LBT: A Life-saving Journey

She had been following the group since they entered the Mysterious Beyond..and although at first she wanted to try and ambush them...seeing them enter the caves and drive out one sharptooth and capture two others...she was highly impressed...even if they were leaf eaters.

She stepped forward again. This was irritating...apparently one of them were starting to feel uneasy, and that feeling spread quickly...too quickly for Hunter's tastes. And with there being a fully grown longneck in the crowd now...attacking would just get her killed faster.

She noticed however that the child tied to the female rainbow face was sick. But as easy as a meal he could be for her...she shook her head and said to herself 'I swore to never eat anything that couldn't fight back. So the kid lives today.'

Hunter then sat down still behind her cover and waited for the group to make the next move.

Cyrix continued to look about the group trying to see if anything was going to attack. He sighed as he said, "Perhaps our feelings are unfounded and we should keep going."

P.S. For a look at what Hunter and the Alimon race looks like here is a link:

Alimon species

And yes I am aware I posted this somewhere in another thread...but I figured it would help explain the story.

"Maybe, and yet perhaps not. I've learned to never distrust such feelings, they can sometimes be correct." Mim said thinking to herself. Then she turned to the fastbiters present, "What do you folks think. Do you smell anything that is not ordinary, or may be a danger, more sharpteeth hiding perhaps, or something else?" Mim said asking them.

"What is going on?" Diver asked looking around and making sure she still had a good hold of the vine.

Blue eye starts sniffing the air to see if he can find any reason behind the uneasy feelings some are having, if he can smell anything that may be a possible danger.

Scarface raised up his sniffer. He sniffed for some time and anyway he thought that he would smell a... feminine fastbitter. But he forgot that thought fast. He didn¥t want to fight against a feminine fastbitter. He got a bad feeling, thinking of it. So he didn¥t say anything.

Ecco sniffed too. I also have such a feeling, like there is anywhere dangour. Maybe one or two of us should go back and look if there is anyone in the cave, or who hides, he suggested.

After Littlefoot ate some greenfoot he went to Ali. It¥s good to have your mother now in our group. We¥ll be much saver now before sharpteeth.

Ducky went to Mim and asked: Is Longtail,... doing fine?

Kor · **Reply #763 on:** June 21, 2008, 08:49:40 PM

Blue eye looked in the rough direction where he thought he may small a female fast biter or sharptooth type, but was unable to see her. He was glad Ali's mother was here since with the group with so many wounded he wasn't sure how well they'd do against her.

Mim looked back at Longtail and then back to Ducky, "He seems to be about like before, but is a bit thirsty." She said, leaning down to be closer to eye level to Ducky and patting her gently, "I'm sure we'll get the Night Flowers soon, especially with Ali and her mother here." She then looked between Longtail and Ducky, "Would you like to see how he is yourself?" She asked.

Chiletrek · **Reply #764 on:** June 21, 2008, 10:43:16 PM

Cayso was frowning - "I agree with Ecco, I cannot stop having this eerie sensation, like someone is observing us." - but that's was all the information he could get, he tried to use his sniffer again and began glaring at one spot in between the group. He thinks that maybe there is someone stalking the group, he then realized that Blue-Eye was looking at the same spot and the little fast-bitter felt a bit of relax, after all they are in a large group and he was not alone about this happening.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #765 on:** June 21, 2008, 11:31:44 PM

After several minutes of waiting, and listening...she finally decided that attacking the group would serve no useful purpose and she slowly walked into view of Blue-eye.

She stopped after a few steps and said "Before you ask...yes, I've been stalking your little group, and I've decided to help that little flyer on the rainbow faces back. He seems sick."

Cyrix walked over to the new comer and said "He is my nephew, and until we can fully trust you, you won't be moving near this group."

Hunter scoffed and said "I could've attacked you anytime since you came out of the cave. Don't worry about me attacking."

Mim nods, "She does have a point, though the rest of you do as well." She says, thinking a bit, and looking off to one side for a bit, "We'd be glad to have the help, and to satisfy both the uneasiness of the group, which I assume you can understand, and your willingness to help may be possible. Perhaps you can help with some scouting, seeing if there is any other sharpteeth nearby, & also with the other fastbiters in the group keep on the lookout for some food that you are able to eat, crawlers and stuff like that. Just a few ideas I had." Mim said.

Blue-eye nodded, "Those seem a good ideas, those of us not to badly hurt or not at all can do those, & help protect the group. & the flyer traveling with you scouts good as well, as well as looking for a good sleeping place." He said.

Diver was unsure and afraid of the new sharptooth and did her best to try to keep as close to Mim and holding onto the vines which tied Longtail to Mim's back as she could.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #767 on:** June 23, 2008, 04:17:43 PM

Hunter took a step back from the group and said to Cyrix "Look...I just want to help your nephew...I'll do whatever you ask of me. I'll scout..and I'll take point. Just let me help."

