Yami shook some sense back into himself as he regained balance. He stood back up and brushed himself off a bit and the images began flowing into his head. At first he could not tell form which direction the images were comign,f or they were coming fast at first and hard to differentiate. The mixes and jumbles eventually began to clear and order themselves. The feeling was very much new to him, yet he sensed it was somehow important.
"So, you're saying we must go back to that tower, to finish our quest," he turned towards the elders and Andromeda, and finally Rein, " It's kinda funny tha the adventures kind of began there, and now here we are going back. But if that's where Andromeda's future lies, then we must go."
He pet Andromeda,slowly down the back of her mane, "All this time you've been trying to speak to us, and we couldn't hear a word you said. "
He stepped back and leane dhimself against the wall, crossing his arms.
"But what is it you say that we are to expect there at the tower this time, what is this Anomoly,, and what does it have to do with our quest."

Andromeda: Watched Yami for a moment and sent him a message of the tower once more. She nudged Rein over to him, and nosed their hands together.
Rein: Watched as the elders departed once more. She also realized Andromeda was pushing her towards Yami. As her hand touched upon his, her cheeks flushed a tad bit red. She looked to the foal and saw the image of the tower once more. "Yes Yami- the book for what we have of it, clearly states there is more to this quest. And for Andromeda, I will return to the darkness that seems everlasting."
Andromeda: Snorted and trotted out the cave entrance, the book clenched in her teeth. Along with the wind slowly ruffling her growing mane. She looked back to the two elflings and waited. This was her time. To shine. The moon danced upon her coat as the book and the universe tapered around her whole being shined like a heavenly body in the sky.
Rein: Clenched Yami's hand as if it were a consoling good luck endevour. She pulled on it lightly and blinked as the light shimmered on the both of them. "See that is why we must find out.... I have to know."

Yami broke out of his daze when Rein's hand touched his, his eyes seemed startled at first, but not much other facial expression could be told due to his scarf. He saw the images of the tower flash in his head again.
" I guess we know where we have to go, I'm not liking where we have to go, but if it's for her, we have to go none the less."
He picked up his things and turned his head back to Rein, "Any way, we shoudl get going again before it becoems nightfall again, we want to be able to make camp somewhere safe and of our choosing at the right hour, instea dof stoppign because we have to. Hopefully it shouldn't be too mcuh more than a days journey from here, but alas the day is practically half over now."

Rein: Mounted her steed waiting for Yami and his horse. When she was sure they were set, she galloped out into large land set before them. Thinking to herself. and sending pictures to Andromeda, "A day's travel. And no running into Chimera's. Not to mention picking fights with them." She giggled and leaned up to scratch the ears of her foal. Her images sent clear and loud.
Andromeda: Couldn't help but stretch her head out to pick up speed. She imagingined she was older, carrying wings upon her back. Taking them high in the forever stretched sky, now dappled with the hint of dusk. She intook pictures Rein sent. And transfered back ones of wings and the sky. Then ones of the ocean, then raspberries. She wickered and whinnied as Rein scratched her head.
Rein: Intook the images she was sent and smiled. Leaning back in her seat, she spoke to Yami, "There's another stretch of ocean with raspberry bushes nearby. I think we should stop there." she contuined to say as her steed headed toward her destination.

Yami rode his horse, not far behind, he listened as Rein spoke to him from up ahead. "If you feel that's a proper place to camp for the night, then, we shall do so. I am uncertain how I feel about settign up camp in the open as such, with anything that might lurk along these shores. We set up tent though where you say, but I will keep watch for the night and make sure we get no uninvited guests whilst we sleep."
He stared out at the ocean nearby, he had hardly been near the ocean. Most of his wandering left him further inland than this. The water seemed so clear, and the tide was peaceful.
"When we get there, let's set up tent and make a a fire, the air will be cold tonight since the sand doesn't insulate the heat very well."

Andromeda: Led Yami and Rein to a clearing encased by a string of well flourished leaves and trees. The larger foal paused and sniffed the grond for any sign of others that had passed by as of late. There was a faint odor of something, but more so it was long gone by now. Her companions needed to rest, and she was all for it.
Rein: Dozed in the seat of her mount feeling the night creep upon them. She knew with a few hours ride, she would be at the tower again. And that meant that things were finally back on track from before. She looked up as they stopped her eyes weary with exhaustion once more. Without a warning the elfling collasped on the ground, her tail flopping over as her body did.

