Upon inspecting the pearl, a beam of oon light reflected off its surface into Goldenscale's face, seeming to carry with it a list of plants and the faces of those who protected he pearl in the yeaars past, the last belonging Ece.

"Is there anything worth note about the pearl," Ahnah asked, stepping over to Goldenscale, "Something seems different about it with the mon light covering it."

"It is giving me a list of plants as well as people who have been protecting the pearl." she said quietly.

"Why would it hold such information? It's just a pearl isn't it," Ahnah asked, the images moving to her. "These plants, they're the symbols of nature itself. They represent every aspect. Theya re everywhere," she said, blinking a few times, "This must be a pearl of nature. One of only a few dozen remaining. Something has been destroying them through the years."

"Exactly.  These pearls are something that families keep as a valuable heirloom now." she said as she set the pearl back and memorized what the plants were.

"I'm glad Ece will be in Mayumi's and Tieral's direct care. At that, we might want to bring those plants to Mayumi. She might know what to do with them," she said, shaking her head clear, "These plants may be able to be made into something useful to us in our jouneys."

"Or be ingredients to something much more..." she said.

"All I know about the pearls is that they contain a list of ingredients for a potion. What that potion is for I have no clue," she said, taking the pearl and placing it under Ece's wing, "Whatever it is, I can only assume it is important or powerful. Why else would it be hidden away in such a way?"

"True...  But they are protected well.  I have a feeling we shall need to remember this in the future." she said as she put the bags on her shoulders.

"The plants are burned into my mind, and I assume the same for you," she said, lifting her bags onto her back,"We'd best get going now. Once Tieral wakes, he'll try to seek us out for a few last words before we leave. He'll want to say goodby, and , call me superstitious, butI consider that bad luck. If he never says goodby, we are making a promise to returne."

"But it gives me more than enough reason to return.  So many good things have happened to me here, and I will return even if I have to fly across the globe in a day.  I made a promise to myself that I would.  But he will know not if I will.  I would rather him know that I will be back, and let him see us once more before our departure." she said with a smile as she looked at him with a smile.  she walked over to him and gently placed a kiss on his cheek before walking to the door and silently jumping out.

"This will be the first place I will returne to as a home. It is where I will be missed, and where I call safe heaven," Ahnah said, fallowing after Goldenscale, "Home is the place you returne to, and whereyou are most loved. Home is where you are happiest."

"It is.  And it is a wonderful home." she said with a purr.

"Agreed," she said with a purr of her own. Stopping at Mayumi's door, she went to knock but stopped when she saw a note taped to the door. After reading the note, she turned to Goldenscale. "Mayumi wants us to meet her at Frost's grave. The note says she has one last thing to show you before you go," she said, handing the note t Goldenscale.

She nodded.  "Then that is where we shall go." she said as she flew off towards the cave.

"I wonder what she has planned. I know she's not from this world, but there must be a limit to what she can dowith her powers," Ahnah said, flying beside Goldenscale.
