Veli kept fling till he found Cayso and Dante. "Is there anything I can do to help?" the sharptoothed flyer asked

Longtail grinned wide as he put on a burst of speed and said to the others, "Here...we GO! Just follow my lead and we should get through this in one piece!" He then felt the heat of the smoking mountain and for a moment he thought about turning back, but then the moment passed and he kept going.

Pearl managed to keep up as well and followed Longtail's flight path up and around the massive cloud of smoke despite the heat and fire.

Soul was behind them making sure they were safe while still keeping the right distance.

Veli could see what Cayso and Dante were doing, so he figured out what he needed to do.

"Need help digging?" he asked.

Despite his babysitters every intent on keeping Twiz safe while accomplishing this, and Twiz's every intent on helping out as much as possible, he couldn't help glancing to the side at the smoke as they passed by.

The threat of becoming panicked gave way to how neat it sort of was being this close to the smoke in the first place and Twiz was struck in awe a bit.

"Pay attention" the other sharptoothed flyer from his herd reminded him and gently (lest he startle Twiz into an accident) nudged him into doing.

"Oh, right, sorry" the kid said.

"Every help is welcomed..." - Cayso replied to Veli - "... but don't get too tired, because the Flyers up there may need an extra wing." - the Fast-biter looked up and frowned, he thinks in the crazy thing the Flyers are doing in the smoking mountain - "I really hope they'll all come back in one piece." - Cayso thought as he began digging again.

tempestwheel · **Reply #1065 on:** March 14, 2009, 04:14:10 PM

"Got it," Veli replied, joining in on the digging, but not digging too hard.

Longtail felt that their group was doing far better than he expected. As he began another loop, he caught something out of the corner of his eye, and it startled him....just long enough to see Pearl being struck by a small fire rock in her belly as she cried out in pain.

"PEARL!!!" screamed Longtail. And as he turned around he and his mother met eye to eye for only a moment, but Soul nodded her head and took the lead as she turned to the others.

"EVERYONE FOLLOW ME! We're pulling away NOW!!!" she shouted as she pulled away from the smoke and the mountain.

As Pearl continued to fall Longtail folded his wings so he'd move faster. Once he caught sight of Pearl, he noticed that they were IN the smoking mountain and it was really hot.

Longtail nose-dived under Pearl's body and let her land on his back and with the added weight he knew he'd caught her and he quickly asended to the crest of the smoking mountain and out of the pitch black smoke and into the daylight skies again.

"Pearl...can you hear me?" asked Longtail as he shook his head trying to clear the leftover smoke out of his eyes.

When no response came, Longtail flew faster than he thought he could and was heading towards the group too fast to stop himself, but he knew his friends and his mother would at least try to catch Pearl.

Veli looked up. "I think i can see Longtail and the others, and I don't think his plan worked," he said nervously.

Kit12 · **Reply #1068 on:** March 14, 2009, 07:38:48 PM

"Y-yeah" Twiz replied nervously, seeing the way they were coming in, and how fast Longtail was coming in...

Again just going of inpulse the kid rushed out to and catch the flyer he noticed even now slip from Longtail's back as he was going too fast.

"Twiz, what do you think yo-!" his babysitter cried, seeing that the kid would do probably nothing more than get himself squished, yet as the two tumbled, all that happened to Twiz as his being squished a bit, yet he wiggled free.

"A-are you ok Miss?" he turned back to the other flyer...

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #1069 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:35:11 PM

Pearl groaned but didn't respond.

Longtail rolled across the ground for a few more moments, and even before he came to a stop he was on his feet and over by Twiz and Pearl. He checked on Pearl first as he knew Twiz would most certainly be okay.

"Pearl...Pearl! Are you okay?" asked Longtail as he gently picked her up and held her close and gave her a kiss.

Soul stood by hoping whatever her son had planned worked.

tempestwheel · **Reply #1070 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:36:14 PM

Veli flew over to Longtail.

"Don't tell me your plan failed," he said nervously.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #1071 on:** March 14, 2009, 09:27:02 PM

Longtail stopped kissing Pearl and looked over to Veil and then back to the mountain and finally back to Pearl and sighed.
"No...we didn't fail...but Pearl was hurt....and it was my fault." he said as a tear fell from his eye and landed on Pearls belly.

Pearl groaned again in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.
"L-Longtail...is...that..y-you?' she asked in a tired and strained voice.

Kit12 · **Reply #1072 on:** March 14, 2009, 10:51:21 PM

"She's ok!" Twiz, in his excitement, hugged both Longtail and Pearl. His 'watcher' rolled his eyes. "Sometimes risks are unavoidable, but you did the right thing in pulling out when you did and ordering the pull back" he told Longtail.

tempestwheel · **Reply #1073 on:** March 14, 2009, 10:53:41 PM

"So what should we do next?" asked Veil.

~~~

Redclaw turned to the herds. "We should be arriving at the big canyon with the lake within half an hour."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #1074 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:05:05 AM

Longtail smiled as he felt Twiz hugging both him and Pearl, but without taking his eyes off of Pearl he nodded his head to Twiz's 'watcher' and said, "I know....and thank you for your help in the matter. I couldn't have done it without any of you."

Soul took a step forward and whispered to Longtail, "Pearl will need her rest, and being out here is not the best place to be, we should reunite with the other sharpteeth."

tempestwheel · **Reply #1075 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:06:46 AM

Veil picked up her Pearl. "I can take her to the rest of the herds. Their trail is still strong."

Chiletrek · **Reply #1076 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:20:42 AM

"That would be the best." - Cayso commented to Veil's idea. - "I know the herds will get worried about us, specially after they'll see Pearl so if they ask, tell them we are ok, will you do that Veil?"

After hearing Redclaw's announcement, Racnar made a small smile. - "At least we should be safe and in only one place again, the others should find us more easily whenever they finish what they are doing."

tempestwheel · **Reply #1077 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:33:17 AM

"Yeah, they'll be able to find us," Chomper assured Racnar. "And I'm sure Cayso and the others are fine."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #1078 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:36:23 AM

Longtail nodded his head at Veils idea but stood up.
"I...I'm going with you Veil...I want to make sure Pearl is alright...I feel so guilty for getting her hurt...but she willingly followed me...ugh...let's just get her to safety first...I can beat myself up later!" He then handed Pearl to Veil and flapped his wings.

Soul turned to the others and said, "Well...I guess that leaves the rest of us to head back together...I'm sure one you you fellow sharpteeth should lead the way as your sniffers are better than my own."

Chiletrek · **Reply #1079 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:37:06 AM

"Thanks Chomper... I just cannot avoid having a strange sensation about all of this..." - Racnar replied to the kid T-Rex. - "... but I am sure everything will be just fine."

Cayslo looked at Longtail's mother and said - "I may lead the way, if that is ok. Or maybe Dante would like to do it, for me is fine."
