As the group entered Domina, they noticed the small town was very quiet and hardly anyone had left their houses to walk around. The first building they spotted was a Pub.
Crystal giggled a bit, "This is the place!" and skipped up to the door, telling Ryuusei to hold it open for everyone. Ryuu noticed a sign on the door reading 'NO ANIMALS. CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY ADULTS' and sighed. "No animals..." he mumbled.
Behind the bar stood a young looking girl with faerie wings. She looked rather bored, and seemed to be staring at the wall.
"Rachel!" Crystal jumped up and down below the bar. Rena lifted Crystal up onto a barstool and took a seat next to her.
"Ah..." Rachel snapped out of it and gave a tiny smile. "So you've made it.."
"Yep! And we're on our way to Ulkan Mines. Have you ever been there?" Crystal announced proudly.
Rachel nodded and pulled a little bottle out from under the bar. She placed her hand atop it and began. "There's a quicker way to get there...I had a look at your map, Rena gave me a copy...and well, I can help you get to Ulkan real fast....Just follow me.." She took everyone into a room in the back of the pub, closing the door behind them all. There was a set of stairs leading into an underground tunnel....Any animals with the parties were let in and sneaked through into the tunnel...

Mesmerelda looked at the sign as she sat atop Dawn's back and said, "Well Dawn silly, you're not an animal!" as she urged her into the pub.
Once they were led down into the tunnel she began looking around at the walls. "Crystal..this seems scary. Are you sure its MUCH faster? You know...faster to get out of? She asked, looking around for their leader.

The green haired Jumi child walked about happily, it was a good feeling to help someone in need. She felt what Kira told her before, that everytime she does something nice or good, a happy little feeling will burst out of her. The happiness on the girl's face was apparent, and she swung the pouch about freely, until she got to the door of the Pub. Squinting at the sign, she read aloud, "'NO ANIMALS. CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY ADULTS," she was safe, she had two adults acompanying her and no animals. She entered freely.
When the thief saw the sign, his eyes squinted, trying to read it. "Noo amimals...chil'un moose..." in mere seconds he gave up. It was true that he's illiterate, but that didn't mean he was stupid. After hearing what Emarude read, he grinned, bending his head down to face her.
"That means ya, laddy," his tone of voice suggesting a hint of cruelty. Though he was just ignored.
When the trio entered the bar, they all could see a fairy slumped over the bartop. Quickly, the fairy named Rachel lead the group down a tunnel with a flight of stairs behind the barshop. "Hey, errm, are you sure this is uh, you know, safe," Kira suggested, slightly frightened.

Remus turned his nose up at the offending sign. No animals, hmph. Like he'd listen to anyone who tried to keep him out. Head held high, he marched into the bar and followed the company.
"You sure this's okay, Rem?" Ying asked worriedly.
"I'd like to see anyone try to stop me."
"So would I," chuckled Eriol from a short distance behind them.

Still sulking over not being the one to discover the blocks, Arc seemed to drag as she entered the pub, headphones blasting loudly.
Melody wrinkled her nose, heaving a sigh. Ew. This place smelled like Junyi's birthday party.
...Boyan could use a drink right about now. >>~

Children must be accompanied by adults ?
Tsumi snorted. Quite loudly. She was no kid, no matter how much she looked like one at the moment !
And she'lld like to see them try to kick HER out. A pirate do not let herself kicked out quite this easely.
Smirking at the tought and twirling a red staff, she hummed a little to herself.
Think of it, *she* could use a drink right now, too...
However, she did not get the time to get an order in before the group had decided to go ahead. Woe was she...
"Ah sure we be fine." Tsumi glanced torward Mes, grinning. ""Side, if there be any bad guys, I bump 'em in the end with this, ya see, lady ?"

"Oh Phew!" Mesmerelda commented to the jumi that came up to her. "I have a feeling there might be some bad guys that need some bumpin in this here darkened tunnel."

