Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lunai and the four others carefully made their way back to Stardust's hut. She couldn't know for sure, but Lunai felt that all five remaining Fafnirs were still thinking about the incident. Especially Mo...this must be an extremely difficult time for her. Lunai vowed to be there for Mo if she needed comforting. But some dealt with bad feelings in different ways, so Lunai said nothing about it.

She knew those chains were a bad idea. From the second Lunai saw what Shun was wearing, she just knew they would cause problems. But it was not her place to speak on the issue, so she hadn't. At least now it was likely that Shun had learned a valuable lesson. And at least Kentiphae wasn't badly injured.

They reached Stardust's hut once again, and upon command, Lunai turned over her Flamestone. She then settled in to listed to the master Craftmaker's words. Her speech was long, and filled with valuable information. Lunai concentrated, making sure to remember every bit of the directions they were given. These instructions could mean the difference between life and death, and nobody wanted another incident to happen!

When Stardust finished, Lunai stood and stretched. The others would want to leave soon, and she did not want to be left behind. She would have preferred to travel at night, but it was not meant to be so. Silently, Lunai asked the Moon Goddess for continued luck, and then she was ready to go whenever everyone else was.

Mo travel back to Stardust's hut with her head in the clouds. She's wasn't entirly listening when their teacher gave her intructions but did remember giving up her flamestone. At the end of the speach she was hit in the head with Lunai's tail as she stretched. It didn't hurt but it did bring her back to reality. She padded over to Shun. "I just want you to know that I don't blame you. Someone was bound to be hurt. I don't think the five of us will all return with Chibins."

Mortimer remembered Starrdust's speach somehow. "Alright so first we should... travel through Hreidmar Forest and then cross into the Dead Lands?" She asked, standing up as if it was time to go. "We should set out quickly so we reach a safe place to spend the night. We definatly cannot make this trip in one day." She nodded and decided to take the lead, she took a few steps away and asked, "Is everyone ready?" Her voice craked a bit on the word everyone but she hoped no one noticed.

Zenzi returned to Stardust with the flamestone in her mouth. She was sad and happy all at the same time. She was happy she was going on and she made it, but yet at the same time she was sad. Kentiphae was the leader or he put his self in that position. She gently dropped the flamestone before her teacher and sat back with the others while she delivered the speech. This task was more difficult then the last one. There was a lot of details that she heard and they needed to be aware about. Zenzi did remember that when passing through Dead Lands there is a trick to it. She remembered not to travel on the beach, avoid the Gudrun Lake go through her clan's forest. There was more and she thought of them. She got up and stretched. She felt like an outcast. The quietest of them which she was she tried to communcated with them but they seemed not to care. She nodded when Mortimer asking if she was ready. She just nodded. She got up and followed Mortimer and then glanced at everyone else.

It seemed as though most everyone was ready to leave...but nobody was taking the lead. That had been Kentiphae's job last time, but with him gone, there was no clear leader to the group. SOMEONE had to do it, though. Lunai was getting antsy to leave, so it may as well be her.

"Okay, we should head out. It won't get any safer with time!" In fact, it would probably become more dangerous if they waited much longer. Lunai thrived in the nighttime, but so did many other creatures more dangerous than her!

Words alone wouldn't lead the group, though. She had to take some action as well. So after the words left her lips, Lunai took the first few steps on the road without looking back. Hopefully, the rest would follow!

Mo cocked ears at Shun. He had obvious knowledge of the forest and had to know the way. She didn't move a muscle when Lunai took a few steps. "Shun." She said quietly, "I think you should lead us this time." She nodded her head and slowly stood up to follow him.

Lunai hadn't really wanted to take the lead. It wasn't her nature - she was more of a follower, definitely. She had just needed to get the crowd going. So now that they were on their way, it made more sense for someone who knew the area to take charge. That Fafnir was Shun.

"It's alright, I don't mind if Shun takes charge. He would know the area better than me." Lunai slowed her pace to fall back in the crowd, letting Shun get to the front.
