Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Every little bit of magic we use has a greater impact then some realize." Oleander nodded agreeing with the scuttle scale, "The Others had done a great damage to Vykeli, but we can make it right again. One little piece at a time."

Glancing around again, Oleander started following Tsarine once more, they still had this fruit to find before it was taken by everyone else.. He was looking forward to finding the item, the trees it grew upon. Something was helping them survive this place.

"Perhaps what we seek is higher up and closer to the water." he pondered as Shiny squawked at his side to be let back into his basket.

Looking down, Oleander stopped a moment to lean down and let the Cockatrice back into its basket. Seemed the bird was tired of running around, or didn't like this place anymore then they did. Either way, it was good that Shiny knew to stick close and not race off, something Oleander had worried about... Kind of anyways. Cockatrice secured, he quickly caught back up with Tsarine as he walked.

Oleander continued to follow Tsarine up the hill. Higher and higher they went and the mists were clearing. He stopped a moment to glance around the trees as they seem to space out more here. There seemed to be more stumps then trees to start. Frowning deeply, he looked back at the younger buck as it seemed that he had spotted something.

"Oh?" he asked picking up his pace a little to come up behind Tsarine, more so pulling up to be beside him. "That could be what we are looking for." Oleander squinted towards where Tsarine had spotted something.

He had come to see the fruit as well, the silver bark of the trees that hosted the fruit. That just had to be the one that Wanderust had found. At least a patch of it anyways. Tail flicking slightly behind him, he glanced at Tsarine with a grin.

"First one to the trees is a dark bulb." He said in challenge racing forward.

Hearing the clop of hooves behind him, he could tell his companion was close behind him. The steps were getting closer and he could almost feel the breath of Tsarine on his tail. This was figurative of course. A grin still on his face, Oleander slowed up ever so slightly to get himself to be neck and neck with his companion.

"Lovely day for a run, wouldn't you say?" he laughed as they went on.

A head of him the silver trees drew ever closer and the fruit becoming more visible. It was just about now that he started putting on the breaks. Some of the branches were low and he wasn't looking to get brained on them or have one catch him in the throat. He liked his head where it was...

"That was exhilarating!"

Oleander cringed slightly as his companion tumbled into the grove. Seems his speed was greater then his own, but if he had been a bit younger Oleander would have done the same thing. Giving a small chuckle, he looked around at the grove, the silver trees and fruit that were hanging from them. Seems life found a way to keep going where all else surrendered.

An ear twitched as Tsarine muttered something that made him chuckle again. "Sorry about that." he said stepping over to Tsarine as it seemed that two fruit had fallen when he crashed into the trees here.

Oleander tilted his head at the mention of using magics here. He looked around once more, the place could use more light, but he wanted to try something else. Really the resilience of the trees. Sure they stood up to the tests of time. But how was their resistance to shifting Temps? He was sure that these trees could handle it, but there was always consequences.

"It could use a lot of magical healing." Oleander agreed. "Did you have an idea in mind on what to try?" He glanced at Tsarine. "I picked what we did last, this time it is your turn."

The tree was chosen, smaller then the rest, still growing and unable to bare fruit like its larger counter parts. Oleander gave the tree a once over nudging it ever so slightly with his nose before he looked at Tsarine. The plan was a nice one, warm the ground while he cooled the air to create a moisture, a dew of sorts to let the leave and such soak it in.

"Lets give this a try." he agreed before Tsarine had begun. The ait around him started to warm before it was focused on one point. Waiting for his chance, Oleander admired the control that his companion was learning and he hoped that even his own was getting better. When he was told that it was his turn, Oleander closed his own eyes.

Reaching deep into his core for his magic. Outwardly he exhaled the steam of his breath puffed out as if it were cold. The space around him started to chill, hitting the warmth from Tsarine water droplets started to form over the leaves of the tree. As he focused more it almost seemed to rain on the tree from the mix of the temperatures.

Seemed even though they were Solar, they could still work together and create something out of almost nothing..

Letting his own magic ease back from whence it came, Oleander opened his eyes and looked down at the tree that seemed to almost sparkle more brightly then those around it. Seems that their little magic show had done something to help at least. This brought a smile to him as he glanced at his companion.

"Much like a foal a stream for the first time." He said as Tsarine stepped over to collect one of the two fruits that had fallen when he crashed into the tree. "Heading home sounds like a wonderful idea. We have done what we can for now." He nodded as he too walked over.

Nosing at the strange fruit that laid on the ground he soon picked it up and tucked it away in his pouch. He wasn't going to risk Shiny getting hungry and eating it before they reaching home. Glancing up towards the skies, the sun was indeed starting to sink into the distance and they still had the Barrens to cross before reaching Homewood.

"Come on, you can crash at my place if you'd like. It's a little messy, but I am sure we can find a place." Oleander said as he turned to lead the way back down hill and towards home. Shiny fast asleep in its basket..
