((Hola everyone!))
Spring 14, Monday, Year 1
The next morning, Sunset awoke, ready and prepared to go back to Ricky's farm. All of his wounds were miraculously cured due to the Healing Springs. Sunset's head was still whirrling quickly. Today, he felt incredibaly well, like a super hero. He felt he could do anything! He was ready for any challenge at Ricky's farm.
"Hey, Sunset. Good to see ya back. Listen, today I'm just gonna have you clean up the Horse poop, since you're going to have to do that a lot if you own a Ranch. Here's the shovel. Good luck!"
Anything, except that. Sunset then took the shovel, and started scooping up the horse dung and placing it where it belonged. Soon, he was finished with his job. He stood up, and gave a sigh of relief. Right beside him, a horse did the same thing.
"Oh, so you're copying me now, eh?" Sunset questioned playfully. The horse answered simply with a "Nay" that sounded excruciatingly much like a laugh.
"Hehe," Ricky began, entering the Stable, " I see that you've got to know William here, eh? He's the friendly fello. Very easy to get along with. Just expect him to play a couple of jokes on you though! Like that sigh, probably wasn't just a sigh of releif."
Sunset breathed in, and quickly quenched his nose, sullenly realizing what that sigh had truly been.
"Wanna ride?" Ricky asked randomly.
"What? Are you serious?! Of course! Thanks Ricky, you da man! C'mon William!" and th three trotted aloft outside to the exterior of the Farm, preparing to set off.
((Oh, and Drago, I'm waiting for you to post about Kevin finding his way in Kardia before Sunset comes, JIC you were wondering.
And Ashleigh, I just turned the kid down. I am so proud of myself! (Even though he says I'm stupid for rejecting $5000 and still insists I do it.) ))

((Skipping ahead. You guys can catch up later if you want. Tuesday, Spring 15th, Year 1. That's great Pedro. I knew you'd do the right thing in the end.))
The Road out of Bakersville
Ehlonna decided that she would take Gustafa's offer and visit him where he lived. He had told her that he lived in a different village called Forget-Me-Not Valley and that if she went to his yurt very early, she may catch him at home.
Ehlonna figured that if she left Bakersville at 4:00am then she should arrive in Forget-Me-Not Valley by 5:00am or 6:00am, depending on how quickly she travelled.
Forget-Me-Not Valley
Arriving in Forget-Me-Not Valley by about 6:00am, due to the fact that Ehlonna had taken her time to admire the scenery and nature along the way, she walked down the main road. There weren't too many people outside this early in the morning but the people who were out gave her awed stares and whispered to each other, so Ehlonna kept to the thickets of trees where no one could see her andwhere she felt safe.
As she ventured a little deeper into the forested area of the village, a small tent-like building with a very blinding, colourful pattern on it immediately drew Ehlonna's attention. Smiling, she knew that this was where Gustafa lived and headed straight over.
Gustafa's Yurt
"Ehlonna, hello!" Gustafa said enthusiastically, letting her inside. "I'm glad you came to see me today. I was going to go visit you again." he told her. With a small sweet laugh, Ehlonna sat down and looked around. The place was very... well... Gustafa. Ehlonna loved it.
"Well, you did tell me to come and see you." Ehlonna reminded him. Gustafa chuckled and nodded.
"That's true. I was just about to go out and admire the nature of the Valley. I'd love for you to come." he told her, holding out his hand for her to take. Nodding enthusiastically, Ehlonna accepted his hand and began her tour of Forget-Me-Not Valley.

Monday, Spring 14th
Kevin walked about and around, trying to retreive the feeling in all of his limbs before reaching the village. Suddenly, Kevin felt a jolt as the blood poured into the rest of his body, making small pricker feelings all over his body. "AHH!!!" Kevin said, having known this feeling from when he layed down on his feet for a while, he was in laughing pain.
As soon as the laughing pain went away, Kevin ran down into the village, and bumped into a tall man.
"Why Hello there, are you new in town?"
"Um...yeah, where am I?"
"Kardia Village! Im Godwin, the mayor, want me to show you around?"
"Kardia?! Um, yeah!" Kevin said, then following godwin around, not really listening to him. I can catch the fish! The legend is true!

