Lily looked up at him, "Yah I'm ok." she said smiling, but she wasn't as sure as she sounded, she could feel the grip she had starting to slip, but just ever so slightly, and she knew Darius couldn't feel her slipping. "We gotta land soon." she said to him, but she wasn't sure if he heard her. It looked like he was still trying to find a balance with her on only one side of him. Now she could only hope they found a place to land.

Darius quickly grabbed her other hand and put her back into a safe and sturdy postiton. Then he noticed something and he looked surprised. "We have to go back!" he shouted, "My-my pendant is gone!"

Lily nodded. She was going to ask about it, but toughed her own neck, feeling the smooth edges of the novely black stone. And she had an idea on why it was important to him. So she let him turn around and head back to where they had only just come from.

Darius flew back and landed on the edge of the gorge and placed Lily down there. He looked around for a second and saw nothing he checked the log and there was nothing. He cheaked the muddy surface and nothing was there. He was sweating now that pendant was his most treasured valuable he had. "W-where could it be?!" he said with obvious worry in his voice.

Lily jumped down into the mud and started searching through the mud.....nothing. She looked over at him. "Maybe it fell while we were flying. you fly up and show me the path you took, and I'll stay on ground and look for the pendant. How about that?" she looked hopeful. It was a long shot, but right now it looked like their only shot. "It's worth a try....."

Darius looked doubtful but she was right, it was worth a shot. "Ok," he said pausing to colect himself, "I'll look when I'm done I'll come back." He flapped his wings and started to hover in the air.

Lily nodded pulling herself out of the gorge of mud and unto the side of the ridge. She was worried, what could the pendant mean to him that is was so important? For her, it was life, but for him, it could be anything worse, or nothing but a trinket given to him by his father perhaps. Either way they had to get it back, there was no denying that. The question now was......how??

Darius flew off in the direction over and over. He must have checked at least 5 times as close as possible. There was nothing. He looked as though he would cry soon if he did not find it, for him it was that important! He started to fly back to the gorge. He reached the gorge and sat next to Lily his face forlorn. "Nothing." he replied.

Lily sighed. "Ok, well think.....hard, when was the last time you looked at it? what did it look like? where were you when you saw it last? just think about it, maybe it will come to you." She put her arm around him and gently rubbed his arm. "Whats the importance of it?" she asked softly.

Darius looked down at the mud. He sighed and got ready to begin, " It, was my tenth birthday. It-it was a birthday presant. From my parents. We were seperated a little while after my birthday and then," he stopped. He couldn't remember the rest it was all a white blur. "I can't remember the rest. It's the last thing I have that reminds me of my parents," he paused once more and then continued in one of the softest most inocennt voices ever, "That little blue cross." He then slid down the rock face and started digging through the mud.

Lily sighed, this was big. It was a memory, she of all people knew how dearly memories were held to ones heart. She slid down after him and began digging with him. "So we're looking for a blue cross?" she asked as she continued to look through the mud for anyhthing that could be it.

"Yes it's a crystal," he replied. He waded through the mud silently lost in thought. Lily was the first person he ever told about this, his wings, and his past. He never opened up to someone this much. It was new to him. He continued digging with that thought lingering in his mind.

Lily continued to dig and look, but to no avail. After about 10minutes of digging in silence she looked up at him. "We'll find it." She said softly, "Even if we're here all night, we'll find it....." Lily gave him a weak smile and continued her digging, hand after hand of mud and grime.

"I know," he paused and sighed and then continued on, " We have to keep searching." He continued to dig now takeing bigger swipes into the bog whole arm lengths of it. He was sweating in the midday sun as it shone down on him and it seemed concentrated just on him.

Lily continued to dig through the mud till she found something..........slowly and cautiously she scraped the mud off it. It was a blue Crystal Cross. She mouth slowly curved into a huge smile. She looked over at Darius who was still digging. "Darius.....is this it??" she asked. Of course she was almost posotive it was, she just had to make sure.
