Kindred Spirit Lodge Presents
Settling In Of Amber
by Selenamber, Kit, killian, dj, Alison, & Hunter
January 10th~26th, 2002
____****____
From deep within the southern forest, a lovely alchemist sat pensively. Her name was a combination, which had come to her in a dream. Selene = Goddess of the moon + Amber = is the magical stone witches use, hence the name Selenamber. She wears on her finger a talisman, the design represents fire, water, air, earth & spirit. On the reverse of the ring has a special inscription that only she knows.
She stands at 5 foot 6, average build, long flowing dark brown hair with auburn highlights that are more noticeable in direct sunlight. Her complexion is fair, with piercing brown eyes that change depending on her mood, or with different phases of the moon. She wears a white robe made up of panels of silk and satin, wrapped around her waist is a gold cord.
Through an accident that led her to reside in a cottage deep in the forest. She found there several books, scrolls filled with recopies, and began studying. She now has the knowledge of potions, oils, herbs etc. Her life now is different to where and what she was many moons prior. She has a past that has been unspoken and kept secret.
Selenamber's companion is a silver raven called Luna, representing her colour as well as the moon. Luna is very unique in the sense that she speaks and only Selenamber will hear and understand the words spoken. Luna is also her protector & advisor.
_________
For many moons now, Selenamber felt a pulling. She had this need to head north but didn't understand why. Finally, the young alchemist decided it was time to find out what this tugging was, and she took off through the forest on her unusual trek.
The beautiful woman found a Lodge far off in the northern valley and stopped to rest her weary feet. As she entered the lively establishment, she received an enthusiastic round of warm hellos.
_______
"Thank you all for such a wonderful welcome into your lodge. You all have made Luna and myself feel quite comfortable here. Which brings me to ask, is there any available rooms left for myself and my companion? I would need if possible somewhere where there's enough room for my books and certain items left behind at the moment. I have my cottage deep set in the forest, which is at least several hours from here. I would have to return there to bring back further belongings, if so would one of you be so kind as to accompany me there perhaps tomorrow?"
"Until then may I rest someplace here and get a root beer & something to eat."
While Selenamber was thanking everyone and enquiring on lodgings etc, Luna was circling kirby wondering whether friend or foe?
_______
Kit walked up to the new Lodger and said, "Selenamber, I would be most willing to help you out tomorrow if you need of me. My name is Kit, and I am pretty new to this region. I would love the opportunity to look over the forest lands and help out a fellow Kindred."
_______
want to bring back is my personal effects, the only problem is I want to bring my oak chest back, it has certain items I may need. I would be most happy to show you some of the forest lands on the way to my cottage, we won't get lost - I don't think! Just joking. I have a wicked sense of humour at times, I hope you don't mind that."The beautiful alchemist continued, "Seeing you have offered to come with me, what time would suit you for us to leave? Firstly though, I really need to get some rest, and if you wouldn't mind could you show me please where I could obtain something to eat and drink?"
_______
Kit smiles at Selenamber and says, "Surely, go and sit down over there and i will get a wench to serve us."
Kit goes and gets one of the serving wenches and tells her to go and give Selenamber whatever she would like please. Then Kit sees Hallvor and goes to talk with her. After talking with her, she goes back over to Selenamber and says, "Mid-morning would be good for me, Selen, may I call you that or maybe Amber?"
_______
Pondering Kit's question about names, Selenamber spoke thoughtfully. "Kit, I actually would prefer Amber, its shorter, and easier. Mid morning suits me fine, that way I might be able to sleep in a little, that is if Luna allows me to, she is my personal feathered alarm clock. Speaking of sleep, I heard in passing if I need a room, to go speak to killian."
"That's correct, in fact she is over there. I'll leave you to it, and see you mid morning. See you then, sleep well."
Amber walked over to killian. "Excuse me for disturbing you, I heard in passing that you're the one I need to see regarding lodging."
The shorter woman smiled warmly up at the alchemist, "You heard right, what do you need?"
"All I need is a reasonable size room that's quite airy, has room for an oak chest, books and some other personal effects and is big enough for Luna to stretch her wings. The problem is, I kinda put the cart before the horse so to speak. kit has kindly offered her assistance to accompany me to my cottage to help me return with my belongings, the problem is I don't have anywhere at the moment to put them. Do you by any chance have any vacant rooms?"
