*Ashnel stops, and recognises the sound of the sea up ahead. He breaks into a run, leaping through and out of the trees onto the sand and stone of the ancient tide line.*

*Robin bursts into laughter and dashes after him. She dashes right up to the sea but falls over rolling over. She lies there not wanting to get up. She lets the tide wash over her. Eventually she gets up onto her feet and begins spinning in the water laughing. She knows she must look stupid but right now she doesn't care.*

*Ashnel stands at the edge of the water, waiting for Ayeny. He looks solemnly out to sea.*

*Robin finally stops and decides to leave Ashnel on his own isntead she walks off a bit up the beach. She looks out to sea and thinks that she can see an island. She gasps and smiles. That is where they are going to the port to get some information. They are so close yet she thinks that they still have a long way to go.*

*Ayeny runs after the other two, breathing a little hard when she reaches Ashnel, eyes sparkling as they reflect the sunlight dancing on the waves.*

*Robin hears her and after a pause she comes up to them both.* Well here we are. *She grins and motions south along the beach you can see the mountain up ahead in all its grandeur. She turns and looks at it. She thinks of how to describe the mountain and she decides only one word will do.* Salamandastron. *She breathes into the new air.*

*Ashnel smirks, and glances sideways at Ayeny. He tries to push her into the water, leaping in after. The cold makes him gasp at first, but he soon wades through the water, calmly. He grins again, and remembers what happened when Arven pushed TAlis into the mill pond back at Terralux.*

*Ayeny barely has time to draw breath before she hits the surface of the water, blinking to shake water droplets from her eyes.*
Ashnel! *she half-shrieks from the chill as she splashes him back, but calms down as she adjusts to the temperature, smiling wryly at the grinning squirrel.* Not funny, *she tells him sternly, though she can't help but laugh.*

*Robin snorts to herself watching them but wishing she could be in there too but she just came out.* Come on you two. *She bursts out laughing at them.* You two look like ducks who have jsut drowned! *She can't help laughing and then she runs off down the beach to avoid any quick attacks. She is still laughing but she keeps looking round to mak3e sure they are coming too.*

*Ashnel splashes back to shore, in long, uneven strides. He waits in the shallows for the other before leaping out, shaking himself, dog-like.*

*Robin stops and can't help but laugh even more. She doubles over watching him shake himself off. He looks pretty bad considering he now has wet and sandy fur. She finally stops herself laughing and breathing shallowly just simply grins at them.*

*Ayeny wades out of the water and lets the sun warm her fur, though her wet paws make the sand stick to them, also laughing as water droplet's from Ashnel sprinkle her.*

*Robin smiles and goes up to them both.* Come on we can't just hang around here all day we have to get to Salamandastron sometime. I believe their boat is called the Starsong nice name isn't it? *She grins and waits for them to recover.*

*Ashnel narrows his eyes.* That's Jupiter's boat, no' the Long Patrol's. He used to sail it when he was a dibbun... Still is almost a dibbun. 15 years is too young to be ruling Salamandastron.

I know Jupiter and have met him many times. He will help us I know he will and he seems to be doing a fine job of ruling the mountain himself. He is young but that is not the same as weak. *She grins and nods to him. She looks down the beach and stares at the mountain. She hopes that they will get there soon.*
