A new world...Same old faces

"You shouldn't promise something thats out of you control Longtail" Cera said in a stern voice. False hope was the last thing Cera wanted right now. Renn and Ducky's fall lifted Cera out of her bad mood though. She chuckled softly but held back any comments, she didn't want to upset Ducky, not now.

"How does your sis look like, Cera?... Just that I know", Ecco asked, worried, if talking about her sis would make her sad.

As they flew on, Petrie glanced from Cera to Ecco at his question. "Well...she's pink for one" the flyer offered, not wanting to push it if Cera did want to answer, but also answering at least part of the question just in case Cera didn't feel like having to say everything about Tricia.

"Like Petrie said, just think of smaller, pink version of me" Cera said. "Well, kinda like me. She technically only my half-sister and she has very different attitude" Cera added, smiling as she remembered Tricia's playful nature.

"Alright. ... Thank you. I¥ll watch out for her and give a scream if I may see her.", Ecco said with a nod.

"We'll help you look," Chomper offered Cera.

Longtail sighed.
"I'm sorry Cera, you're right, but I'm sure it's her I smell...and...others as well..." He then on a hunch flapped his wings and flew above the trees and smiled widely as he took in a deep whiff of air and could indeed smell other survivors around the valley.

"THIS IS GREAT!!!" he cried as he landed back onto the ground. "I can smell others all around the valley....maybe...just maybe this isn't hopeless after all." he commented with a grin.

Pearl grinned as she asked, "Should we split up to find them?"

Longtail turned to his mate and nodded his head.
"Good idea Pearl! Take as many of our herd members as you need and search the whole valley...the rest of us here will still head towards the Tree of Life. I know someone is there."

Greg decided to stay with the group heading towards the Tree of Life.

"Maybe after all this, our lives will be able to get back, do you think?" Ichy asked Dil.

"I'll help ya find your sis, Cera. Y'all wanna help out?" Aurelia asked Renn and Ducky.

"Uh, sure. Why not?" Renn replied.

"We will help you find Tricia and other survivors, yep yep yep!" Ducky added as they all headed for the Tree of Life.

"Well doing our part on Longtail's promise to have your herd watch out for us, you know you've got our help, Pearl" Kit said with a smile. Petrie nodded and Twiz...well he knew that ultimately he would end up doing whatever Azure might tell him to do, it seemed to go that way with mates sometimes.

"I'll help you guys look," Rita said, walking over to Kit.

raga · **Reply #191 on:** June 20, 2009, 12:39:50 AM

"Thanks guys" Cera said as she started off towards the tree of life. She was happy that her friends were supporting her so much, but she knew getting her hopes up would only lead to dissapointment in the future.

(OCC: Is some one secretly planning to do Tricia?)

Spike was using his sniffer to smell for survivors, and so were Ducky, Renn, and Aurelia.

"Hehe, this reminds me of when we sniffed for water, yep yep yep," Ducky giggled.

"Huh? Oh, yeah! Then we found the water and got to enjoy it, even though it was brief," Spike reminisced. "Hey! I think I'm starting to smell...starting to smell...oh, uh, burnt treesweets." Ducky gave Spike a cross look.

"Spike! How can you even think about food right now?!" Ducky scolded.

"Now, now, Ducky. He's just trying to help. Ain't that right, man?" Renn said in hopes of dissolving a conflict before it starts.

"You're right," replied Spike. Ducky stepped over to Spike and embraced him.

"I am sorry, Spike. You did not deserve that, no no no. I am getting hungry too, and it is starting to make me feel bad. It is, it is," Ducky whispered.

"It's okay, Ducky. No harm done," Spike said with a smile. The group continued to walk on.

"I do wonder what we will do about food, yep yep yep," Ducky said to herself.

Nimrod · **Reply #193 on:** June 21, 2009, 05:09:17 PM

"Does any of you guys smell something yet?", Ecco adresset to Scarface and the others.

"Not me", Scarface replied.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #194 on:** June 21, 2009, 10:53:28 PM

"Not yet, man," Renn replied as he and Ducky walked hand in hand again.

"I do not smell anything yet either, nope nope nope. Nothing living, anyway," Ducky added.

"Sheesh, it stinks. Burnt bodies and burnt greenfood don't mix," Aurelia said in disgust.

"How are we supposed to smell survivors in this mess?" Spike asked. "Even my sniffer's not picking up any survivors."

tempestwheel · **Reply #195 on:** June 21, 2009, 10:59:05 PM

"Same here," Rita nodded, "And my sniffer is stronger than yours too."

Kit12 · **Reply #196 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:37:46 AM

"and I'm getting depressed looking at it from too high up" Petrie added.

"But still...if there are others, we have to at least keep trying to sniff or spot them out, what if they're thinking they're the only one's alive too" Kit pointed out.

"Here, I'll see if I can spot anything now" she flapped higher to take a turn at scanning and give Petrie at least a breather but had to sigh, she didn't see any movement so far. she kept scanning though, trying to not look as discouraged as she was feeling.

Nimrod · **Reply #197 on:** June 22, 2009, 05:06:17 PM

Well, I think they will know when they see us, that they are not the only survivors, Scarface said.

But may I ask, also if it¥s not really the right time,... does anyone of you smell dead bodys? I am kind of hungry... and if I am not soon eating something, who knows where this ends, he said, as he looked with a concerned look over to the others.

tempestwheel · **Reply #198 on:** June 22, 2009, 05:09:11 PM

"We do," Rory, Rita, and Myra said, using their sniffers.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #199 on:** June 22, 2009, 06:56:02 PM

Longtail had been walking in silence for some time now, and he just didn't feel like speaking...it wasn't that he was worried or afraid, he just had nothing positive to say. So he did what he always did when he stopped talking, he began to think...but now it wasn't of the past, but of everyone's future, and where exactly it would lead.

Pearl who was by Longtail's side was indeed worried for her mates well being, and for good reason. His emotions so far had been...erratic to say the least, and the last thing she wanted was for Longtail to have another nervous breakdown like before when they were out in the Mysterious Beyond. But she stayed silent so she would not disturb Longtail's thoughts.

Azure hadn't moved. She wanted to help find other survivors, but she wasn't sure what good she could be if she found them, and they were in the middle of dying. She didn't want to see that kind of loss as it would just prove her fears that they might not make it after all...she turned to Twiz with a tear in her eye and said, "I'm scared..."