((Ahh mmkk Lauren I'll be posting now.))
The River-Bed, Spring 14th
River's mind and soul still remained high above in the sky, looking down while being trapped in the some-what transparent and glass box. "Oh yes! Thank god, Lily! She's saved River, my body!" River's mind screamed shaking the box, it began to crack but just a very little.
Below he watched Lily pull River out of the water and onto the shore, if she hadn't have moved as fast she did, they would have both been swept down the river by the current. River's mind noticed Lily become very upset and horrified, seeing that the body she had pulled out was Rivers, all his mind could think is, "Lily thinks, River's dead, doesn't she... Ahh no this can be good!" The soul sighed but then became angered again, "Darn it! I need to get out of here, I need to leave!"
Right as the soul and mind has spoke those words, the crack in the glass seemed to repair itself, all he could manage to figure out now was that maybe there was a way of getting out and getting to the real life, but it wouldnt be by getting angry.

((Argh, I haven't posted in forever Spring 14th)) Alyson ate her delicious curry rice, which for some reason, she felt the urge to make. She took in each bite slowly, enjoying every moment.
Once she finished eating, she walked outside, taking in the fresh hair. She owned her own restaurant!! Something she had wanted for years, and finally got it. Suddenly, the erie pull came back, and this time, she couldn't ignore it. She walked slowly, following her instinct, and realized that the pull was coming to forget-me not valley. She decided to explore that pull tomorrow, and leave at 4:00 am.
((Alyson's adventure is nearing, by the way, can Ehlonna and Alyson meet after she visits Gustafa. He should be there too, since he will hopefully join us, right? The life liver, if you still wanna join the adventure, let me know, I'll stall))

((Wait.... Is Ehlonna coming to Kardia or not?))
Monday Spring 14, Year 1
Sunrise Farm
Sunset began saddling up; he seemed to know how rather well, although he had never rode a horse before. It was almost like it was instinct.
"You ready?" Ricky asked already n his horse, Butterbeer.
"You betch'a!" Sunset cheered as he whirrled his leg over William and stroked the hair on his head. Before Ricky could tell Sunset what to do, Sunset had grabbed the reins, and immediately galloped off. Seeing as how he had done it, he looked like a natural-born proffesional hose-back rider.
"Wow..... He's good." Ricky gaped in silence, and began to speed up to Sunset.
For the rest of the day, Sunset enjoyed a most thrilling ride, galloping around into the sunset, at the beach, and even over a hill. After a couple of hours, Ricky, Sunset, and their horses had returned back to the Farm.
"That was really good, Sunset! Well, anyways, you're done for today. By the way, I heard there's a new Mayor in your town, right?" Ricky asked Sunset.
"Yeah, her name's Evette. Why?" Sunset answered cautiously.
"Because now that you have a Mayor, it's the Mayor's job to give investments to those who need them to start a buisness. You can ask her!" Ricky informed. Sunset beamed.
"Really? Great! That's awesome! Thanks Ricky! I'll be sure to stop by now and then though, so don't forget me now, ya here?" Sunset laughed, and happily sped back to the Inn.
((Hey, is there an Inn in Bakersville yet? Ya know, I think we should really make a new thread that describes to everyone all the buisnesses, who runs them, what they do, where they are, and stuff like that. It would make things A LOT easier for others.))