Yami had been staring out at the stars whe he heard a thud on the ground in front. He turned towards the sound find Rein having collapsed onto the ground. He hopped off the back of his horse to check on her.
"You did it yet again I see. You not gaugig youe strength properly. Too many cllapses is just gonna leave you battered and bruised."
He began to set up camp as he gathered the tent and supplies from bother of their horses. He had Andromeda stay by her side for the time being. Once he had set up the tent he picked her up and carried her inside, as well as some of the supplies. One her had her safely in her napsack, with her head on a soft pillow, he built a campfire out side, then stationed himself outside the openning of the tent. He bent his right leg up and rested his right arms on it, while holding his sheathed sword underneath his left arm. He sat and kept watch for the most part of the night, and eventually fell to sleep outside, leanign against the tent.

Andromeda: Nosed her way into the tent- halfway in halfway out. She whickered softly as she investigated Rein's disposistion. She snorted and wedged herself in further, so that only her shining celestial rump extruded from the tent flap.
She fell asleep gradually, a small whicker escaping her throat as she noticed Rein sleeping. Nothing would ever come between her loyalness to the elfling hybrid that accepted her as a friend.
~*~
Rein: Placed her palm a top her brow and winced from her headache. She fluttered her eyes for a few moments, seeing a bit of a lightness that she had not adjusted to. As she adjusted, she heard a slow rythematic breathing flowing about the tent. A form that seemingly towered over her smelled a lot like fresh morning grass containing sweet wildflowers.
"Good Morning sunshine." she smiled and reached her hand up to touch the large foal's velvety nose, "Ready to go into the lst phase?"
Andromeda: Nodded her head and projected an image of the tower. In which the same image came back to her with a definite nod. She then projected an image of a raspberry and apple.
"Ready to go? We eat first right?"

Yami had awoke tha mornign leanign against the tent, his sleep had been uneasy as his dreams filled his head. He felt groggy at the moment and tried to shake it out of his head, only to turn to the side and see the buttocks of a horse sticking ot of the tent. His eyes widened, which was hard since he had just woken.
"What the..." he shouted as the horse's rear end stuck out in frotn of his face. He rubbed his head and tried to stand, " I know you're anxious to go, but you could've at least let her rest as logn as she needed, little one."
He brushed himself off and tried peeking his head through the tent openning.

Rein: Smiled as she looked up at Yami with a slight embarrassment. She knew deep down by her tingling ears flushing red, that she passed out yet again.
"Hmm morning Yami." she said sleepily, "Hmm yes breakfast then we're off. Its still early so we'll make it in less than an hour. That is should the map be correct." she nodded and stretched.
Andromeda: looked at Yami and projected an image of a raspberry... as if to say, "Got berries?"
She whinied and waited for him to respond. Though she had a notion he was notioning to poke her, or maybe she was a bit paranoid.

Yami pulled himself out of the tent and stoood, lookign at the bright sun over head, "Yes, breakfast would be good first. As long as you've rested long enough, you've passed out on us one too many times already."
Recieving the image Andromeda sent him in his head, he reached into a small pouch and pulle dout some berries for her to eat, "You've been by far exhausting yourself way too much, I know you're in a hurry to get there, but only in due course. We can only move as muc as your body can handle. As far as the map is concerned," he pulled the map out of the bag as he knelt by it, "if you got the map from Ceres, then we shoudl have no problem, but in all due honesty the map hasn't lead us astray yet,so it might not be all that bad."
He turned his head abck towards the tent," but I still insist you have rested enough before we march off, only to have you fall of your horse again."

Rein: Frowned as she spread raspberries on her lembas. She was rather fond of sweetness on her own baked goos. And it was a charming incentive as well.
She giggled as she slowly padded out to a nearby stream. Slowly she dipped her delicate elven fingers in the lucid water as she splashed her face. Shaking her head she sighed with an intake of air as it filled her lungs.
It was time to go.
Andromeda: Paced as her muzzle shined with the staining of raspberries. She snorted shaking her head, then pawed the ground.
Rein: Smiled as her tail swayed back and forth, the soft silver gleaming with the whitened tip. "Yami its time." she said as she packed the supplies up and placed on the other equines.
The horizon becons..... dun dun dun

