"True, if anyone was the same thing, say a warrior, who would keep the peace? If everyone was just a baker, who would be the farmer?" Hazel smiled. "That makes sense, no matter how much I wish we could all be on the same page."

Matamba mews again, staying in her position, paws batting the air playfully.

Sparky follows, intent on keeping up. Once, he nearly lost his balance, but he quickly regained it, crouching slightly before taking off after her.

Diana leaps from tree to tree until she gets to the willow tree then she finally gets back to the ground.

Flash moves slightly and picks up the pace.
"Easy Flash calm down," Luka rubs Flash's muzzle.


"True," Lyla agrees.

Sparky lands beside her, grinning, and laughing slightly. "That was fun. I wish Brandon would do that with me. Or Hazel. Or anyone else that I really know." (And then... it ends up that they used to know each other because they had been on an adventure or something together when both were younger! Jk. idk.)

Brandon falls out of the saddle...

Hazel smiles, grinning wide. "Thank you. At least we're - partially - on the same page. I mean, you understand what I say half the time, and me, you."

Luka catches Brandon before he fully falls, "Maybe we should take a break?"
Flash bolts.


"I know how you feel," Diana agrees.


"That's good," Lyla smiles.

"Um, yea." Brandon says, finding his footing. "Uh, sorry." Matamba bounces up onto her feet, and race towards him, jumping around him like an excited puppy.

Sparky smiled. "At least I'm not alone..." His smile falters for a second, but then it's back, unwavering. "Thanks for... teaching me? Having fun with me? Playing?"

Hazel nods, growing quiet. Drummer flies around, finally perching on the roof of a nearby house.

"All three," Diana chuckles as she walks around the tree.


Lyla walks away, "Just focus on your bond.'


Luka gently puts Brandon down, "That wasn't so bad though right?"

Sparky smiles, looking down at his feet. "Okay. All three. That's new." he muttered the last sentence to herself.

Hazel nodded, following hesitantly after her.... "Do I follow you, or do I meet back up with Brandon and Sparky and Ashia and Justin? Oh, lots of names."

"Um... no?" He said, hugging Matamba when she nearly jumped straight onto him.

"Go explore but don't go beyond the waterfall," Lyla encourages.


"Sorry but you need to know how to ride," Luka apologizes.


Diana smiles, "Same here."

"Thanks! Come on, Drummer. Let's go find a place to call our own." She winked, but she did want to find a quiet place to call her own, a secluded place which her brother wouldn't think of going to.

Brandon sighed. "You sure? Why can't I just... I don't know..." He didn't know what else he would do.

Sparky laughs. "Yes! I knew I wasn't the only one."

"Okay I understand,'' Luka says.

Lyla walks back to her hut.

"Yep,'' Diana agrees.
