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

Great Lake

Turio and Donna goes in the water and with Turio's help get into the tunnel then they get into the surface climbing out the water in the cave "It pretty is it? I think it is and it hidden from outside" Turio looked at Donna.

----

Trihorn looked at the waterpool "Looks like your little sister and Turio found a good hiding place I can't see them anywhere"

Donna looks around in awe.  "Even I have never seen a place like this!"

----------

Guan suddenly looks over the rocks to the waterpool, seeing nobody around there.  "Oh no...  She hasn't learned how to swim in deep water yet!  I need to go over and check it out!  Watch my back."  He slinks out from behind the rocks and heads down the hill quickly and quietly...

Trihorn follows Guan

"It is great, nice and dry as well" Turio smiled

Donna shakes herself dry, drenching Turio a little.  "Oops...  Perhaps not too dry anymore."

----------

Guan reaches the waterhole, looking as best as he can into the water for any sign of his youngest sister.  Seeing nothing that looks like Donna, it relieved and frightened him at the same time.  Where could she have gone? he thought.  He could only wonder.

Trihorn arrived and looked as well seeing in the water a opening "Hey Guan I think she must of gone in that with Turio, it looks like some type of small tunnel to a cave, now that a hiding spot" Trihorn smirked

---

Turio shakes himself dry "Doesn't matter, I am a swimmer" He said to Donna

Guan notices the opening underneath the water.  "I hope there's air down there," he muttered.  "It looks too small for me to fit."

----------

Donna lies down and looks around some more.  "To tell the truth, this game is going on a little longer than I thought.  I wonder if everyone else feels this bored."

Turio picked up a shining stone the shows it to Donna "I say that no true about being boried, look at this" Turio shows her the clear stone.

---

Trihorn looked at Guan "I am sure there is... lets get back to our hiding spot before Ducky finds us" Trihorn suggested.

Cera saw Spike near by her hidding spot in the log seeing Ducky also near she keeps hidden in the log just keeping inside it and out of sight of Ducky or Spike hoping they move away.

Spike continues to munch away until the bush was finally bare.  His hungry eyes catch a freshly green patch of grass at the opening of the log.  He moves to the patch of grass...

----------

Guan sighs and nods.  "Fine, but we'll just have a better look in this area from our hiding spot to see if Donna comes out of the underwater hole."  He turns off back to their hiding place, slow enough for Trihorn to follow.

----------

Donna looks at the stone in awe.  "What is it?  I have never seen that before either."

"I do not know but it pretty, I might keep it. Should I find another for you?" Turio asked Donna.

"No thank you," replied Donna, looking around at the small cave.  "It just looks so pretty where it is in the cave, I don't think I'd wanna disturb it."

"Oh I see... I understand what you mean" Turio said to Donna "you think Ducky will be able to find us here?" Turio asked

---

Trihorn looked at Guan "Wonder what this Great Lake will be like"

"I don't know," Donna answered.  "If she knows of this place, she'll probably figure out someone's down here."

----------

Guan shrugs.  "From what I heard, it's probably bigger than the lake where I used to live.  We called it 'Sky Blue Water', because it was the exact same color as the sky.  It took us a while to figure out which is the lake and and which is the sky.  It sure was beautiful..."

Zila walks up behind them "Still playing the game kids?"

"Yeah" Trihorn nods looking at him.

"About the Great Lake I don't know much myself but it does have some thing that makes it so special. But I heard of that Blue Lake... but when I came across the place with my son it was muddy and sticking as well" Zila said to Turio and Guan

"I wouldn't be surprised," replied Guan.  "When the Great Earthshake came, it turned our beautiful lake into a muddy deathtrap.  My uncle was pretty sure that most of our herd was taken under the sinking mud.  That was why we moved in the first place."

"Well about a herd of Spikethumbs, I did meet quite a lot of them at a small lake not far from the mud trap, they the ones that warned me and my son about it and becareful to where we walk." Zila said to Guan "That was a quite a bit back"

"We did have some neighboring herds of spikethumbs a certain distance from mine," Guan said after a thought.  "I'm surprised they didn't leave the area, since there was no longer any fresh water."

"If therer was neighbours then there must of been a big mixute of herds then they was staying at a large river the flowed fresh water from the mountians in the distance. It was much like this place but more open and larger with mutiple fresh water rivers. I would say there was Spikethumbs of all types of herds there and I recall some with simlair tail markers to you, Odoy and your sisters." Zila said to Guan explaining what he remembered

Guan could only stare, his mouth hanging open.  Could someone from his own herd have survived and mixed with their neighbors? he thought.  They were told before to try and regroup on one side of the muddy lake so they could join the migrations to the Great Valley, but perhaps those that were separated from his family found it impossible to meet across the lake or they found it safer just to live with the neighboring herds, who would often greet them when either side visits.

Guan finally broke his own silence.  "I'd had a guess about that, but there was so much confusion during the Earthshake, it was hard to figure out what happened to the others.  I don't know if Uncle Odon thought about it either."

"Well I hope that good news for you and Odoy" Zila smirked

"Odoy? who Odoy?" Trihorn asked and Zila realised he slipped up
