Eligh was happy for the responce. At this, Zhicoal spoke.

"I suppose you need to leave in the next few days... But none of you are to tell anyone about this. Not even your families." He sighed, "However cruel it may seem, it is nessicary. Your only message to the centuars is that we need their help, and that Zhicoal bids them well. And..." he pulled out a wooden seel and handed it to Eligh, who took it at looked at it. It was a flying eagle. Fitting, he supposed, for a Yanua. "Give it to the King, Haricar, and he will take heed to your words and actions. Which brings up the subject; be wary of what you say and do. The centuars judge someone by what they can see."

Inanco took a deep breath. <i>Leave without telling my family?</i> he pushed the thought away. It was what he had accepted when he decided to go with the group.

Everya nodded. Not telling her family was easy, she had lots of secrets.

Aeryn glanced at Kithsytha and then nodded. "We would like to go as well."

((Alright. Sinse no one has posted, I'm gonna skip on ahead to where they are about to enter Mienora.))

Norokai gracefully lead the group of Yanua, across the sky, Eligh atop his back. Sighing, Eligh looked longingly down a a small river flowing along the foothills of Khymor valley. His lips were cracked and bloody from constant wind flowing past his face, and his hair was growing tan from airborn sand in Tonorik, and above all, his throat was as dry as a the desert. Nodding off and closing his eyes, which were also very dry, he spoke silently to Norokai,

Norokai, please... I need water... I'm sure everyond else does too... Understanding emedietly, Norokai gave three consecutive cries and pulled in both wings, decending like a rock to the ground, before spreading his massive limbs to ease their fall and landed by the river. Once Eligh practicly fell off, he ran to the water and drank. And drank. And dranks some more. Finally, after some light chiding from his winged companion, he washed out his hair and splashed himself in the face. Then, he turned to the rest of his companions.

"Were almost there, by this map. He said, spreading the aged piece of paper/cloth on a large stone. "Idealy we'll get there by tomarrow morning." He looked up to the sky. "Before full moon... Zhicoal told me the centuars are very... How'd he put it? Figity... On a full moon." He continued gazing at the moon in the sky. Even in the afternoon it was visible. Then, with a light nudge, Norokai brought him out of his trance. "Anyway. We'll fill our canteens, eat our rations, and continue."

Aeryn felt his heart race as he started this journey. He felt as if he was free again...like he was helping someone with a cause. He smiled as he nodded to there leader. It sounded like a good plan.

Rayen was sore in all the wrong places from the long flight on Adahy's back. It felt like it had been an eternity since she had had a good rest. But she hadn't complained about their fast pace. She knew as well as everyone else that it was urgent that they get to the centaurs.

She sighed with relief when she saw Eligh and Norokai descending in front of her. Finally we get a rest, she expressed her sentiments to Adahy, Down, my friend. Adahy was happy to oblige.

They landed by a river, and Rayen stiffly climbed off Adahy's back. It hurt to move, but she was extremely thirsty so she managed to get herself to the riverbank. With shaky hands, she lifted the water to her mouth and drank. Then she dipped her head into the water, ridding herself of the dirt and grime that she had earned during their traveling.

Water dripping off her drenched hair and down onto her face and clothes, she made her way back over to the rest of the group, Adahy following behind her. She stood by Eligh, listening as he spoke. She could see that the relentless traveling had taken its toll on him as well. She sighed when he said that they would have to continue soon, but she didn't complain. She knew that it had to be done. At least they would reach the centaurs soon, and then maybe they could rest for a day or so.

"Do you think the centaurs will be able to offer us help?" she asked Eligh confidentially when he had finished speaking.

I'm back!

Eligh sighed at the question.

"I hope so. But honestly, I don't know. Zhicoal says that that seel of his will earn us passage from the king... But... I don't know. I honestly don't see how a king could know, much less trust a crazy man like Zhicoal." Sighing once again, he shook his head. Leading with a pessimistic attitude wasn't good. "But I'm sure we'll be fine... Anyway. Now lets get some food in our bellies. I don't think I've ever been so hungry..." He then pulled off the rather large pack off of Norokai's back. He had been carrying the majority of the food, as he was larger than the rest of the eagles, save the other Toru eagles present, who also had packs. Tossing a small cotton bag to each peroson he was near to, Eligh opened one of his own. He then turned to Rayen.

"Rayen, are you alright? looked back earlier... You didn't look so great. In fact you looked rather sick..."

Rayen didn't blame Eligh for having doubts. In fact, she had quite a bit herself. Would the seal that Zhicoal had given them really earn them passage? The man did seem... odd... at best. She shook her head slightly as if to dispell her worry. She guessed that they would cross that bridge when they got to it. She took a little food from the bag and sat down next to Eligh.

She managed a small smile at his concern. "Just a little weak from all the traveling," she told him with a small sigh, "I'm just glad that the journey's almost over... well, for a little while at least." One good thing had come from the long journey though. Although, she and Eligh had been good friends since they had known each other, over their travels they had grown closer. Rayen wasn't sure what to call it, but her feelings for him had... grown. She smiled at him again. "Thank you for asking." She studied him for a moment, her dark brow furrowed in worry. "What about you?" she asked.

(Hope you don't mind that little bit I added about Rayen's and Eligh's relationship, SG )

(No, 'course not. Its fine. )

Eligh sighed and stared at the dry meat and bread in his hand.

"I'm fine... I guess... My limbs and lips would greatly disagree with me at present, but overall I'm alright." He smiled at her. "I suppose once we gain audience with the king, we will gain trust... But... I don't know. I don't know if we should stay there, go back, or split up. I see no use going back to a war zone, and from the rumors going around in the local wildlife - Norokai's been snooping. Again. - The dwarves in Strieghiem are having the same problems we are... Exept the entire Utura is swarming with julare and kyenari." He sighed. "Sorry. I just... I don't know. I feel somewhat responsible about these Kyenari... I don't know why." His brow furrowed as he stuffed his uneeded cotton bag back in the pack. "We need to get moving within the hour, or I'll fall asleep..." he said, his voice hoarse as he started nodding off.

Roanell walked to the water and drank and got ready to head off again and complete the long walk.

Eligh watched and waited for everyone to finish their meals, then stood.

"We need to get going. It will be best to get there by tomarrow morning. I'm assuming there is a reason that the centuars are gittery on the full moon. Whatever it is, we need to avoid it." with that he mounted Norokai and took off.

Selbren, riding Zephranus, followed, keeping to himself. He was never really comfortable talking to others who he barely knew.

Zephranus took off, following Eligh and his eagle...
