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

The Land Before Time - "Dawn"

Blueberry stepped out of the cirlce and walked over to Cyrix.
"Cyrix, a word...?" he said and leaned his head away from the circle.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Cyrix nodded at Blueberry and stepped aside from the rest of the circle and asked, "What would you like to speak about Blueberry?"

After a few thoughts, how he will manage to find Longtail, Ecco thought about where Longtail could be. In the Great Valley? In the Mysterious Beyond?... Moment! Wait a second

Hey, everyone listen, I think we forgot something. A very important thing. Ecco adressed to the group. This purple light changed everything. Here and in the Mysterious Beyond. It is still there. So we can definitly tell, this is the cause, why the GV looks like it is right now. But where the light comes from, that we don¥t know. From what I¥ve heard from Blueberry, it came out of the ground, and not from the sky.

Blue-eyes nodded.  "Some of the flying sharpteeth who are members of my herd mentioned to my great grand father seeing skyfire of that color come from the ground and head to the sky, instead of sky to ground like skyfire does usually."  

He looked at Scarface, "We are not sure where Longtail is, but if we take care of the problem Longtail should be ok."

"Or it'll be much easier to bring him back." Mr. Thicknose said.  "Either way at least some have to see about dealing with the cause itself."  

"He may be with whoever caused this or someone who is utilizing it for their own benefit." Zal said.

Wait. Wasn¥t there this raptor who took Longtail with him. Does anyone here has any clue this guy was? I guess he has something to do with it.

Dante nodded.
"Right.  Makes sense.  I wondered why I could see you guys.  Well...If that's the case...I won't give up on him.  We'll do it together, right Zaine?"
He said, calmly...

Zaine still couldn't get what Soul said out of his mind. Let go of what I fear to lose? "I don't know if I can do this Dante. I've never been told to kill a friend before, especially Longtail. I'm so confused."

Blueberry found a pair of stubs and sat down, he invited Cyrix with him.
"I was just curious, I thought you should know..."
You see, I just remembered something from that old flyer Zal. I thought I had forgotten...
Tell me Cyrix, have you ever heard of that place?"
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Cyrix sat down across from Blueberry as he sighed and replied, "well...as a matter of fact, I have heard stories of such a place...last time it was spoken of it was called "Unknown Valley" or was it Forbidden Valley..well nevertheless I know that most dinosaurs who travel there just don't return. May I ask why you ask?"

"No one has returned since the time of the ancients, Cyrix." Blueberry added.
"And yeah, it doesn't have a name. I guess you know about my past, don't you?
Then you know that I traveled with the lone fastrunners once. They took me under their wings... taught me everything about the ancients. And that's from where I know about this place.
I...don't know all about it, there's just something about it that I can't really remember... something of great importance..."
Blueberry leaned forward. He tried to remember...

Cyrix gave a small smile as he said, "Well Blueberry I did have my suspicions about your past, but it seems I was right...at least partially. If it makes it any easier, I too know about the Ancients. It is something I've been wanting to tell for quite a while. But I didn't tell Longtail for...personal reasons. I think I may know of the important thing you speak of..."

Cyrix took a breath and continued, "It happens to be part of the song I had Longtail memorize as a matter of fact. It goes like this... By the Guardians light...we live to fight...to protect the ones we hold at night...to see the light...at the end of the fight...and know that it warms our hearts." And that song was supposed to be sung by the Ancients to show that the world that both dark and light were needed for our survival."

Blueberry opened his eyes widely as if he ahd been strucked by lightning.
He looked at Cyrix.
"Wait! Say that again!"

Cyrix blinked for a moment and managed to say, "Alright...By the Guardians light, we live to fight, to protect the ones we hold at night....to see the light...at the end of the fight...and know that it warms our hearts."

He then asked Blueberry "Is something more important in the song than I thought?"

"Seems you folks are sorting things out yourself so I'll be off." Mr. Thicknose said as he turned to go.  

"& i've a few relatives I've not visited here in a while that I should now that I'm already here." Zal said as she got ready to fly off.

"I'm not sure... it just makes me think about another story that the lone fastrunners told me...
If I only could figure out what was so special about it..."
Blueberry said quietly.

Dante looked at Zaine.  
"I hope it doesn't come down to that.  I doubt it will, but...just in case..."
He turned towards Arius.
"Teach me what you know about fighting with powers beyond this world.  I have the Sankakku, but...Is there some way to use spiritual power to fight?  If there is, I need to know..."
He said, eyes firm...

"Lone fastrunners?  Were they friends of Doc?" Rhyn said, thinking out loud.

Rhyn looked at herself all over then back at Cyrix, "No, I seem to be ok."

"Sorta odd question to ask.  Why are you feeling sick?" Mia asked.

Cyrix stood up and stepped over to Rhyn and said, "To answer your question...I do not know if they knew Doc or not." He then asked "What do you know of the Lone Fastrunners?
