Onyx nodded to Cera and said "It's okay to ask for help every once in a while...sometimes even the best sharpteeth need help. It's something everyone must learn to accept. And you're welcome Cera."

(ooc: It's Onyx...Longtail is still tied to Mim's back)

Diver nodded, "Everyone needs help. Even grown ups sometimes." She said.

Mim nodded to what the others said. "Once we get to the water we can't give Longtail to much, he may not be able to take much in his present condition. A slow amount may be best and have to be sure he doesn't drink to much to fast." She said.

Cera looked abashed. Well as my grandfather was ill he couldn¥t drink much water too, Littlefoot said. We should go now, it seems that he really needs a bit water. He looked with much concern in his eyes at Longtail. Poor guy, he said to hisself.

Spike continued to lead the way to where the water was and in no time the small group had come to a rather large oasis full of water and green food. Spike immediately set to eating his fill of the green food his mouth could reach, while Cyrix walked over to the waters edge and took a small sip to make sure it was okay to drink and give to his nephew.

He drew his head back in surprise as he said "This is the freshest water I've ever tasted I wonder where it all came from?" Onyx landed next to Cyrix and said "I would say the sky water, but this water looks way too clean to be just sky water alone...this is quite the puzzle."

Diver starts eating a few bits of the green food she can reach. She decided to wait a bit before getting some water.

Mim walks over near the water and takes a few test sips also. "Could it come from under the ground? Sometimes water can flow under the ground or inside a mountain for a while." She suggested. She turned so Longtail was closer to the water. "One of you wants to give him some water?" She asked.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #325 on:** January 06, 2008, 10:30:48 PM

Cyrix nodded and said "Yes..I will." He carefully and slowly untied Longtail from Mim's back and carried him over to the edge of the pond and cupped a handful of water and held it up to Longtails beak and said "Here you are my nephew drink up." Wiether Longtail was responding to his uncle or just tired of keeping his head up Cyrix couldn't tell as he took several sips of the water, and almost immediately Longtail took a deep breath and managed to say "Thank you." before falling inot a quite sleep once more.

Mim looked at Lontail and Cyrix. "You want to rest here a bit in case he want some more water later?" She asks as she walked over beside Cyrix. She also put out a hand and patted him on the shoulder, her other patting Longtail gently.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #327 on:** January 06, 2008, 11:10:24 PM

Longtail subconisouly smiled as Mim patted him and Cyrix blushed just a little and said "Yes resting here would be a good idea." Onyx on the other hand said "I'm going to go exploring to see if I can find where this very clean water came from...even if it came from a underground cave." With that he flapped his wings and took to the sky flying a little ways away.

Kor · **Reply #328 on:** January 12, 2008, 04:58:59 AM

Mim nodded, "Be careful." She said. She then looked at Cyrix. "Longtail looks better." She said. She then looked at Longtail, "You want some more water or any food?" She asked him.

Having had a bit to eat Diver went over to get a little water. "Anyone else want some food or water while we rest here?" She asked.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #329 on:** January 12, 2008, 09:05:10 PM

Longtail smiled and shook his head indicating he'd had enough. At that point Onyx came swooping down out of the sky with a smile on his face. Cyrix looked over from his nephew and asked "Well did you find anything?" The black flyer nodded and said "Yes this clean water came from an underground river...one I think that can lead us to the Valley of Mists even faster!"

Cyrix beamed at the news and said "This is glorious...thank you Onyx...my nephew may have a better chance thanks to you."

Kor · **Reply #330 on:** January 13, 2008, 12:50:49 AM

"Could be a shortcut but we'd have to be careful there are no folks living in that underground area who are not friendly. Though any way to cut down on travel time is best." Mim said thinking aloud as well as to herself.

Diver nods, "We have to be extra careful, we certainly do." She said.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #331 on:** January 13, 2008, 02:11:02 AM

Onyx nodded at what Mim said and replied "Well there's only one way to found out." He said with a smirk and he looked at Longtail as he said to himself 'Poor kid...I do feel bad for him...' Spike however was too busy eating still to respond.

