The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

A confused look spread across Littlefoot's face "Huh?" he asked being too young to understand.

Nani yawned and awoke raising her head,she tried to stand up to get some breakfast ready. Too busy thinking of her sleep story she just woke from to notice Taro was awake.

Grandma and Grandpa just looked at each other and chuckled.
"Nevermind," said Grandpa. "Shall we go and get some breakfast?"

"Good morning," said Taro, noticing her getting up.

Nani was snapped from her thoughts "Morning Taro,did you sleep well?" she asked nuzzling him gently.

Littlefoot nodded "Yeah! I'm starving!"

"Yep," Taro answered. "How are you feeling this morning?"

Grandma picked up Littlefoot and the two walked on, finding a good place to eat.

Nani did not answer instead just looked down tears starting to fall from her eyes.

Littlefoot thought for a moment then asked "Grandma,Gradmpa whats The Shadowlands anyway? Cera's Dad said they were Shadowlanders so they are evil..but they don't seem evil to me...expect Hades that is..he a big bully"

Taro was immediately concerned. "Hey, what's wrong?" He knew instantly that it was a stupid question. "Sorry..."

"Well... it's a place where you really don't want to go, Littlefoot," his grandpa explained. "There's hardly anything there... food... water, and I suppose it must drive some of the dinosaurs insane."
"But Nani isn't originally from there," Grandma carried on. "She used to be part of our old herd, and used to play with... your mother. She probably raised her children the same way she remembered being raised by her actual parents."

Nani sobbed wildly "I had a sleep story of Ben and Uzuri last night" was all she said.

Littlefoot was still confused "Then why do they live there if theres nothing here?"

"Hmm... I'm not entirely sure about that one," said Grandma. "But I don't think it's easy to escape the Shadowlands. If you try and leave, you'll probably end up getting..." she cut herself off and walked on.

Taro nuzzled her gently. "Oh, I'm so sorry Nani..." He also looked like he was about to cry; he hated seeing anybody so upset.

Nani buried her head into him "Can..you come with me later when I lay them to rest? I....can't do it on my own"

Littlefoot frowned and looked around seeing Nani and Taro "Hey...whats wrong with miss Nani?" Littlefoot asked.

"Of course," said Taro, smiling gently at her.

"Oh, she's been through terrible things, little one," Grandma sighed.

Littlefoot pulled his curious face "What kind of things?".


Nahla awoke a yawn and squealed loudly wanting everyone to just focus on her.

"Things to do with... Hades," Grandpa sighed. "He killed two of their children and nearly killed Nani too..." He stared at the ground sadly.

Nahla's squealing had woken up Lily. "Good morning," she said, nuzzling the hatchling.

"I can't imagine what she's gone through," said Grandma while Grandpa nuzzled his grandson.

Lily giggled before seeing how upset Nani looked. She was about to ask what was wrong but Taro just mouthed 'later'.

Littlefoot sobbed "Uzuri was my friend" he wailed.

Nahla looked over at the adults and waddled over "Daddy?" she asked poking him "Mummy?" she tilted her head to the side and stumbled off,returning a few moments later with two cherries,she offered them to her parents with a squeak.

(Adorable Nahla is adorable)

"I know Littlefoot," said Grandpa. "I'm sorry..."

Taro chuckled and nuzzled Nahla. "Aw, you're the cutest little thing, aren't you?"
"Hey!" Lily exclaimed. Taro chuckled again.
"It's the harsh truth, Lily. Live with it," he answered, grinning at her.

"WITTLEWOOT!" Nahla shouted loud enough for him and his grandparents to hear "WITTLEWOOT WITTLEWOOT"

Nani whispered to Taro "I think it's time to....you know" she stared ahead to where she could see her childrens bodies.

"Oh, sounds like somebody wants you, Littlefoot," Grandma chuckled.

Taro nodded, now in a very serious mood.