After a rather long trip through the tunnel (XD), the group finally made it into what seemed to be the bowels of a rather large cave. It smelled of coal and various other mining materials. Rena, put off by the stench, grumbled and glared down at Crystal. "Dragging me down here...."
Rachel giggled to herself, quickly running out infront of the group and stoping them. "This is your destination..Ulkan Mines. I hope you find what's doing..." She looked down at all the tiny Jumi. "Ahem...shrinking all of you." And at that, she ran back into the tunnel, hoping her parents didn't find her missing from work.
As soon as Rachel was out of sight, the group was surprised by a rumble and the sudden drop of large rocks from above them. Almost as soon as it had started, it stoped...and the path ahead of them was blocked!
But...something else was wrong. Rena whimpered and groaned a bit, looking around franticly. "Damnit!! I can't lose the Clarius. I'm in deep s**t if she dies!!" Crystal was nowhere to be found...but a familiar voice called out to all the Jumi in the cave...and it drew them towards the blocked path.
What in the world was going on...

Suddenly large boulders were falling above their heads? "Holy cow!" Kira tried her best to dive for cover, however the boulders didn't fall on them, it appeared. However, she did turn to make sure Kyou and Emarude was alright. With a sigh of relief, she turned to face the front. Was there someone trying to stop them?

Eriol twitched and slowly lifted himself up from where he had tried to cover Ying. "Everyone okay?" he asked, not entirely alright himself.
Coughing, Ying nodded shakily. "I'm- I'm fine. I think."
"Same," Remus grunted, shaking himself off. "As long as that doesn't happen again."
"Right. Well, since we can't go on, I'm gonna go back'n see if we can get some help." Nodding to the duo of Jumi and Tala, he reversed direction and set off at a dead run. Maybe he could catch that girl that took them here... besides, she was kinda cute.
"Be careful!" Ying waved after Eriol, then turned just in time to catch the latest bad news. "What? Crystal's gone? But... we have to find her!"
The rock wall was the only barrier. Dropping her bags, the young Jumi started to climb, but she didn't make it far.
Grumbling, Remus grabbed Ying's robes in his teeth. "Geh om," he grunted, stretching his wings. This would be tricky, but possibly, well, possible.

Mesmerelda clung tightly around Dawn's neck as she looked forlorned watching Eriol leave them.
She looked at the big rock and thought. "Daaaaaawn." She drawled, looking down at her tala companion.
"Yes sweetie?" The tala asked, looking up.
"Lets go climb those rocks, up and over!" She said happily, pointing to the moutain of rocks that seemed to have lots of footholes.
"You mean me climb and carry you." Dawn said, sticking out her toung and heading to the pile of rocks placing her front paws on them and climbing up, trying to not angle too much so her passenger wouldn;t fall off.

Ryuusei watched silently as the two other Tala began scaling over the large pile of rocks. Reluctantly, he offered his back to any other Jumi children needing help over the rocks.
Rena grumbled loudly, grabbing onto big, sharp rocks and pulling herself up onto the top of the rocks. "Damn girl..." she muttered as she jumped down to the other side....
There were a few muffled groans moments later...then silence. Only the sounds of the Tala scaling the rocks could be heard...
Ryuusei felt something was really wrong here and nudged at the other Tala's back legs. "Something happened...something bad. I just know it." So he began to climb as fast as he could, hoping he could help his owners..

Since everyone was climbing up and over the rocks, Emarude felt the need to go over them too. Crystal was on the other side, wasn't she? She felt obliged to help, or save the Clarius, afterall without her the green haired girl would've never came to life. "Kyou-kun, if you--" her setence was already cut off when the tall, navy haired boy leaned against the rocks and held her up high, lifting her up to the Tala's above for help.
"Damn kids..." he murmured to himself before pushing Kira up as well. He could climb up and over the rocks easily, otherwise he'd be ashamed as a thief.

Remus dropped Ying off at the top of the fallen rocks and panted. "Remind me never to do that again."
"Thanks Remy." The jumi threw her arms around the furred neck of her steed. "I can get down on my own."
"Good." It took a few moments to recover, but in that span of time he was almost as good as new, racing down the rocks at top speed.

s**t.
Tsumi also went to the rocks, using her stick to pull herself onward, but didn't seem to have too much difficulty... appart the fact that she was so small, of course.
"Lady Crystal !" She called out. "Where cha be, lady ?!?"
She slid down the other side, still lagging behind those who had their tala to help then, but not as much as she used to.
