Littlefoot nods, "There are lots of caves here. Most folks here do not go into caves." He says looking at some of the others present, "Some of the grown ups can't even fit in some of the caves. What do you guys think, do you have any other ideas?" Littlefoot asked looking around at the others wanting to hear their ideas and thoughts.

"Well, I didn't want to walk all the way back to the caves because I only wanted to step here and say 'Hello' to Ecco" - Cayso looked at Ecco then at Littlefoot - "but now I want to remain as close as I can, so I can learn more about what is happening in here... if you don't mind of course. I may find a way to hide in bushes if possible, if not, then I'll go to the caves you mentioned."

"Well, in case you no know, big earthshake happened and it made fast water go faster". Petrie explained. "Adults going there to try to fix problem, but that all i know."

"Maybe the sheltering grass. There are likely lots of places to hide. I guess we have to be on the look out for them for you to use." Littlefoot said.

"Or..." said Longtail with an uncertain look on his face as he continued "We could have Cayso hide near the smoking mountain...I mean none of the grown-ups would dare go near that place!" He then waited to see what the others thought about his plan.

Mornai · **Reply #166 on:** March 20, 2008, 10:29:14 PM

"But what if smoking mountain explode?" Petrie asked. "Grown-ups no go there for a reason"

Mim walked around getting some healing leaves then went to an area to get some mud. She went lighter on getting healing leaves since she thought Cyrix may get some and she needed most of her hands to carry the mud with. She got some mud when she was not to far from where Ecco was since she didn't want it getting dry before she got there.

She walked along whistling a bit as she got the healing leaves, then the mud and then turned to head in the direction of where Ecco was.

Mamma swimmer continued walking along as Mama flier flew on to see what the cause of the sudden fast water. She saw that thundering falls had stopped. But flew on with the other fliers to see the cause of the fast water before going back to make a full report to the adults.

"Well, I will accept the decision you'll make because you all know the Great Valley far better than me" - Cayso replied with a smile, but then, his sniffer picked up something - "Ehh... speaking of Grown-ups, I think someone is coming, in that direction" - Cayso indicated the direction where Mim is.

Cyrix had done what Mim had said, but he honestly felt that he had more healing treestars than he needed, but he was sure Mim would have anything else covered, he then however stopped to pick up some mud, and various other items before heading back towards the river Mim had mentioned earlier to him. "I do hope the young one is safe and sound."

Longtail used his sniffer as well and knew immediately who Cayso was talking about...and he smiled as he said "Oh that's just my aunt Mim...I'm sure once we explain what's happened here she will let you stay!" He then tried calling out to her "Hey! Aunt Mim...over here!"

Grandpa longneck was sure that the cause of the fast water was going to be bad, but the fact that the Thundering falls had dried up made the situation much worse. He sighed as he walked past, and he said "We must hurry...we don't want a repeat of what happened before with the massive fire."

Kor · **Reply #170 on:** March 21, 2008, 03:07:45 AM

Littlefoot nodded, "I'm sure she'll understand." He said smiling.

Mim heard Longtail calling out and continued in the direction, "I see the rest of you made it over to Ecco." She said as she got close enough to call out herself. She paused momentarily as she saw Cayso a bit tense for a moment, looking at the others present, and seeing their reactions and more relaxed manner around Cayso she relaxed. "I would assume you already know this person?" She asked in a friendly manner, still holding the mud and a few healing leaves in her hands.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #171 on:** March 21, 2008, 03:11:56 AM

Longtail smiled and said "Yes...this Ecco's friend Cayso! And well we were hoping....he could..uhh...stay here for a while?" Longtail then looked around and said "Uhh...where's Uncle Cyrix...you and him are always together, so where is he?"

Nimrod · **Reply #172 on:** March 21, 2008, 06:54:30 AM

Ecco examined his ancle. He was far away from the others in his mind and thought about the situation: What if some grownups, like Threehorn would find out that Cayso is here? That wouldn¥t be good at all. I hope everything will turn out well.

