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

LBT: A Life-saving Journey

Cyrix looked to Mim and nodded as he said "I'm ready. What about you Onyx?" The black flyer nodded as well and replied "I'm a flyer, I'm always ready to go!" then he flapped his wings and took to the skies and looked down at the others with a smile.

Longtail suddenly smiled as he heard that everyone was okay and ready to contiue the journey.

Ducky climbed up Mim again and took one of the lines which were holding Longtail again. Don¥t worry Longtail. We¥ll get the nightflowers soon. Then you¥ll be okay again, she said in a soft tone while rubbing his head gently.

As Ecco began climbing on Ali's mother's back, Cayso offered his hand to help his friend.
- "We are so close now, all of us..." - Cayso was thinking and making a smile - "... we will finally get those flowers and we'll save Longtail, Racnar and Scarface!."

BLue Eye remained holding onto Scarface so he would not slip off and watched to see if Ecco would need any help.

Ali's mother nodded, remaining in the as low as she could get position to make climbing on her easier.  

"Then it sounds like we can all set out." She said once anyone who was going to climb on her had done so.   Once she was sure everyone was on her who was going to she set off in the direction of where the night flowers were.  

Mim nodded, "Everyone who needs a nightflower will very soon have what they need." Mim said.

"It will be good, it certainly will." Diver said.

"Yes, we are close indeed." Ali's mother said, nodding a little.

Finally Ecco managed it to climb on the huge longtail. Wow, how did I do that, Ecco asked hisself. Well, doesn¥t matter after all he thought and took care of the other side from Scarface.

Cyrix smiled up and asked "So how does it feel to be riding a longneck for the first time? It must be fun!"

Cayso looked down to where Cyrix is and replied - "It is amazing!, I never imagined to have a chance to get this close to a Longneck, even less to ride on one." - Cayso forgot for a second why he was there and tried to enjoy the view and the experience, something most unique for a fast-bitter or any Sharptooth.

Blue Eyes looked out from his new vantage point, "It is quite wonderful.  I never would have thought it would be quite like this." He said looking around from where he was while keeping at least 1 hand of Scarface.

Cyrix chuckled and said "Good to hear. Just be sure to hold onto Scareface until we reach the Night flower okay." he then looked over to Mim and asked "Is Longtail doing okay?"

Well, I rode on one before. But not on one who is that huge.

"I envy you Ecco, I bet this will be my only chance..." - Cayso replied while holding Scarface's head and neck to keep the leafs and moss in their position. - ".. but I am certainly glad that I am not afraid of heights."

Mim looked at Longtail on her back and Diver who was patting him.  "He looks like he's resting." Mim says looking back at Cyrix.  "That is a good sign." She said to try to help keep the other folk's spirits, including Longtail's up.

Cyrix gave a relived smile and replied to Mim "That is indeed a good sign. I wonder how close we are to the Land of Mists? I know we are close but I'd like to get there sooner than later."

"We are pretty close." Ali's mother said, "You have come quite a long way indeed & will be soon at your destination."

"Yes, we are close.  Just like last time, only our group wasn't quite this large." Ali said looking at Littlefoot.

"Good, then we can give the nightflowers to those who are sick and they will get better, they certainly will, and take some to those who need them." Diver said.

"Like we took some back for Littlefoot's Grandfather." Ali said.

"Sounds like you had quite an adventure." Mim said looking at Ali and the others.

"We did." Ali said nodding.

"You just have to remember that the night flowers only bloom at night." Ali's mother said to the group looking down at them and moving her head closer as she spoke.

That¥s right. Littlefoot nodded in agreement. Our groupt wasn¥t that large, but we managed to get the nightflowers. So we¥ll manage to get them this time for sure.

OCC: Are we walking yet, or waiting til everyone is ready?

((OOC: We can start walking now. ;) ))

Cyrix walked towards the front of their 'herd' and smiled as he knew that the closer they got to the Land of Mists the sooner Longtail would be all better. He looked into the sky to see Onyx flying ahead to see if there was any danger nearby.
Cyrix sighed and slowed his pace until he was walking next to Mim and asked "When did you first enter the Great valley?

Ali walked next to Littlefoot as her mother walked with the group.  She kept her head up and looked around for any sign of danger.  

"I entered it with the farwalkers who last visited the Great Valley.  I remained in the areas others avoided since I wasn't sure how folks would be at first.  There are many areas in the Great Valley where one can be in and not be seen." Mim said

Cayso remained thoughtful, trying to help watching for any danger that may arise, but he couldn't avoid listening to Cyrix and Mim's conversation, so he whispered to Ecco - "I bet they'll go crazy if I ever tell them I've been inside the Great Valley." - Cayso smiled as he turned back to see the surroundings, trying to see the Land of Mists.

Cyrix smiled and said "That's a good idea. At least until you learned where everything was and knew some of the residents."

Spike hummed happily as he walked all the while looking for some more green food.

Onyx continued to fly ahead scanning the air and the ground for any signs of danger before it could happen.
