(Delete the parentheses and it should work)

The Ryori's grin widened. "Lofty goals. You're an optimist, I assume. A rare type - but refreshing. Breaks the monotony of all the end-of-the-world types out there." Still grinning, a bit of a devilish glint entered his eye. "You're going to need more awareness of your surroundings though. Not once were you aware of the Zolnixis following you."

Draco: wow, so Zolnixis where following us this whole time?...
Samhain: they can't have my eggy *Protects Eggling

Flame: so whats your name?, I am Flame.

Samhain: I am Samhain and this is my Eggy

Draco: names Draco, nice to meet you..

"Hello..." Exponentia said from the shadows, in a light melodic voice. She jumps out. "BOO!!" Cackling, amused.

"My name?" The Ryori was still grinning widely. "Names are powerful things, and not something I share lightly. Perhaps I will tell you eventually - if you manage to do something as farfetched as to gain my trust. For now though" - here he paused, the grin fading, tilting his head as if to think. "You may call me Vale."

"Um...I think that's us..." Sakramitra stole a rueful glance at Saramuntu and crawled out from the bushes. Sara followed behind shyly, head down.

Flame: *After hearing the boo and cackle, he screams and runs up a tree* Don't eat me!!

Samhain: *EEP! *hides with Eggling*

Draco: *Notices the 3 Zolnixis, he jumped from the boo and cackle* ..... So these are the Zolnixis, hello and nice to meet you Vale.

Exponentia flys up, grabs Flame's scruff, and tugs him down. She looks at all of them and sits neatly, tail tucked around her legs.

["Piperlake,Mossflight2,Zenlexon"]

Flame: *Panics after he is grabbed by the scruff and pulled down, because he is scared he is going to die, he faints*

Samhain: I...Is it safe? *Shivering still holding Eggling*

Draco: don't mind those two, they get scared easily because they are lower on the food chain....

Samhain: *Hops out* he..Hello Zolnixis and V..Vale

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Vale purred smoothly, completely ignoring Exponentia. He padded over to the unconscious Flame, folding his wings, and poked the Ferrikki in the face with his ghostly tail - the best substitute he had for cold water seeing as his wispy parts were a good 20 degrees colder than the surroundings.

["Piperlake,Mossflight2,Zenlexon"]

Flame: *Slowly wakes up after feeling something cold* W...What happened?

Draco: nothing much, you fainted and Vale helped you

Samhain: so Are you Zolnixis safe?.. *Feels eggling start to hatch, gasps in excitement* Eggy is hatching~!