Lady Alison saw Amber talking to killian and made Her way over to them. "Little sister, it does My heart good to see you again. I trust young lass is taking good care of you. She is quite good at finding just the right room for folks, and I am sure she will find something that suits you and Luna to a tee. After you settle in perhaps you will join Myself and My precious pet for drinks? I have some things to attend to so I shall be off, just wanted to welcome you home."
Alison places a tender kiss on Amber's cheek and gives killian a little swat. "Take good care of her My pretty one." With that Alison turns and strides up the steps. This day She has plans for Her sweet pet and is eager to implement them.
___________
Lady Alison took her leave of the lovely ladies in the main hall. It looked like she was on some type of mission. The young killian attempted to speak once more to Amber, but dj hip-bumped the squirtly one before she had a chance.
"Amber, it really is good to see you again, hon. Our rooms are huge, so you should have plenty of space for your belongings, even that hefty chest. And if you're in need of research material, our Library is filled from ceiling to floor with an extensive collection of works. From the early history of Gaia, to humankind, philosophers, religions, science, astronomy, and even the bizarre. Oh, and a deluge of erotic, stimulating, sensuous, and extremely HOT Smut too!"
The young wench winked at the beautiful new Lodger, avoided a Swat from the squirtly one, and took off to her smoky domain...
_________
killian smiles at her new sister.
"amber, my dear, i have just the room for you. On the second floor, there is a large room with a balcony, two windows, and a nice little fire place. There is room for Luna to fly around, and feel at ease inside or out. I think all of your belongings will have no trouble fitting into your room.
When you and Lord Kit get back from your journey, the Lodgers will all help get your stuff up to your room. Then you can come down and have a meal with us in the great hall.
Anytime you need anything, just give me a holler.
Oh, and what colors would you like in your robes and towels? Since we use them at the hot springs, it is good to know who's belongs to whom. If you let me know, i will fetch some fresh one for you, and have a bath run for your return.
Again, welcome amber. I believe you will enjoy it here at the Kindred Spirit Lodge."
_______
As Killian described the room to Amber, Luna was circling then flew off, returned a short while later, landed on Amber's shoulder, spreading and flapping her wings, speaking for the first time in many days. Startled by this, " What is it my fine feathered friend, what excites you so?"
"My Lady, I've seen the room, it's wonderful. I have flown around without bumping into anything unlike the cottage, at least here, I can perch on the balcony and look out at the magnificent gardens below. You can even see the heart of the forest from up there. And best of all, right at this moment, the full moon lights up the room as it helped show us the path here.
Amber grabbed Luna's beak, "Hush, my friend, I trust your judgment, or we would not be here now. However, I was not expecting such a room which would be available to us if we wanted it."
Luna struggled to get free, "You mean after all this you're not taking it?" Luna flew of before Amber could answer her.
killian looked rather puzzled to what she just witnessed. She looked at Amber, "May I ask what that was all about?"
"It's a long story. That's beside the point, Luna thinks I might not accept the room, that's why she flew of."
"Oh, I see. Well are you going to take the room my new sister?"
"Most definitely, killian, I would like very much to settle here in the lodge. I am surprised at such a wonderful welcome by all. Between the offer of assistance in returning to the cottage for my belongings, to the help which will be available on my return in moving everything I bring back to my room. Then the kind invitation in joining you all afterwards in the great hall for a meal. This I am not used to. My companion has only ever been Luna, for as far back I care to remember."
Killian smiled, "Let me guess, is that why your skin colour changed slightly when Lady Allison finished welcoming you with a gentle kiss on the cheek as she left?"
Amber couldn't exactly say anything except to nod in agreement. Trying desperately to think of something to avoid embarrassment of blushing again, ahh she thought. "Oh, killian, you mentioned something about robes & towels?"
"Yes I did, so we know who's belongs to whom. What colours would you like in your robes & towels?"
"That makes perfect sense. As for colours, I have always liked deep midnight blue with a gold trim, if that's ok?"
"I'm sure something could be arranged. Is there anything else you might need?"
"Yes there is, killian, I am aware you're slightly busy this evening, I very much appreciate the time you've taken out to help with my new room. I only need one more thing if you or a fellow lodger could please point me in the direction of where I could possibly obtain a light meal and something to quench my thirst before retiring.
