((Oh ok. Spring 11th.))
~Lily's Art Studio~
"River dont get so close! Personal space." Lily shouted as River rubbed the back of his neck moving a couple of paces backwords.
"Oh sorry..." River smiled as Lily continued to draw. River watched as Lily's hand glided across the paper, it was so beautiful to watch as real artist at work.
"Ok finished." Lily said showing River the drawing of a river with the wild surrounding.
"Wow, it's beautiful." River stated as Lily blushed.
"Really?" Lily's eyes lit up, "I made it for you, maybe you can hang it up in your room. Afterall the picture does suit you quite well." She smiled handing it River.
"Thanks Lily, this is amazing work. I wish I had a talent like this." River sighed as Lily got up from her seat.
"You have a talent, it is just not drawing. My mother use to tell me that everyone has something they are good at you just have to find it. She use to before....." Lily trailed off as River looked at her.
"Before what?" River asked. "Oh nevermind." Lily said blinking to get out the tears of her departed mother.
"Come on let's go to my house. We should eat something its getting late." Lily stated exiting the studio along with River, they both went to Lily's house.
~Lily's house~
River and Lily entered her house and as River sat at the dining table Lily began to prepare dinner.
"This is a nice house Lily." River said looking at some more paintings and drawings hung up on the walls.
"Thanks. I built it myself with some help from Gotz." Lily smiled continuing to prepare dinner.
"Wow you can build? You can do alot of things." River said surprised.
"River, dinner's ready now." Lily stated placing the bowls and plates of food on the table, both of them sat down and began to eat.
"What are you staring at?" Lily asked as River looked at her.
"Oh nothing, its just that is an interesting necklace you have. Where did you get it?" River asked.
"I guess my mother gave it to me. I have no idea what the moon stands for. My mother probably knows." Lily sighed.
"Ok great we can go see her tomorrow, where does she live?" River asked smiling.
"No River we can't go see her. You don't understand, my mother she- she is dead..." Lily sighed taking a bite of salad.
"Oh I am really sorry I misunderstood." RIver said feeling foolish, but River knew what it was like to lose a loved one.

The Woods
Friday, Spring 11th, Year 1
Sunset just shrugged.
"Hey, I'll be right back, OK? I just have to go tell Ricky that I won't be able to go to work for the next few days cuz of our little "adventure". Tell Ehlonna when I get back. See ya." Sunset told Gustafa, and then ran off into the forest, opposite direction in which they had been walking, this time knowing he would find his way back out. (But would he make it back in?)
It was getting dark out, and he had missed today's sunset while he was in the forest. This seemed like more of a challenge then Sunset had thought. What if there was nothing up there? What if someone got hurt or...or..... This was very dangerous indeed, and he could not believe how willing Gustafa and Ehlonna were to come along. He just hoped that everything would turn out OK.....
He was already in the Forgotten Valley. He had just arrived at Sunshine Farm when he saw Nami.
"Hey, slick. Where you off too in such a hurry?" She stopped him.
"I have to tell Ricky I can't make it to work. I have erm... uh, something to do." He answered.
"Really? What would that be? All I've known you to do is watch the sunset..." Nami began.
"Hey! That is NOT funny, ya know!" Sunset sprung angrily, pointing his finger at Nami. "If you reall must know, I'm going to go climb this huge mountain over in Bakersville!" At this Nami just laughed.
"Without any climbing gear?" She laughed, scruffed up Sunset's hair and walked away. Sunset turned a bright shade of red. How foolish couyld he be? Of course they would need climbing gear! And food. After he tells Ricky he can't come to work, he would have to run home to get supplies. And this he did.
Half an hour later, Sunset was back in the forest, lost again (As usual) calling Ehlonna's name, hoping she would come and find him.
(((Do you think Nami could tag along, or is that just too many people?))

