Journey To Longneck Island

Meanwhile, Archer had returned from the Mysterious Beyond to find that Guan had led Grandpa and Odon to the caves, seeing the shocked expressions on both their faces from what they had found out about Littlefoot.

Guan sees Archer outside the entrance and walks to him. He leads the Guardian away to talk with him. "You will never believe what just happened. Ali may have just became another wizard at the same level as Littlefoot. I think Grandfather Longneck is still trying to recover from the shock. I don't want to think what will happen to his grandmother once she finds out too... By the way, what happened back at the Great Wall?"

"I got into a fight with some creatures...the very kind I was chosen to fight," Archer answered. "Anyway, RipRap and I found a sharptooth that survived the attack from the monsters. RipRap had her transformed into a Rapton and took her to the sanctuary. So it would be best if no one visits the grounds until she either leaves or she somehow chooses not to attack any leaf-eaters that come."

"Another sharptooth in the Valley?! And I just got used to RipRap being here... This day is surely not as boring as we thought."

"I agree. For right now, no one else should know about the other Dinoton, and we spread this wizard situation no further." Archer looks up at the late afternoon sky and sighs.

That building is Sowarkard abbey , where I learned magic. You two will go there and learn to control your powers. The creature you saw will be one of your teachers, most likely you saw on owl. As For the voice, that was me. I was trying to keep mental contact with Ali, but I wasn't sure if I was succeeding, so I was making jokes and wisecracks.' Stripetail smiled broadly. "Ali lost conscuiousness for a while there, her body couldn't handle it anymore. She'll be fine through, just give her time to recover.

"I hope so" Littlefoot said looking at Ali

----

RipRap pulled out a army like jacket then one that had the Tri-foundation alliance system on it "Which one would you like?" He asked Terra.

It takes a moment for Grandpa to finally speak. "Littlefoot, may we talk outside in private?"

----------

Archer looks back at Guan. "How about you back inside and keep an eye on things, while I go speak with someone about all of this."

As Guan nods and walks back inside the cave entrance to stand next to his uncle, Archer turns and sprint off to the highest peak of the Great Valley. He stops at the mountain's base, looking to see if anyone's around, and then enters a small crevice in the side of the mountain.

The first one.' Terra Said, She put on the army jacket and looked at herself. This fits very well. thank you. She said to RipRap.
_
Ali groaned as she got up and saw littlefoot and Stripetail looking at her. Her mouth felt odd, she rolled her tongue around to moisten it. "I need water " She said weakly. Stripetail helped her walk towards the pond. ' How long did the kiss last?' She asked. "15-20 minutes" he replied. " It felt like an hour"ali said. "At first it felt strange, but i felt a connection between us. I really can't explain it. " Stripetail led her to the pool, where she drank her fill.

"Yes Grandpa" Littlefoot walks away with his Grandpa

----

RipRap looked at her "glad you like it... here are some base runs in this valley... don't try to hurt anyone that why I've been trying to give you food that not meat. you understand why don't you Terra" RipRap asked her.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #1366 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:08:07 PM

Grandpa leads Littlefoot outside the cave to a nearby clearing, where he turns and looks down at Littlefoot. "I...honestly don't know what to say, Littlefoot. I knew things in this Valley will be different, but i'd never know that you would become a wizard like Stripetail, and immortal too. But if you and Ali do go away to train as wizards, then what will happen to our herd? I always believe that many things that happen to us are natural in the Great Circle of Life. But now...I just don't know..."

----------

Archer moves his way into the darkness of the crevace, turning around many dark corners, until he reaches a chamber in the mountain, centered by a great ring of stone and jewels. He steps to the ring and kneels. "Oracle. I wish to speak with you."

The jewels of the ring began to glow, slightly warming up the temperature to a comfortable heat. Then a voice spoke, echoing throughout the chamber. "Speak as you wish, Guardian."

Archer stands back up, looking at the ring. "As you may have seen, Oracle, something has happened to several actual residents of the Valley. They may end up leaving the Valley to become sorcerors."

"I have seen what has happened," replied the Oracle, "and I too am concerned about the probability of what is to come, especially when you have just recently encountered your nemisis."

"You have said before that the five children that unlocked the gate are those chosen to help bring forth the Guardians to this world. What will happen when Littlefoot is gone?"

"We must only hope that the child does not leave before the time comes. Hopefully, the wizard will consider keeping him in the Valley until he is old enough to live on his own. If not...then we must try once more to bring another Guardian into this time as soon as possible. I may have found another candidate for the task, but this unexpected haste may cause more harm than good. We will only find what will happen next from Stripetail."

"Grandpa... I don't want to leave the valley... it my home always will..." Littlefoot looked up at his Grandpa "I wouldn't leave it for anything... I don't think Ali would too. this is our home" Littlefoot said to him quite sure what he saying to his grandpa.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #1368 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:26:18 PM

Grandpa manages to smile some. "I know how much you and Ali want to be here with your family and friends. I also know that herd will be different with you being a wizard. I just hope this difference will turn out well."

----------

"I will call you when the time for the next Guardian to arrive comes," the Oracle states. "Until then, you have friends to take of..." The jewels dim to darkness, leaving Archer alone in the chamber.

Archer takes the conversation to heart and leaves the cave, exiting the crevice a few minutes later. Unsure of what to next, he travels back up to the sanctuary to think over a cup of tea.

