~To dunes and Ani's search party~

{?}Aeries, Sunset, Satin, Blossom,  Watermelon and Archelium arrived at tundra. Mammoth was outside at the mountain on look out- he immediately spotted them.{?}

+Mammoth- You're back!- Oh! And you brought Archelium! That's great! We've found our first dev! Or second-... Everyone's inside waiting for you! I'm on look out.-+

+Archelium- Who's this? And what does he mean by "second dev?"-+

+Aeries- We'll explain when we get inside. And this is Mammoth.-+

{?}They entered the Nyctoxon cave.{?}

+Archelium- My devs! This is the nyctoxon cave! Where they all hid from the arsonos! Sadly that didn't work. Why are we here?-+

+Sunset- This is the only safe place we could find to hide from Sar'hingaro-+

+Archelium- WHAT?! YOU MEAN HE'S STILL ALIVE?! HE'S NOT IN DAIMONA YET?! This is stupid! There's no point on trying anything!--+

+Aeries- Archelium! Calm down! We have a plan. It involves having every dev and our original plan for the prophecy to get rid of Sar once and for all.-+

{?}Sunset was creeping out of the cave{?}

+Hellion- Where are you going, Sunset?-+

+Sunset- It's Void, she's not here! I'm worried she might fell in the water or something. I need to go find her!-+

+Hellion- Ugh, she'll turn up eventually. You know saikaries, they're curious. It doesn't mean they can't find their way back. Don't worry.-+

+Aeries- Besides. We need to find the other devs.-+

+Sunset- okay... can I at least ask Mammoth to keep a look out for her?-+

+Aeries- Yes.-+

{?}Sunset nodded and flew out of the cave.{?}

+Archelium- I'm sorry, that sochuri has a saikarie daughter?-+

+Hellion- Yes, it's stupid but he convinced the wardens to let him raise her.-+

+Archelium- You mean, you and the wardens?-+

+Hellion- I uh...-+

+Aeries- He's not a warden for some reason. The wardens banished him and they were picking a new Hellion warden.-+

+Archelium- Well that's Jeff-brained! Sar picked Dawn to be the warden! Who gave them the right to change that?!-+

+Hellion- They thought you wouldn't mind...-+

+Archelium- Hmph!-+

+Aeries- Anyway, Archelium, do you know where Ghibli lives? Have you seen her?-+

+Archelium- Yes, she lives at salt flats in dunes. All of her people are there now and they basically rule dunes once again. Why?- Oh, right. We need to get this prophecy out. You sure this will work? I don't even know if any of the kerukus would give up their eggs for this. They're desperate to have their numbers go up and stop being endangered.-+

+Aeries- Exactly. They're so desperate they might do anything, especially to the devs.-+

+Archelium- Right, you convinced me, Aeries. So we have to go get her and bring her here?-+

+Aeries- Yes.-+

+Archelium- Seems easy enough.-+

+Sunset- not quite, actually...-+

{?}Said Sunset, arriving back{?}

+Hellion- What do you mean?-+

+Sunset- When I was younger, my parents made me learn the Dev lore. Aperantly she's just as thirsty for power as Sar...-+
