The environment had long since recovered from it's intimidating and dark state, returning to the pleasant island air they had been warmly greeted with. It was almost unsettling, though, to think there was a part of the island spitting with darkness and the rest of it went on in such blissful unawareness. The two were still not entirely clear on where they were going, but tried their best to make way to a populated section of the island, friendlier than that particular place was.

Harland eventually trotted out in front of Raul and the kouprey stopped purposefully and stared at his companion. "There's something going on with this island. Something bad." Harland's ears sharply flicked as he spoke. "I want to see if there are answers. Who is the python? Why is his territory so dangerous? What did he do to Sayan?" Now his tail too darted anxiously back and forth. "There's a secret tale living in these trees, words spoken by that which we cannot see. I want to know the story."

Raul yawned loudly. "If it's not our business, it's not our business. Don't cause trouble, Harland."

"I won't! I just want answers," Harland began. He turned stiff as Raul began moving again, walking obviously around the wild ass. "You don't have to search for answers with me, but you should at least be concerned for possible danger."

"I can't leave you here Rose! This is the python's territory!" Sybil said nervously, not willing to put her own successor at risk.
"Please Rose. You go get Crystal. You can get to her much faster. I'll stay with Sayan and try to reason with him." Sybil urged, glaring at Rose to rush her and to show her that she wasn't going anywhere. It had to be her. She could run faster. Plus, the python already knew Sybil, so perhaps he was going to have more patience with her...

"Sybil, don't argue with me! I saw Sayan in there when I kissed him! I know he is still there I have to stay!" Rose said defiantly. She was very clear and stern when she said that telling Sybil she wasn't going anywhere.

When Sybil realized Rose had more possibilities of getting through to Sayan, she knew then it had to be her the one who must search for Crystal.
"Alright Rose. I'll be back soon. Try to get through to Sayan, but please, move him away from here! The python has been very patient to us before, but I don't want to push our luck." Sybil warned, as she left that forsaken place to search for the caracal. What the heck was wrong with Sayan? Didn't the blessing worked on him? The caracal had a lot of explanation to do, but Sybil didn't know where she was right now. She headed quickly to Sayan's place, hoping she has taken residence there...

Sybil managed to successfully leave the swamp, covered in mud from torso down. She fell a few times while rushing there, and was more than relieved to see the caracal.
"Crystal! Thank goodness you're still here! You better come to the swamp... right now! Something is happening to Sayan! His eyes got weird, and he looked like he could be in a trance!" Sybil explained quickly, terrified out of her mind. She had to know what was happenings to Sayan. If he was being possessed, then Crystal's blessing didn't work, and that would mean an awful lot of trouble awaited her and her friends...

Sybil was desperate. While waiting for the Raven, she had to ask what was going on.
"Do you have any idea what is happening to Sayan? It almost looked supernatural!" Sybil said, almost acussing Crystal of either doing a lousy job at him. While the awakening of their guards in their dreams was a success, perhaps the protection wasn't?

Raul continued on his path and was moving slowly and purposefully when suddenly Harland blazed past him in a mad dash, his hooves kicking up dirt and grass as he raced ahead. Raul exhaled, shook his head, then continued at his own speed.

I want to know what that was. Harland's heart pumped as he ran. I want to know this island's secrets. He would not go back into danger, but that wouldn't stop him from asking around.

"Quite observant one aren't you?" Flare said. "You already figured out I was once an animal in my past without me telling you." She smiled and flew on top of Crocux head and gave him a pat on the head. "I was once a cheetah, the fastest cat on earth."

Crocux nods "ah I see. I think I saw your kind before. do you enjoy being a phoenix or should I try to get you a form you would prefer over that one?"

"I actually enjoy the new power and form." Flare said.

Crocux sighs "that's good to hear."

"I don't know for sure but I think i may be able to snap him back into reality." Crystal said as Diamond returned with the supplies.

"Now come on! He and Rose are in the python's territory! He may not demonstrate too much patience." Sybil urged, as she went ahead to compensate her short paws. Despite the python still not appearing and not having hurt her or Rose in their encounter, she was still very much afraid of the snake, especially after learning he was in cahoots with Shadow.

