Jewel was so happy when Light had made it back!She could stop thinking so much about if she had died or something.Crystal was just glad to have her friend back.They had waited at the bottom of the mountain,the next leg of there journey for them for about two days before she finally showed up.They all had changed into warmer attire,the temperature getting colder and colder each day seemingly that they where around the mountain.Crystal and Jewel and everyone else had mounted up and where riding over the big piece of rock.Crystal was riding infrount of Jewel when she felt the ground shift.Float nayed in distressed and bucked her off.Jewel's horse Pick did the same.The girls found themselves falling down a long dark hole.They had heard there friends horses hoovesteps getting farther and farther.A avalanche or something like that had probably had happened and they where running for there life.It wasn't the best thing for Jewel to think about,Crystal was trying to figure out how to stop there descent.After about a half an hour the girls hit the ground.They felt the cool stone of the mountain,but they never felt the pain of the impact."H-how a-are w-we still alive?"Crystal asked shakily,pushing herself up onto her knees.Jewel didn't answer,she was trying to collect her bearings."J-jewel?"Crystal called out a bit scared."I'm fine."Jewel said to reassure her friend."Can you fly out of here?"Crystal asked."I don't know how to activate it I've been trying to figure out how for the past few days."Jewel admitted.Crystal felt all hope drain from her,she stood and looked around bleakly when she spotted something."LIGHT!"She screamed and ran towards a flickering torch her footsteps echoing.Jewel got to her feet and ran after her using her ears to guide her.The light showed a stone tablet with some words.Crystal read them aloud,
"A flower orange like the wild cat.Delicate and maybe even fragile,but strong and courageously rising the sun's rays caring for it like a mother would a child."
"A tiger is orange."Jewel noted instantly after Crystal finished reading."Maybe that's the first bit."Crystal guessed.Crystal stared at the word for about ten minutes."Got an-"Crystal cut Jewel off,"A lily is delicate and fragile seeming,because people sometimes call little girls delicate lily's."Crystal said with a smirk."Tigerlily?"Jewel said questionably.The floor shook beneath them knocking them off there feet.Two paths opened up."I'll take the one on the right."Crystal called."I got the left one then."Jewel said and they headed down the pathways.Jewel came out to the outside world."LIGHTNINGPOOL,LIGHT,WILLOW,LIGHTHERB!"Jewel shouted spotting her friends and her's and Crystal's horses.They heard her and came over."Where's Crystal!?"Willow asked."She went down another path thing she will come when she finds a dead end.Crystal didn't find a dead end though.She found a limp girl,with a strange shaped amulet.It was shaped like a Tigerlily.The girl was knocked out cold so Crystal gently picked her up and carried her back the way she had came.She then took Jewel's path,surprising them when she came out with the girl."Who is that!?"Lightherb shouted dismounting and running forward."Giver her to me let me see if she is alright!"Lightherb demanded not giving Crystal a chance to answer.Crystal gave the girl to Lightherb and she went to work while they talked."We might as well set up camp here."Lightningpool decided and Light and Lightningpool got to work on setting up tents.Crystal got some food from Float's saddlebag and opened a can of noodles.Willow got to work on getting a fire going and did so on her fifth try.Crystal made soup,to help keep them warm and once it was done she handed it out to everyone.Lightherb kept guard that night while they slept wanting to make sure if the girl was alright.
Ice,"So they both passed the trial even though Crystal was not suppose to be in it."
Lightning,"I feel as if Jewel would have failed the trial if Crystal had not been there."
Rain,"I agree also do one of you know when the two we have been expecting shall arrive?"
"I am here."
Rain,"What happened to your companion?"
"She shall be coming tomorrow she had to deal with some matters that delayed her."
Ice,"Have the next trial's have been set up?"
"They have."
Lightning,"We are forgetting tradition,why have you not said his name?He has entered and you have not."
"I am tired from my journey you may do tradition tomorrow let me rest."
Lightning,"Very well."
