Mim shook her head. "I saw him go beyond the border into the Mysterious Beyond, similar to if one is caught in some sort of wind. I do hope he is ok." Mim said with concern in her voice.

"Yes, sometimes winds high up can surprise you if you are not careful, even sometimes not so high up." Rhyn said.

"Then everyone seemed to teleport away suddenly and no one was anywhere near where I was. I thought some maybe over at Ducky's, Diver & Spike's sleeping place but found only Diver, her friends her siblings & parents there. I heard Diver & her friends were planning on going to the Mysterious Beyond to see if a fastbiter friend of theirs has any information." Mim said.

"ff, fastbiters?" Shera said.

"Me no know about fastbiters being friends." Petrie said.

"Yes, Blue-eye and his herd are friendly, they helped us on our journey so we could find out families and since we helped blue-eye they made us members of their herd." Mia said.

"They are friendly, they certainly are." Diver said nodding.

"I was hoping since whatever happened to Longtail happened in the Mysterious Beyond, and that sky thing we saw was also in the Mysterious Beyond they may have some first hand information that we do not have." She said. "I know of a cave here, but the entrance is blocked with a rock, though Mia and I will be able to move it. Do you want to come, or look for Longtail here in the valley?" Mim asked looking at Cyrix.

Zaine was amazed be the size and strength of Ateo. He's grown much stronger since the incident with Korr. "Ateo how did you find us?" Once the fight began to intensify between Ateo and Longtail, Zaine shouted out. "Be careful Ateo! He's still Longtail! He's just been corrupted by some dark source, but he's still the same Longtail that fought against Korr along side you and me!"

OOC: I thought this roleplay had no connection to the Shadow Raptor roleplays.

"Ateo, do you think you can hold Longtail down for a while? Vylor and I will try to release him from this evil. We just need him physically immobilized." Argaya said, crouching down on one side of Longtail's body. Now here comes the tricky part. How to get past the defense. Vylor and Argaya began to focus, relaxing their body while strengthening their mental armor as they tried to probe into Longtail's mind. They were immediately hit by the nightmares, but not with enough force to hinder their progress. They searched the labyrinthine mind of Longtail for any sign of the original personality. On the outside, Vylor and Argaya became silent, their breathing shallow and steady.

"Um...Thanks," Spiral said, being careful to not put too much of his weight on Ruby due to the fact that he was bigger than she was. Abruptly, he noticed that something was missing, jarring him out of his running thought line..."Wait, where's my fighting stick?"

"Hang on, I'll go look for it," Kariya said, and ran back around to where Spiral had fallen, recognizable by the way his tracks ended there and the presence of a peculiarly shaped area of pressed-down grasses. Looking around, she found the stick - noticeably different from the others around there by the fact that it was almost perfectly straight, had a sharp end (which was wrapped tightly with a leaf) and had a distinctive darker color - and ran back to Ruby and her brother. "And you get mad at me for leaving mine laying around," she said, switching the pair of sticks she was now carrying between hands. She followed just behind her brother and Ruby.

Longtail being pinned to the ground continued to struggle to stand up and in his attempts clawed a the ground with his feet and claws and whipped at Ateo with his tail. He then cried out and said "Let me go! If you do perhaps I won't tear your throat out of your body! NOW LET ME GO!!!" He then continued to scratch and claw at the ground beneath him.

Cyrix sighed after a moment and replied "I'll come with you Mim. I...I don't want to be alone here anymore. Longtail is strong and smart...I'm sure he'll be okay until we meet again. Come let's not waste anymore time in this storm."

Mim nods, "It's not far, and once we're in the cave we can rest in there." She said. "I"m sure Longtail will be ok." Mim said hoping she can get Cyrix to feel better.

"Yes, he is smart like you say and very tough too." Diver said trying to help Cyrix to feel better.

"Getting out of this storm for while would be nice." Shera said.

"I concur." Mia said.

Rhyn landed nearby. "Not to safe to fly in a storm, since it may grow worst without warning.

Rhyn nodded agreeing with the others. She kept her long tail wrapped partly around herself so the wind would not blow it around. She also laid down low on Mia so the wind would have less chance of catching her wings and blowing her off if it should pick up.

"No fly in big blowy wind, my mommy say." Petrie said. "Me ride if it it ok." Petrie said.

"It's ok." Mim said and picked him up then looked at Cyrix. "Unless you'd rather carry him." She said to him.

Ruby reached the cave with Spiral and sat him down. Fighting Stick? Well, that¥s... ehm, ordinary.

Lillefot · **Reply #208 on:** August 01, 2008, 06:20:51 AM

OCC:( !? Shadow Raptor series!? And no, it has not. Refeer to "Dawn" discussion topic for questions.)

"Hey! Be careful with him!" Blueberry shouted at the newcomer.

Suddenly the light started to dissapear, and the cave got extremly cold.
Blueberry shuddered, held his arms close to his body, and looked around.
Wha... what's happening now? Why did it get so cold...?