_______
(Be Careful On the Path, by Amber)
Closing the door behind the last lodger to leave welcoming the newest arrival, baby Onyx, Amber gently placed Onyx in the small padded basket kindly provided by killian, next to her bed on the floor. As she covered the newborn, hearing a rustling outside, looking up saw Luna trying to get in. Opening the glass door to the balcony, Luna immediately flew in squawking, "She's here, She's here." Perching herself on the side of the basket looking at Onyx.
Amber observing Luna's antics was filled with mixed emotions, curiosity, surprise, and a feeling of peace within. "Be quiet, you will scare her with your squawking. Would you mind telling me how you knew about Onyx?"
"My Lady, it was destined to be. Look at your talisman you wear around your neck, Onyx has a white diamond patch just above her chest, they are one in the same. You were meant to witness her birth just as you were meant to find me many many moons ago in the cottage."
Amber, listening to Luna while studying her talisman. "Wait one moment, my friend. The symbols you speak of are very different. The heart of my talisman is a ruby, likewise my matching ring."
"You don't understand, My Lady, look beyond that and see. You alone hand raised me to what I am today. You have trusted my judgment thus far, have you forgotten who you truly are? Your knowledge you gained, is it now all in vain? Since your arrival here at the lodge you've changed, you're more curious than ever before. BE CAREFUL ON THE PATH YOUR ABOUT TO UNDERTAKE."
"Luna, I have heard enough. We will finish this by daybreak. I must sleep. My hunger is replaced with exhaustion, so please rest peacefully, my feathered friend, we have a big day ahead of us."
It didn't take long for Amber to drift into deep sleep. Her dreams took her back to the day she stumbled on the cottage, the events that followed seemed only to flash past. She then saw a figure of a Warrior carrying a short sword, bow & quiver of arrows, accompanied by a horse, the other she could barely make out.
Startled by a loud noise, Amber awoke to see Luna fly back through the window, and return to the basket. Rolling over to check on Onyx, she only found an empty basket. Panicking, she screamed at Luna, "Where is she?!"
Luna saw the fire in Amber's eyes. "Please, My Lady, calm down. Onyx is safe. I have delivered her to a friend in the forest who herself has given birth while you slept. She has promised to nurture Onyx as her own till she is ready to leave."
"In these past many moons I have lost so many things, and now this. Why Luna? Why do this to me?"
"She will be returned to you when two moons pass, this I speak the truth, it is written in the book & the runes. Just as you will meet a Warrior, however, be very cautious as what she seeks may well and truly be the end of us, and our true form will be revealed."
"Oh, you mean the one with the horse?"
"Yes, My Lady, so you still maintain the power of visions in your sleep, this is good to hear, all then is not yet lost." Just as Luna uttered the words, "Walk carefully," a knock came to the door, followed by, "Amber, it's Kit & merryangel. May we come in?"
"Yes, of course you can. I was about to head downstairs to grab something to eat before leaving. Are you for some reason unable to accompany me to the cottage?"
"Actually, Amber, quite the opposite. I have taken the liberty to ask both merryangel and Hunter if they would join us in the walk to your cottage."
merryangel interrupted kit saying, "I do so hope you have no objections, as we agree many hands will lighten the workload so we can return quickly and safely home. For now though, since your ready, we should head downstairs and meet with Hunter.
_______
(Cottage Trek, Kit)
After the wonderful release that Kit had gotten from merryangel, she remembered that she had told Amber that she would escort her to her cottage and help bring back some of her belongings.
After thanking merryangel for her work by kissing the young woman and tweaking a nipple, Kit thought this would be wonderful way to explore the woods with her two lovers so Kit asked them, "Hey, you two, how about if you help me with Amber's things and then we could look around the forest with a guide. What do you say?"
MerryAngel nodded her head and looked at Hunter. "I'm Game. We could all make the trip and lighten yours and Amber's load too."
Hallvor grinned as she pulled MerryAngel into her lap.
"Sure, after I change my trousers," Hallvor the Hunter laughed, nipping at M'Angel's neck. "Seems someone ripped the ones I'm wearing."
Kit said, "Great, I will go and tell amber that she has the service of all three of us today while you Hunter go and change those trousers. merryangel you come with me, I don't trust you alone with Hunter. I want all of us to go. you might just jump her when she gets back to the room. Meet you here Hunter in a few minutes with amber and merryangel."
Then Kit and merryangel went up to gather amber for the walk back to her cottage.
_______
As Kit, merryangel, and Amber came down the stairs, accompanied by Luna, they saw Hunter at the bottom with a basket in one hand. They reached downstairs and they find out that Hunter had gotten them a picnic lunch for them all to share once they reached Amber's cottage.
