Amelia: Standing beneath the promised tree Amelia awaits the arrival of her sister. It was only a day and a half ago that Ana had approached her while she was with Erchan to tell her they needed to speak and give her the location of the meet. "I wonder where she is?" Amelia muttered, her eyes scanning the area.
Anaon: She walked silently, enjoying how her hooves made no noise against the leafy ground; a few days before she had approached her sister wanting to discuss something with her. A green glow appeared before Ana, a small smile crossed her countenance, always punctual her sister was.
Amelia: Just as she had begun to whether or not this was another of her sister's practical jokes she caught the glimpse of bronze armor coming her way. Releasing a sigh of relief at not having been pranked she painted an easy smile on her maw and shook her head. "Late as usual Ana." She greeted in a playful tone. Ever since meeting Erchan she had learned to lighten up a little, her sister's suggestion finally making sense and taking hold. "What did you wish to talk about?"
Anaon: Her smile brightened at the sight of her sister and the playful tone that she used; it was because of her sister’s new love that she finally learned to lighten up and have fun. For that, Ana was grateful to Erchan. Bright green eyes locked on to her sisters, “I have to leave, I have already told mother and Alma promised to watch over her. I have stumbled upon some information that would be very beneficial to this family.”
Amelia: She did not answer her sister immediately but instead stood a moment assessing her sister's appearance. Why hadn't she noticed how Anaon had grown? Though she still had her moments where she was that immature prankster before she had surely grown into a well rounded mare. "Leaving?" The words came out in a small choke. Though they had been separated for a short while Amelia had spent much of her life near her sister, what would she do when she didn't know how or where to find her. Inhaling deeply she regained her composure and nodded, reassuring herself that her sister would in fact return. "What kind of information?" She pressed.
Anaon: She had not meant to be so abrupt about the statement, but time was of the essence. Amelia was falling deeper and deeper in love with Erchan and worry that she may burn him. Ana looked down at her plane hooves, she would never have to worry about burning people, although she has felt those green flames lick her legs at times when she pushed her sister too far. “Yes leaving, I am not sure for how long I will be gone. During my many missions to practice being a spy and committing a few tricks here and there, I stumbled upon an interesting piece of information, story has it that there is a flower that protects those who eat it from flame.”
Amelia: If the steel plate upon her brow had not been there Ana would have seen the odd expression forming on her sister's countenance. Though she immediately believed this information to be false her heart began to race. What if there was such a thing? She would never have to worry about burning her beloved if they attempted to get close. Her thoughts went to her father and mother but instantly veered away, it was too late for them. Perhaps the flames had never been an issue, surely her father had left before even having to worry about it. "Ana," she started calmly, "I believe you have been tricked. There cannot possibly be such a thing in existence."
Anaon: Her sister did not believe her, but that did not faze Ana, her sister did not believe in most of things that Anaon partook in. She gave a knowing smile to her sister, “No one tricks the Trickster, but if I have been tricked o well, if I do not try and search, then we will not know for sure if the plant truly exists or not.” Her brown wings fluttered as she waited for her sister to think about what she was saying; there was no harm in trying.
Amelia: Though she understood her sister's logic it did not keep her from worrying for her safety. If this thing was a hoax then fine but if her sister ended up being wounded in the process Amelia would never forgive herself. "Where is this supposedly located?" Her tone made clear that she had not decided to believe in this but more so that she was seeing what her sister was up to. She didn't mean to sound so much like her mother but sometimes it just happened. The last thing she wanted was for her sister to fall into some kind of trap. "Some tricks are harmless but some are not." She added with a stern look.
Anaon: She looked away from her sister, she knew the answer she was about to say would upset her sister, but it must be said and the flower must be found, “I have heard that it is located in the desert, but I am not sure the exact location yet. Tomorrow I am going to seek out the help of Wystan, since I am sure he knows something about it.” Anaon looked her sister in the eye, “I know sister, remember I am a Trickster as well. I may not have flaming hooves and I may be small, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve to keep myself safe. And plus I may ask my Best Friend to tag along, although I have not asked him as of yet…”
Amelia: The flames on her hooves grew a little in volume and ferocity. The desert? Her sister was about to traverse into the desert to find a plant? Instantly her logic told her this whole thing was a lie. Not many plants grew in the desert let alone magical fireproof ones. "Anaon I cannot simply stand by while you wander off into the desert in search of something that may or may not exist. The likelihood of something such as that surviving in the desert is very low." With a sigh she shook the white strand of hair from her face and looked her sister in the eye. "What would mother do if you were to not return?" Her mother's already pain filled face entered her mind and she had to fight off the wave of pity building up within her chest. "She already lost father and our sibling, she cannot lose you too." She silenced herself and allowed her sister to finish speaking but still did not feel at ease. "Who is this friend you speak of? Are they equipped to handle such climate and terrain?" Though she desperately wished to believe there was a way she could keep from hurting Erchan she just couldn't agree to her sister risking her life for it.