((Well, seeing as how Ehlonna's love interest is going, it's only fair to have Sunset's come too. Friday, Spring 11th, Year 1.))
The Woods
Ehlonna heard Sunset's voice calling out to her. Shaking her head with an amused chuckle she glided towards his voice. Finding him in a thicket of brambles, she helped him out and laughed delicately. "Perhaps you should not stray off on your own anymore." she said lightly.
"Hey it's almost completely dark. Ehlonna's set up a tent-like thing with vines and branches. It looks like it will fit all three of us." Gustafa said, walking over to them. Just then, more rustling could be heard coming from the dark thikets and a red-headed woman appeared with a smirk on her face. "Or four." Gustafa laughed. "Hey Nami." he said with a nod.
"You honestly didn't think I was about to let you guys go on an adventure without me, did you? I'm a world travellor. Adventures are my specialty." she grinned, slinging a small bag over her shoulder. When she saw Ehlonna, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Leaning to Gustafa, she muttered through gritted teeth. "Uh... who is she and why is she glowing?" she asked in an undertone. Gustafa shrugged.
"Her name's Ehlonna and nobody knows." Gustafa answered in a whisper. Ehlonna was too busy leading them back to their small campsite to notice.

(Lol, an adventure filled with love? sounds kinda like a Final Fantasy game.)
Spring 11th
Kevin walked around the valley, then remembered that he wanted to go the the towns library, to see if they had any books on fishing. Kevin ran from ontop of the hill, down into the valley, into the mountains, found the path to the town, then ran into the library as soon as he found it.
"HUSH!" Mary exclaimed as she picked up all the papers that flew off her desk as Kevin ran up the stairs.
Kevin searched for a while before he found a book titled Legendary Fish: Where to find, and how to catch.
Kevin began reading.(to find the reading that kevin reads, read the roleplay discussion.)

Friday, Spring 11th Year 1 Austin was bored again, but he couldn't keep Julia out of his mind. "I hope she comes back soon, maybe I'll make her some cookies or something." Austin thought. "Then again, I have no idea what she likes. I'd better find out next time." Austin said to himself. He had to find something to occupy his time. He decided to go to the forest to find some herbs to make medicines with. Despite him not knowing much about the local herbs. Once he thought about it, it wasn't such a great idea. He needed someone to help him with what each herbs do. He needed a local wildlife expert.

((Yeah, just one problem; Nami and Gustafa are natural love interests. On the game, as soon as they started hanging out, they started to like eachother. Oh, and megaman10, don't forget the date.))
The Woods
Late Friday Spring 11th, Year 1
Sunset, Ehlonna, Gustafa, and Nami all walked back to Ehlonna's tent-like shelter in which they would be sleeping.
"Hey, guys. I brought us some sleeping bags so we wouldn't have to sleep on the floor. Here- one- two-three........Oh, Nami! I'm so sorry I just didn't know you were gonna come I just-" Sunset was cut off.
"Save it, day-dreamer. I brought my own." Nami stopped him, pulling out her own bag and lying it in the tent. Sunset, mouth still hanging open, lay his tent down as well, and lie down inside as well. Suddenly, they all heard a roaring noise coming from somewhere near the tent.
"Was that a bear? Shall we play it a song?" Gustafa asked warily.
"Don't bother." Nami breathed tiredly. "It was just Sunset's empty stomach." and she rolled to her side and closed her eyes. Sunset was turning red again, but it was too dark to tel.
"Ehe.....Sorry, guys. I guess I's better have a quick snack." Sunset informed them, and pulled out a chocolate bar and gobbled it up. Right after the bar was devoured, he plopped down, and slumbered off into sleep.....
Saturday Spring 12, Year 1
Sunset awoke early the next morning, as he had always done so he could watch the sunset. He looked over the other sleeping bags which were all still full--all except Nami's. Sunset rose to his feet, and looked in all directions for Nami, but she wasn't anywhere to be seen. And then he saw a red headed woman someway behind a few trees. He followed in her direction. When he got there, he foud Nami staring by a lake, the sunet's beautful gaze glistening down from above them, making a beautiful scene. Almost as if Nami had eyes on the back of her head, she spoke to Sunset as he approached.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" she sighed. "This is what you must look at every day, right? It makes you wonder, doesn't it?"
"All the time." Sunset was now walking to where Nami was standing. "But you just have to admire these things.... before there's nothing left to admire."
"My thoughts exactly. Such beautiful things shouldn't be wasted." She cleared her throat. "The mountains that way, across the lake. We'll have to find away to the other side."
"Maybe we can make a raft? We'll need wood though." Sunset suggested.
"Then let's go get it. Don't worry bout me. I ain't gonna break a nail." She said nonchalantly, and brushed past Sunset, heading to get some lumber.
"There's just something about that girl...... Hey, wait up!" Sunset called, and chased after her, poking her in the ribs, maaking her jump laughing, and soon they were poking eachother, having a good ol' time.

