Welcome to Gaia! ::

Failures made you stronger. If that was the case then why did she never feel it? She didn't dare retort with that or say it to AJ, he was trying to be nice and all. "O-okay..." Was all she said. A dull response to all his encouragement.

It at least got her up and attempting to climb the mountain again - with AJ in tow, she wasn't sure. Why he didn't go on without her would make her wonder. But if he did, that was sweet of him. He already had an egg that hadn't been destroyed after all.

It took some time and effort for her to get back up, a struggle enough for her to summon her broom for aid this time. Eventually the eggs' nest was located and she reached for one. A baby wyvern tried to stop her, but she paid it no mind. They were small enough, harmless even and not a worry (for once).

The sand lobster that she encountered next, though. That was a problem. It rolled into her, almost sent her falling off the side of the cliff herself. It took her egg, however, barreling over. Down down... and crushed. Like her spirits.

[Base]

It was risky to climb up and down holding an egg but AJ didn't care. More, he was glad he was there for her when she nearly fell off the cliff because of a lobster ball. Her egg broke, he pondered if she was a bit unlucky but he didn't say anything but asked her to try again.

He encouraged the witch on her way once again up the mountain, grabbed another egg and went down with her. AJ didn't help or say much. Even though he wanted to protect her all the time, it was bad for her development. He knew she nearly cry when she helplessly watched her egg rolled down and crashed against the cliff, he hugged her and promised to make her desserts she would like after they went back to school.

While they finally safely reached the forest, AJ was amazed by the view of the sand whale. A whale in a forest. "They're unfriend but we can dodge them" he assured the witch giving him the qq face.

He didn't understand why she seemed to be slightly upset when a deer minipet was seen at the base, he smiled gently at her. There was a baby wyvern munching his hair, he plucked it off and put it onto her egg.
