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

Cyrix tried to stifle a laugh.
"Well...I think I can help with the falling out of the tree bit if you'd like the help Trod." he offered with a smile of amusement. "But getting rest now is far more important. So, where should we rest for the night?" he asked.

~~~~~

Hunter who felt bad for not answering Chompers previous question just sighed and climbed a nearby tree and quickly fell asleep on one of the many branches.

"<Then I suggest you go to sleep, son. Tis was really eventful day, so we all may use some rest>" Dein said, starting to lay down...

"I think we should find a place soon, or I may get to sleep standing right here." - Trod replied as he smiled, enjoying the company of Cyrix, Twiz and Veil, but he still has that pain within, from his missing sister and his now missing Flyer friend and partner.

Terri roared a good night as well, as she turned around and began to walk back to their nest for the night.

Cyrix smiled.
"Well, when in doubt I sleep near a watering hole, just in case...colse enough to see the water, but far enough away that if a predator should come, we'll be safe."

"Then let's go find a watering hole." - Trod said as he tried to feel more cheerily.

Cyrix smiled at Trod's optimism and said aloud, "If you're still too tired to walk Trod, I can carry you."

The kid Runner looked at Cyrix and replied - "Thank you Cyrix, but please don't worry, I am still fine."

Cyrix nodded as well, and said, "Alright then...if you would please follow me, I'll take you to where my waterside sleeping place is."
He then turned and took several steps further into the tree line as a grim smile appeared on his face.
"I suddenly have a bad feeling about tonight." he said aloud.

~~~~

Hunter on the other paw was beginning to stir in her sleep, and in fact was having a nightmare, which in turn caused her to begin sleep walking. And her nightmare involved her tracking and hunting something she could never find...but this night...her sleep story would prove dangerously different.

Veil followed along, wondering what Cyrix's comment meant.

Trod was walking near Cyrix and shivered after hearing what the Rainbowface said. - "I hope nothing bad would happen to us." - he then began looking everywhere as he kept on walking.

OOC: I will soon bring a new OC, thanks Brekclub for allowing me to do that.

"Well, if you think that's safe then I'm sure it is" Twiz said, "after all you've lived here a whole lot longer than me who just got here" he smiled.

As they continued on, he frowned though. "W-why?" he asked about Cyrix having a bad feeling.

~~~~

While asleep, Kit and Cory's sleep stories could be termed half good half bad, as the sleep stories themselves were happy and about being at home in the Great Valley, but only setting up for the let down of when they would awaken and find they weren't home.

"I agree with Twiz, besides, you are a lot bigger and wiser than us Cyrix, I'm sure you have far more experience than any of us." - Trod said, trying to cheer up things.

In the mainland, a small figure landed in the rocks near the shore. It is a small Flyer that began looking towards the island - "That has to be the place" - he tried to fly again, but his body was trembling from exhaustion. - "I am... so tired... but I must do it." - the kid gathered all the strenght he could and began flying again, and went to the island.

Cyrix smiled as the group reached his sleeping spot. He turned and said, "Well try not to worry tonight, I'm sure my feelings are wrong...they sometimes are when it comes to this island." He then added:
"Besides, I'll be staying up all night to make sure nothing bad happens to you little ones. Sound fair?"

~~~~

Hunter however was stalking in her sleep story and was getting closer and closer to her prey..and this one was the same as it always was...a rainbow face, but this time even in her sleep story she was determined to get what she came for as her muscles tensed and she crouched lower to the ground ready to strike, when the rainbow face let it's guard down.

~~~~

Terri looked up for a moment with weary and tired eyes and noticed Hunter was gone.
"I wonder where she could be at a time like this?" she asked herself quietly.

Dein heard Terri's question, as he wasnt fully asleep.

"<Hunting perhaps? After all, she is a hunter not only by name, you know.>" Papa Sharptooth said trying to be funny.

"Is Hunter sleep-walking again?" Chomper asked, waking up for a late night drink of water.
