"Stay safe." TJ says to Coins before trotting after Nyx and Carter, Blackie at his heels. He was still holding his staff, and only seems to just realize it. "Oh, macaroni. I forgot. What was this for?" He whispers to himself and Blackie, holding out the stick.
"Hmmmmmm.... Playing fetch?" Blackie suggested, wagging her tail mischievously. TJ shook his head, and clutched his staff closer to himself.

"I mean, the girl at the well told us to ask Carter what it was, so I'm assuming he knows."

Nyx turned her head towards him, as if waiting for an answer.

"Me?" Carter said looking surprised before flinching as the voice in his head screamed no me, idiot, I know what it is! and the voice explained and Carter repeated to the others "It's the staff for the colors, one for each color, it increases your power and it is the only way to open the temple of light, Hayden needs to be present for it to open of course. This one is green, so it is meant for TJ."

Hayden staggered but looked around carefully, trying to plan an escape, even though the room was spinning.
"Fine Isaac, you chose your side. I am forced to chose my side, I was destined to kill Tiffany and I hope you know that. I love you, but I can't follow my feeling here, I'm sorry," Hayden said before he turned to Yip, who was watching him with a smug expression.
"Sorry to burst your bubble Hayden," Yip said before grabbing him and bringing him to a prison cell, which he threw Hayden in "Enjoy!"
Yip walked back to Isaac "You okay? You seem a little... mixed."

(Look up :P )

Nyx was surprised Carter knew that much, staying quiet. She took a quick glance back towards Carter and TJ, going ahead by a few meters to check for any enemies.

There was a meadow in front of Nyx, in the meadow where a bunch of the stone emerald dragon thingies, with the grey ones still riding on top of them or well sitting, actually.
"Find them!" A girl, a very familiar girl, Lazi, yelled, lookinv pissed "Or you will be punished!"
The dragons and the grey ones started to look around, giving Lazi scared glances.

Nyx perked up, at the edge of the forest before crouching down low, signaling to TJ and Carter. She watched on, perhaps Lazi was some sort of higher rank than the others? Nyx shook her head, studying their scared glances.

He looked up at Yip. "I'll be fine, he just gets to me a little more than I'd proffer to admit. " He got up, having regained enough blood, "So mind showing me the ropes on shadowing Tiffany? I'd better get back to work." He gave a strained smile, feeling so conflicted by Hayden admitting love and all that bull#@%$ about being 'destined' to kill Tiffany. "Why does he have to twist my emotions ever chance he gets!" Isaac caught himself in the beginnings of panic and calmed down, falling silent.

Lazi smiled down at them "I love being a shadow," She said to herself before yelling down at the grey ones "Move faster!"
Of course the grey ones started searching faster, scared of what the punishment would be if they didn't.

Carter froze, hearing Lazi's words, then he understood, this was the shadow he had been warned about, wait, didn't they say shadows? There must be more then one... that worrying.

Yip shrugged, though he looked worried "The gold one is always stupid or at least acts like it since I knew him. Just relax for a second, I will be right back," He left the room, leaving Isaac alone with the grey ones.

Nyx listened in, shadow? What was that? She shook her head and observed the scene, the grey ones must of feared her, they obeyed her without any second thought. Nyx looked back to Carter and TJ, unsure if they should continue or stop.
