Naito looked at the others getting items. He then looked down to notice a shiny crystal. "This will be perfect for Ava!" He was hoping it would be good enough to make her happy.

Atreyu watched the others finding things happily and he smirked, glad that they were enjoying themselves.
"It seems this treasure hunt has been a great success." He trotted the pile of stuff and gazed around the cave for something that called to him. He jumped onto a box and tilted his head when he noticed a purple and black bow sticking out from under a coat. Moving the coat aside, He stared in amazement at the new food bowl. From the light that Garaden had summoned, he could see that it looked like it painted in chamleon paint since it changed colors with the angle you looked at it. In the bowl was a large, thin bone that was sharpened at the end and a note; which he opened to read.
Dear Knight,
I'm glad you found Excalibur-er Excalipaw.
May it be of use to all your knights as a sign of good tiding to come.
Should any one of them ever need it, they will be able to wield it.
Good luck.
~LotL
Atreyu lifted up the new food bowl, Excalipaw and the note and slid down the pile of stuff to find join his companions. "Look, we have a new food bowl guys! What did everyone else get?"
Kai stumbled into a cavern and looked around at all the junk lying around. It looked like everyone was just picking one thing and then heading out of there but why? He would love to just pick everything and take it with him but that would be selfish and he was a knight...that was a no-no. Shaking his head, he looked over the stuff and frowned when he spotted a small box in wrapped in a hot pink bow that he seemed drawn to. Pawing the lid open, he stared down at the round jewel that looked like a tiny fire burning inside the gem. Laughing to himself and fighting the urge to break down into tears, he picked it up and hung it off of the leg of a table so he could slide it over his head. Smiling, he trotted back to the others.

Rudolf smiled at Atreyu. "Good. Bowl Food back." He said wagging his tail, "English books I got." He looked at where Roland went. He guessed that Roland found something good. "Go back?" He asked ready to start reading these books.
((OMG Is Rudolf finally going to talk right?!))
Roland placed his items on the floor and looked back at the others. "I found them!" He called, "I found the gunslingers guns. Plus I found a music box that Nephele will love." He was so happy that he now had the guns. Of course he couldn't use them and why would he. It was peaceful here. For now the guns would decorate the cabin that his owner lived in until he found the Dark Tower.

Journey sat just inside the cave enterance. She gave the others a goofy grin, floating on the discovery. She loved spices, and this would help give those rediculous bland foods life. She held her nose over the container, breathing in that sharp, lucious scent.
Garaden carefully picked up his treasure and carried it to the others. "It's a collection of mysteries." He said happily. "I can't wait to get back and put these in!"
He stepped forward for a better look at the new food bowl and yipped excitedly. "Whoa! It's perfect. It has all our colors on it."
Ivan hadn't moved from his place, staring at that little toy. Why would he need a puppy toy? ....Could... could he need it for...? No way. But what if...?

Atreyu looked around excitedly at the others and nodded at what Garaden said.
"Yes, I love the new bowl. It's almost like a part of us will always be in it...." He looked around at the others and then stretched. "We should be heading back, it's probably pretty late and I don't know how long Nimue's little enchantment on the bridge will last."
Kai looked at Journey's spices and shook his head.
"Note to self, never eat her food." He noticed Roland with guns and he yelped, jumping away from him in case they went off. He looked at Ivan's squeaky toy and covered his maw with his paw to hide his snickering.

Naito smiled happy that the others had found their treasure. He then listened to Atreyu. "Yeah. I really would like to go back soon so I can show Ava what I found for her."

Rudolf nodded. "Go alright we!" He said picking up his books. He noticed Ivan's toy however and laughed. "Toy got you." He said picking up his books again since he dropped them. He then began heading back the way they came.
Roland looked at Kai and laughed. "Don't worry about them. They're not loaded and I don't think they could fire even if they were." He said, "They're ancient." He picked up his items plus Nephele's and started towards the field.

Journey flicked her ears, listening to the knights. "Alright, we can go." Standing, she lengthened the bow so that the box could hang safely around her neck. "I must say, you guys are right interesting bunch. I might have to join you more often." Grinning back at them, she headed on out.
Garaden smiled. "Okay! Lets get this show on the-" He paused and cocked his head at Ivan. "Oy! We're moving out." He squinted at what lay in front of his guardian and barked with laughter. "Dude! You got a puppy toy! I wonder how soon you'll be able to use that?" Shaking his head, he picked up his case and followed after Journey.
Ivan shook his head, looking first at Rudolf, "Yeah. I know, but-" He jumped up, staring wide-eyed at Garaden's retreating figure. How soon? Geez! How soon indeed! He looked back at the toy and his tail started to sway slowly. "So.. I'm going to be.." But how soon? He had to get back now!

Atreyu looked at Journey and wagged his tail.
"You are always looking for more people to join us...you're more than welcome to tag along." He heard the conversation about Ivan and he tilted his head, staring at Ivan's toy. He wanted to laugh but the look on his friend's face made him think about the others back at the house. "Let's hope we didn't miss anything... come on."
Atreyu turned and began to trot towards the field where they had met up with Journey and left Nephele.
Kai shook his head at the others and then continued on after them, proud of his new necklace. He scanned the trees and bushes to make sure nothing was coming near but he couldn't smell anything for now.

