"No problem," Ashia walks back toward the finish line, "so I guess we should be moving on."
Justin goes and gets Shield who is in a slightly better mood now.

"Moving on where exactly?" Hazel asks.

Brandon and Matamba are doing what kids do sometimes. Okay, a lot of times. Have fun with whatever they got. At the moment, they were pretending that they had a castle of sticks was filled with soldiers... Which were whatever ants crawled in.

Barnabus and Jackson are...idk atm.

"I'll explain when we get there," Ashia answers, "so pack up and get ready to go."
Justin gets Shield ready to go and the red horse.

Hazel looked over her brother, Matamba, Drummer, and herself. "I think this is all that I grabbed." She said, and motioned to her brother and the spirit animals.

Sparky looks at the group, "I'm coming too."

"Alright then let's go," Ashia starts leading the red mare, "Jackson keep praticing and working with Barnabus."
Justin walks with Shield as he looks for danger.

Sparky follows on foot. That is a first, and most likely last time he will. After about a minute, he springs into a tree, and continues to follow from there.

Hazel follows. Drummer is in dormant form.

Brandon and Maramba are having fun, running around the group, oblivious to the fact that they may soon run out of energy.

Barnabus and Jackson nod as one. "Of course! And if I forget, Barnabus has promised to remind me." Jackson said.

Scarlet runs ovet to Barnabus, Good luck and if he doesn't remember I heard Ashia talking last night about a little suprise by the river for him. By that she meant a trap that only you could get him out of.

Justin and Ashia pick up the pace little but by little bit.

Barnabus smiled as only a bear can, My pleasure to help. Thanks, little sister. Jackson looked a tiny bit suspiciously at the two spirit animals, but shrugged it off.

After about five minutes, Brandon and Matamba are out of breath, and asking if they could stop for a few minutes.

Hazel is following quietly, thinking about what the day had brought.

Sparky is quiet in the trees. The only way you could tell he was still following was the occasional snap of a twig or sway of a branch as he moved to different trees.

Scarlet wags her tail, No problem big brother.

"You should have thought of that," Ashia speaks as she calls for a break.

Barnabus and Jackson waved good bye to the little fox. Barnabus called to the fox seriously, Safe travels, little sister.

Sparky climbs down to the lowest limb of one of the trees, "Anyone up for a tiny snack?" Hazel looked at him.

"What snack?" She asked, suspiciously. Sparky smiled, noting her hesitance, but the smile was a sad one.

"Squirrel jerky...if that is a thing." Sparky answered.

Brandon sat down under Sparky's tree. Matamba sat down, and watched her surroundings.
