Scarlet Looked at the area and found that it was about the size of a racecar track and found it to be an appropriate size for the serving her purpose. Nodding she said "Fine, I just need my Suit. Nick, can you make a starting line?"
After being momentarily shocked that Scarlet said his name Nick walked over to the edge in an Excited Daze. Then proceeded to draw the starting line.
It didn't take long for Scarlet to get her Flying Suit on and walk up to the starting line. Nick grabbed her, held her close and kissed her forehead. As a blush reddened Scarlet's face, he said "Just Breath and let the Air flow around you."
Cliff said in a cocky tone "You are supposed to be the 'Great Spirit' now you are getting instructions on how to fly. HAHAHA you are nothing and just trying to play it off like you are something special! You work for them don't you!! You are trying to destroy us!!"
Scarlet was not happy that she had to Force herself to look away from Nick and said in a grumpy tone "Shut up and get ready. We will Start when we both touch the line. The race Ends when we touch the line again. Agreed?"
Nodding his head in agreement he headed towards the line and put his foot on it. Scarlet walked up and hesitated as she did. Before Cliff could start in again, she said "You might want to strip and Change Form before we start, or your cloths will be ruined." Turning away after she spoke, Cliff was shocked as he looked down at himself, then did as she said without a word.
Since he was in his Animal Form, he couldn't speak and just screeched lightly to let her know that he was ready. Before Scarlet turned, she looked at Nick for confirmation and only turned when he gave her a nod. As she turned and got ready Nick put his arm up and said out loud "Ready. Set. Go!"
As Nicks arm came down, they both lifted into the air and took off. Cliff was a Hawk and was naturally fast, but Scarlet was faster and before he was halfway around the lake Scarlet was heading into the last turn. When she came to the Finish line it was clear to all that she was the winner, and they all knew that she was the One that they were searching for.
Cliff cut through the rest of the lake when he knew that he was lost. As he landed and changed, he said "I'm sorry but we needed to be sure that you were who we thought that you were. These are dangerous times, and we all need to be cautious about who we talk to too. As Rodger said before, we have spies but that also means they do too."
Scarlet didn't take offence and said "I know what it means to heed with caution, but we need to know what you know now. Fireball can help you cook your food while Web Head can help treat your Men. While we can have a nice chat and you can fill me in on what is going on out there."
The Group was once again shocked to hear this and stood there for a few minutes before Doctor Sebastian said, "Hey everyone that needs treatment get washed off and then come over to this side and I will look at your wounds! For all those that are fine get cleaned up and get that sink off you."
Nick called to the Males that had the food and said, "Hey, would you like to Cook that or eat it Raw? If you want it cooked bring it over here." Since Birds ate food Raw and Cooked, he wanted to make sure that they wanted it cooked First.
The Males shook themselves from their stupors and started to move to where they were asked. It was Sundown when they were all Checked, and Fed. Scarlet's group ended up eating with them again because it took so long, and that Dragon knew how to cook.
They discussed what was happening across the land and for the most part it was the same thing as before. The New things were that the Two they Knew the Names of were taking over high ground and working together at it.
Scarlet couldn't believe what she heard. Especially when she heard the Names of the Men. She took a deep breath after taking everything in and said "Clay is someone that is highly trained to Kill large groups with Gas. While Brad will Poison you before you knew that he was there or how you were poisoned in the First place."
The Males all just stared at her after that comment. Some had Scared looks and others were Curious about the Poison and the Gas that she mentioned. Scarlet explained what things were and how they killed. This Scared everyone there including those in Scarlets Group. No One knew how to handle that information and it took some time for them to come back around.
Scarlet was tired after the long day and her Babies were already asleep huddled together in the cutest Little Fuzzy Bundle. She tells the Bird Group that they will be quiet and walked over to Travis and said, "Let's sleep."
Travis held out his arms and Scarlet walked into them happily. As he picked her up and walked to their bed he glared at the group and said, "Those that wake her, or her Young will deal with Nick."
Hearing that, Nick straightened his back and puffed out his chest blowing smoke out of his nostrils. They knew that he was a Dragon and were startled when they saw the smoke. They were tired anyway and after that Great food that they had they decided to rest early. With all the Crazy things that they had seen since the Invading Males showed up and with the appearance of the 'Great Spirit' things were changing and Fast.
