She once again inspected the writing on the snatched page from the Sunshine Circle. It almost seemed to easy. Though perhaps it was only because she had a bit of an unfair advantage. But did this concern Cynder? Not in the least. As a dragon the instinct to gather possible shiny objects of value was inherent, and frankly one she loved to indulge herself in once and a while.

The dragoness set down near the abandoned tent sitting near the edge of the darkened jungle. The area was a deal more intimidating than her previous visit. No spires of light dancing in the sky or lively shouts and decorations brightening the colored tent, of which had a somewhat decrepit and lonely appearance at this time. Almost a bit sad really. That is, if she didn't know the history of it.

Cynder glanced the page again and read over the riddle. "Time to go back on stage I guess," she muttered to herself as she entered the tent and began the search for her next clue. A curiosity rose at the back of her mind as she padded along: would others join her? Perhaps one of her allies from the mission that had brought them here the first time? In a way she hoped so, so then she wouldn't be alone and vulnerable. However then she might have to split her reward. There was also the chance that nothing was even here. Though that thought was buried away deep.

Two giant stone slabs has been drifting throughout the abandoned jungle for some time. Only few would know what it was and even if they did, they wouldn't be around for much longer. He had been disturbed many times and was growing tired of it.

Eyerok hovered acrossed the jungle floor with a particular phrase in mind. Never being outside his temple, he was very awakened by the new surroundings around him. The disease-filled forest certainly was "an eye opener" to him but he cared nothing for the inhabitants of it. His bulk sandstone body, if one were to call it that, dropped against the cold dirt ground as he slowly rotated his left palm to search the area.

Being an ancient being of a time of intelligence, it provided him with some knowledge with a wide variety of puzzles. His trip through the digitized history was difficult due to his bad grammar and unfamiliarity with new words so he had to try to get some people read it to him- as long as they didn't run off screaming from the stone monstrosity.

From his understanding, it wanted him to search for a place where some heros had fought a powerful insect. He could simply squash the thing with both of his eyes closed. Two events had insects involved- the battle with the technological Genesect and the circus bug thing that was here. He didn't really look much more into it as he had made his mind up.

Coming back to his senses, he noticed some color in the distance. Beginning to head towards it while keeping both eyes open for any threats. He had not seen anyone out here, or anyone in general, but he kept his guard up by having his hands close together.

To aleviate the sense of forboding and to make sure he had not been mistaken in completing his earlier mission, the Terror of Death glided along as though following the clue in the riddle, as it was here that he, A.I.M, and Cynder had fought the terrifying Beelzebub for fate of the hostages, who were now safely within the Life Sphere.

He was greatful that he took part in the mission here last time, but now he was indeed looking for clues as to the answer of this silly riddle, and any infected would be too terrified to come near skeith to even attack him, for his title was not of arrogance, but of actuall terror on sight.

the moment the epitaph reached the site of his latest triumph, he looked around, this time, the tent now looked lonely and barren, even the inside showed no suprises, as the charred remnants of electricuted seats were easily distinguishable from the seats that survived the onslaught of the bug prince that he so easily obliterated with his Data Drain after extinguishing the servants.

Despite the amount of beings within the area, the air was calm and quiet. The ring of small wind movement was the most that the surroundings had to offer. It would seem that none of the independents had taken note of each other just yet, but their time to discover was near. Soon after each began to search in their designated area, the sound of a tiny propeller echoed throughout the clearing the three found themselves in. Quickly after that, any who were familiar with the white masked creatures would recognise the call of the Shy Guy.

It lingered just outside the tent that the two heroes that were involved with the rescue mission had taken interest in. The distance it made from the three was equal in length since it was doing as it was instructed to do in the event of a tie or when a prize was contested. The little red cloaked being continued to hover while it held a standard issue capsule in its mitts. What was inside remained a mystery. It gently dropped the item to avoid activating it just yet and called out the three to come and get it. First come, first serve.

Before it took off though, it pulled out a small sheet of paper. “Ahem.
‘Did they ever scrub the Grimers’ gunk out?
Perhaps a villainous duo you can ask that about.
In this location is where the next clue resides.
Though you may have to wait before you’re allowed inside.’” Quickly afterwards, the creature took off without much warning or much care for the small item it left lying in the wild grass.

A bit of a creepy shiver lingering around her Cynder couldn't help but notice the approach of both individuals, her eyes flicking to any movement and head turning at the smallest sound. The last thing she needed was to be caught unawares by an infected on a personal endeavor; besides her usual search of course. This one she'd have a hard time justifying if something serious happened.

Whilst she remained a distance away from the strange floating rock the second form to appear in the area was a familiar one. Though she wouldn't exactly call him a chummy friend she at least knew he was an ally. Still, she was here for her own gain and so beyond a introductory call toward the epitaph Cynder did little else to interact with him. Her search resumed until the Fly Guy descended. Curiously she watched as the little robed being pulled out a capsule and dropped it. Was that it? Was that the prize? For some reason she was expecting some sort of egg hunt.

Keeping a rather regal stance she remained rooted and listened to the hovering masked thing. If no others were around she would have no doubt gone in and snatched up the capsule to inspect its contents. But with witnesses she'd rather not appear so... desperate wasn't the word but it would indeed give an unwanted portrayal of greed she'd rather not be coined with. The dragoness preferred her proud stature. However, this didn't stop her from hastily bounding forward once she had processed the next riddle.

Whether she got there before the other two was questionable, and unlikely if they had immediately moved for the item. Her desire to know of its contents was irregardless of who possessed it, and these things were supposed to become better with difficulty so... A curl of her mouth showed her excitement for this game as she came up to the location the item was dropped; ready to pick it up was no one else around, otherwise eagerly watching its unveiling whilst mulling over the next riddle.

He stopped when he noticed the small fly guy flying around. He had seen few back when his world was still in its old Egyptian style and had seen them working. Seeing one now made him feel a tiny TINY bit at home but it was soon crushed by realization that others were here.

Seeing it dropped something into the grass, he began to hover towards it but stopped when the riddle was told. Grimer... that sounded familiar. He stopped to think over it but was darted away from his thoughts as a dark blur ran by him to the location of the Fallen object. He would make a run for it but he was rather slow and he could never beat thing darting for it. He thought over the riddle some more and began to decide if he should head back to life sphere. He agreed upon it and began his journey back. Getting a head start would help him get ahead of him next time...

[Cielmira]

Seemingly unopposed in grabbing the dropped capsule Cynder found herself raising the object to her face curiously. Tearing at it with a claw she ripped the case to reveal the item inside: a Falzer Assist Trophy. Whilst she had no real familiarity with the being it was modeled after the red bird looked nasty; in the sense of encountering not necessarily its mood. Its abundance of sharp and pointy bits was something she could relate to.

Pleased with the reward the dragoness clutched her prize tightly before spreading her leathery wings and taking to the air. The strange rock thing had already left for the Life Sphere, perhaps it already knew the location for the second riddle. Cynder's eyes narrowed in thought as she began a steady acceleration toward home.