As Amber was about to say something to Hunter, the Viking opened the basket and brought out some of killian's famous sweetbread and handed it to Amber saying, "I figured you had not had any breakfast, so I thought that this might tide you over till we reach your cottage".
Amber smiled and said, "Thank you, Hunter, I was wondering what I was going to do for something to eat. Thank you very much."
Amber took the offered sweetbread as they headed for the door. Kit said to her two lovers, "You know, I owe you two for this morning, am I the top this morning?" Kit licks merryangel's ear seductively saying, "If you let me have the control, I have plans for both of you."
The two look at each other and Hunter says, "Ok, but I am telling you right now, no public humiliation, and I don't bend my knee for anyone."
merryangel excited by the idea readily agrees as they set out. Amber first leading the way, with Kit coming up behind her, and Hunter and merryangel finished the ensemble of the day heading for Amber's cottage. Then Kit said with an evil grin, "Great! Ok remember you two, you will not have release until I grant it."
At that Kit got a moan out of both women. When she got this Kit captured merryangel's mouth with her own and kissed her passionately while Kit's fingers had gone to Hunters breasts and tweaked each nipple through the thin fabric, pulling each ring in turn making the Viking growl. When Kit got done with merryangel, she latched onto Hunter's neck where she had marked her the night before and nibbled and sucked while she teased up and down merryangel's thighs to her center and lightly passing over it. Then the trio left catching up with Amber with the bacchae and the wolf wondering what Kit had in store for them.
The four headed up the path as Amber explained more about the country and the different things they may see on their way there. Amber mentioned that there was a T in the path and both roads would ultimately lead you to her cottage, one was just more traveled then the other. When Kit heard this she started to form a plan in her mind.
As they walked, Luna would soar overhead and come back down resting on her mistress's shoulders. Amber lead them and Kit walked in between both of her lovers, loving the scent from both women. Kit would rub their backs in firm strokes as they walked, and once in awhile a hand would travel down to one or both of there asses and rub and pinch the flesh there.
At one point they had all stopped to rest for a few moments, and Amber had gone looking for a Luna who had flown off. While the trio was waiting, Kit had put her hand down Hunter's pants finding the desire of the morning. At the same time, Kit had the fingers of the other hand making a path up merryangel's thighs till they reached their goal, the very wet center of her angel. Kit moaned when she had reached the centers of both women and found they were as wet as she was. Kit thrust two fingers into both women at the same time daring them to cum as she pumped in and out of their very wet centers.
Finally, Kit took her fingers out of the women and gave each woman the fingers that was in the the other saying, "Suck my fingers clean of your love's juices."
Each woman did not have to be told twice, and as they sucked Kit's fingers, each woman used a hand to tease and caress Kit's breasts. Kit closed her eyes with the attention, then when her fingers were clean, she kissed each woman licking the lips of each, tasting Hunter bold but tangy on merryangel's lips and tasting merryangel sweet and sassy on Hunter's lips. Just as they had finished kissing, Amber came back with Luna ready to continue their journey.
The four continued down the path for another candlemark during which Kit had tormented both Hunter and merryangel, running fingers, lips, teeth, and tongue along both necks and other very accessible body parts.
Kit could see the T in the road up ahead and had gone up to speak to Amber, telling her that the trio would like to explore the other less traveled road, and that they would meet her at the cottage. Just as Kit had finished telling Amber this, the duo had shown up. Kit took the basket from Hunter giving it to Amber so that she would have the food there ready for them when they got there.
As Amber took one road, Hunter and merryangel started after her but Kit brought them back saying they were going to take the other path. The three had gotten down the path about a quarter candlemark when Kit saw off in the distance the perfect spot. It had two trees that were very close together. Close enough for a person to be tied to by each wrist. By the gods, there was a perfect fallen log right in front of the trees as well. It looked as if the gods had put it together just for Kit's plans.
When they got close to the spot, Kit took out two things she would be needing and said, "Hunter, strip please." Then Kit took the rope and gave it to merryangel saying, "angel, tie our Viking's wrists to those branches over there"
Both did as told and when Hunter was bound and naked, Kit went to sit on the log in front of the Viking bringing merryangel with her. Kit said, "You both were bad earlier touching me without permission, and for that you must be punished. merryangel bend over and lay across my lap little one."
merryangel did as asked while her juices flowed out of her and she whimpered. Kit raised the skirt of her angel and saw a fine round ass she was about to give some color to in a few minutes. Kit rubbed the firm ass of merryangel, loving the feel of those pale white globes. Kit could feel the honey coming out of merryangel at the soft touches. Then all of a sudden, Kit lifted her hand and came down hard on merryangel's ass. Kit heard the sharp intake of breath of both women and looked at Hunter seeing envy there and desire.