Crocux thought about it then said "surprise me"

He did as he was told. "1, 2, 3, 4,"

Crystal followed Sybil.

Sybil ran as fast as she could. No sign of the python by now worried her, though she hoped it was because he followed her advice and was now hunting pigeons in the wetland. For now, the concern was Sayan. It looked like she had to postpone her vacation now, not to mention her visit to Cairo if things got too serious.

He opened his eyes ready for some fun.

Crocux smiled and used his nose to sniff her out. once he got the scent he fallowed it.

Crocux smirked as he closed in "may be but you forget this is my mind. and in my mind I'm the most powerful thing there is."

OOC: It's practically New Year my friends. Thank you all for your loyalty and memories. I look forward for another amazing year

Sybil arrived to where Sayan was, terrified on what she was going to find. Her paws were muddy and it obstructed her movements pretty badly, but that hasn't stopped her before. Se was even tempted to all Trico and see if he really was there as he said last night. She was going to need a lot of moral support for the possible war to come...

Cro narrows down her location "a spirit in my head is one I can find"

Crocux smiled knowing their would be a pattern and closed in knowing that when the scent would vanish he would be practically on top of her.

Crocux chuckled "true but you wouldn't pull a trick like that if I wasn't getting close."

Crystal came shortly behind Sybil. She came up to Sayan observing his symptoms.

"I am here with you Sybil." Trico said in her mind.

"So you did came even without being called. Sybil said with relief in her mind, as she saw Crystal attending Sayan. Whatever was happening to him wasn't natural, and it was urgent for something to be done. She didn't want anyone at the Haven to know what was going on right now.

"Something is happening to Sayan and I don't know why. Looks like the caracal's blessing didn't work on him. Sybil concluded, believing that was the answer. It has worked on both her and Rose, so why not with Sayan? She still had to check on Crocux, who could be the most dangerous resident should he ever be possessed...

AJ: As everyone else is dealing with other things, I head off secretly back to the Outback, where Odette and her male friend, live. I am living a double life until my two families become one. Still I am a little worried what some members of my first family, those that live at Haven will think abut my actions.

Sunflame after resting peacefully for a while he wakes up and after stretching he starts to draw in the dirt. Images that few may know, that even he is not sure, or is he? A number however seems to be the most important, as it is larger than the rest.

"Something else? Please don't say that. What could be worse?" Sybil commented to him, not imagining what could be worse than Shadow...

As Sayan was inspected, Sybil continued to look around. The python hasn't appeared for now, but she couldn't help think the worst. Maybe the python was hunting someplace, but maybe it was planning something else?
"I don't like this Trico. We have been here for far too long. Shadow may be our problem in our dreams, but here, it is a large python." Sybil explained, not knowing much about pythons, but she believed through her friends Skaliscin and Voracivenom that they were solitary, territorial creatures, and if the python realized how much they have lingered there, he may not like it...

That wasn't enough to calm Sybil down. She was getting increasingly desperate.
"Well that isn't enough! Guys, do you know where we are?this is the phyton's territory! Rose, original plan! We need to get Sayan out of here!" Sybil yelled in frustration, not standing being in tht creepy place fr a second more. It was still dark, and that forbidden part of the forest was getting more gloomy by the minute.

"Well it's not easy to calm down with everything that is going on out here!" Sybil responded with frustration, still thinking that, if it wasn't Shadow causing Sayan's odd behavior, then what the heck was it? That question was driving the civet crazy.

in his dream Crocux was about to find Flare when he said "ask Sybil that. the only time I ever saw him was when he was executed."

"Just stay calm Sybil. Sayan is fighting this Rose is helping." Trico said.

"Well it doesn't matter now. Rose is trying to get through to him, and then what's left? We have been in the python's territory for too long. He is going to think he has the right to invade our home if we are invading his." Sybil commented, that being her biggest worry. Once Sayan returns, he's going to have a lot of explaining to do.

Crocux says "who said I was being cocky? I don't know Shadow that well but I know that dead or alive he's trouble." then he saw her and said "also found you."

Crocux smiled "awe shucks, your to kind."