I guess thats a good idea with the smoking mountains he said. Outside the valley are much more smoking mountains. I think Cayso knows how to react if a smoking mountain explode. He looked over to Cayso and give a short smile.

Mim walked over to have a look at Ecco's ankle. She looked at Longtail, "He should be here shortly. He went go get some healing leaves and some handy stuff to take care of Ecco's ankle, and some other folk's bruises." She said. Then she looked at Ecco next.

"HOw is your ankle feeling?" She asked then to Zaine and Longtail, "How are you two feeling?" She asked.

She walked, still holding the mud in one hand and a few healing leaves in the other. She looked first at Ecco's ankle, then at the areas where Zaine and Longtail were bruised.

Littlefoot got up and walked over to where Mim was, "Can I help?"He asked.

Mama flier continued to fly along. She saw what looked like the possible trouble and flew around it to be sure. Once she had done this for a bit of time to be sure she had the area looked over before she headed to where the others were.

She landed on Grandpa Longneck's back, so she'd be closer to the eye level of the larger adults and they could more easily hear her. Mama Swimmer walked up closer so she could more easily hear what the report would be.

"I see you've found Thundering Falls has stopped. But over there," She said pointing where she had seen what she was about to describe, " Is an area that looks like the last earthshake may have made an area that was holding back water fail. It looks like it had some large boulders, rocks and some dirt there that diverted most of the water so it would not all flow through like it is now." Mama Flier said.

Cyrix was so busy concentrating on getting his supplies to Ecco and the others that he actually walked past Cayso without even noticing him at all. Cyrix then said "Well I think I have enough of everything we need to help Ecco, Zaine and you too Longtail."

The little flyer was actually surprised that his uncle had walked right past a sharptooth without a single glance, but smiled devilishly and decided not to say anything about it. He then said "Thank you Uncle Cyrix...But I think we need to tend to Ecco's ankle first, he's right over there."

Cyrix nodded and said "Well looks like you got here first Mim..although I'm sure the large amount of healing leaves I'm carrying slowed me down as well."

Grandpa Longneck nodded and said "So all we have to do is recover the hole with more rocks and the fast water will go back to normal...right?" He still wasn't sure about that idea, but it was better than nothing.

Chiletrek · **Reply #175 on:** March 22, 2008, 02:52:00 AM

Cayso saw the Rainbowface passing without noticing him, and that surprised him, he saw Longtail and then Ecco, without knowing what to do... so he just smiled innocently.

Nimrod · **Reply #176 on:** March 22, 2008, 05:22:49 AM

That¥s strange, Ecco thought to hisself. He turned to Cayso and whispered: Seems like Cyrix is to busy to notice you. He giggled.

Kor · **Reply #177 on:** March 22, 2008, 02:45:41 PM

Mim nods. She takes care to put the couple of healing leaves she has next to Ecco's leg and the mud in another pile to one side so it will not get mixed in with the leaves. She looks at Littlefoot, "You can help to hand us the leaves, that should speed things up. Once we are done with Ecco's ankle we can then see if the other with bruises need any treatment. Ready to get started?" She asked Ecco, Littlefot, Cyrix, and any others.

"I am." Littlefoot said, "Is everyone else?" He asked.

Mama Swimmer listens to Grandpa Longneck, "Do you think that would solve our problem?" She asked with concern in her voice as she looked at Grandpa Longneck, then at some of the other growups present.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #178 on:** March 22, 2008, 03:24:05 PM

Cyrix put the healing leaves down next to Mim's pile and said "So is there anything else I need to know?" Longtail smiled and said "Maybe...if you look closely enough, you may find something surprising." He then laughed and said "Look around you."

Cyrix was confused and did as his nephew asked and looked around for a moment or two, and then said "Oh we have a sharptooth visitor..." Then his eyes widen and he said "A SHARPTOOTH!!!"

Longtail laughed again...and said "It's okay uncle...he's a nice sharptooth...like Chomper!"

*Twilight then spoke up*

Twilight : It's worth the try right, we must act quick! All options of fixing the fast water must be taken and fufilled, for the sake of the children. Then we can worry about the Thundering Falls.