((Saturday, Spring 12th, Year 1.))
The Woods
Ehlonna was awaken by the sound of soft guitar strumming to the Celtic song Ehlonna loved so dearly. Her eyelids flickering open, revealing her calm blue eyes she sat up to see Gustafa sitting on a nearby rock, seeming to play to the sunrise. Smiling, she glided over to him and sat down beside him, her white gown seeming to become a part of the nature around her as her misty glow grew bright.
"No one's in doubt that the children singing all too soon shall be women and men... And the canny new land that she shaped with our hand... It'll roll to the ocean again..." Ehlonna sang melodiously, her ever haunting voice lulling even Gustafa himself. When he finished, he turned to her and smiled.
"You have such a lovely voice... it seems almost magical but I know you're probably tired of hearing about all of that." he added, his speaking voice naturally calming. Ehlonna nodded.
"Yes." she replied. "I want others to be attracted to me for who I am, not for how I look." she admitted softly. Gustafa chuckled and patted her hand in a friendly comforting way.
"I wouldn't worry about that, Ehlonna. Others will see you on the inside the more you are with them, regardless of anything else that may captivate people." Gustafa told her wisely. Ehlonna let out a radiant smile. Somebody understood at last.
"Oy! If you two are done your little musical, we've got a mountain to climb!" Nami's strong voice bellowed from a little ways off.

((Woah, the forum awards, were great, awesome job Ashleigh, and I was rather surprised I one some, but I'm so happy I won best role-player!!!))
Lily's House (Spring 11th)
River and Lily both sat in silence, conversing on just would be too akward, because of what Lily had previously told River about her deceased mother. But silence wasn't a good thing, silence brought up horrible things for River, things he never wanted to think about, things that he wanted to keep barried inside himself. As River was trying to find a way to break the silence Lily broke it for him, but River wished she hadn't.
"So River, where do your parent's live? I realized I don't no anything about you or your family..." Lily asked wondering, she also continued to eat.
Just as River was so hoping for the silence to be broken, after what Lily had asked he definitly wished it wasn't. Her words felt to River as if swords were being pludged into his body. River couldn't think of a response to that, immedietately without his control he went speechless and a little shaky.
Lily soon noticed the sudden change in the vibe of the room, "Oh... I'm sorry River, is this a sore subject?" She asked once more, hoping she hadn't done something she shouldn't have.
River seemed to nod a bit but her words seemed to be so strong, memories flooded his head. Flashes of the the broken vine bottles, the massive amount of liquid everywhere, the fire, and worst of all his dead mother! River immedietately jumped from the table, trying to bring his mind away from these horrible memories and thoughts, so he suddenly just started to run, River ran right through the door and out of Lily's house!
From there he continued down the street to the sudden darkness that the evening skies were giving off, leaving Lily behind in her house not only confused but a little guilty.

Spring 11th.
~Lily's house~
Lily sat there in the dark feeling upset, "Why am I always scaring everyone I meet away!?!?!" She asked above her hoping god would hear her.
Lily slammed her hand against the table in anger still trying to eat through her tears of sorrow and anger.
She cleaned up from dinner then got into her PJ's closing all of the blinding making her house complete and total darkness. The only light that could be seen from the house was the small desk light that allowed enough light for Lily to draw.
She drew and drew trying to hold back her anger but most of it was drawn onto the piece of paper. She drew and drew until the whole page was covered in pencil. It was a women who was all by herself and while everyone talk she sat there alone.