Threehorn · **Reply #1369 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:32:06 PM

"Grandpa I will try to be normal as possible... I didn't mean to touch that red stone... I did hear from RipRap it was placed in the most choosen place for the purest of hearts to touch..." Littlefoot said remembering RipRap's words.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #1370 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:42:09 PM

Grandpa lowers his head to Littlefoot's level. "You do have a very pure heart, Littlefoot. If that stone was meant to be touched by the purest of hearts, then it was not your fault that you did touch it. As Archer had said once, that sometimes fate throws a few curve balls your way...but I'm still not sure what that means."

----------

Archer reaches the sanctuary as sees RipRap and Terra talking in the kitchen. He then reenters his room to see that his cup of tea is still a little warm, so he drinks and sits down on his bed in thought.

Threehorn · **Reply #1371 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:44:13 PM

"Yeah I guess your right Grandpa. Maybe it was there for me to touch." Littlefoot nuzzeld his head against Grandpa's "Can I go see if Ali is ok?"

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #1372 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:50:24 PM

Grandpa nuzzles back. "Of course."

----------

After finishing his cup, Archer gets up and walks to the kitchen, calmly pouring a cup of tea. He looks at RipRap and Terra just before leaving, walking back out to the ledge to watch the sun slowly start to sink towards the horizon.

----------

Guan and Odon were whispering amongst themselves before they chose to leave the cave, passing Grandpa and Littlefoot as they left.

"I'm going to go check on your sisters," Odon said. "I expect you to be back at the nest by nightfall. You have some training to do tomorrow."

"I'll be home in time for supper, Uncle Odon," Guan replied.

Odon nods and leaves into some trees.

Threehorn · **Reply #1373 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:57:41 PM

"Hi Guan!" Cera comes up to him with Trihorn "Wow your in dinoton form! I would like to feel how to be a dinoton threehorn"

"Yeah looks pretty neat" Trihorn replied "How can we give it a try?"

Sten walks up behind them "I could give a hand" They both jumped around glaring at him. "Ok I see sneeking up wasn't so good., well like my help or not?"

"Yeah!" they both said.

"Here push the button on each of these cubes then put these jackets on afterwards.

"Sure" Cera said and Trihorn nods both press a button on their cubes in a flash they was triceratons and put the jackets on "Wow talk about weird... standing on two feet and having claw hands too" she looked at them then at Guan "What do you think?"

Sten looked at the two "Just don't misuse it or I will do something about it"

"Right" Trihorn nods "We won't"

Ali Finished drinking and sighed. "Mr. Stripetail, do Littlefoot and I Have to leave the Valley , now that we're wizards?' "You're not a wizard Ali. You are a witch, or sorceress as witches are sometimes called. And neither of you are considered full wizards yet, because you have not been trained." Stripetail sensed the Oracle's presence. 'But you don't need to leave the valley, at least for a few years. You are both too young at this point to be admitted, in order to be admitted to Sowarkard Abbey, you cannot be younger than ten years of age. Since you both are only seven, you'll have to wait 3 years before you can be admitted." So we can stay?' Ali said, joy showing on her face. "Yes you can, for the next 3 years at least" Stripetail replied. "Great, I'm going to tell Littlefoot." Ali said. "I'm feeling better now that I've gotten something to drink. And no, I'm not going to kiss him again."She looked back at Stripetail ." I don't want to see those scary pictures again." "Ali, you won't even if you do kiss him like before. The transfer only happens once."Stripetail reassured her. "well, I'm not going to take that chance." Ali replied. She walked away from Stripetail, towards the Longneck nest. Stripetail spoke "Alright Oracle, what do you want? I'm not going to take the children to be trained right away, they're too young. I am aware that those creatures have shown up, and they will be dealt with."

Littlefoot looked around for Ali then sees her "Ali, I've been looking for you. I was wondering that we could wait for a long while before this training of magic.

---

RipRap looked at Terra after explaining the basics of his reasons of giving her food that not real meat and the food that ground from trees and ground. "You see a Rapton can eat other things then meat to survival. Well there is one more thing that you can try, it called choclate. it the most sweetest and tasty thing even, more better then meat I might add, comes from the human world Earth in my dimension. here try some" RipRap gives Terra the choclate out of it's wrapper. "try it, you'll love it"

Nick22 · **Reply #1376 on:** April 08, 2005, 04:31:25 PM

"Mr. Stripetail said that we don't have to leave for at least 3 years, until we are ten years old." Ali said with a smile. In the meantime, we can we try to keep our magic a secret from the others? I'm not sure how they'll handle it."

Threehorn · **Reply #1377 on:** April 08, 2005, 04:41:41 PM

"I agree Ali, I don't think we should tell them. But this leaving home idea... it kind of well I don't want to leave Grandpa or Grandma... they would be worried all the time if we left in 3 years... I don't want them to worry in pain" Littlefoot said to Ali

----

RipRap sat back wondering what Terra's thought would be on the taste of choclate

Nick22 · **Reply #1378 on:** April 08, 2005, 04:45:52 PM

Well, we'll be with Mr. Stripetail and Eva, so we will be taken care of. And besides we'll be with other wizards and witches so we won't be alone. Ali Looked at Littlefoot. "Um Littlrefoot I was wondering about the kiss we shared. Um .... did you er like it? Because er um well.. I kinda did." Ali said said, turning red in the face.

Threehorn · **Reply #1379 on:** April 08, 2005, 04:56:08 PM

"Well... erm..." Littlefoot turned red "I kinda did too" Littlefoot said shyly

RipRap thought to himself "Wonder if she will try it... just trying to teach a raptor new tricks isn't what I would call standard but when it comes to her being the last of the pack I would like to help her out..."