Kit came down again, this time on the other cheek just as hard. Kit heard the little one's moans and got energy from it, stopping and rubbing the now slightly pink globes. Kit's fingers ran up and down merryangel's spine then down over her ass and over her center finding the woman's clit and grazing it lightly with her fingernails. merryangel bucked and then there came down another swat to her ass, over and over again until merryangel was begging for release. At that moment Kit thrust three fingers into merryangel's center saying, "Cum for me, my angel. Cum for me."
As Kit said this, she bent down and sucked in her angel's very large clit and bit down. At that moment, merryangel's bacchae self came out and her fangs extended and bit into Kit's thigh and sucked at the wound. You could hear howls of pain and pleasure at that moment coming from the forest.
When both had calmed down, Kit had gotten up and had kissed merryangel deeply tasting her own blood on the woman's lips. Hunter had become almost frantic with need watching her love being pleasured and punished at the same time. Kit got up and took the other item she had gotten out of her pack and went behind Hunter telling her, "You did not receive permission to touch me earlier. For that you must be punished."
Before Hunter could figure out what was going on, she yelped as much as in surprise as in pain when she felt a riding crop hit her left shoulder blade. Before Hunter could process what was happening, the second blow came down on her right shoulder blade. This time the wolf growls and her eyes turned from blue to wolf yellow. Kit hears this and smiles and delivers another blow to her reddened ass. Then two more stinging blows to Hunter's ass have her moaning in pain and pleasure.
At that, Kit comes up close behind Hunter and grabs each reddened and welted ass cheek and squeezes as she bites Hunter's neck. Hunter whimpers, then her hips buck as the crop is forced in between her legs and brought up hard. Pressing on her very large and throbbing clit. Hunter's knees almost buckle when Kit drives the handle of the crop deep into the woman's hole and begins fucking her hard. Finally ,Hunter begs for release and release is granted as her clit was sucked into Kit's eager mouth, suckling like a baby grazing her teeth over it as Hunter came hard.
Then Hunter was cut down and merryangel dressed her Viking. Then the three went up the path winding up at Amber's just as she had gotten everything out for their picnic by a beautiful waterfall.
_______
(Picnic with Fangs, Hunter)
Hallvor sat down on the blanket provided by Amber. The horse carrying Amber's belonging was grazing by the river and Hall had ensured a wonderful picnic lunch for the three of them.
The Viking leaned against a tree as MerryAngel laid her head on the Viking's lap. Hall grinned and began feeding her mate grapes, one at a time, making the young girl playfully reach for them with her tongue. After a moment, Hall leaned down and added her own tongue to the battle as MerryAngel began to squirm.
"Knock it off, you two!" Kit said impishly, throwing a piece of bread at the two.
"Jealous?" Hall grinned, eating the bread.
"No, just you two are insatiable!" Kit laughed.
"I didn't hear you complaining in the water, yesterday, " MerryAngel grinned but sat up to finish her lunch. "We should introduce ourselves a little better to our friend here. Tell Amber your history, Hall."
"I am Hallvor the Hunter of the North," Hall began. Telling her story had gotten easier over the ages, she reflected. "I was raised as I wished, as a warrior to my family, clan and region. I was promised in hand to the local Jarl, what you would call a Prince."
Hall took a drink of the water she had packed. Hall, typical Viking, never developed a taste for wine, preferring the taste of her homeland mead or ale.
"I wasn't happy, but I wasn't going to fight against the wishes of my family, even though I preferred women as bed partners," Hall continued. "I would even have children with this man, as designed by our customs. He was jealous and forbid me to have anyone else touch me sexually. It's not uncommon in the North, once you have children and fulfill your obligation to family, most times they don't care if you sleep with another woman as long as you don't humiliate the man."
Hall wondered when in Hella's Halls did she get so talkative.
"He caught me with his sister and killed her," Hall frowned, lost in the memory. "Then he raped me but something happened. I had always been a fury in battle and I lost control. I ripped him to pieces and was exiled by my tribe for it. They didn't kill me because of his crime of killing his sister and attacking me."