The Road (Spring 11th)
The skies all around River became as dark as dusk, the sun no longer shined as bright as it had been previously that day. Nightfall was soon to come, any minute now, River would be running in complete darkness.
But darkness didn't matter to him, he had been through much worse that year, so much worse... Darkness was the least thing on his mind at that moment, actaully he was really just trying to concentrate on his running, so to hopefully block out the horrible memories he was having.
River circled around a row of trees that began to split his path into two, he could ether choose to run along the riverbed or into the dark woods. River didn't even think about his next move but he completly forgot about making a desicion and he ended up running right into the river itself. Actaully it was more of a jump then leap into the water, without realizing it though, right as River had hit the waters cold depths, his mind definitly changed, the memories were gone and now he was simply thinking of nothing, the only thing that River was doing was freezing.

((Thanks Travis! Congrats to everyone who won something . Saturday, Spring 12th, Year 1.))
The Woods
Ehlonna raised one golden eyebrow and looked inquiringly at Gustafa. "Is she always so direct?" Ehlonna asked, standing up to follow Nami and Sunset to the base of the mountain. She could hear Gustafa chuckle behind her.
"Always." he answered simply, beginning to strum out a new song on his guitar.
The Base of the Mountain
As they all neared the mountain, it soon became clear that this was not going to be an easy trip. In fact, they may need to set up camp again half-way up the mountain. Nami immediately shouldered her bag and began to climb, but Ehlonna put a hand on her shoulder.
"Perhaps I should lead? I seem to have a way with this forest." Ehlonna told her melodiously. Nami shrugged and jumped down from the ledge she was on.
"If you want." she said indifferently, assuming second place. Sunset was right behind her and Gustafa trailed along at the back randomly humming along to his music whenever an inspiration struck him.

Spring 11th.
~Lily's house~
Lily sat at her desk alone and thought about her life and everyone she knew, not to long later Lily had fallen asleep.
((Spring 12th.))
~Lily's house~
Lily awoke to the sound of birds chirping and somewhat of light shining through the blinds.
"Wow I fell asleep?!?!" Lily yawned getting up and looking around her home, the dishes from last night's somewhat of a dinner. Her drawings from last night were on her desk all placed covering the oak desk.
"Maybe I should leave River alone for a couple of days." Lily sighed getting dressed then making coffee before heading to the inn to ask Joesph if he needed any help.
~The Inn~
"Hello Joesph." Lily smiled entering the inn.
"Hey Lily, sorry to say but River is not here. He never returned last night so I know of." Joesph said as he continued to type on his laptop.
"Oh its fine. I am not here to see him, I just wanted to know if you needed any help with cooking or anything." Lily said looking at Joesph.
"Oh ok sure, I could use some help. Thanks." Joesph agreed thanking Lily then showing her the kitchen.

