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

"Sounds good" Twiz nodded, "and to be honest it's more of a plan that I had of just flying and seeing if I saw anything from up here".

Rhamphy looked at Twiz and replied - "Well... maybe we can do both things, because we cannot just fly without bringing news." - he then flapped his wings faster and began going higher and forward in the direction the group is heading.

Trod began looking to the sky and he tried to keep both Flyers in sight.

"Perhaps one can help keep the other out of trouble." Littlefoot said.

Ducky nodded to what Trod said, "yep, yep, yep, they you can be a family, you, your mother and sister." She said.

Trod looked back at Littlefoot and Ducky and said with a smile. - "Yes, I guess I just worry too much."

Rhamphy and Twiz were already getting farther away from the main group. Hopefully, they would get back with good news, but there is never a way to be completely sure.

Littlefoot nodded and looked at Trod again, "Things will turn out ok, just wait and see." he said.

Twiz laughed, "Well of course we'd go back and tell everyone if we saw anything, I didn't mean we wouldn't do that" he siad, "that's kinda why we're out here".

As they flew along he kept his eyes open, "Wish I knew exactly what something looks like for when we see it, I guess if we see any Mists of flowers we could tell about that..." he mainly thought outloud.

Rhamphy heard what Twiz was saying and he took a glance at him before returning his sight to the land. - "I guess you are right, but they said we are still a few bright circles away from there." - He waited for some moments before continuing - "We should try to see if there are Sharpteeth around here too, so the others can make some detours.... or hostile Flyers too." - Rhamphy's voice was very uneasy after saying that last part.

Trod looked back at Littlefoot - "I agree, I should get used to try and see things in a more optimistic way." - he said with a smile as he kept on walking.

"I do hope things go well.  Maybe we'll even meet Archie and Tickles again. " Ducky said.   "I do hope if we see Dill or Icky they see Chomper before us, I do, I do." Ducky said, still afraid of the memory she had of their last encounter with those 2.

"Don't worry, we'll tell them before they could do anything," Chomper assured his friends.

"I hope it works." Littlefoot said with some concern in his voice.

Trod listened about the friends and foes living in the Valley of the Mists. - "Well, it sure seems that you all have met lots of dinos. I'll sure be glad to meet the good ones."

Rhamphy and Twiz were already a good distance away from the main group, but their scouting is still far to finish.

"We have, we have, including some far walkers.  Though most of the ones who have met live in the Great Valley." Ducky said.

Twiz nodded, he knew any of the two types of flyers of which he was related to on either side of his family, could be trouble causing and not just the full blooded sharptooth kind...but still, held a vaine hope if it was just that maybe he could talk them out of causing trouble...even if he'd noted sharpteeth didn't always get along just because they were all sharpteeth.

"Yeah, except for the far walkers, they keep moving...hence the far walking title" Cory said.

Trod looked at Ducky and Cory and replied. - "My mother's herd is a herd of Far-walkers too, that is the reason why it is getting complicated to for me and Rhamphy to find them, but..." - he stopped for a second before continuing. - "... the herd I was banished from is a herd of Far-walkers too, and I am afraid that they are behind my steps, because they figured that I am looking for my mother and her herd."

Rhamphy was happy as he is now able to fly again. - "Well, if something happens Twiz, I think we should be able to handle it, with no need to play hero or martyr because we are never alone. I can say that, because I was indeed alone, until I found Trod."

Longtail looked down at his uncle and asked, "Weren't you part of a far walking herd once Uncle?"

Cyrix smiled as he nodded his head.
"Yes I was Longtail, however after I found you in the Great Valley I decided to stay. I do wonder what has happened to my old herd since I left." he said aloud. He turned to face Chompers folks and asked in sharptooth, <"How are you doing Dein?">

Dein nodded his head as he walked along, he wouldn't admit it, but he was feeling pretty bad considering he could feel the bright circle keeping him warm. He looked down to Chomper for a moment and then to Terri with a worried expression.

Terri noticed her mates expression but didn't say anything and simply smiled as she said, "Well even if we're a few days away, this valley of Mist should be easy to see when we do find it."

"It is all misty and stuff, and it has lots of water there too." Ducky said.  

"and the nightflowers only bloom at night." Littlefoot said.  "But they are easy to see."

"That's good. At least we won't spend much time on looking out for them." Dein said.

Trod was amazed to hear what was said about the Nightflowers. - "I have never imagined that could happen, that there are flowers that can bloom at night. I look forward to see that." - he then looked at Cyrix and Littlefoot, and asked with a shy voice. - "Do you think, that my mother's herd would make an stop in the place you all call The Great Valley?."

"You'll like looking at them, they are pretty golden flowers." Ducky said to Trod.

"they may," Littlefoot said to Trod, "I heard some of the grown ups say far walkers of many herds visit there."

"At least these flowers will be easy to find," Chomper sighed hopefully.