((Thats a great idea The Life Liver, I will get right on that and yeah Joesph is the name of the guy who runs the inn he is a non main character so feel free to use him. Spring 14th.))
~The riverside~
Lily felt as if she wanted to kill herself commit suicide. River's heart rate lowered and lowered, slowing down each second of time.
"No! River..." Lily said feeling horribly awful, it was all her fault if she hadnt had asked about his mother then River never would have left and would have been safe.
The sky's brightness turned darker, big black clouds forming creating a huge storm to start any second.
Thunder raged striking down below, then came the rain. Falling in huge drops landing all over Lily and River, but she didnt care. Her friend was seriously in trouble of dying and she couldnt do anything but sit there, spending her final moments with him before he passed.
"WHY GOD? Why do I deserve this!??!?! WHY?" Lily screamed up at the sky continuing, "What did I do?!?! WHY? WHY? WHY? Why is it that you take everyone I care about away from me!!!??!!!" Lily words echoed throught the river carrying her yells outward....
She just sat there grabbing River's hand, "Why you? Why do you have to die? Please I'd rather die then you." Lily's eyes became teary, them falling from her face to River's body.....

((Very nice post Lauren, very nice. Spring 14th))
The Riverside
Several storm clouds moved through the skies, coming closer, closer, so close they rose high above the valley. First there was a crack of thunder then the rain started, harder then it had been before, pounding on top of River's unconiscious body and on Lily.
The sould and mind of River stared down, down at his slowly dieing body, in any moment he would be gone, it was so terrible that all he could do was watch everything that was happening. The soul reach out a final hand to see that he was transparent, almost gone from the world. But in second the glass box contianing him shattered, what had it been? Lily's tears? Was it really her, she had not only saved River from the water but brought his mind back into his body?
In seconds the close to gone mind flew down to the ground below, through the mouth of his body, filling it back with life. River was back, not only his body but with his mind and soul. In seconds Rivers eyes blinked a little, slowly opening then closing, he could feel Lily's tears of sorrow spilling on his face, also hearing her moaning cries, "Lily... is that you?" River called out into the very blurry and raining world, "Whats happening? Where have I been?"
River had no idea of what had just happened, it was almost like his mind and soul were so joyed to be back into his body that they had completly forgotten about Lily, about River's body being swiped down that stream. River blinked a few more times, the rain was coming down harder, almost like hail, it began hurting, thunder yelled through the skies while lighting cracked them. The storm that was happening around them had just begun, if Lily and River truly wanted to survive it they would need to leave now and find shelter.

((Thanks Travis, yours works perfect for me to post. Ok lets continue, Spring 14th.))
~The riverside~
"R-River?" Lily wipped her tears looked at River's face, he was awake, and most importantly ok. "Thank god your alive. I was so worried." She smiled helping River sit up.
"What happened?" River asked rubbing his head in pain and confusion.
"I'll explain on the way, but if you want to live I suggest getting up and following me up that mountain, it maybe our only way to survive." Lily said getting up along with River and dashing into the direction of the mountain trying to cover them selves as best as they could.
"River come on you slow poke!" Lily yelled ahead of River, running at full speed maybe to fast.
He caught up with Lily as they continued to run, River stayed more steady-er while Lily just ran and ran being out of breath.
One large rock ruined there whole chance at shelter, "Lily come on I see a cave!" River yelled as Lily speeded up tripping over the rock and crashing on her right ankel, putting her whole body weight onto it.
She heard a loud crack and began to scream in pain. "AH!!!! PAIN!!" Lily cried out as River turned around and ran to Lily sitting beside her.
"What happened?" He asked looking at the tears falling from her face.
"I-I think I broke my ankel..." She cried out, her ankel beginning to swell up.
Thunder raged as Lily screamed in pain.
Would River and Lily survive the horrible storm or ever see the valley again? How would they get to the cave?