-------------------------

"I don't know where the others have gone! And I can't see my grandparents anywhere.
...Cera's nest's not far from here, lets go there? Maybe they've gone over to them..." Littlefoot said to Chomper.

Nimrod · **Reply #209 on:** August 01, 2008, 06:41:09 AM

Okay. Alright. Should be best, Chomper said and nodded in agreement.

((OOC: WHOOPS!!! so sorry bout that! disregard my last post then! BTW, the Shadow Raptor series is another set of rp's))

Zaine looked around as the light began to disappear and the cave grew very cold. Oh no, this can't be good. "What's happening? What are you doing Longtail?"

"YoU ThINk ThaT WeAkliNG coUlD sumMon ThiS DaRKnESs? ThInK AgaiN!"
In the entrance, eyes and arm glowing blood crimson, was Dante, his will fully subsumed by the Sankakku, the curse mark having spread over the entire right half of his body...

Lillefot · **Reply #212 on:** August 01, 2008, 02:26:16 PM

Blueberry was just about to ask Dante what he was doing, when...
Blueberry turned around. He could swear he had seen somthing move form within the cave... But it was to dark to see. And suddenly it began to blow an even colder wind from within. Blueberry shuddered, and widened his eyes. Whatever it was, it was something of great evil. He could acctually feel it.
Whatever this chill is... it's not Dante... it's coming that way..!
He whispered to Ecco and Zaine,
"S... something's coming...!"

Nimrod · **Reply #213 on:** August 01, 2008, 03:12:01 PM

I..if someth..ing is comming, I think we¥ll kn..ow soon enough. Brr. Ecco said and shivered by the cold wind. What now? Longtail is under control now I think. What happens to him now?

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #214 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:06:05 PM

Longtail had stopped struggling to get out from Ateo's foot, but now with the feeling of dreed and darkness, he was smiling as he said "Now, is time for my duty to be completed....I hope you've all enjoyed living...cause now...its MY TURN!"
He then screamed into the sky, and it shook and thundered and rained in response, the winds picking up again and blowing every direction possible.

Cyrix nodded to Mim and took Petrie with a smile and said "Thank you everyone. I know Longtail will be okay. Let's get to the cave and rest first." Then the wind began to blow again and harder.

Cyrix held Petrie close so he wouldn't be caught by any stray winds and he said to Mim "Lead the way."

Cera was scared when the storm started, but she acted tough for Tricia, but right now she was so glad that Littlefoots grandparents were here to help keep them safe.

She looked up and asked Grandpa Longneck "Where is Littlefoot, I hope he's okay."

Grandpa Longneck didn't say anything, but felt the same way Cera did.

"When you're living in the Mysterious Beyond, you need every advantage you can get," Spiral said, looking himself over. Most of the cuts on his side and back were small and not really that concerning to him. The larger one on his leg did give him some trouble, though. From what he saw and felt, he thought it could keep him from running for a few days, if not more, but he couldn't really tell. Treating injuries was an area of learning that was somewhat lacking in his case.

Kariya picked up the speech where Spiral left off. "Sometimes, we need a bit more reach than we can get with our claws or beaks. The sticks serve us well for that," she said.

While wondering what he was going to do about his leg, a quick thought struck Spiral. Hmm...that might help.

::Can I have my stick back now?:: he signed to Kariya.

Flipping his stick so that the blunt end was facing him, she handed it off to Spiral, who took the leaf off the sharp end and pressed it onto the cut on his leg, where it stuck. "Thank you, Teacher," he muttered. One of the first lessons taught to him by an old spiketail: Everything can be used for something else.

Nimrod · **Reply #216 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:38:30 PM

Ruby watched the cut. Do you maybe want to put some moos over it? That may help.

Lillefot · **Reply #217 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:00:27 PM

It suddenly became very quiet...
Blueberry could only hear the wind and the heartbeats of the others.
Then, from inside the cave, everyone could hear it.
Someone was clapping hands in aplause... Slowly...
Then a voice broke the silence. It was cold as ice, and sharp as a knife.
"Good... good! Well done.... That was a nice little scream! I almost got frightened for a second!
And you there with the marks... stop it will you, please? I get sick just by watching you..." it said, with a sarcastic, taunting voice. Then a low, sarcastic laugh.
"Hehehehehehe...." The air started to vibrate with it.

The Dark Patriot · **Reply #218 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:27:34 PM

"...Good idea. That would work nicely...if it's not too much of a hassle," Spiral responded. Kariya stood off by the entrance, watching out for anything trying to get in.

DarkHououmon · **Reply #219 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:37:06 PM

Ateo lifted up his head and looked towards the cave. As he heard the disembodied voice speak, he uttered a low growl. He glanced down at the flyer. Lowering his head a little, he hissed softly, "Is this your doing, flying?"