Kor · **Reply #332 on:** January 13, 2008, 05:56:38 PM

Mim looked over at Cyrix, "Do you want to put Longtail back onto my back, on yours or someone else's when it is time to set out?" She said, patting Longtail some more to try to help him to feel better.

Diver looked at some of the others who had been to the area before. "Didn't you go underground for a while to get to the area near where the night flowers were? Maybe this is the way or another way inside." She said.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #333 on:** January 17, 2008, 01:25:53 PM

Cyrix looked over to Mim and said "I think he should continue riding with you...you do a better job of keeping him safe." He then blushed as he said "Thank you for coming with us...Mim."

Littlefoot came to the gang now. He was going to visit the close area. He was going to longtail and asked: "Are you all right?" He looked with a friendly smile at longtail, while Ducky was climbing on his back. Petrie was the whole time up in the sky to look for danger. After a while he came down and said, "there is no danger. We are safe for a while." "Oh I hope we are," Ducky said. "She remembered the meeting with red horn and pushed her head against Littlefoots back." "It¥s okey Ducky, don¥t worry, he said with a warm voice."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #335 on:** January 17, 2008, 02:32:41 PM

Still too physically weak to respond Longtail simply shook his head at Littlefoots question and managed a small smile. Cyrix then looked to Littlefoot and said "Yes this place should be quite safe for now. We also have Onyx flying around here somewhere keeping an eye out for sharpteeth. So don't worry."

Kor · **Reply #336 on:** January 17, 2008, 06:04:09 PM

Diver looked around at some of the larger folks, trying to decide who she would ride with, so many choices.

Mim nodded, "If you think it is best I carry him I'd be glad to, and thanks for your compliment, I'm happy to help." She said smiling to Cyrix. She examined the vine they had tied Longtail to her earlier to see if it was good to use gain or if it were better to get a new one.

Nimrod · **Reply #337 on:** January 18, 2008, 04:05:23 PM

"Unngh" Behind the gang was Cera. She was trying to reach some plants on the ground. But because of her leg the plants were very hard to reach. Littlefoot noticed how she tried to reach the greenfoot. He took some plants with his mouth and brought it Cera. She looked at him and asked: "What do ya want with this greenfoot?" Littlefoot put the plants in front of him to speak. "Well, give it to you. I saw you aren¥t doing well with reaching the plants on the ground. So I would give you the plants, if ya want." Cera looked at him with big eyes. "No, I don¥t need help. I can get my greenfood alone." "Okey, how you want." Littlefoot said, but he still knew that she would change her mind. After a while he heard asking her. "Eeeeh, could ya give me the greenfood, please?" "Of course," Littlefoot answered. He took the greenfood again and brought it her. She took it out of his mouth and began to eat. "You see?" Littlefoot asked. "You haven¥t to be shamed before asking for help. How we said already. We are a big group where everybody needs help. And you aren¥t an exception. Trust me." "Well", Cera was a bit ashamed now in this situation. "I know, thx."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #338 on:** January 19, 2008, 08:30:33 PM

Cyrix looked over at Littlefoot as he helped Cera and smiled. 'That's a show of true friendship...I'm glad they came along too. Even as young as they are...they can still give an adult like me inspiration.'

Looking at the vine it looked ok, but Mim decided since they may spend a while underground getting a fresh vine may be better in case they were underground for quite a while. She went a short distance and got a new one of the right type and length. She started seeing if she could gently tie Longtail to her back or if she'd need help, not by picking up longtail but testing first by draping the vine around her as if longtail were already on her back.

Diver sat down to rest a bit, still deciding who to ride with, though thinking about it it may be easier to ride with her sister Ducky. Though she could ride with another 4 footer, or perhaps with Mim to keep Longtail company. This would require some thought, she thought to herself. [1]
