Sandy looked up. Finally is was done. She felt as if she had been sitting down forever, and her legs were starting to fall asleep. "What does it say? Please say it's not a riddle." She hated riddles. It wasn't that she wasn't bad at them. They just weren't her forte. 'Please not a riddle. Please let it be straight forward so we can get a move on with this adventure.' Sandy thought as she looked up at Star's grandmother hoping for some good advice so the could leave and start their adventure. She wasn't being very patient and she knew it, but it was exciting and a change in routine for once.
((Sorry I've been off for a while. I had a summer class.))

"Oh...haha, little girl you see, it's a sort of riddle..." The granny grinned to the other girl. She passed the page she had worked on to Star. "And here are your translations." She said, smiling and handing it to the brown-haired girl. "Now shoo! Star doesn't wait for people - she's already out the door!" She said, and pointed to a ball of pink hair bouncing away.

"Hurry up, Sandy!" She called out, skipping along the path. Her smile was wide and Mango followed her, her eyes trailing Sandy whom was about to leave the house.

'A sort of riddle, great.' "Coming! Oh, and Thank you." She turned and left the house. Jogging to catch up with Star, Peach fell into step with her. "Where are the... oh, there they are." She waved to Cranberry, who she spotted before seeing the others. She then looked around and spotted Amber talking to some other girl. 'Wonder if she'll be coming with us.' "Star's grand mother is done with the translation now."

Makenna nodded. She looked down at Juno before eyeing everyone else. The crowd seemed to be growing. Suddenly she wasn't sure of going anymore; the green elf was weary with so many others around.

(Does anyone know when we are leaving...?)

@Starfall2466,

(Yay! Glad your back. I have to say you came back a lot faster then I thought. I am glad you did though . )

Amber noticed the green elf looking uncertain. She moved closer to her. 'Hey don't worry, I usualy never travel with others either so I'm a bit weary myself but they seem like a merry bunch. You should give it a try, and if you don't like it you can always go back later on. I'll even escort you back.'

Amber said smiling at the elf.

(Note: I as well as My character in this, are very bad with names. So I typ in the way Amber thinks. I can read all your names but she can't. Once she has been traveling with you all for a bit she will start thinking in names instead of collours and species. )

(Haha thanks for the note. :3 )

Makenna smiled gently. "I just...I..." Juno sensed her unwariness, and when Amber touched her shoulder he growled a little. The elf knew that he wasn't any harm though, he tended to be overprotective.

When Juno groweld, Nameless groweld and Juno. Black still just looked amused by it all. It was obvious his master and friend would not harm the elf. Juno would not attack. He always liked sylesties that love their owners though. There was no stronger bond than that.

(Hey everyone, I am into this summer festival and all my time seems to be absorbed by it lol. So is it ok if we go on with the rp after the festival? If not that is ok 2, I'll still post, just shorter and less often XP. )

(@AmberAnime, I don't think that it should be too much of a hassle to continue on with the RP, considering the fact that things have been running a little slow lately. Maybe it's just me who thinks that, though.)

Cranberry took the map and looked to the translation scrawled in old lady handwriting. It clarified the few words she didn't know, but otherwise it had not helped much; it was still as thick a mystery as it had been before. Perhaps it would be made clear once they reached their destination. Or maybe it was something they'd solve, thinking over it as they made camp at night. For now it didn't matter much, she supposed; she was suddenly anxious to get on the way. Solsice and Equinox seemed equallt anxious, the only one who didn't seem particularly eager was Luau, who was sitting with his ears pinned back, hunched over, tail flicking and every ounce of his body language radiating that he was sulking in embarassment from his wild ride. Cranberry sighed; there was no dealing with the Vulnyx when he got like that. But her family had always been feline oriented; it was just tradition at this point. She glanced to the other sylesties slightly envious.

Over in the town square, the clock struck noon and broke her thoughts.
"Well. I propose that we gather food and supplies, and leave in an hour. It will take us a couple hours to reach Fungus Grove, where I'll pick up a bunch of healing potions of all kinds from my family, and maybe we can get a good dinner there before we head out into Umbra Forest and start through it towards the mountains? What do you all say to that?"

She looked around at the group who'd come out of Star's family home, and to the group who'd been outside with her, waiting for the answer.

The green elf sighed as she looked down at her Juno, who at the moment was snickering at his 'trusty steed'. Finally, she spoke. "As soon as we take our leave, the better. We only have so long until night rises, and that shall not be the time we go. It is much more dangerous once the sun goes down."