Saturday, Spring 12, Year 1
The Lake
Sunset and Nami had created a raft together while the other two love birds sang to eachother in harmony.
"It sorta makes you sick, doesn't it?" Nami asked Sunset, who simply shrugged. "Oy! Are you two coming or what?"
The other two came along onto the raft, and Sunset began paddling with his hands.
"Ya know," Nami began tentively, "This would've been easier if you used some oars!" Suddenly, as she finished her scolding, they heard a slight hissss and a snap, and Sunset suddenly yanked his hand back to him.
"OUCH!!!!"
"Are you okay?" Gustafa asked worriedly.
"Y-Yeah.... I'm fine. It's nothing. Just.... don't worry about me." Sunset said shakily, as Nami yanked two strong branches from a tree and began paddling, (After she whacked the snake that had bitten Sunset.).
The Mountain
Soon they were at the base of the mountain, and began climbing upward.
"L-Lucky I brought c-climbing gear, eh?" Sunset stammered. Normally, climbing was something he was very good at, but for some reason, he wasn't feeling very well. He was very pale.
"Oy!" Nami called, banging on the cliff. "There's something hollow here...... A cave!"
"And look over there!" Gustafa pointed. "There's a ledge."
"And maybe theres an opening."
Sunset reached into his bag and found a grappling hook, took hold of it, launched on end over to the cliff, where it became sturdy on a rock, and he tied the other end to a large rock on the mountain. He then pulled out a pulley from his bag, put it on the rope, and began to slide down to the cliff. Right about the time he was about to land, he slipped and he fell, hearing muffled yells of "Sunset!" behind him. Was he going to die? Was it over? Suddenly, he felt a strong yank catapult him onto the mountain's ledge.
"That snake bite's affecting you. You need help." Came Nami's voice. Sunset warily opened his eyes and struggled to get up, keeping his bitten arm below his chest at all times.
"N-No. I-I'm fine. M-Must go on!" Sunset rooted on, watching as Ehlonna and Gustafa came cliding down to them also.
"Well, if you insist on dying, okay then." Nami shrugged nonchalantly. She began feeling against the mountain's wall. "Right here." She said merely, and yanked her fist back, and prodded it foward with great power making a large hole in the wall. She then tore away the rest of it to reveal a cave entrance.
"After you." she said, indicating with ooth hands into the cave. She probably just wanted Ehlonna to go first so that her glow would light up the whole place. But before anyone could enter, they heard Sunset's muffled voice behind them.
"V-V-Vultures!" He shouted, indicating two large vultures approaching with his nonbitten hand. It was Ehlonna's and Gustafa's turn now...

((Yay! I love adventures! Saturday, Spring 12th, Year 1.))
The Cave
As Ehlonna walked inside, her glow lighting up the dark cave as Nami had anticipated, it became clear that a group of people had once lived here, though not for centuries. The center of the cave held a small firepit that had long since crumbled to blackened debris, and the sides of the cave were littered with old broken weaponry, most of them ranged weapons like spears and arrows made from wood, stone or bone.
"Hey, look at this." Nami said in awe, running a hand over the cave walls. "There are symbols scratched into the walls, but I have no idea what they mean... in all my travels, I've never seen anything like this." she murmered, shaking her head. "Gustafa, come over here and see if you can make anything of this." Gustafa shrugged and strode over, squinting at the markings on the wall. After a few minutes of scrutinizing, he too shook his head.
"I've never seen these symbols before either. It's almost like it's some long forgotten language..." he mused thoughtfully. Sunset too took a crack at deciphering the symbols, but he didn't have anything more to say about them than Nami or Gustafa did. Ehlonna glided delicately over and her eyes widened at the sight of the markings. She understood what they meant, but she had no idea how she knew.
"Wait..." she breathed, running her pale slender fingers over the wall markings. "I recognize this language." she whispered.
"Well are you just going to stand there staring at it all day, or are you going to tell us what it says?" Nami said, rolling her eyes in exasperation. Ehlonna sighed before revealing the ancient symbols.
"It's been eroded, there are parts missing, but the pieces that I can understand say 'mountain summit' .... 'spring thirteenth of the fifth year repeating' ... 'harvest crystal at the rising of the sun' ..." she finished, her deep blue eyes narrowed in contemplation. "That is all I can read." she told the others. Nami crossed her arms and thought for a moment.
"Well... Spring thirteenth of the fifth year repeating sounds like every five years on Spring thirteenth..." Nami pieced together.
"Yes, and something must happen at the mountain summit on spring thirteenth every five years." Gustafa added.
"Hmmm... it must happen when the sun rises, and this harvest crystal must have something to do with it." Ehlonna finished regally as the others nodded.
"Yeah, but what happens?" Nami asked. Everyone shook their heads. That was something that the ancient language didn't reveal to them. "How do you know how to read those symbols anyway, Ehlonna?" Nami asked her. Ehlonna shook her head slowly.
"I... don't know." she admitted in a whisper.
"Well, shall we continue? That is if Sunset's feeling up to the climb. It's starting to get dark again anyway so maybe we should set up camp in this cave tonight and continue tomorrow?" Gustafa asked.
