You couldn’t be sure what you’d find in the long grass but you’d break through that to get to a narrow rough path. After Xandra spoke she listened hard. The noises they would have heard from the road were quite faded now so she could listen but hear nothing yet. “I’ll fly over to the other side and guide you across. Just folllow my voice”. It was nearly at head height but she could even land in the grass if need be. Alice’s flight stirred the grass and she kept low trying to get the directions in her head. Once on the oath they could just go straight back to the coast road or onward into the forest proper. “There’s only a few yards of long grass to get through. Just keep going” she advised. xandra

She took a second and then she nodded. "Okay," she said. She knew that everything was going to work out or she felt like everything would work out as it needed in the end and she took a minute. "So, do you think that we need to go diving at the new cave of wonders and see what we can find, maybe it will help me figure out what it is that I am supposed to do around here and what might be going on with me and my whole existence."

Seeing xandra emerge from the very long grass Alice landed on the path and knowing their direction it meant going back to the coast road or onwards into a stranded forest. The cave of wonders was mentioned and a visit there was suggested. “It might help if we went. I’ve heard they have a living museum in the shape of a sunken pirate ship. So it might be linked. Perhaps you might even recognise something when we get down there” she replied. It did make sense to get your answers from the ocean if you came from there. xandra

"Perhaps." She did not know if she was more interested or more scared the only thing she truly knew was that she did have to get down there. Soon but not too soon in her own head. "I will gather the details and then contact you, will that be fine?" she asked. Alice Seraphim

Xandra had a plan. That seemed clear to Alice so after she made her suggestion she replied "that will be fine Xandra. When you can get there is good for me". Now it was a waiting game in regards to the cove of wonders but a mystery right here and now. They just could fly back down the way they came but but this bit of forest was getting her curiousity going. "We'll be fine as long as she stick to the path" she added as she advanced. If they found something other than usual forest animals they might be in trouble but she was going to look anyway. xandra

"If we are not I know how to kick someone in the head," she figured that might come in handy though she was not the type to go looking for violence she knew how to kick hard which for her was an accomplishment. "I will also make sure not to go anywhere that is more than a little dangerous at night time. I need to start instituting rules for my own safety." Alice Seraphim

“That’s good to know” Alice replied to Xandra and then listened carefully. Hearing nothing out of the ordinary she added “being aware of the danger on a dark night is sensible. It shouldn’t stop you having experiences though. You can institute guidelines all the same but going out with friends is still fun”. She seen a grey squirrel dash across the lane and scurry up a tree deeper in. “So far so good” she mused quietly as the followed the dirt track. xandra

She did not want it to. "I actually agree," she said as she looked around. "I mean when my adventure is over I might even end up living here and so I do want to know more about how it works. I guess there is just honestly a small part of me that has and is still afraid even though that kind of sounds silly." Alice Seraphim

Alice understood about being afraid. When she was a girl there was little she could do apart from be angry. Now she could help bring order to lawlessness; in fact the more recent crime here partly resembled what you'd find in the early days of American cities and she knew what she was doing was working. "Everybody is afraid in some manner Xandra. Its acting against that that makes you brave. I'm always afraid just before the shooting starts but I know I can do fighting well. You'll find what you are good at too and staying here is a good idea. Its the first place I've truely felt at home" she replied. xandra

"I know that you are right but sometimes it is hard to remember but you are right and I need to do better so starting tomorrow i will do better but today I am going to do as i should not and probably eat too much and then throw up with nothing but regret in the morning." Alice Seraphim

So going deeper into this forest it did have shade from the hot sun. So far there was nothing dangerous and it would actually make a good camping spot; even better if there was stream nearby for water. Food was no problem as there was a food van not far away. So Alice got out her phone and opened up the notes app. If she didn't record things right away she tended to not do it at all. "I'm going to take note of this place and its a good camping spot. Perhaps with Lucas and others. If we find water it will be even better. This is a prime example of what good surprises you can find her. Right now we also know where can go back for more food as well and we still have time before it gets dark" Alice replied with a little happy smile. Experiences both good and bad made a life and this evening was looking like one of the good ones. Even if throwing up was down the line. She found their footing was getting harder now so advised Sandra to move more carefully. "Damp ground normally means water is closely. So there might be a stream or pool around here. It would surprise you just how much of the island hadn't been named or mapped properly". So this made them explorers. xandra

She looked at her and she nodded. "I mean it is big here I could easily see someone just getting bored and sticking things here or there to meet the islands standards and there being a lot of land that we do not even know about," but still she moved carefully because she did not want to fall or anything. "I think that I will be okay as long as we do not run across anything too bad or dangerous." Alice Seraphim

"I've only seen a squirrel so far; so unless we disturb its tree we'll be fine" Alice mused as they continued to explore. That meant going deeper into the forest and she used the light on her phone to illuminate what was in front of them. The beam wouldn't show them much but they could see the ground was getting more rocky and uneven. It was also going upward. "I did see archaeology records of the island before its got its current name. Previous researchers marked former grand buildings and villages deeper inland. It might be fun to explore one of those villages later on and see what actually remains. It might just be bits of walls and foundation marks but why build so far inland when you have a perfectly good shoreline to work with?" she posed. xandra

"I do not know. I mean maybe it was safer because of something like fault lines perhaps?" She knew absolutely nothing when it came to what she guessed at best was the infrastructure of the island. "You know if there is a hidden village around here I think that would be neat but as far as I can tell no one has found that yet." Alice Seraphim

“I suppose historically it was easier to settle on the coast wherever in the world colonists went. Staying close to your ship was protection and home and these colonists were no different. At some point they went inland and built there. It would be fun to see what we can find at a later date” Alice replied. “Fault lines are possible and I can check for historical earthquakes back in ARI and the university”. By now Alice was finding mud and that meant a water source. That turned out to be a stream of fresh water. “This is a good camping spot and it could be us finding another past settlement”. xandra
