This is a approved quest, please do not post unless contacted the proper figures and permission was granted.

The elf was just finished packing, he slung his pack over his shoulder and strapped his sword by his waist side. He seemed a bit sluggish, just havign finally healed. Yami looked down and noticed his journal that he left lay on the bed.

"Can't be forgetting this," he said as he picked the book up to place in his pack," Haven't been able to keep up with it much lately, but I have a feeling this'll be gettign plenty of use soon."

He gathered the rest of his things and came out into the open. He looked around to see the mess that Andromeda had made, he shook his head and wrapped his scarf around his face.

"Nothin but trouble, you cause her more and more all the time, just like a kid, Andromeda," he sighed as he rubbed his head, "Just about time to go."

The elf laugehd at the silly foal as it acted up for Rein. He gathered his thinsg and slung them over the back of his horse.

"Let's just try to be a bit more careful this time," he said muffled behind his scarf, " We don't need any trouble liek we had last time, nor do we need any interference. can't have anyone runnign off for no reason. Maybe your troublesome fae will stay home as well this time too."

He pulled himsef up onto his saddle and sat there, with a nod of his head, he turned and looked," Are we ready?"

He sat there stumped a bit, with his eys wide, she had not said a word to him. He just rubbed his head and got ready to go," Someone's in a good mood today," he said as he motioned for his horse to follow.

He sat back in his saddle and rode not far behidn Rein, but didn't get to far ahead, his eyes always watching. As the saddled rocked with the movement of his horse, hsi head bobbed side to side, watching for naythign that might approach. He knew the first part of the trip had them end up in the beach, he had imagined that it would be a splendid place to be, but the urgency in Rein's quest likely would not allow them to stop and enjoy it. He looked up at the birds flying overhead and would occassionally shield his eyes from the sun so that he could see clearly. The day was well past the morning and it was uncertain how logn it woudl take for them to reach even the beach, no less the tree they were headed to.

At the ocean the party stopped for a rest and a bite to eat. Yami dismounted from his horse and looked aroudn for a bit. Easing the tension from his horse, he removed his pack and slung it over his shoulder. His eyes looked around and found a rock to st himself upon. He sat his pack on the sand in front of the rock and stared out at water in front of him. The waves moved in and out and the clouds slowly moved over head, and the sun had moved position in the sky. By this time it was a little past noon.

He looked at his feet dangling slightly above the sand, then looked back out at the water. he was grateful that there was a bit of a breeze in the air, and it flowed through his scarf gently. His thoughts wavered in and out of past and present, but for the most part, he was just taking in the moment of the scenery, a calm before the storm at hand.

Yami was startled at the sudden sound nearby, he turned to see Rein mounting Mana and chaisng off after Andromeda. His eyes bugged out for a moment, then his hand smacked to his forehead.

"I swear of all the...," he cursed to himself, "Every single time, every single damn time."

He looked aroudn to see all the equipment was left behind, his eyes squinted and he let out a sigh," Looks like I'm up for pack duty again."

He looked at the packs left behind, looked at his horse, and his horse looked at him. Rubbing his head he spoke to his horse, "I'm not bound to force you to carry all this. Last time we just dashed off liek this I ended up in nothign but trouble, all becaus eof that foal. I think maybe this time, we'd be better off if we just stuck here and waited it out...wonder if the thought ever crossed her mind, Hey maybe she just wanted to take a bit of a run, she is a foal after all , she'll be right back."

He sat himself on the rock again and looked at his horse, and his horse looke dat him again.

"Yes...I know....don't look at me like that....everytime you look at me liek that I get in trouble."

His horse walked over to him and picked up him pack, nudging him in the stomach.

"Fiiiiine...have it your way...we''ll do it, just this last time, but I swear if anythign happenes again," he stopped and thought for a moment, then proceeded to moutn the horse in front of him and rode off after her.

Yami rode one for a while, the tracks on the sand beneath him began to fade, he push a little harder to try and catch up. He knew alot of things wer eleft behind and he wondered if any of it would be around when they got back, if they even did go back. He rode hard and fats to see Rein off in the distance. He rode on to hear the sound of her flute playing off in the distance, eh knew where he had to go, he just ha dto get there faster.

Yami finally caught up to Rein at the tree, he dismounted to find Rein had already collapsed.

"Damn`...because we ran off like that we have no bedding equippment or no means fo makign camp," he looked of at Andromeda, " You cause so much trouble you know that. "

He laughed a little as he took his coat off and laid it in a soft sport of ground underneath the tree. He picked Rein's limp body off of the ground and carried her over to that spot under the tree.

"Better hoep we can find something to eat or drink around here, we have no provisions, except maybe a canteen of water that I have in my pack. We ran off in such a hurry that we were not able to pick up any of the gear. That Andromeda, runnign off like that."

He leaned himself up against the tree after he wrapped Rein up in his coat," It'll have to do, we don't really have much else ,"

He looked over and spotted Mana, the alicorn nearby, Rein did ride her here after all, the poor thign looked exhausted. He noticed that she still had soem of her packs still on," Well, maybe there'll be soemthing in there that can help us, but I don't think we really have much."

He stood andwalked his way over to Mana and relieved he rof her packs. He rubbed her muzzle softly with his hand and tried to ease her into resting,"You've done enough, take this time to rest for a while."

Yami set the packs near where he sat underneath the tree, " I think I'll check them once we wake so I can see what we migh tneed or what migh tneed to be rationed for the time being," He leaned back and looke dup at the great tree above him. The tree had various colored fruits growing from it. He pondered what they might all be since none of them looked familiar, and he was cautious for even thinking that they might even have to settle as soem sort of food source, but would they be okay to eat? He lets his mind settle and leaned himself back against the tree, lettign the hours of the night take him into slumber.