((Ahh man, Lauren had to go... Well then tomorrow I guess this can be continued! Spring 14th!))
Rocky Mountian
The thunder clouds that had taken up the whole area of the sky were paleish green. The grassy, rocky mountian side looked dark with the clouds reflecking on them. Thunder and lighting continued to crack and scream through the skies as River and Lily ran on the grassy plains of the mountian.
"River hurry!" Lily screamed in pain while she kept her body lifeless to keep from having to feel the pain in her leg any further. "Oh god please keep it unbroken, oh please! PLEASE!" Lily thought, all she wanted was for her leg to not be broken.
River ran as fast as he could, through the pounding rain over to Lily and the rock she now laid on. As lighting cracked through the sky River managed to see the full extinct of the damage, her leg looked pretty banged up, but thankfully not bleading externally. "Lily, I think you may have just popped it out of place or sprained it at the least, we can deal with it later, for now, I'm going to have to lift your leg out from the rock to even get you unstuck." Hero announced ready to steadily pull.
Lily sighed taking short breathes, "Fine, just do it quit, cause I know it's going to hur-" Before she could finish River had grabbed a hold of her leg and in an instant had it out from logged into the rock, free to breath. But in that instant Lily screamed, she felt more pain in her leg, something had definitly happened to it, worse then just a simply pop or sprain, "River, it's broken... I know it is! This is so terrible, it hurts so bad!" Lily thought tears streaming her eyes.
River simply nodded a little while managing to pick her up into his arms. Her leg was able to stay high in the air away from movement, so to keep the pain at ease. River walked but also tried running towards the cave ahead, to get them out of the horrible storm. Lighting and thunder roared and kept on cracking through the skies, the storm was getting worse. The rain pounded down more harder then before, "River hurry! Get to the cave it hurts! Ahhhh!!!" Lily screamed in pain, each moment of her leg hurt worse.
River ran, and ran, like he did so many times before, he could see ahead of them that they were almost to the entrance, "Lily! Were almost there! just try and hold on! Try, try!" He screamed over the pounding rain. Thunder cracked again, striking down a nearby tree a few yards over, the tree soon fell, falling right over the entrance of the cave, almost hitting River and Lily as they went inside.
They had managed to escape being rammed down by the tree, River's began breathing heavidly but while laying Lily down on the cave floor, not only he but she too was freezing. He noticed from a few cracks of lighting that her leg was bleeding, a lot, "Lily... oh no.. this isn't good!" He explained.
Lily didn't seem to comprehend the sitution, she kept coming and going out of coniscious, "Huh? River... Whats going on... I'm so tired..." She explained blinking her eyes.
River took off his bandanna and wrapped it around her leg as carefully he could so that she wouldn't screamed again, "Lily! You need to stay awake! STAY AWAKE!" He screamed, shaking her, but Lily continued to go back to sleep, so much loss of blood began making her woosy and tired, was she going to make it.

Spring 14
Kevin walked around and followed Godwin.
"Over there is the bathhouse, over there is Mist's house, and she lives with a young fellow who farms the land near her house. Here we have the library, oh, and look, we are at the blacksmiths!" Godwin said, never seeming to stop talking.
"You sure are a talker!" Kevin joked as he and Godwin went down to the beach.
"Oh! Sorry about that, I'm a bit in a rush, I have some work to do back at the office."
"Oh, go right ahead and go work then, sorry to keep you here giving me a tour!"
"Its no problem! I always try and get out of the office, and I'm glad you came, i hate doing work!" Godwin said laughing. Kevin shortly joined in with the laughing until they reached the beach. Godwin waved good bye as he ran back to his office, and Kevin was left alone at the beach, right as the sun met the horizen down at the beach. The sky was a cool orange, slowly shading to purple as the night crept in, and the sun slowly desented below the ocean.
"Now i just have to wait for morning to come before I go fishing..."

((Ok Travis let's continue. Spring 14th.))
~Inside that cave~
River began to try and pull off some of the bark on the tree that had fallen to start as fire while Lily continued to go unconcious.
"R-River...." Lily called waking up yet again. River walked over to her placing the bark into the pit that was next to her.
"Lily? Lily, wake up!" Exclaimed River shaking one of her arms trying to wake her but not put her in anymore pain.
Lily awoke once again and continued, "T-thanks f-for h-hel...." She trailed off becoming unconcious yet again.
River just smiled, "No problem Lily. You saved me remember."He said now thinking how he would start a fire. He understood what she mean't. It would be impossible without a match or a liter.
"Man how am I going to lite it now?" River asked then hearing a couple of loud cough from Lily followed by more thunder.
"W-wait... I think I have a m-match.... I-I used it to-to l-lite the f-fire a few d-days ago." Lily coughed again looking in her pocket finding a match. "Luckily I saved it before I ju-jumped into the r-river..." Lily trailed off again holding up the match then going unconcious again.
River just took the match and a rock, scraping it against each other, soon enough the match was lite and River through it on the bark.
Finally something went right. The cave was now lite and they both could stay warm.

