Phon waited to cross the bridge, he waited for the right chance to move...

(not much of a post but I'm waiting...)

[Albino Gnoll]

As everyone, except Phon, finished crossing the bridge she breathed a sigh of relief. It was the home stretch! Looking back at the other she could tell some of them were frightened, some of them could have flown away, but they hadn't. Camaraderie had held the group together, but where was Phon?

Finally she noticed that he was still on the other side of the bridge. Skidding to a halt and running back a little ways she projected her thoughts to him loudly, comparable to a yell. "Phon! We have to get to the trees or we'll never lose them! Come on! Hurry!"

Looking back behind her, she watched as the rest of the group continued to run. She was tempted to run after them and catch up, but someone needed to wait oh Phon, otherwise he might get left behind. No, she couldn't let that happen. She would wait on him, and hopefully her decision wouldn't cost her her life.

Phon saw that all of the group had gone and he was last, the animal machines were just a few feet away, then- he sprinted as fast as he could, the bridge was cracking and falling apart but he knew he might not make it, then a the last almost 5 feet away, he jumped.
"Rah!" Phon said jumping as hard as he could, then he hit the ground landing on his shoulder. The impact made a large "Gug"- ing noise and slid across the ground then rolling a bit.
He looked up at Lyra who was standing infront of him, then got up.
His voice was deep as usual " Cmon lets get back to the group."
Phon then looked back, the bridge was practically destroyed, that means the Freaky animals woun't follow, or at least try.

Safari stopped the rag-tag group at the edge of the trees, turning around and looking at the mechanical animals. One, a parrot, stopped flying and perched on a mechanical gazelle's head. It glared at her with red eyes. It cawed a strange cry and took off in the direction of the smoggy city.
"I have a feeling we are going to see them again," Safari said, shaking her head.

Artemia, panting slightly, bent down so she could try to get a few lungfuls if air. She wasn't used to running on four legs human lungs (she had bird-ish type lungs). Rocy lay flat on her back, somewhat dizzy.
"Are. They. Gone?" Rocy said between breathes. Artemia nodded and said, "Safari, what're we going to do?"

[Albino Gnoll]

Lyra nodded to Phon as he got up and suggested that they return to the group.

She walked with Phon back to the group, most of whom seemed to be catching their breath from the long distant sprint. She wasn't really winded though, she could have kept running for awhile longer, but she was thankful that they didn't have to.

Upon Artemia's question, Lyra looked to Safari for a response. It was a good question. What were they going to do? The only shelter they had had since coming to this strange land had been Ebony and Ivory's house, though that hadn't lasted long. Now they were in the middle of nowhere at the edge of a strange forest which none of them knew their way around.

She was discouraged and tired. She hadn't had much sleep back at Ebony and Ivory's house, but it was at least some rest. For now she needed to focus on the present. They needed to find new shelter and wait out the rest of the night. There was no sense in trying to travel through the forest at night.

[Cory]

Artemia's question was... Convincing. What ARE we going to do? The best thing to do was to just let them sleep, and, Phon can be on guard, he can go without rest for months, plausibly years.
" Maybe you guys can rest while I stay on guard for the whole night." Phon said in his normal, deep voice.

[Elfy-ness]

Safari shook her head, rather quickly and uncharacteristically, "Ohh, we need to keep moving...." she said, but turned to the forest again, looking at the tall, dense trees.
"I wonder how hard this forest is to navigate?"
As if in response, a figure jumped down and landed a bit clumsily onto the ground middle of the group. When the figure re-straightened, it was clear this man and his beard had seen better years. He was short and wrinkly, his age to hard to tell by the thousands of wrinkles on his face. His hair was a totally different story. It was long and gray and tatty on his head, with things tangle in it- and wait! Whatwas that? Is that a SPIDER?! Gross!
His beard was even WORSE. It was long down too his knees and random items interlaced the hairs. Dead mice, grass, papers, and in the middle was a perfectly ripened carrot, the greens of the head draping out for easy reach.
His crackly voice was old and scratchy.
"Did I heer sumon say navigaton? Spiorad, at yer service, and dutifully at thet. I know my in 'un outs of this har forest like me own beard," He said,eyeing the group crazily.

ENTER SPIORAD. (This character is universal, meaning you can controll him, just don't ooc with him Iworks hard on this crazy coot.)

[Cory]

Phon looked at the old man. He looked as if he lived alone for years, only knowing the forest and mabey some passing humans, it looked as if he's the guy to ask where to go and what to do...
