Scrambles chapter five: Into the Woods, Again

Illya awoke to a familiar feeling. A soft hide beneath her and another on top. 'What? Am I back on the reservation? How can that be? Wait. That bright light. Could it have caused this? If so, where are the others?' Automatically she got up and exited the tipi. It was definitely the one Morgana's mother and father had stayed in. But why was she in it? Shouldn't she be in the quest tipi they had stayed in during the hunt? Then she saw a reflection of herself in the boiling pot. 'I'm like fourteen or something. I must be in Morgana's past. Guess I've got to play along. Maybe they'll find some way to contact me or something. Wonder where everyone else is.' With that she took off into the woods. Off to her secret place. **************************************************************************** ****

Logan had heard about the accident in the workshop and wasn't too happy with Forge. His daughters were trapped in the past. And with what little they knew about Shadow's past, he pity her or whoever was there. Of course he didn't feel so sure about the pixie-thief working to get them back.

He could do nothing but wait. And think while he was waiting. While he was thinking, he did think about what had caused his daughter so much grief. Morgana and Alex were happy together, and Fawn had to ban him because of his past. Because she didn't want Morgana to end up in the same predicament. She didn't realize that Alex and Morgana balanced each other out. That he had given up life as an infamous cat burglar. For her, and only her. And he gave her up so she could remain in her tribe. Even after she had told him she would choose him. "The kid really does love her," he said aloud. He was in his room, so no one had heard him. "I've got to do something about this." He padded over to the desk in his room. Picking up the phone he remembered there was no phone at the reservation. Throwing a few things into a carisack, he informed the professor that he'd be back in a few days. Without farewells, he mounted his bike and rode off. **************************************************************************** ****

Illya had found that she had ran to a small meadow outside the village. She had been here several times in the past four years. There were so many trees here; Maples, Oaks, Hickories, Cottonwoods, Pines. All kinds of softwoods and hardwoods, deciduous and evergreens. All healthy and growing strong. She was the cause of this.

'Wow!' Saber thought. 'I'm experiencing Morgana growing trees in her forest. This is cool. But I thought I heard Forge say a person could visit a special memory. Wonder what this one is.' She thought this as she was mending a dying tree. She quickly felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see an elder of the village staring down at her. He beckoned her to follow, which she did obediently. They walked back on a path which she realized was heading towards the village. **************************************************************************** ****
Logan had reached the airport, his flight on time for once. Grabbing a quick bite to eat out of the vending machines he made his connection on time. Sitting down in his widow seat, Logan thought of his quest. Then it hit him. "Man, I'm becoming a bloody match maker and a peace keeper." He let his thoughts to mull during the rest of the flight. **************************************************************************** ****

They had reached the village and were walking to what she remembered as the chief's tipi. She heard the elder call out and strangely she understood. 'I know I don't know those words. This is cool.' The chief walked out, he was considerably younger. Spotted Fawn and Grey Wolf joined them. A long conversation broke out between the adults. She understood every word.

When it was over, the chief walked over, and placing his hands on Morgana's shoulders, said, "Young Earth, the Creator has blessed you with a special gift. You can heal the things of the earth."

"Not just heal, I can control and grow them, too. And I can talk to the wolves and the birds..." she was so excited. Whispering Wind turned to Spotted Fawn.

"She really is of the Earth." He smiled. "And great...like her father." 'This is the moment that she that she got was fully accepted.' Saber thought. "Young Earth, use your gift for good. It is a part of you and always will be. For you are Nature herself." 'This must be when she got her code name. This has to be one of her favorite memories. The first time she had been accepted into a large group. Into her tribe. No wonder she's having such a problem with her mother. But she and Alex should be together.' With that Morgana's body took off through the village, singing the chief's praises.

She ran back through and searched for Water. She came to the tipi, but was suddenly distracted by something shiny. She went to it. The source of the shining object was a mirror in Pixie's hand. "Irona, what are you doing here?" she asked softly.

"Forge sent me to tell you...shoot, after this many times I should know it by now..." then she picked up a piece of leather. "I'll just take this. Oh, yeah. This will all be over soon."

"Is that it?"

"Yes...I think so...Possibly...More than likely. I have to go. Bye, bye." and she was gone. Saber went back to what she was doing before hand. **************************************************************************** ****

After finding something that could possibly work, Forge had begun constructing a homing beacon. Nightcrawler's image inducer had come in handy. He used the inducer as a basis for the beacon. By replacing the picture files, he installed a map. A map that held coordinates for the workshop to bring the wearer back. He just needed one more piece to complete it. One piece to make it work.

"Irona, can you get me that little square box over there. It's shiny and has little buttons on it." "It's not over here," she had been taking care of the animals while he had toyed with the invention.

"What?! It was earlier. Are you sure?"

"Positive. It's not here. You must have loss it." she stated.

"Great! That's the last piece and the most important! Quick, all the others. We need to find that piece!"

End chapter five. Six coming before seven. Added something new with the thing about Logan.