Issac: /His head lifted from the basket of apples he had been filling for the past hour. Setting them on his back he trotted off to find the familiar voice of his best friend that the wind had carried over to him. "You're planning on going to the desert, Lia? Why do you get to have all the fun and adventure?!" /With a playful pout of his lips he kept speaking. "Go on then, go have a epic adventure, just bring me back a sorry gift at least."
Anaon: She had guessed right, Amelia was not a happy camper at this time. Where was Erchan to calm her down? “Amelia, hooves. We don’t want to burn this forest down like the last one…” A sigh escaped from Ana, this was not going so well, but she knew that when she opened her mouth to tell her sister the plan that things would get complicated. “Think about it sister, it is a plant that prevents the eater from feeling the burn of flame, would it not make sense that something that can do that would grow in a hot desolate place? I will return Dear Sister, like I always do and make your life so much better upon my return!” Ana smiled, “You know who he is, Issac, my foalhood friend, the one who now makes me look incredibly short,” she gives a small laugh, trying to lighten up the mood.
Ana turns to look at Issac and give him a huge smile, "Hello there Honey! Amelia is not going to the desert; if she was she would bake like a potato. I am going... going to find a flower. Do you want to come with me? I know it is a lot to ask."
Amelia: Her hooves burned ever brighter at the mention of their old forest home, the one she had unintentionally burned down before she had even known the flames on her feet would do something so terrible. She was often plagued with the memory of all the lives of creatures lost due to her. Inhaling deeply she attempted to calm the flames burning outwardly and inwardly. Though her sister had made sense about the plant Amelia could hold in her feelings no longer. "How would my life be made better at the cost of yours?! Certainly I would love to be able to be close to Erchan without worrying about burning him but I do not want to do that at the cost of your life. You and mom are all I have of our family and I refuse to have you die because of something like this!" She would have continued had another not approached. Calming herself and toning down the fire on her legs she looked to Issac and plastered a forced smile on her maw. "I am hoping no one has an adventure here so I hope I have not offended you still." As soon as her sister recruited Issac her glowing green eyes flashed. "Ana, you in danger is enough but to put another at risk because of me is more than I can take." How she wished her rock were here, standing beside her now to catch her as her knees wobbled and her heart throbbed. She didn't want any more beings getting hurt because of her.
Anaon: Completely unexpected, she knew that her sister cared deeply for her, but never to this extent, “Sister, please listen to me, I am so… honored that you care for me so much and that you love me this much. I love you with my whole heart and soul, that is why I want to do this for you and Erchan. I want the two of you to be happy and have the life that we all want for you. I can do this and I want to help; it pains me to see you suffer and worry about burning the ones you love. Why won’t you let me do this for you? Please Amelia?” Ana looked to her best friend, with his size he appear to loom over her, “I will not place him in danger, if he does not wish to go, then he does not have to. It is his choice.” Ana looks up at Issac.
Issac: /Raising an eyebrow he bumped up against Anaon lightly with his hip. "So this is the sister that I have been hearing about, finally I see her in person!" /He gave a short but curt frown as his head turned and looked down at Anaon. "I will not let you go to the desert alone; of course I will go with you. Lia, I understand that you are just thinking about her but frankly I think Ana will be going no matter what, isn't it best if I go with her? I could play the role of a pack mule and carry all the water we need."
Amelia: She had already lost this battle and she knew it, two against one and no Erchan to help her. She looked from her sister to Isaac and back to her sister again, analyzing the situation in the manner that her grandmother often did. Though she knew Isaac was right about Ana going regardless of what she was saying she continued to think, attempting to pull something out of thin air that would halt her sister. Nothing came to mind and she lowered her head in defeat. "I suppose there is nothing I can say or do then to keep you from going on this fool’s errand..." Lifting her head and allowing her hooves to burn brightly she approached Isaac and looked him directly in the eye. "Not only do I want for you to return unharmed but I desperately want her back in one piece. Please take care of her and yourself, don't put your injuries on my head." She would never forgive herself if something were to happen to them while going on a quest practically centered around her. "Please." She repeated.
Issac: /His head lifted into a proud but sure pose as he stared down at the flaming angeni before him. "I can promise you Lia that I want nothing more than for us both to come back safe and sound as well with this flower. I will make sure your sister gets back, myself if everything goes alright towing behind her. Any injuries that will not (hopefully) happen will not be put on your head, the blame is on us for being stupid enough to go in the desert." /Snapping himself out of the serious moment he gave his normal cheerful, care-free grin at her. "C'mon Lia, after this is all done we can laugh on how silly it was to be so worried, we'll be okay, and we will be bringing home that flower."
