Tea Lilly woke the next morning with small recolection of what she had witnessed last night in her dreams.But still the faint gleam of fire light burned in her eyes. She shook her head to try to draw the strange glow away.Her attention was diverted to the kitchen.a loud clamour was going on downstairs.she could hear metal pots and pans striking the surface of the rock abbey walls. She put on a worn green habit that Father abbot let her borrow from another young redwaller who was about the same size as her. she slid down the stairs in silence and peered around a corner.Whatever was going on, it was loud.A pot was flung right out of the kitchen onto the floor of great hall.The racket cotinued.she strained to hear the voices speaking in the kitchen, and with all the noise they were barely audible.a voice behind her spoke."oh so your the little scamp they found outside.Well those dibbuns were right, you are a pretty one.And what were they talking about? Your not scrawny!" Tea lilly, startled had turned around to a young male mouse about her age. she felt as if she had already met him before, like in a dream...but she couldn't remember. Though she had to ask something anything...then she saw it. HIs eyes, his eyes almost met the glow the sword had given, but not quite."Do you have a sword? How close is the ocean to here,What's a dibbun, and no I'm not scrawny!" The young mouse looked her up and down.His voice a little seriouse, a sword? Well rat death is tucked away somewhere in uh, Salamandastron, but thats old news. Nowones used rat death for...years.All the old heros are gone, and we have no need for new ones.He brushed it out of his mind with a wave of his hand. the dibbuns are the wee ones wreaking havoc on our poor friar in there...my names mattimeo, but PLEASE call me matt.I'm pleased to meet you, and if you'll excuse me I have to go round up some feisty little dibbuns, and find the friars cookbook that they probably hid. "well why;s there so much noise" Tea lilly asked. Matt turned towards the kitchen."well my guess is that while everyone was looking for the cookbook they snitched away some of the triffle meant for tonights feast. you are coming right?"Tea lilly looked flustered."of course, and I'll help with the dibbuns..."they headed toward the kitchen...mariel paused..."Matt, what in dark gates is triffle?" Matt laughed warmly."Where have you been?Never had triffle? oh, you'll find out soon enough...that is unless the dibbuns scoff it before we even get a whiff,come on hurry up! Those dibbuns have more scoffin' power than the bally long-patrol! Tea lilly would ask about whatever the long patrol was at the feast, but in the mean time she had to stop some dibbuns from eating triffle before she found out what it was!!!