((Wow nice post Lauren, I don't really know what to do from here guess I'll try as hard as i can though. Spring 14th!))
Inside the Cave
River hugged his body against Lily's throughout the whole night. He not only wanted to feel warmth but he wanted to keep her warm as well. Something between him and her had changed that day, something inside him, deep in his heart, he began to care, care for her in other ways then before. River wanted to keep Lily safe, it was like she was his.
Throughout the whole night lighting and thunder cracked through the sky while the rain continued to pound down. The only source of light River and Lily had while laying on the hard ground of the cave floor was the small flicker from the fire River had made.
But finally, the morning of the next day, the storm finally calmed down and disappeared from the sky, but in it's place was many foggy clouds, blocking the area making things hard to see in the distance.
Inside the Cave (Spring 15th)
Once River had woken up he looked at Lily's calm but also very unconisciou body before he stared at anything else. "Oh my gosh, Lily!" River thought standing up next to the crumbled and blown out fire bed. "Lily wake up! Wake up now!" He screamed shaking her body.
But the more he shook her the less her eyes blinked and her body moved. Lily was out cold. River panickly brought her up into his arms, making sure his bandana that he had tired around her leg stayed on keeping the blood flow inside her body. He immediately left the cave managing to jump over the fallen tree blocking the exit while making sure everything they had was with them.
"Crap where is the right way back!?" River thought as he was met with the very cloudy, fogginess floating in front of him. "I can barely see!? Oh Lily, I'm so sorry if I've failed you." River screamed, sqinting his eyes to try and make out the few trees in front of him, "Keep her alive god! Keep her alive!" Where would he go? With River not being able to see barely anything in front of him how would he find his way back to Bakersville, and if he managed to do that would he make it there in time to keep Lily alive?

((Spring 15, I'm just having people meet, so it isn't wierd that they go on an adventure later.))
Alyson awoke, and immediately got dressed. She looked at her watch, and seeing that it was 3:45am, she quickly rushed out, changed the sign to closed, and went on her way. As she walked, she noticed how peaceful the town was. The wind was blowing slightly, so she could feel her cheeks warm up every time she felt a breeze. She walked briskly, knowing that in order to get to the spring before everyone else, she would need to get there in approximately forty minutes. She looked all around her, and was amazed by the beautiful flowers, trees, but most of all, the wonderful animals.
When Alyson got to Forget-me-not valley, she was glad that no one was awake still. She walked a little slower, and noticed a young female, probably about eighteen. She had beautiful long, blonde hair, and pale skin. Alyson walked confidently up to her, and noticing the woman turn around, held out her hand, "Hi, I'm Alyson, what's your name," she asked. She could only hope that the girl would respond, and not shy away.

((Finally, a reason to post! Thanks, Christina . Tuesday, Spring 15th, Year 1.))
Forget-Me-Not Valley
Ehlonna smiled and nodded, the eery glow around her flickering slightly in the pale dawn. The fact that the woman who introduced herself as Alyson held her hand out puzzled Ehlonna. She had spent a vast majority of her life in solitude and was unfamiliar with normal human gestures. However, she smiled and nodded all the same, hoping that Alyson would not be offended at her lack of knowledge in the area of socialism.
"Nice to meet you, Alyson." Gustafa piped in, taking Alyson's hand and shaking it. Ehlonna made a mental note to herslf to remember that for next time. "I'm Gustafa and this is Ehlonna. I'm a travelling musician and Ehlonna is the Forest Guardian of Bakersville." Ehlonna gave him a sweet and affectionate smile at the way he made her seem so important and integral to Bakersville.
"Yes, it's a pleasure." Ehlonna said in a mystical, melodious voice only slightly enhanced by a faint Celtic lilt.