Anaon: Things were working out, but she did not expect the deep aching pain in her stomach at the thought of leaving her sister, what she was about to do was risky, but it would be worth it in the end and make the family happy. And her sister’s happiness was all that mattered. “Thank you Sister, it makes me less sick to my stomach to know that you understand why I must go on this ‘fool’s errand’ as you call it and plus you have called me a fool plenty of times, so who better to go on a fool’s quest than a fool?” Anaon craned her head to look at Issac in the eye, “Stupid? Who us? We can never be stupid… well never mind I take that back… but you are right, we will load you up with water and all the other necessities.” Ana removed her gaze from her friend and plastered it on her sister, “We will return and with us the flower of legend. You will be proved wrong oh darling sister.” Anaon gave her sister a huge grin.
Amelia: Though what they were saying should reassure her it did not. She still worried for her sister's safety and now she had Isaac to worry about as well. Her gut was twisting and turning and she began to desperately wish her mate was there so she may lean on him and take strength from his presence. Taking a step back she allowed them to bicker as she looked skyward, focusing on the last little bit of light before the sun fell below the horizon. It was her deepest fear to have her sister never return again, she didn't want to lose any more of her family and she knew it would destroy her mother. "Just be careful." She murmured, knowing they had already sworn as much but her mind seemingly fixated on this and this alone.
Issac: /Why he could not understand the twisting knot that was their stomach that both females were feeling at this moment he could see the feelings play out on Anaon's face, none of them were pleasant, he for one didn't like that she was feeling them in the first place! Craning his head down even when she started grinning he nosed the side of her face. Sending a silent but comforting message to her that he was there, and it was going to be okay. "We may be called stupid, but stupid actions lead to crazy and great outcomes."
Anaon: Seeing the pain in her sister’s eyes, Ana felt wetness swell in hers, but she locked them away, she needed to be strong for this mission to be a success. On her silent hooves she walked over to her sister and nuzzled her, the flames no longer hurting her as they once did when she was little; she tormented her sister a lot, so burning was quite frequent, and she no longer felt the sting when her sister was calm. “Sister you know me, I am always careful. I will return in one piece and keep this big boy here safe from harm. I wish you could come with us, but the desert sun would bake you.” Anaon leaned into Issac, he will be a comforting presence during the trip to the dry desert, she gave a small laugh at his words, “Yes, you are absolutely correct and that is what makes everything so exciting.”

Erchan: ~stretching himself slowly, he rose from the spot he had chosen to rest for a while. Working out the kinks in his body the stallion spread out his wing as he glanced around. Smiling lightly as he spotted his mate, Tossing his hair from his eyes he began his normal process of trying to sneak up behind her~
Amelia: She sighed and leaned into her sister's comfort, they hadn't often been affectionate but now she somewhat needed the support. "I trust both of you and I know you are more than capable of taking care of yourselves but I shall always worry." She stepped back and looked at both of them. She hadn't even met Issac before now, maybe they had interacted once but it wasn't as though they knew eachother and yet he was willing to go in search of this plant as well. Surely he was doing it more for Ana then for her and that made her happy, at least her sister would not be alone. The hard fact that she could not join them caused her innards to twist even more, she and the sun did not get along well due to her dark colors. Even so, she would have hated to leave Erchan behind, it had become hard to pull herself from his side even for a short time. "Have you told mother?" She asked, looking her sister hard in the eyes. "I know you told Alma but did you let mother know?" She was unaware of her mate coming up behind her at the moment due to her stress but every fiber of her being was wishing he was there.
Binky: *continues to run around on her hind paws, fluffy white tail a flag of pink and white rings behind her as she b-lines right for Erchan's legs*
Idonea: *Fallows behind her little friend, bell tinkling with her every step and she watches the raccoon head for the legs of a familiar stallion.*
Erchan; ~blinks and turns his head to see Idonea and Binky~ Ah! No not my hair by familiar Back! ~flares his wings trying to protect his hair and he contiuned forward plowing into his mate's back end~
Idonea: *snickers at binky*
Binky: * Leaps flinging herself at erchan's mane giggling*
Issac: "It is normal to worry, Lia. If we don't come back within three months you can let that worry take over and call out a search party for us. /He couldn't say much else, the talk had switched private between the two sisters, all he could do is lean against Anaon and rest his head against the top of hers, eves-dropping why he did so.
