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

"Any questions you have?" Mim asked looking at Ecco.

"I know of some plants that should help Racnar, most of them are here in the Great Valley." She paused for a moment or 2, "There is 1 that I may have to go elsewhere to get if it is not here.  But I can gather the ones here easily enough." She said.

Ecco laid one hand on his friend¥s shoulder. He looked over to Mim. No thanks, I am okay. It¥s just, Cayso told me alot about his brother, but he never told me about his illnes. I am very sad to hear about that. But if you know plants, which might help him, I think me and Cayso would be very thankful. He patted Cayso one last time at the shoulder and went inside the hot water again. Hey there, he said to Racnar and smiled. How are you?

Racnar turned his head to where Ecco is and replied with a smile: "Very relaxed. This water is great... I bet there must be firewater very deep below us, keeping this water warmer than normal."

Cayso saw Ecco entering the water and told Mim - "When I met Ecco, I was looking for my herd and... I know he has his own problems, that's why I never told him about Racnar's illness until now. He worries too much, and I didn't want to give him another reason to be sad." - Cayso sighed and said - "since my brother seems to be fine, you should go relax for a bit too. I guess that to go plant-hunting may be tiresome, and I don't want you to overdo yourself after what you are doing for Racnar."

Cyrix smiled at what Racnar had said.
"well Racnar, we here in the valley try to keep our minds open to the possibility that not everything is as it seems. My personal favorite saying is this: Your eyes can deceive you...don't always trust them."

Longtail then blinked his eyes open and yawned.
"H-hey uncle...I'm hungry. What's to eat?" asked Longtail not yet aware he could fully speak again.

Mim nods, "If you are sure.  But I do want to go at least once before you leave the valley." Mim said.  "Maybe have you come along so in case you see any plants outside the Great Valley." She said.

Littlefoot look over at Longail then at Cyrix, "What do you think he's ready for?" He asked.

"It sounds like a good idea, I'll go with you because I cannot come here as much as I want. And if we are in luck we may find all the plants we need." - Cayso replied to Mim.

 Meanwhile, Racnar commented. - "Your way of thinking makes much sense, I think I may understand it better with time. I think Cayso knows better, because he has befriended Leafeaters." - he saw Ecco and then listened to Longtail - "I agree, I am a bit of hungry too."

Indeed, there is firewater. That¥s what makes makes this place here so special. Ecco said.

Ruby listened to the conversation Ecco and Mim had. If you need any help with searching for plants, she said, then just let me know.

"All the help is good." - Cayso replied to Ruby with a smile.

"I knew it! it is the firewater the reason for this water..." - Racnar grinned, he then got serious for a sec, feeling a pain that lasted for a few seconds on his chest, smiling again after that to not alarm the others. - "I have always wished to become as strong as my father, so Cayso will not have to live worrying about me".

Cayso rubbed gently over Racnars head. Not to fast, that he doesn¥t scare him. You will, Ecco said with a smile. I am pretty sure.

Alright, Ruby said. Do we want to ge then? Or do we want to stay some more time?

Cayso thought for a sec before replying - "Well, since Mim knows how those plants look like, and since I haven't seen Racnar feeling bad, we may wait for a sec... afterall, the others may want to come too".

Racnar took a deep breathe, as he still press his chest with a hand, he was happpy he is floating and nobody sees it for now. - "You are right, someday I will become as strong as my father."

Ecco noticed that Racnar was pressing his chest a bit. Are you alright? He asked with concern in his voice.

Ruby nodded. May be best.

Mim nodded, "we can wait if you are sure." She said looking at Cayso & nodding.

Littlefoot nodded to what Racnar said, "Very likely, and that may be what keeps the mud warm at the mud place." He said.

Cyrix smiled at Littlefoot.
"Well I would guess anything at this point, but just to be safe..." He turned his head to face Longtail for a moment and continued speaking "I'll give him a few sweet bubbles. Of course these will be the small ones."

"Awww..." groaned Longtail for a moment before he realized he was able to speak again. "Cool...the warm water did help!" It was then that Longtail noticed Racnar and smiled.
"Hi...what's your name?"

OOC: Oh, I didn't noticed GVG posted here, sorry, I was looking a chapter of the Zeta Project :DD .

"Don't worry Ecco, I'm ok." - he just gave a small smile, he then noticed the Flyer getting a bit closer to him - "My name is Racnar,  I am Cayso's brother... and you look like you got quite a fight, so does Cayso... did you guys fight or something?" - Racnar asked with curiosity, he then looked at Littlefoot - "And you are right, ehh, Littlefoot was your name?."

Cayso looked at Mim - "Just tell me when you are ready and we can go, I'll go to the water to check on my brother."

Longtail gave a short laugh and smiled.
"Well not really a fight...but more of a sparring match. To see who was stronger...but I think Cayso won. I don;t remember much after my uncle stopped the fight."

Cyrix frowned as he thought back to the fight itself. He honestly didn't care who won...just that everyone came out of it okay.

Littlefoot nods, "Yes, I"m Littlefoot."  LIttlefoot said smiling to Racnar, he then turned to Longtail, "I'm glad the hot water helped you to feel better." He said.  

Mim nods, "Any time is ok with me.  I wonder if the hot water ill help him." She said thinking of Racnar.

Ecco looked at Longtail then. Indeed, nice to hear your voice again, he said with a smile.

I¥ll go, when you two are ready to go, Ruby said.

"That means a lot, thanks Ruby" - Cayso said while going near the water to check on his brother and after noticing Longtail is talking again.

"I only hope you and my brother did not get near of killing yourselves in that sparring match" - Racnar said to Longtail, he then turned to Littlefoot taking out his tongue in a fun way - "Sorry, I'll try not to forget your name again."

Longtail laughed and sank further into the water.
"Nah...the fight was tough but I don't think Cayso and I would've really gotten that close to killing ourselves though."

Cyrix finally returned with the food he wanted for Longtailand a few of the others incase they were hungry as well, and he smiled as he set the food down. "Come and get it, if you need it."

"That's good, I bet you two got some wild fun." - Racnar replied, as his chest stopped hurting he said to Longtail, Ecco and Littlefoot - "We may go out to eat, I am hungry." - and he began swimming to the shore.

Cayso was waiting for his brother to come out of the water. - "I have some news: Mim knows of plants that can help you." - the bigger brother said with a smile.
