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

Cyrix slowly followed Ali as she stepped forward towards the night flower. He couldn't help but smile...they were all so close to what they were after. He almost hear his nephews voice again. He then asked "Just take your time Ali. No need to rush, we have as much time as you need."

Cayso felt happy, the Night Flowers are closer to be found with every new step and everybody is willing to continue: "We can do this, we can really do this..." - Cayso thought and he couldn't keep himself from giving a big smile of determination - "... just hold on some little more my brother.".

Cera heard what the others were talking about. She walked over to Ali¥s mother and looked up to her: Eeh, ma¥am, would you mind,.... if I rest on your back, for a little while, she asked and tried to smile a bit.

Ali's mother bent her head closer to Cera, "No, I don't mind.  You ready?" She asked and assuming Cera wanted a ride then tried to lift her with her mouth like she would Ali, to put her onto her back to rest like she would when she gave Ali a ride on her back.

"I hope you'll enjoy the ride, the view from that height is something unique." - Cayso told Cera, but he really doesn't know her so he wasn't sure that comment was a good idea at all.

Woah, Cera was surprised that Ali¥s mother wouldn¥t mind. After she landed on her back, she began to stretch and laid herself down for a rest. She didn¥t really hear Caysos comment, because she was very tired. But she smiled a bit about it and thought: Yes, I¥ll.

Cayso kept on walking, taking a look everywhere to try to see for any possible dangers, but he also tried to take a look at both Ecco and Scarface as he thinks. - "If we are going to meet Scarface's herd, then I should be focused a bit on Scarface himself... I just don't want any more fights, I only want to finally reach those flowers". - Cayso kept a very serious look, he will not be feeling any kind of victory until he can be back with his herd with the night flowers.

Ali kept in the lead heading towards the nightflowers.  "I hope we don't encounter them.  They may or may not be friendly." She said.  

"I just hope we can get the night flowers and everyone get back where they are from with no troubles, I certainly do,  yup." Diver said.

"Things are going great so far." Mim said. looking around her a bit.

Cyrix stopped for a moment as he heard Longtail struggling to speak. He turned to Mim who still held Longtail strapped to her back and asked "What is Longtail trying to say?"

Longtail was gasping for air...trying to say something important. "N-n....night....f-f-flowers.....close...." was all he could manage before falling silent again.

Comment now, hurry, Littlefoot said. We don¥t have much time left for him.

Meanwhile, Ducky padded Longtail gently on the head.

Cayso also heard what Longtail whispered but as he saw Littlefoot trying to hurry his pace he decided to remain closer to him, just in case. - "If Littlefoot can find the flowers now it would be great, but I cannot risk if he find something unfriendly." - Cayso thought as he got closer to the Longneck.

Diver patted Longtail to try to calm him.  "He said the nightflowers are near, he certainly did, yup." She said.

"They are very close. We are nearly there." Ali said agreeing with Longtail as she nodded and looked ahead.  

"We have to maintain some alertness & safety as well as speed.  We can't go running to the nightflowers blindly." Mim said looking at some others.

Cyrix sighed and said, "Yes you are right Mim, as close as we are, rushing in will only get us into more trouble. I just can't shake the feeling that something or someone is going to try and stop us."

"I hope that will not be the case..." - Cayso replied - "... but I have learned to trust in what Rainbowfaces say, we should stand in the ready, for anything that may come for us."

Ecco raised his nose and sniffed in the air. So far no sign of danger, he said.

I agree with you Mim, Littlefoot said nodding. But we must try to be as fast as possible

"If we stay together and if we are fast enough we could make it with minimum danger I think." - Cayso commented, trying to remain as relaxed as he could. He then began thinking - "We cannot stop now, not when we are so close!" - he closed his hands, forming very firm fists, just not enough to cut himself with his claws.

"We can all rest once we get there." Ali's mother said. Keeping watch of the area ahead and looking around as well due to her higher vantage point then most had.

"Yes, that is certainly true, it is." Diver said.

Mim nodded to what some had said, "We can have both speed and safety if we are careful." She said while looking around to try to keep alert.

"I'd like to see what they look like." Blue-eyes said, sniffing the air now and then to try to use his nose to see if he could smell any smell like sharpteeth or anything out of the ordinary.

Cyrix remained hopeful that the Night flowers were close. He smiled at Mim and replied, "Well then, in that case we should be alright. I believe that none of the sharpteeth won't come this far inland for fear of the unknown here."

Longtail suddenly gasped as if seeing or hearing something that he couldn't explain. Knowing he was still tied to Mim he tried to move anyway while saying:
"s-stop...n-n-night...flowers. i-in...the f-field...ahead."

"I think we are close to where we were when we came here before." Ali said looking around a bit as they continued.

Ali's mother nodded, "The field where the night flowers grow is just ahead." She said, bending her head down a bit to speak to the others before straightening her neck again.  

"Good, then we can get what we need, we certainly can." Diver said nodding.

yeah...you are right, Littlefoot said and nodded. But I can¥t really tell. As we were here there was very much dust and it was dark.
