Dante joined his friends, leaning up against the tree, then letting his head rest on Hunter.
"No fooling. This tree feels..."
He never finished his thought, as he had just drifted off into sleep...

Grandpa Longneck had to give a small laugh as he saw the trio falling asleep one after the other leaning against the Tree of Life. He smiled as he watched the others start to walk over as well.

Smork walked over and placed his hand on the bark. Indeed, it had a warm, soothing feel to it.
"Thanks for showing us this place." Snork said to Grandpa Longneck.
He walked inside and lied down, ready for some sleep.

Strafe walked in as well and sat down next to Kaga. This place seemed so peaceful and quiet. It was almost magic. Despite the calming atmosphere, Strafe wasn't tired yet. The sun was just setting over the mountains and Strafe usually stayed up later. She hoped that she could talk to Kaga or something.

Littlefoot yawned tiredly and said, "Well, I guess I'll see ya later."

"Take care of yourself, Littlefoot!" Strafe called after him.

Littlefoot said to his grandfather, "Let's go home."

Mim looked at the sleepers and some of the other newcomers, "I do hope they can get the rest they need." She said.

"I just hope we don't have any nonsense like we just did. Let those mean sharpteeth stay out of the valley." Cera said, annoyed at the mean sharpteeth having attacked.

Grandpa Longneck nodded to Littlefoots request and said "Good night all. I hope you get the rest you need." He then turned and looked at his grandson and said "Yes. let's head back to our nest so you too can get your sleep."

Longtail in a half awakened state mumbled "G'night...everyone." And promptly fell back to sleep.

Dante cracked an eye open, nodding at Littlefoot.
"Laters."
He yawned, then fell back asleep...

"Maybe we should go and get rest ourselves." Mim said.

"Yea, and before my dad starts to yell or bellow." Cera said, not liking it when her dad yelled or bellowed, a thing he seemed to do even if he had no reason to do so.

Kaga was tired but wasn't ready to fall asleep yet. He noticed Strafe looking at the sunset and asked, "Is something wrong?"
He sensed that something was bothering her.

Strafe replied saddly, "I thought we could finally be happy here, safe and sound. How did Virgil find us?"

After everything they had been through together to reach this save haven, even the Great Valley was not safe anymore.

"We're not going to be truely safe until we get rid of Virgil and his gang." the iguanodon continued.

Dante, one eye cracked open, looked over at Strafe and Kaga.
"Guys...I'm sorry. If I hadn't come here, then you could have been happy, without worrying about people like my brother..."

Longtail was busy dreaming...but it was quickly turning into a nightmare.

He was running...but from what he couldn't see. He took several steps and stopped. He turned to see what it was and all that could be seen were two red eyes staring back at him, and Longtail's first reaction was to run, but he stood his ground.

He couldn't hear anything, but that worked just as well...but the eyes looked familiar...the figure started to show itself and it was...Dante...and Virgil...Now Longtail was feeling scared as his best friend pinned him to the floor and his brother moved in to finish the job.

Before Virgil did however Dante just grinned and then laughed as a voice Longtail couldn't place said "Never trust a sharptooth...they only befriend you to stab you."

Longtail then woke up with a scream and looked around in fear.

Dante started from the noise, ending up on his back. Sitting up, he looked at Longtail, concern apparent in his eyes.

"What's wrong? You look like you've just seen the demon or something."
He said, worry tinting his voice...

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #292 on:** September 12, 2008, 06:39:00 PM

Longtail was breathing heavily and turned as he heard Dante's voice...he immediately locked onto his friends eyes, and Longtail could see that they were filled with concern, but that sleep story really shook his nerves.
Longtail quickly stood and said in a flurry of words.
"I just need a drink..I-I'll be right back." He then turned around and walked away trying hard not to run.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #293 on:** September 13, 2008, 12:37:58 AM

Dante looked after the retreating Longtail, then looked around and said...
"Something's not right here. I'm gonna go talk to him."
He said, standing up and following his friend...

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #294 on:** September 13, 2008, 01:22:05 AM

Longtail walked at a brisk pace until he reached a small pond. Almost without hesitation he dunked his head into the cold water and sat there for a moment looking at the bottom of the pond thinking.
'Why....why did I have that sleep story, and why was Dante working with his brother...and more importantly what was that voice I heard speaking to me...'

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #295 on:** September 13, 2008, 01:46:35 PM

Dante walked up to where Longtail was, then he asked...
"Are you...okay? You seem really upset by that sleep-story you had..."
He trailed off, hesitantly...

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #296 on:** September 13, 2008, 03:14:39 PM

Upon hearing Dante's voice directly behind him, Longtail drew his head out of the water so fast that he flipped himself over and onto his back.
He then said...
"Dante...uhh...yeah...I'm okay, I think." He then asked "I know you trust me Dante, but...would you...betray me....and work with...Virgil if he....well..gave you an offer you couldn't refuse?"

Longtail felt bad about asking, but since Dante brought up the sleep story, Longtail figured he may as well get some answers.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #297 on:** September 13, 2008, 03:39:28 PM

Dante shook his head.
"The only offer he could make that I wouldn't refuse would be my life for the rest of yours. There isn't a chance that I would ever betray you guys. You're my family, and those who betray their families are the lowest of the low."
He said, eyes full of resolve...

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #298 on:** September 13, 2008, 04:32:43 PM

Longtail smiled and said to Dante...
"That's good to know...but I'm still just a little shaken. I just need some time to myself...I promise I'll be okay."
Longtail then rolled onto his stomach and jumped into the air and flew off towards the Thundering falls.
'I'm sorry Dante...I trust you...but something just isnt right.' thought Longtail to himself.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #299 on:** September 13, 2008, 09:06:35 PM

Strafe ran up to Dante and Longtail and asked, "Is everything alright?"
She then spoke to Dante, "It's alright. We don't blame you for Virgil."
She then said to Longtail, "Don't be afraid of Virgil. That's what he wants. He's just a bully and nothing more. You saw how he ran away when someone bigger than him came along. Now come on, let's get back and get some sleep."

She was worried about Longtail and his habit to get himself into trouble. She worried that he may do something foolish.
