I don't own Redwall and the songs ." I own Celia, the Healer, Meyla et Jeyla.
Celia decided to search for the family of her mother, the Waterfalls. She knew her grand-mother, Celia the First, was the leader. Celia's mom was barely born when Badrang captured them. The strong Celia couldn't survive to left her mate and their three daughters. Key and her two sisters became orphan and one day Layla died.
Onde day, she saw an old otterwife.
" Me poor eyes, Celia Waterfall ! " The old otterwife screamed.
" How do you know me ? " Celia asked.
" You aren't Celia Waterfall ! Who are ya ? "
" My name is Celia." Celia replied." I'm Key's daughter."
" Key ? Yeah, Baby Key ! How is she ? "
" She's in the Dark Forest now."Celia repled.
The old otterwife sighed.
" You look like so much your mother."
Celia smiled to her.
" Who are ya ? " She asked to the old otter.
" I'm Jeyla. I escaped to Badrang's attack. I was fourteen seasons old at this moment. Your grandma hold your ma in her arms. I ran away. I left them to Badrantg." She told.
" Continue." Celia's said.
" Almost all of the Waterdall weren't survive to Marshank. I learnt that your mother passed herself offf as a young male. She fought like a male. Many of the slaves thought she was a male ! "
" I didn't know it. " Celia said.
" I know, me dear. I know." Jeyla said, sadly.
She saw the healer.
" Me poor eyes ! A vermin ! " She screamed.
The old otter ran away.
...
" Sing, Celia."
Celia smiled and sang :
" Siúl, siúl, siúl, a rún, Siúl go socair agus siúl go cúin, Siúl go dti an doras agus ailig liom. Is go dteighigh tú a bhoirnín, slán.
I would I were on yonder hill. T'is there I'd sit and cry my fill, and every tear would turn a mill. Is go dteighigh tú a bhoirnín, slán.
I'll sell my rack. I'll sell my reel. I'll sell my only spinning wheel. To buy for my love a sword of steel. Is go dteighigh tú a bhoirnín, slán.
I'll dye my petticoats. I'll dye them red, and around the world, I'll beg my bread. Until my parents shall wish me dead. Is go dteighigh tú a bhoirnín, slán.
I wish. I wish. I wish in vain. I wish I had my heart again. And vainly think I'd not complain. Is go dteighigh tú a bhoirnín, slán.
But now my love has gone to nowhere , to try his fortunes to advance. If e'er he come back, t'is but a chance. Is go dteighigh tú a bhoirnín, slán. "
" It's beautiful, Celia." The healer said. " Him or me? "
" What ? ! " Celia yelled.
" Do you want to stay with me ? " The healer said.
" I don't know." She sighed. " Love hurts. Martin never recovered of my aunt's death. My father spent his night to cry my mother."
" Celia..."
" No ! Love isn't for the bybrid."
" Your parents were different and they were in love with each other. "
" Mom died during childbirth. I'm a monster."
" No, Celia ! " The healer yelled.
" I am . "
"I think you don't want to look for Skytail. You look for your mother . You want to make your mourning. "
" Ya're right. " She cried.
She remembered.
Flashback.
Mom layed on her bed. Tullgrew put rags on her frondhead and she sat beside her.
" My poor Key." Tullgrew said.
" Don't cry Tullgrew. " Mom said. " Do you remember when we were dibbuns ? "
" Yeah." She replied. " You took blows instead me. You protected me."
" I failed, I let Meyla die." Mom said."
End of flashback.
Celia hugged the healer.
" I love you. " She said to him.
...
" He's right . " Rose said.
" Two worlds, one family. " Key said.
They sang :
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace
Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace
Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But danger's no stranger here
No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope
Somewhere something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