Cyrix looked unconvinced as he asked "Why, why do you want to help at all? If anything you should be trying to eat us."

Hunter winced at that statement and thought about her reasons for helping them. After a few moments she sighed and said "I don't know why I want to help...I just know I have to help, and that's wether you like it or not!"

Cyrix nodded his head and led Hunter to the front of the herd, but as they walked past Mim, Longtail squeaked "H-hunter....friend...t-thank...you."

Chiletrek · **Reply #768 on:** June 23, 2008, 05:51:20 PM

Cayso heard what Longtail said and he couldn't believe it - "this is crazy, a Flyer and an Alimon friends?, well maybe I shouldn't be that amazed to see something like this." - And he let escape a little smile, still keeping some distance from the newcomer.

Kor · **Reply #769 on:** June 23, 2008, 07:27:08 PM

Mim listened to what Cyrix and the others said. "Unusual perhaps, but having some fastbiters traveling with a group of mainly green food eaters is unusual in it's self, and why not one more. We could still keep watch and it seems Longtail trusts her." Mim said looking back at Longtail then at Cyrix, "What do you think, and how about the rest of you?" She asked looking around at the others.

Chiletrek · **Reply #770 on:** June 23, 2008, 09:04:05 PM

"It is fine for me..." - the kid Fast-bitter replied - "... the more help we can get the better." - He nodded in approval while remaining between his friend Ecco and Hunter, much closer to the Swimmer.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #771 on:** June 24, 2008, 01:31:03 AM

Cyrix looked to Mim and said "I suppose you do have a very good point, but still...I'll be keeping my eyes on this one." he made no attempt to hide what he had said from Hunter.

He then said "I'll be right behind you Hunter...just in case...for the others safety."

Hunter just gave a small smile and said "Okay, whatever you think is fair...I just want to help."

Onyx on the other hand shouted "I don't believe this for a moment! If we get ambushed who's to say she won't turn on us...or lead them to us!"

Kor · **Reply #772 on:** June 24, 2008, 08:54:50 PM

Mim nods, "I can understand. I guess time will tell. If often does." She said. She then looked at the others, "Are you folks tired or should we set out? We still need to find a safe source of good water and the night flowers." Mim said.

"I'm not tired, but I've not been walking, much." Diver said.

Nimrod · **Reply #773 on:** July 02, 2008, 03:18:54 PM

Ducky nodded and climped up to her sister. She looks at longtail, patting him gently on the head. "Do you need any water? Mim said you are thirsty. I can bring you some if you want.

It¥s okay Cayso. I don¥t think the raptor has got something bad in mind. I don¥t know why, but I don¥t feel like it. I¥ll go to her and talk with her a bit, to get known her better.

Chiletrek · **Reply #774 on:** July 02, 2008, 09:17:01 PM

Ecco knew what Cayso was thinking, even if the the group saw that the kid fast-bitter agreed with the coming of the newcomer, Ecco knew that Cayso was not going to trust her so easily - "Let me go with you" - Cayso followed Ecco, showing a smile he began walking so he can be closer to Hunter and try to see what she is planning to do, and to make sure Ecco would not be in danger.

Kor · **Reply #775 on:** July 02, 2008, 11:53:10 PM

"Be careful." Mim said to Ecco. Mim looked around, hoping they would find water soon for Longtail and the young ones traveling with them.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #776 on:** July 03, 2008, 12:46:09 AM

Hunter noticed Cayso and Ecco walking over and she sighed...it seemed more of the group either didn't trust her, or they were coming to get to know her better, but she was betting on the former as opposed to the latter, as that's what most thought about her anyway.

She looked up at Cyrix with a quizzical look, and when he nodded his head she walked out to meet Cayso and Ecco with Cyrix still watching her from behind. She then sat down and asked "So...what can I help you two with?"

Nimrod · **Reply #777 on:** July 03, 2008, 05:51:40 AM

We,.. just want to get known you better. You don¥t have to feel like our captive(prisoner), we just need time to see that we can really trust you. He reached out a hand. My name is Ecco, what¥s yours?

OCC: I think they don¥t know the name of Hunter yet. Do they?

Chiletrek · **Reply #778 on:** July 03, 2008, 05:14:54 PM

OOC: So far I think only Longtail knows her, but since the Flyier speaks so weakly due to his condition, I don't think all heard the name. So I bet we don't know the Alimon's name.

IC:
Cayso was standing beside Ecco, waiting for a response of the newcomer with a emotionless look in his face, ready for everything, but really hoping she would not represent a danger for the group and the quest for the Night Flowers.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #779 on:** July 03, 2008, 06:29:04 PM

Hunter sat down and smiled as she said "Your group has nothing to fear from me. I'm only here to help the flyer. And before you ask...yes I do know him."

Cyrix scoffed and said "How? I've never seen you in the valley before.."

Hunter smiled and said "We met once..in the Mysterious Beyond, and we helped each other...that's how."

Cyrix then looked to Cayso and Ecco to see what they thought about Hunters words.