Anaon: Her eyes widened as more soquili arrived at the scene, the one on one had increased to three and then to five. And now it was three to one on the idea of Anaon leaving, but no matter what the verdict, Anaon was leaving that night with Issac in search of her and Amelia’s Unlce Wys. Anaon looked back to Amelia, pushing the others from her mind, “Yes, I told her, she did not take it well, but in the end I was able to convince her that this is the best choice of action, I want both of you to be happy. I want you to be able to snuggle with Erchan and not have him get burned. I want mother to be able to give you a loving nuzzle and have her legs be protected from your flame.” Anaon unable to turn to look at Issac since his head was on top of hers, leaned into him again and said to the bulky stallion, “I think it may take longer than three months darling… so if that is too much time for you to be away I will completely understand.”
Amelia: Upon hearing that her mother had been informed she felt a little more nervous, knowing she would have to return and hear her mother's thoughts on it. She had no doubt in her mind that Lumriel had agreed to this but she knew, like her, her mother would be worrying about Ana non stop. Three months? Amelia wasn't so stupid as to presume this would take a few days but three months or longer had her unsettled once more. "Ana, if Wystan cannot give you an answer I will stop you from going. I am already on edge about this but to think of you walking blind in a desert in search of this thing is a line I am unwilling to cross." Just as she was about to continue something heavy and hard bumped into her rear end and she was lurched forward. Irritation combined with her stress but upon whirling around she found herself looking to her mate, the one she had been wishing to come since this conversation had begun. Perhaps he could help her. Resting her head on his chest she gathered her breathing and spoke gently. "Ana is leaving for the desert in order to find a mystical plant." She summed the conversation up considerably but that was the gist.
Erchan: ~blinks and steps back from Amelia, listening to her he frowned.~ Does she know what plant she's looking for. Dad's cave isn't to far from a desert. Kezia might know where to find it. She knows all about plants. My haiiirrr ~turning Erchan tried to untangle Binky from his hair~ Idonea! get it out!
Idonea: * Can't help but to laugh even harder* My num likes soft things..
Binky: It's soft! * Looks back at idonea* We keep it please!!!!! *looks hopeful*
Idonea: *reading Binky's lips she shakes her head* Not ours Binky...
Erchan: Idonea, please get it out?
Issac: /He let out a snort at her words, no way in all hell would he be willing to let her stay out there in the desert for three months or more without him. "Three months should just start us off, it will most likely take them another three to four months just to find us in the desert once we get out there, hopefully by that time we can find the flower and take it back, if not we can ninja our way past them to keep looking." /His head went to the side slightly. "Who is this Wystan? Why does is his okay on this subject so important?"
Anaon: “I have no doubt that Wystan has the answers that I seek, since he seems to know everything… and if it makes you feel better I will have Nakita teach me a few moves so I can protect myself and Issac while we are in the desert.” Anaon watched with an amused smile when Erchan bumped into Amelia, she did not know until that moment that her sister did not see her mate behind her. “When you put it like that it makes it seem like I am crazy and in search for something that does not exist.” Anaon contemplated on the idea that Erchan knew of a shelter near the desert, “That will definitely be beneficial, a cave could be extremely helpful… Issac, that rough estimation is about right give or take a few months.” Anaon smiled, “Ninja our way? You’re a ninja now? And Wystan is our adoptive Uncle, he is a detective and prides himself on finding out as much information as he possibly can. He is our best bet to finding the location of the Flower.”
Amelia: Wystan would have the answer and perhaps that is what worried her even more. She desperately wanted to think there was some flower out there that would allow her to touch others without burning them but at the same time she wished something like that didn't exist so her sister could stay somewhere safer than in a desert. She had no doubt that they would take care of one another and she had a little inkling inside her that Issac cared enough about Ana to make sure she was safe. She had given her permission but that did not mean she had to be happy about it or totally agree with it. "Very well." She said simply. Taking a step forward she nuzzled her sister in a farewell. "Finding me should be your first priority when you get back so I may relax. Journey forth." She then turned to Issac and nuzzled his neck for she could not reach anything higher. "I look forward to seeing both of you when you return." Stepping back she bowed her head and turned to walk away. She needed to take a walk and clear her head or wrap it around what had just happened. "Goodbye." She called over her shoulder. She stopped and watched Erchan as he struggled to get a small furry animal out of his hair, her thoughts still spinning.
Issac: "Is there anyway you could have your father be there with food and water when we come to this cave? It could be a fail safe for us in case we run out. Rough estimations Darling are not always correct, we could find it very quickly or slowly, always good to have a plan B...and C." /He paused to give a grin. "I always have, I had to learn to be one so I could wiggle out of your pranks. I see, he could prove to be a very good alley to have with this trip! With his help we can find it in a snap!"
