The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)


Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

It isn't very long until the others start getting up and soon Jasmine starts making breakfast with Helena as the others pack. Half an hour later the group is on their way again and Jasmine takes to the air.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

{You really think its the best Idea to be flying given what happened yesterday? Dragons breed in large broods and that last one had been small...} Annoyed at Jasmine's seemingly risky behaviour but plods along anyway, if she needed help again Helena would help, as always. Hopefully the next stop wasn't too much farther away. Helena passed the time by talking to Red about her past and live in the surrounding area. Finding she enjoyed Red's company immensely.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*I won't be far ahead. And I'd rather not get surprised by another zombie horde, thank you very much.* The trip goes peacefully, with Jasmine occasionally passing directions to Helena. A couple hours to the trip Jasmine drops to the ground suddenly. *Everyone hide! It's another dragon. A big one.*
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena squeaks when Jasmine comes shooting down into the middle of the group and groans when its another dragon. Pressing herself up against a nearby tree, she waits quiet as a mouse for it to pass...
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

As the others do their best to get cover, Helena can soon hear the beating of huge wings getting closer. The dragon seems to be flying quite low, otherwise it would be visible by now...
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena does her best to stay absolutely still, trying to use her ability to create illusions to blend into the surroundings. {Think its here because of the younger one?}
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Probably not, dragons tend to not care about their kin very much.* The dragon comes into view and it's truly enormous, the black wings covering half of the sky as it glides past.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

{Holy Hell that's big...} All Helena could was wait for it to pass, there was no fighting anything that large, not winning anyway. {I didn't even know dragons that big were still around....}
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Where would they have gone? They live forever, aren't worth the effort it takes to kill them and never stop growing.* A little while later the dragon is gone from the view, apparently still moving to the same direction and the group continues the trip with Jasmine walking with the others this time.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"I see you decided to join us on the nice safe ground!" Helena says with a chuckle. "Are we there yet~~~"
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"The route is pretty straightforward from here, no need to scout it." Jasmine says with a shrug. "We should be there in a few hours if nothing happens." Strike seems to have switched to walking on the trees now that it's a possibility.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena shrugs and watches Strike for awhile before hopping up into the trees with him, moving along like she had in the valley. before getting bored with that as well and moving back down to the ground with the rest of the group. Everything seemed to be pretty quiet but after the dragon, and the zombies, and the wolves, she doubted it would stay that way.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The rest of the morning goes quietly, and soon enough they arrive at a precipice with several cave openings high beyond reach. "This should be it, though after the other places I was expecting this to be more like them."
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena flops onto the ground and groans "Finally, no more walking. Walking sucks." Looking up at the cave entrances above sparked her curiosity and she found herself standing up again despite herself. "I don't see the point in expecting things to be like anything, I mean, if you expect nothing, then you're never surprised!" She says with a giggle before immediately bounding up to one of the entrances and peering inside.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

As Helena flies up, the others set down their burdens and wait for Helena. After several meters, the cave ends in a surprisingly smooth and straight wall that doesn't look entirely natural.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

{Jasmine, think I may have found a hidden door here, but I'm at a loss currently as to how to open it if it is. I'm going to poke around in here, check one of the other caves please.} Placing her hands against the stone, Helena carefully goes over every inch of the smooth wall and the walls nearby, looking for a way to confirm her hunch.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Why are you in such a hurry? We meant to eat lunch before starting to explore.* The more Helena looks at the wall, the less natural it looks and in several places it moves slightly, but there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to open the door if it indeed is one.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

{You can eat lunch then. Save me something simple?} As she grows more and more suspicious of the wall in question but fails to find a switch of any kind, Helena begins to grow frustrated. Moving back Helena tries to think of a way to open and decides that she wouldn't figure anything out without trying anything. Looking at the wall for a second or two, Helena raises her hands and hits the wall with a blast of telekinetic force. Maybe she could knock it open...
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Even though Helena gathers as much force as she can, the wall refuses to budge from mere brute force.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Seeing that that wasn't going to work Helena sits down and thinks about the puzzle. Getting back up she checks every single spot along the walls from entrance to suspected door, pressing on every odd stone and checking anything that didn't seem to fit the natural pattern of the stone, her mind reaching outwards like it had back when she had been attacked by the carpet. If this didn't pan out either then she would check the other cave entrances.