MerryAngel frowned slightly as Hall skipped over part of the description of that night but understood. There were some things you didn't tell people you had just met, especially if you were staying under the same roof with them.
"His brother broke my back, crippling me. I was found by a Greek warrior woman and nursed back to health and began wandering in exile. I became an Amazon and recently left them, again for the Greek warrior and mate."
Hall took another drink of the water.
"I ended up at a Tavern for awhile and met MerryAngel there," Hall shrugged, dismissing her time as submissive to one at that Tavern. Lessons had been learned but not from that hand, she reflected, but from the Gods themselves pulling her up and tossing her collar aside. "We decided to do some traveling with Kit," Hall finished. Her hand absently playing with MerryAngel's hair as the girl leaned into her.
_______
(Luna's Warning)
Just as she had gotten everything out for their picnic by the beautiful waterfall, Amber saw the trio slowly coming towards her, they all collapsed on the grass looking rather exhausted and very flushed in the face.
"I'm glad you finally got here ok. So, did you all enjoy the walk through the forest, especially the magical place just after the T junction where we parted? Not far from there is two magnificent trees. On first glance, anyone would think they stand side by side, actually they're not, a fallen log separates them. The log alone is said to be enriched with a powerful source of energy. By stepping over it, continuing a little further on, you would have reached my cottage. So, what do you think of my humble abode?"
The three woman looking at each other smiling turned to Amber. "Well, Hunter said, to be honest we found the trees and what you've heard is right, its filled with energy. We didn't however, come across your cottage, are you sure that's the right trees?"
Amber nearly choked on a piece of delicious sweetbread, coughing and spluttering. Merryangel quickly grabbed a drink from the basket, handed it to Amber. "For Gods sake, don't choke! What's wrong?"
Taking a large mouthful of iced tea managed to dislodge the sweetbread. Clearing her throat, "Thank you merryangel."
"What's wrong you ask! The place I spoke of is one of its kind in the forest. That's the entrance to my home. I'm surprised you didn't see it on your way here. The only reason for it not being revealed would be if the entrance had been disturbed in anyway."
The smiles from the three quickly vanished, sitting stunned and silent for awhile, practically in unison, "Amber, tell us you're joking, you're not serious?"
"I speak the truth. I stumbled on the cottage and this place of peace after an accident many moons ago. Through forces beyond my control or comprehension, I couldn't leave. That changed with the last full moon, allowing me to explore the entire forest."
Amber was about to continue her story, when from out of no-where Luna landed in her lap squawking. Gently she took hold of Luna's beak with one hand, the other stroking her feathers, to settle her. "Where have you been and what's wrong?"
Luna flapping about managed to free herself. "My Lady, the warrior you envisioned has an ocelot name Rogue. This little feline flea-bag is named well because she is hot on our trail. Before you go asking how I know this, check out the tail feathers, the flea-bag is presently licking her lips in anticipation of how tasty a morsel the rest of my stature will be."
"I'll also add, since I'm your eyes from above, I feel obligated to tell you of a secret regarding the entrance to our cottage. The fallen log is filled with a magical energy as you know, but it works in certain mysterious ways depending on the emotions and feelings of the person or people it comes in contact with."
Next Luna climbed onto Amber's shoulder, stuck her beak to Amber's ear. To the trio watching this was quite puzzled, wondering what the raven was doing. Luna finished instructing Amber what had to be done. "My Lady, I have a score to settle with this sticky-beak feline flea-bag. I'll distract it. You know what to do, BUT HURRY."
With those words Luna flew away leaving Amber to prepare herself for what lay ahead.
"Amber, we know of the bond you share with Luna. What's happened that has worried you so, is there anything we can do to help?" Kit asked.
"Thank you for offering, but no my friend, there's nothing either one of you can do, I must make haste alone. You all have managed to follow the pathway here, when you're ready, return to the lodge the same way. This isn't exactly what I had in mind. I had planned to relax here, go for a swim with you all, then we'd return to the lodge with my belongings, however, it seems this is not meant to be.
Amber got up headed in the opposite direction that Luna had gone, turning back, called out to the trio. "Just make sure you leave well before nightfall."
As Amber walked off leaving the trio behind, Kit said, " Oh well, I'm sure we'll find out later what's going on, seeing how the water is looking so inviting and Amber did mention she had planned on going for a swim. So, how about it girls??"
