Continuing with his burning, Silion very nearly set an 'innocent' clump of leaves on fire before he drew away from it finding the strings of thread nearby. Sending that the way of the other set he looked around the area on the look out for more thread and anything else that might decide to sneak up on them. Thus far he'd managed to ignore the two girls beyond the occasional glance their way or two. Shaking his head he returned to the task at hand.

Silion's momentary lapse in attention saw a small shrub set aflame rather than the offending thread and he swore moving to stomp it out. Well at least he hadn't set something bigger on fire, that would have been worst than the bug attack. With his current mindset however, it wouldn't have been worst by much. Straightening with a sigh he silently hoped he hadn't brushed against any of the dyed threads in the brush behind him. Silion didn't doubt that the flits would likely do something like that if only to screw them over yet again.

It seemed things had finally gotten underway for the group as the thread burned and the smoke rose into the air, creating a cloying mist that drifted between the trees. Smoking debris was left in their wake, stamped out before the cinders could ignite a proper fire.
Before them the forest stretched onward, but the further they went, the fewer thread there was until, at last no thread could be found at all. The flits had all gathered in the trees around the apprentices and chirped, their sounds loud in the quiet night.
Perhaps they had hit a boundary of sorts?
Beyond, on the edge of the woods, Jakarth gave a nod and her gold disappeared into the air once more. The simulation was nearing its end and the deliberation would begin.
=====
SPECIAL EVENT: Your simulation is almost (finally?) over! Follow the flits out through one last area of thread. This next batch of rolls is your final chance to gain points... use the three final posts to really discuss your character's reaction to the events of the night, their path in getting here, and respond to rolls of the dice. Remember if you match the number in this roll, you get double the rolled points (ie. If I rol 3 and you roll 3, you get 6 points).

Kesin looked up at the noisy gathering of flits with a deep, relieved sigh. "Oh, finally, please tell me this means we're almost done."
She was tired, wet, cold, and had had a sharding terrible night, overall. While it had started and ended relatively well, the episode with the beetles had pretty much killed all of her enthusiasm for the simulation. It had been much, much harder than she had ever imagined some silly trial with thread-carrying flits could be, and she was exhausted. She couldn't remember ever being this tired, and she felt an unexpected pang of longing for home.
Which was ridiculous, Kes told herself. Why herd caprines for the rest of her life when she could have a wher? She'd once dreamed of runnerbeasts, but even those paled in comparison to the possibility before her. She just had to finish this stupid test.
Standing up a little straighter, she followed after the flits to take care of the last vestiges of fake thread.

Hus scorched a couple last clumps of thread turning as the gold fluttered down onto the branches to collect them. She assumed their test must be close to being over. Keeping a wary eye out for more clumps she might bump into she picked up into a trot with the others to head out of the woods. Sighing she rolled her shoulders and followed Kesin out and the others out. "Well I hope this is the end of it." Hus replied, but she had a feeling in her gut that hinted this might not be over just yet.

Making certain that he hadn't overlooked any clumps of thread and burning those that he had, Silion straightened with a soft groan at the chirping of the flits overhead. They were finally done then? At least he hoped that's what the chirping was about. The last time they'd made this much of a racket there had been swarms of bugs about... The thought made him shudder and he looked around before taking note of the gold flit hovering above them. So it was to lead them out then...good, he wanted to get out of this forest so that he could get out of these stinking leathers and scour himself until he either bled or the scent disappeared. Preferably the latter.
Keeping an eye on the flit, he was careful to hold the torch away from the vegetation in case any more surprises cropped up.

Hus glanced down at her soaked leathers, she still had the mild stink of those sharding bugs all over her. Looking to the others she sighed and hoped all this work and trouble had been worth it, hoping they had passed. "Hey." She said to Kesin with a nod offering a hand. "We never did introduce ourselves. I'm Hus by the way." Hus replied with a smile as they made their way through the woods.

"It had better be," Kesin mumbled in response. What else could there possibly be? More bugs? The young woman shuddered at the thought. But seriously, if they'd set up some kind of surprise ending to this debacle, she just might have a fit. The attack beetles had been more than enough of a surprise, thank you. Which made her wonder...had their supervisors known they were there?
If so, that was just plain cruel.
"Huh? Oh, Kesin," she responded, distracted by her thoughts, and loosely shook the other girl's hand.

"Good to meet you Kesin. Yeah hopefully this is the end of it and there will be no more unpleasant surprises." Hus replied with a smile and a growl at the thought of more bugs, fire or anything else that might be trouble. Knowing their teachers though there very well might be something worse lurking out there waiting for them. Hus wouldn't put it past them, she wouldn't put it past anyone.
Hopefully they had earned their eggs, earned their chance to become wher handlers. For a moment Hus paused looking up between the leaves to stare at the sky a slow grin creeping across her lips. Shard it all! She'd take what came in stride if it meant a shot at a wher egg.
Picking up her pace she lifted her torch a little higher to see the path keeping a wary eye on the gold as it lead them out of the woods.

"Hn. I say we get out of here before something else does happen." Accordingly, she broke into a jog, which was the fastest pace she could muster at the moment. The sooner they got out of here and the test was officially over, the sooner she could have a bath and change into clean, dry clothes. And sleep. Oh, she was so looking forward to falling into bed and passing out.

Keeping his eyes on the others and on the gold flit, Silion was paying just enough attention to follow as his mind wandered. So many years spent trying to make himself worthy in the eyes of the dragonriders and then he'd managed to fudge up this one simple test by being mobbed by bugs. Something that wasn't his fault but he still blamed himself for not realizing something was wrong all the same. What if this had been a real threadfall? They could have all been injured or killed for not paying enough attention to their surroundings. Sighing softly to himself he shook his head and hurried on after the flit and the group not wanting to be left behind yet again.

Content that he'd managed to keep up with the group and not get lost (he'd sooner face an entire threadfall alone than get lost again here) once again, Silion gave a sigh of relief as the trees began to thin. They were almost out. Thankfully the flit hadn't lead them to another 'test'. At least he hoped it wasn't. He wanted nothing more than to scrub himself clean and then collapse in bed and not move again for another fifty turns.

The firelizards flitted along, their shadows swift and silent in the night, lit only by the group's torches as they passed. Thread occasionally still hung on the branches, place there by mischievous flits. Eventually, after a good bit of a hike, they reached the edge of the forest. It seemed they had driven themselves far deeper into the forest then had been expected... but considering they general lack of composure among the bugs it was not terribly surprising. Greeting them at the wood's edge was Jakarth, arms crossed over her chest and rather disappointed look in her gaze. Her wher whuffed and tossed his head at them and the man from before, who had been guarding the vat, was not gone and the vat empty. "More then a little worse for wear, I see," Jakarth said, shaking her head, "Your performance will be reviewed and the results, along with your comparison to your peers, will be posted on the Wherhandler Notice Boards. If you are accepted, the date of your Egg Ceremony will also be on the list. Now get back in the cart before you freeze to death." She gestured to the cart that was awaiting them and, with the assistance of her wher, clambered up to sit on the male's shoulders to walk alongside them in silence. Their simulation was done, they had nothing but to wait for the review's results. This Thread will LOCK at 5pm PST
