~The search of Athulyth~

~2 hours later~

+Cloud- We're here! We'll hover around, see if you can spot anything-+

+Riptide- Actually, I have to rest, I have no stamina left.-+

+Cloud- Well then, I guess we have to go. Good luck!-+

+Watermelon- Good luck to you too!-+

{?}Cloud grabbed Riptide and flew away{?}

~Meanwhile~

{?}Two "cloned" Aeries arrived at hot springs, and waited for the right moment...{?}

+Fyluf messenger- My great warden, we have delivered the messages.-+

+Ardor warden- Perfect! We can prepare the party!-+

{?}The two cloned Aeries looked at each other and took off{?}

~Meanwhile with Satin and Watermelon~

+Satin- I'm so tireeeed! Can we please take a breake?-+

+Watermelon- No! Keep gliding up there! Athulyth must be here somewhere!-+

+Satin- Maybe... Riptide and Cloud were right... maybe Athulyth doesn't exist...?-+

+Watermelon- Of Cours she does! Look! Down there!-+

{?}Satin landed exhausted, stumbling on the floor, panting. Watermelon ran towards something{?}

-Look! Food! That should help you.-+

+Satin- So we're taking a breake?-+

+Watermelon- Yes, yes, just for some snacks. You eat, I'll continue searching.-+

+Satin- Sounds good to me!-+

{?}Watermelon ran towards dunes but was still in plains, searching for Athulyth{?}

+Watermelon- Where are you Athulyth... What would I do if I was ancient history and didn't want to be found... {she saw an odd shaped rock} I would make a secret puzzle! Satin! I solved it! I know how to find Athulyth!-+

                                           +~0~+

+Satin- {Satin went to Watermelon, holding a bunch of berries} Yeah?-+

+Watermelon- Yeah! We need to solve a puzzle!-+

+Satin- What? Oh, great... can't I just sit back and watch?-+

+Watermelon- Yeah, sure, but I don't think Ardor warden would be happy to know that I was the one who found Athulyth and not you.-+

+Satin- Fiiiine.... so, what did you find? {She said with an attitude}-+

+Watermelon- {Watermelon ignored her attitude and said:} This rock-or boulder, is oddly shaped... {Watermelon walked around it and saw an arrow shaped carving with a blobby- circle between it} hm... Looks like this is an arrow... but what's that blob thingy?... {She looked at Satin who was holding a strawberry} Give me that- {She took it}-+

+Satin- Hey! I was gonna eat that!-+

+Watermelon- {Watermelon placed the strawberry on the "blob carving"} A perfect match an fit! But it doesn't do anything...-+

+Satin- Look! I see something in this lake!-+

{?}Watermelon jumped in the lake and saw an ancient ruin arrow "stabbing" the lake's ground{?}

+Watermelon- {she surfaced and popped out her head} It's an arrow! Help me get it out!-+

+Satin- But I can't- {Watermelon pulled her in the water}-SWIM!-+

{?}Satin and Watermelon started pulling the arrow{?}

+Watermelon- {She pointed up and swum up, surfacing} It won't budge!-+

+Satin- I guess we'll never find Athulyth... {She said, pretending to be sad, when she really was happy about it}-+

+Watermelon- Nonsense! If we went back to the wardens empty handed, how do you think they'll react?-+

+Satin- ......Disappointed?...-+

+Watermelon- Yes! Exactly! So we need to find Athulyth! So let's pull that arrow out of the water! {Watermelon went back in the water and started pulling the arrow again}-+

{?}The arrow was solid and wouldn't budge in the lake's ground, until Satin came in and started to pull the arrow with Watermelon. They pulled, and pulled and pulled, until finally... "WOOSH!" the arrow's heaviness made Watermelon and Satin fall back slowly. It landed on them, making it hard to get out of the lake. Satin's breath was running out, so Watermelon had no choice... she bit Satin as hard as she can and then, Satin had more breath to spare. They pushed the arrow off them and swum up to surface, while swimming, Satin saw a shiny rock, so she went it, grabbed it and surfaced.{?}

+Satin- {GASP! Cough!} We... did... it...! {cough! pant, pant} Ph-phew!...-+

+Watermelon- Yeah! We did it! This arrow is so heavy! What did you find?-+

+Satin- A shiny rock, maybe this is the second carving.-+

+Watermelon- Maybe... But how would we get the arrow in it?-+

{?}a small 1-tier sized tunnel opened, Watermelon and Satin looked at each other and entered it. They saw a strawberry shaped rock at the end of the tunnel{?}

+Satin- You think this is the last carving part?-+

+Watermelon- Only one way to find out!-+

{?}They ran to the carved boulder, added the arrow on it's place, then the strawberry rock on the arrow, in it's place... everything was silent...{?}

+Satin- Nothing's hap- {The arrow flew bright, then brighter and the strawberry rock broke in half with an old ani's orb. The old was attached to the arrow, the arrow flew, tased Watermelon and Satin and got stuck in a wall on a small mountain behind them. The orb shattered and went everywhere in plains, looking like small stars scattered around. A cave behind them opened, an Athulyth, was in her slumber...{?}