Rudolf nodded and began the walk through the field. He soon was able to see where they had met up with Journey and left Nephele. Nephele was long gone by now and he wondered how she was going to get the music box.
Roland followed Rudolf and the others into the field. He looked around for Nephele but didn't see her anywhere. At the other edge of the field he stopped and put the things he was carrying down. "Nephele!" He yelled, "I've got your payment!" A few moments after he yelled the grass could be seen shaking in the distance. Then on his left Nephele popped out panting.
Nephele panted after running all the way to where Roland is. "What...... did...... you get....... me?" She gasped. She looked down at the items by his feet and grinned at the music box. "That'll be enough to cover the payment." She said with a nod. She picked up the box and began to walk off. She paused as she remembered her payment to Roland. She grinned at him. "Your payment is at the cabin." She said before leaving.
Elsewhere Ammy was running from teh house with her nose to the ground. She was sniffing and searching for any sign of the knights. She finally caught their scent as she got closer to the edge of the woods. She then quickly ran through the woods hoping she'd find Ivan soon. She continued running until she reached the river and bridge. The river was much worse then it had been when the knights had crossed it. She knew she wouldn't be able to use the bridge but maybe she could jump it. She backed up until she could barely see the river. She then ran forward at top speed and jumped doing a somersault in the air. She barely made it to the other side; her back paws slipping on the bank. She began barking calling Ivan.

Journey turning and blinked at Atreyu. "Join?" She smiled. "Huh. Now there's an idea..." Still grinning, she trotted across the field.
Garaden cocked his head. "Journey a knight? Wouldn't that be a knightess or something?" He shrugged, then grinned and headed across. He paused when he heard a familiar bark. "Isn't that the goddess. Uh, what's her name..." He spun around as Ivan suddenly groaned loudly. "Ivan! What is it?"
Having followed Journey's lead, Ivan's treasure was now hanging around his neck. His mind on new thoughts, he was caught offguard when first a deep ungency filled his mind, then sudden pain. His whole body started to ache. It wasn't terrible, but enough to make him grind his teeth. "I don't know." He hissed.
His head snapped up as Ammy's barking reached his ears. She was calling for him! "Ammy!" He barked. Fighting back the ache, he took off across the field, somehow avoiding the holes the rocks. "Ammy!"

Atreyu had the ribbon the food bowl and the bone were wrapped in, dangling from his mouth. His words were muffled slightly but he spoke slowly so everyone could hear him.
"I don't know... maybe knight just goes along with both genders. She would be following in the steps of Joan of Arc." Atreyu said with a wise nod, remembering that story very well. He heard Roland shout for Nephele and he hoped that what Roland had found suited her. He didn't want to upset her after she had helped them find on the right path. It was then that his ears twitched when he heard barking and he frowned, recognizing it. "It's Ammy..." He looked at the others and then began to pick up the pace. "Come on you guys..."
He watched as Ivan sprinted ahead towards the sound of the sun goddess.
Kai lifted his head when he heard the familiar barking and he perked up at once.
"Ammy? What's she doing all the way ou- hey!" He watched as Ivan took off across the field. "Be careful man or you're going to break something!"

Rudolf tilted his head when he heard Ammy barking. "Urgent sound." He said picking up the pace. He watched as Ivan went sprinting ahead. "Careful!" He called.
Roland nodded at what Nephele said before she left. He would have to go to the cabin and see what she left. He looked at Atreyu and nodded. "I think that's right." He said. His ears twitched when he heard Ammy barking. "Why does she want Ivan?"
Ammy heard Ivan calling back. So they were nearby. She barked saying I'm by the river. She sat down and waited for him.
((Ivan's having sympathy pains. XD))

"Joan of Arc? Me?" She tipped her nose up and smiled wistfully. "Lady Journey. Knight of the round food bowl. That has a nice ring to it."
Distracted by the new voice, Journey yelped with suprise when Ivan flew past her. "What the buzzards is his hurry?"
Garaden looked around the group. "Did I miss something? First he's doing fine, the next he's looking like he's in pain and then running like Hell's biting at his tail." 'He's meeting Ammy. He'll be alright, I hope.'
Giving his nose a worried lick, he sighed and skipped over to Rudolf. "I don't know what he's doing, but that doesn't mean I forgot I'm trying to keep you from getting hurt." Managing a small smile, he lead the way across the field, this time going around the rocks instead of over them.
Ivan ran back along their path, leaving the field, through the woods where they had met Nephele, and jumping over the big puddles. His shoulder was aching again by the time he reached the river. He spotted Ammy quickly and ran to her. "What-is-it-Ammy." He asked, turning his question into a single word.
((Considering his connection with Raisa, these are a little more than "sympathy" pains. X3 ))

(Just random wondering...how did they get that deep of a connection?)
Naito was wondering why Ivan was in such a rush, but he didn't do anything except quietly ran a long with the other moonlits. How he was excited to show Ava what he had got for her.