Yami finished double checking the supplies, making sure everythign they needed was still around. He had not felt anything passby in the night, and he hoped this journey would be a little less eventful than the last one,a s he spent enough time out of commission at that time as it was. He loosened up his joints to make sure he was ready for the trek they wer about to embark on, heaven knows the lady wasn't one to listen to his advice anyhow. He cared deeply for her, but she simply wouldn't listen to him, yet he really couldn't make his feelings know either.
Yami finished the supply check and began hanging their bags upon their horses, he hadn't even stopped for a bite to eat himself yet, as the young lady was in such a hurry as is, and he felt that he needed to get these things doen before anything had the chance of going wrong. He slung another bag onto the back of his horse and leaned on it a bit, starig up into the golden sun high above, he held his head a bit, as he hadn't had much rest hismelf lately since the journey began. He had hoped to get a decent ammount of rest, especially for her before hte journied of, so as she would nto exhaust herself again.
He looked around to see if anythign else could be gathered, but Andromeda, Rein and the other horses that may have coem along were all enjoyign their breakfast. He took one last check with the supplies and grabbed the canteens to grab water from the nearby source. He knelt down next to the cool spring that spouted forth beneath him. The water was very cool and refreshign against his skin. he took the tiem to fill the canteens then mad ehis way back to camp, hopign that the stubborn misses would be ready by the time he had returned. When he had returned, Rein had finished with her supplies and had packed up, she spoke to him, to whcih he answer," If you feel it is time, then it must be. Let us not make too much haste, because rushing ahead without lookign will only seek to destroy whatever purpose we seek out. Keep it in mind, especially from the warnings in the book, we're headed for something serious and it is not to be taken lightly. If we are to face anything I would perfer all of us are well enough rested to be able to handle whatever may test us, especially if soem puzzle may stand in our way that requires us to think. Remember the tower isn't witout it's dangers, we learned t hat the last time we were there, but from my inderstanding of the words in the book we are headed into a more dangerous portion of the tower than what you were in before."
He turned his head back to her, " I would be very much displeased if you were to get hurt on our journey very much so," after speakign his last words he mounted upon his horse and set ready for Rein to take the lead, goign wuiet again into his thoughts.

Rein: Urged Andromeda into a smooth canter, wondering what they'd be up against when they reached their destination. Of course, she had neglected to mention to her companion, that there was a trick to entering that forbidden place.
Andromeda: Kept her stride as she headed onward, her objective running through her churning mind. Everyday she grew sleeker, her own form changing with time and care. She wanted to understand why the elders sent her there. To find- Annomaly?
She snorted and kept to her goal, wondering even more what was waiting for them.
~The party eventually reached the tower, though the sun was but an ember slowly dipping beneath the horizon. So time was but a fleeting excuse to feel discouraged.
Making camp they sat and indulged on a luncheon of lembas, berries, and a bit of meat dried by the careful watch of the sun. But still the predicament hit them like a brick.
No switch, lever, or whatever was ment to enter.~
Andromeda: Watched the other two with a bit of annoyance. Why they weren't thinking about how else to get in. Silly elves she thought with a shake of her dappled celestial neck.
The changling flicked her tail and headed for a brief walk. She was determined to figure out why her other method was a lost cause. She sniffed the grass, noticing the dew forming, from the irridecense of the swelling moon.
Something shimmered in front of her, in which she threw her head up sharp. Looking around her, she had once thought she was hallucinating.
A shimmer in the distance.
Andromeda followed intently, clearing around the large tower, disappearing completely out of sight. She picked up her pace and followed this ghost as it seemed to her. Or wait- was it her reflection?
As she hurried, she skiddded as fast as she had started. In front of her was a changling. This she was promiently sure of. But, there was no changling here before, it was a switch.
The celestial filly whickered a greeting,which got the other's attention right away. She investigated the other realizing it was a colt or stallion even. And he even carried her celestial pattern.
Now the filly was a bit flustered and confused....

Yami had endured the long ride to the tower. H ehoped this time it would be easier going than it was the last time they came to this tower. He zoned himself out for a bit as he let thoughts pass through his mind, but then was snapped to attention when he heard the sound of Andromeda. He looked forward to see another changlign that looked much like her. He rus his eyes a bit, he could nt believe what he had seen since if he had rememebred correctly there was no way in his knowledge that there could be a changling that looked just liek Andromeda, but at this very moment there stood one. He stepped off his horse and watched from a distance for a moment, waiting for the next move.
