“I shall stand guard as well.”

Siansa watches them listening… this Xaio… of the Tros family… Perhaps she might have an unlikely ally. She continues further into the jungle, listening to the stars, letting her heart guide her as she sought their knowledge.
In her heart a war wages, one between selfish desire and the other of a cold iron-clad will. One is fleeting, a passing cloud, the other is like a stone with words engraved upon it. Her mind drifts as this war comes to a conclusion.
Siansa falls to her knees and fall backwards, the grass her pillow. She stares at the stars, her eyes welling up with tears. If she is going to make a home for a people… Siansa wipes her face. She now knows what she must do. Tonight is the last night she will ever be free…
Envarus looks up at the stars. He focuses his attention on the Wolf and Eagle. “Where are you leading us?” He wonders aloud.
To the Thunderstorm Bow…where else? The Eagle said with sarcasm in his tone. You’re not the only ones after this Ancient weapon…
Overly literal too sometimes. Envarus thinks. “I meant where is it, and what is guarding it.” He whispers as he falls asleep.
Aldrich sits next to Ashkey and Ernesto, silently keeping watch till the Sun rises.
Reyna laid down, tired from their fight. Her mind still raced, and the image of that strange print in the woods still seemed to haunt her, but through it all and still feel asleep, knowing she would need to be ready for the trek ahead.
Sinsa stares at the stars drifting to sleep, alone in the forest. She makes a silent promise to herself.
After a last look on the forest, Drakoniarh closed his eyes and put himself to rest.

As our Heroes fell asleep and some stood to watch, in case there are any unpleasant surprises out there to hurt them. The core Sapphire Owls rested while Will was up in a tree, though he swore to himself he won’t sleep in one. He thought he’d give it another go if Alina could do it, so could he.
The shining pale white moon was way up in the sky, one could say it was the brightest star out of all of them. Judging by the brightness and how up it was, probably it was around midnight by now. Will was fiddling around with the ring Siansa gave him, as he thought about her. “Where are you…” He muttered to himself as suddenly his grip around the ring tightened and formed into a fist.
Will’s gaze glanced at one of the stars, which blinked with a brighter all of the sudden. He smiled slightly, shaking his head.“Never mind.” He said bringing his gaze lower from the star. “Where ever you are. I will find you.” Those were his last words before he fell asleep on the tree.
Morning came
The morning and the rising sun will come up as fast as when the sun would set and the moon would rise, together with its silent night. The sun shined very brightly today, its blazing sunlight would work as sort of a waker for our Heroes, as they could feel a bright warm light stare at them down.
Amelia’s eyes frowned before slowly waking up, she brought her hand towards her eyes, blocking the sunlight. With a few groans, she sits up and looks around, as usual, Will was already up. He was swinging around with his sword, while Alina woke up as well. She popped her back and did a few stretches.
“Self note, Will…” Alina said suddenly with a groan. “Next trip, I’ll be joining you in the tree sleep house.” She giggled. “Much more comfortable than sleeping on grass…” She huffed before standing up.
Will glanced at her with a side-look, nodding slightly. “I’m pretty sure, Tempus City has comfortable beds.” He teasingly adds.
“Oh right,” Alina said. “Wouldn’t want to make your girlfriends jealous.” She giggled to herself.
“Girlfriends…?” Will asked confused.
Amelia fakely coughed, her hand curled into a fist that was against her lips. She stood up and walked towards them. “Anyway…” She said, her hand gently rested on Will’s shoulder. “We need to wake the two sleepyheads.” She adds, smiling mischievously at Will.
Will smirked. “I got the right thing.” He said, from nearby of what remained of the Tribe he found a bucket, he took some fresh drinking water from the lake and filled the bucket. Will walked towards Leandro and Norag, who were snoring like two pigs, one would say and were awfully close with each other.
Will pushes the back and in doing so, the cold freshwater splattered on Norag and Leandro, which woke them up in an instant with a sudden shook. They closed their eyes and slept for a few seconds…
Will rose his hand at Amelia. “Wait for it…” He said.
Norag and Leandro opened their eyes and blinked as they stared to their own. Realizing that they actually slept together, they break their hold and jump out of the way and stand up quickly. “I’m up!” Leandro said.
Norag yawned, scratching his butt. “Yeah…yeah…I’m up.” He nods.
Amelia giggled. “Good.” She said.
Will didn’t waste time and he threw the bucket away and made his way. Amelia noticed this and after, hopefully, everyone woke up she tells them. “Alright people, we don’t have time to waste. There is a relic, awaiting us.” She said as she walked towards Envarus.
“Hey, you are kind of like our only option…” She said. “Can you use your Celestial Vision to guide us, please?” She asked him (@TBT_Emerald)
Aldrich stood up, stretched and began slowly walking towards Amelia and Envarus.
Envarus looks up at the sky, sunglasses on. He focuses his attention on the wold. “Which direction now?” He whispers.
Envarus would see the Turtle Constellation pointing forward. That way. The old voice of the Turtle spoke.
“So, do we know where we’re headed?” Aldrich asked Envarus.
Reyna woke up. She’d had that dream again. She sighs as she gets up, getting ready to head out.
Envarus points the same direction the Turtle did. “This way.” He says, then starts walking.
Amelia nods. “Alright, let’s go.” She said as she, Leandro, Alina, and Norag walked with Will in the front, casually walking as if nothing bothered him but deep inside something did. For our heroes, it would be easy to distinguish that they had to follow Envarus to get to the Bow.
Drackh barely got up when the others started, but he kept silent and followed.
Siansa wakes up, finding herself laying in a patch of soft grass. She stars at her hand for a moment before getting up.
She checks her person, making sure she has everything that she brought… Siansa sighs realizing her from last night only grabbed her sword.
She rubs the back of her neck and continues to follow the stars. From what she heard last night, she learned there is someone else after this artifact and it’s a Starwalker. She needs to stay ahead of she doesn’t want this weapon to fall into the wrong hands.

Oire woke up and packed up his belongings.
“Anybody want a bite to eat b’fore we go?” He asked.
