door waiting for her cue, she came in.
" Well how do you feel this morning Tigerlily?" She asked me.
"Um… I feel better then yesterday, but my ribs still hurt a little bit." I replied.
"Well lets check on a couple of things and then we'll go from there." Just as I was about to take my tunic off, I realized my brother was still in the room, looking around.
" Aggron, um… can you go outside?"
"Uh?" His attention must have been somewhere else in his mind because he looked at me, saw that my wounds were about to be checked and quickly left the room. I was surprised he didn't yell on his way out, but that's my brother, you never knew when he was going to be like that.
After being checked over I was allowed to go down to breakfast, but I had to take it easy and don't be running around. Fudge, how could she of read my mind? Since that's was what I was planning on doing. She went out of the room and let my brother in so he could help me down to Cavern Hole and also to make sure that I didn't get lost.
We walked down the stairs and made our way into Great Hall. Aggron let me stop and look around a little bit since I wouldn't go further until I had at least seen some of the hall. He led me to the famous tapestry that held the history of Redwall. I stared in fascination of how well done it was. Sure I had seen the pictures of it in the books but seeing it, now in person, made the pictures look like a child tried and failed at drawing it.
We came upon the picture of Martin in the tapestry. I could almost feel that he was staring right though me, like he could see my soul. I noticed that his smile was like that of a proud father watching his children play. Though that would quickly fade if he sensed they were in danger, and would fight or help when needed. Aggron had to almost drag me away so that we wouldn't miss breakfast.
We walked down the stairs that separated Great Hall and Cavern Hole. When we walked in I felt a great and caring environment sweep over me. I found it almost overwhelming with the intensity of it. We went over to the table that had the rest of my friends, already there and eating. I slowly and carefully sat down and said greetings to my friends.
Oh man, was the food delicious. I had a little bit of everything that I thought looked good. While eating I listened to the conversations around me. I basked in the warmth and glow in this place. The atmosphere was comforting, joyful, and protective. Don't ask me why it felt protective, but it just did, and it made me fell warm and fuzzy. I also know that was very cliché, but that's how I felt and I couldn't also help feel that it would soon disappear into nothing until the un-seeable threat was taken care of. But I didn't pay it any mind. Who would in an environment that one has only dreamed of, and finally experience it?
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
After breakfast I had my friends show me around the abbey that they had learned how to make their way around. Deyna walked with us and listened to us talk and I listened to the exact details of what they had been doing while I had been having a nice long nap in the infirmary.
"…So Aggron, Dixon, and Tallow where caught by the cellar keepers with them trying to lug two barrels off into the guardhouse. They only got to the door way to the cellar, before they were caught. Do you want to know what they said, Tigerlily?" Asked Yeather.
" Yes what has my little brother been up to?"
" Wait! How can Aggron be your brother when you are an otter and he is a hare?" Asked Deyna with a look on confusion on his handsome face. WAIT! Handsome! Come on Katie you need to get a grip! No guy crushes!
" Well his and mine parents were really close friends. Well his parents died when we were young and my parents adopted him, and we saw ourselves as brother and sister before so it just worked out really well." I lied from the top of my head. Hopefully he would buy it.
" Oh… that's really bad to hear. My father died when I was a few days old and vermin raised me for 15 seasons. So I guess it's better to be raised by family friends then by the same creatures that caused their deaths."
During our little talk we found ourselves by the pond that was near the south outer wall. You could see the fish at the bottom; the water was that clear and unpolluted. Which made me like this place more and more and also the fact that I was an otter made it better. Who would give up a chance to swim in water so clean and fresh? Sure back home there was a lake that was clear but you still had gasoline and other chemicals in the water from the boats and other things.
" So…" I say. " What did my brother, Vixen-"
"Hey!" cries Dixon.
"- and Baka (1) say to the cellar keepers?" I say ignoring the interruption by Dixon.
" Well Aggron said, ' Don't shoot…wait you don't do that here do you? Um…' he said when he noticed that the two cellar keepers was looking at him funny. ' Were going to take these two barrels of Redwall's famed ale and try it out in the guard house.' But it didn't work out well." Finished Yeather. I was laughing too hard that it was hard to breathe and I had tears going down my face. I was tempted to roll around on the ground like most would do in this situation, but that would put more pressure on my ribs.
We continued to walk around on until dinner. It was more spectacular then it had been at breakfast and lunch. Food, chatter, and creatures were everywhere. I could have mistaken it for a feast, but I knew this wasn't the case. After the delightful dinner I retreated early to bed, I was so tired. My head hit the pillow after I fell asleep.
