Selena smiled. "Thank you." She stepped lightly upon the dirt, not minding the sticks that would have been under her feet if Joka had not cleared the way for her. She glided over the forest floor like a cat. She glanced at Joka and held out her hand. "Common, I wanna show you something."

Joka took Selena's hand and followed her.

Selena led Joka through the forest, running along the river. She stopped and pointed with her free hand. "Welcome to the falls" A waterfall crashed upon the rocks, roaring and thundering as the water slammed down. She felt the mist from the river gently touch her skin as she giggled and reached out a hand to play with the mist.

[b]"Welcome to the falls" A waterfall crashed upon the rocks, roaring and thundering as the water slammed down. She felt the mist from the river gently touch her skin as she giggled and reached out a hand to play with the mist. [/B]
Joka smiled and watched Selena play in the mist. He looked at the falls. "It's really beautiful. I can't remember the last time I saw something like it..." He said, staring at Selena.

Selena twirled around as the mist swirled with her. She smiled and looked at Joka as he stared at her. She got a warm feeling in her stomach but tried to ignore it, yet it was still there. She moved back, her foot caught on a rock. With a sharp cry she fell into the river. She shook her head and bobbed to the surface. She began to laugh. "Sorry, that was clumsy of me."

Joka looked into the water and smiled at her. He stepped back and got a running start before jumping far out into the middle of the water. There was a big splash as Joka landed. He came back to the surface. "Actually you're quite good at diving." He joked, laughing lightheartedly. He swam closer to the falls. "This place is great." He said, feeling some of the mist tickle his nose.

Selena smirked as she acquired an idea. She took a deep breath and dove under the water. Her arms flung her downwards as her legs kicked wildly to drive her farther. She spotted Joka's legs kicking from the surface and swam near him. She grasped his legs with her hands and pulled, tugging him under with her. She smiled and winked under the water before flying to the surface, taking a deep breath of air as she broke the tiny wall that seperated air from liquid. She began to giggle, looking at where Joka had been pulled under. "Sorry about that, I couldn't resist."

Joka rushed to the surface and wiped the water from his eyes. "You crazy girl..." He said smiling and swimming closer. "I'll get you for that." He laughed, splashing water at her playfully.

Selena giggled as the water struck her face. She slapped the surface of the water, spraying him back. "I bet." She stuck out her tongue and swam under the water. She headed for the waterfall. It struck her down and she was forced to struggle behind it. She giggled as she crawled upon a rock on the other side of the falls. There was a hidden cave. She smiled and yelled from it, "What's taking you?!"

Joka swam quickly to meet her behind the falls. "I'm right here." He called up to her, pulling himself to the cave.

Selena grasped his arm and helped him up. She giggled and squeezed the excess water out of her hair. "Well that was fun." She laughed and it echoed throughout the cave. She touched the falls, allowing the water to swallow her hand, making it cool and soft. She cupped her palm and then threw the water at Joka, giggling again.

Joka laughed as the water hit him. "This has been the most amazing day of my life... Thank you Selena." Joka said quietly.

Selena winked and gave a peace sign. "It was no trouble at all, Joka. You deserve to have fun once in awhile." She smiled at him, her eyes sparkling as the water crashed down around them.

Joka smiled at her brightly and let the falling water splash over his feet. "I'm glad you're my friend Selena. You're a great person." He looked at his feet. His hand moved slowly and rested on top of hers.

The warm feeling returned and she smiled back at Joka. "You are a great person as well, Joka. I'm glad to call you my friend." She was about to say more when a sharp pain sliced through her heart. Selena gasped and clutched her chest. She jerked open her eyes. "Galzra!" She looked at Joka and then ran out from the cave, diving under the water. Galzra was hurt, she could feel it.

Galzra tore through the sky as arrows punctured his wings. He snarled in pain and wipped around to avoid the arrows. His jaws snapped at the archers below him. One of the arrows caught the thin membrane in his wing and tore through it. Galzra growled sharply in agony and was felled as the archers came closer.

Joka hurried after Selena. "Jr.! Come to me!" He shouted. Jr. crashed through some trees and swooped his claws into the water to grab Selena and Joka. "Run Jr.! We need to hurry! Selena, guide Jr. as well as you can, he will listen to you now."

Selena closed her eyes, as Galzra sent her mental images of the forest where he was at. Selena snapped open her emerald orbs and pointed to the west, a darker part of the forest. "There! He's down there Jr.!!"

Joka stood up on Jr.'s back and looked down the path. As soon as they got close enough Joka jumped off of Jr.'s back and hit the ground running. "I'll make sure the area is clear of threats." He shouted up to them as he ran through the trees.

Selena cried out to Joka as an arrow whizzed past him. She needed to help them. She glanced around for anything. She would have to use magic if she could find nothing. She leapt out of Jr.'s grasp and raced towards a tree branch. She snapped it over her leg and quickly ripped at the bark until a decent sharp pointed edge was made at it. She examined her spear and then charged towards Galzra, knowing he needed her now more than anything. She raced through the trees until she saw the archers. She cried out to them and charged. The archers were caught off guard and paid for it. Selena struck the spear into the ground. She swung her body around the stick to kick one of them in the face. She quickly leapt to the ground, grasping the spear and throwing it at one of the archers. They gave a choking gasp as the spear pierced through his chest. Selena grasped the spear and yanked it out of the bloody body. She cried out suddenly as an arrow grazed her cheek, leaving a bloody mark upon it. She glared at the archer and charged, locking the spear with his bow. Another archer took aim, this time at Selena's heart.

The arrow flew fast and nearly made contact with its target. In a blinding flash the deadly projectile was gone. He was a sigh and a thump of something hitting the ground. Joka had jumped in the way of the arrow and it had stuck firmly in his fore arm. He was on his knees prying the arrow out of his flesh. He pulled a dagger from his boot and tossed it with lethal accuracy into the archer's chest. "There are more... Jr., help Selena, I'll clear out the archers." He said standing up and running off using the arrow he pulled from his arm as a weapon.
