*Zephyr stood just inside the castle courtyard, waiting for the other beasts to arrive. It wasn't even sunrise yet, but Zephyr had been up all night, not able to sleep a wink. Today was the day, that they would start off to find Penni... if they could even figure out where to start! He stared up into the dawn sky, and silently hoped, no, silently prayed that somehow they'd find her in time.*

*Mika and Xylia arrived a little after Zephyr. They hoped to get going soon. But they both knew they needed a plan if they were to succeed.*
*Mika walked and stood next to Zephyr and tried to not roll her eyes. They may not have been the best of friends, but she should at least be nice to him.* I really just want to get going *she whispered to Xylia right next to her. Mika had always liked Penni, and she didn't want her to get hurt.*
Be patient. *Xylia whispered back. She wanted to rescue Penni as much as anyone. If that ferret hurt Penni in any way... Xylia looked at her swords. She would hurt Selia ten times the amount Selia hurt Penni. She would stoop to the level of torture*

OOC: *gulp* Now I'm scared of Xylia!! BIC: *Zephyr watches as Xylia and Mika approach. He ignores Mika as she rolls her eyes. Ok, so yesterday didn't really better her opinion of him. Not that I really care! It just means I'll have to be careful around her. That's all. Zephyr thinks silently, before returning his attention back to the squirrel and stoat before him. Suppressing a yawn, he gives a tired smile.* Well good mornin' ladies! Did you both sleep well?

OOC: lol you should be. Very well, thank you. *Mika replied quietly fingering her sword. She was eager to teach the vermin a lesson. She hated any kind of vermin... they had killed her brother, that in itself was enough to hate them.* I slept fine *Xylia said quickly, deciding to get to the point* we need to come up with a plan to save her. Charging in isn't exacly going to help, we need to do this with as little risked as possible. Got it?

*Zephyr nodded in agreement.* Yes, I understand that. And whoever took her will definately be ready for us to come. That white ferret was probably only a servant, not the real mastermind. The thing is, right now, I have no idea where they might even be. I think we should wait for Cal, he's been doing some research and I think he'll have an idea where to start. *A playful smile appeared on his face as he teasingly added.*Even though some of you I know would do anything to get into a fight quickly.... *His green eyes flashed across to Mika's, then darted away. He was thinking of yesterday when Mika tried to make him spar.*
*At this point, a light caramel brown ferret appeared. Arien grinned at everyone. Still chipper despite the early morning hour.* Good morning everyone!

*Mika looked away... again... so annoying. He just couldn't keep his mouth shut could he? She ignored his comment and said to Xylia* I quite agree. We can't rush into the camp. *she turned to see Arien and nodded to her*
*Xylia looked at Arien* good to see that you've showed up? *She turned to the group* did anyone bring maps? I forgot to.

*Arien's smile waned for just a minute.* No, I'm afraid I didn't. I don't even own a map... I don't go traveling very often.
*Zephyr felt like waving his arms and asking if anyone had heard what he'd just said. Instead he reigned in his impatience, and tried again.* NO, I don't have maps, Cal might have some. Like I said before, we DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY TOOK HER. Or even WHO took her for that matter! But Cal will have some idea who did!

*Xylia stared at Zephyr* Okay Zeph, cool it. I didn't mean it in that way. We still want to know where on earth we're going so we can... I don't know GET BACK. *She was getting irritable. She just wanted to find Penni... quickly*

*Zephyr barely resisted the urge to roll his eyes. But he did! He also bit his tongue to stop all the sarcastic comments from coming out of his mouth. Now was no time to get into an arguement.* Let's just wait for Cal.

*Mika felt kind of awkward. Usually it was her that got into those kind of fights with Zephyr.* So... Arien... how are you doing? *She asked innocently as she glanced at Zephyr who was rolling his eyes at the moment. Figures*

*Arien's face broke into another small grin.* Fine. Tired, but I suppose everyone is right now.
*Zephyr turned away from the ladies to stare at the sun which was now barely peeking over the edge of the horizon. Soon it would be morning. They needed to get going, but they needed Cal first.*

*Mika shifted uncomfortably hoping they could leave soon. Where was Cal? She was beginning to worry that he wouldn't show up. She was starting to get restless. She fingered her sword. What was taking him so long?*

*Just then, Cal ran up, holding a large, rolled up paper* Sorry I'm late, guys. I've been in the library. *He spread the paper out on the ground to show them. It was a map of Fallsilver and the surrounding lands.* I know where Penni is, and it's not going to be easy to get her back. *He pointed to a region on the map outside of Fallsilver* This is Blackburn Forest, ruled by an bat named Steluil. You might know that Penni was adopted after she was rescued from Blackburn. Steluil is trying to get revenge and take over Fallsilver. *He paused and looked at the others*

*Mika shuddered. The black forest? no one around here had ever ventured that far before.*
*Xylia nodded.* Thanks Cal, that's extremely helpful. *She turned to the rest of them.* I have a plan, It's a little risky, but would you like to hear it?

*Zephyr stared, intrigued by the map. He'd never been in Blackburn Forest before, this was going to be interesting.*
*Arien greeted Cal with a smile, then gave Xylia an nod, encouraging her to go on.* What's your plan Xylia?
