Akir nodded to Pia and ran up with everyone else

Raken stood there and raised his hand to his mouth and quickly cleared his throat. He then sighed and began to speak
"Now at this point in time I am supposed to take to some parts of the dark forest and show you why you shouldn't go there without me or Hex, preferbly me though. So If you all are ready just say so, and if any questions before we go speak up"
Cy reluctantly rode over to listen to Raken. Settling next to Alex, Cy spoke to her. "Im sorry for the way i acted" He said gruffly, being against his nature to apologies for things. "I was hoping you would understand" He continued. " I dont make friends easy and I am not to partial to people but, I dig you and thought maybe I could have at least one person on this Island prison that I could confide in" He said humbly. "If you dont accept my apology i can take it" Cy finished thinking=why should she be any different than anyone else. She wont forgive me. O well=
~Alex looked at him through the corner of her eye and just watched as he apologized. Her eyes narrowed for a moment then she looked forward with a smile.~ Big bad Cy saying he is sorry? I would of gotten over it eventualy. But to hear you grovel at my feet, so to speak, is like Strawberry Laffy Taffy. It tastes good and its gona last a good long time. ~She looked right at him, winked and stuck out her tongue just a bit to give off a cute teasing look. She giggled softly then looked to Raken waving her hand in the air Enthusiasticly.~ Im Ready!
Raken nodded and his dragon talim landed nexted to him, he rubbed the top of her head. And she sat down since she was toobig to go into the forest without knocking trees over.
"Well follow me i shall give you a brief tour." He then started forward into the blackness of the dark side of the forest. Just as he son entered strange sounds could be heard eiree purring and sharp growls all around. he sighed and stepped over a few roots and fallen branches,
"come now, this is just the entrance"

Akir gulped and went behind Pia he was trembling
"th-th-thats a realllly creepy forest. I-I-I don't want to go" he shook his head
not feeling to hot back at the hotel so I bought another day))
Hex smiled and sat down, Apep laying behind her so she could lean back against him. "This should be interesting... Gives Raken a chance to bond."
Apep a snorted and watched them go. "He's about as faithful to them as he is to your servants."
Hex sighed and closed her eyes as she snuggled up against Apep's side. "Yes... No matter. Tell me of the new threat the island is facing."
Apep sighed and looked back at her. "Very well, my child."
Raken stopped and turned around after getting maybe 20 meters in. He looked over at everyone
"Well here's the first stop, First thing to let you know its dark in here becuase it is the gateway to the other side of the island. The side that is in darkness during the day time, prove too much of a trouble maker and thats where you will end up" He sighed and walked over by a large twisted tree its branches and base twisted into an akward looking position
"Well here one of the good reasons why you shouldn't come here by yourself, as you know this island is home to many creatures that are thought to be purely mythological so not everything is what it seems. Now I need one of you to come over here and touch this tree" he pointed to the large twisted tree.

Akir saw it and gulped loudy, he leaned forward and whispered to pia
"I for sure am not about to touch that"
