Regen, I think you may be right.We're talking about trees and the fifth,sixth,and seventh lines say That power can kills us,/It's powerfull and so you must/Quench it before it reaches down.Fire kills trees unless you quench it with water.There's water again!and later it has the word melt.Fire melts metal!

*Regen blinks.* *Oh. *The squirrel looks slightly suprisied, like he wasn't expecting to be right again.* *Cool. What does that mean?

It means,**Ammy by this piont is exasperated.**It means that we are right and we should go and find the place this riddle is talking about!

*And where is that, exactly? *Regen pretends not to notice that Ammy is frustrated.*

That's what we have to figure out!**Ammy is nearly at the end of her patience with stuff she thinks is obvious.**Can't you figure that out yourself?**Ammy turns her back to Regen.**

Now, now-! *Engel raises a paw, stepping up and trying to calm Ammy down* No need to fight. We can manage this. Here. *She takes a closer look at the parchment, giving a brief, thoughtful frown.* Well, we know we're looking for a tree. Third in 'otter' - T. Second in 'bread' - R. Third and fourth, last in 'me' - E E. Now, they're talking about a power that reaches down and melts hearts, but not sunlight, because it mentions the light of day. This sounds silly, but . . . love perhaps? *She looks a little bashful, but goes on.* Even if they're not referring to love killing, mistletoe can kill trees that it takes over, and the berries are poisonous. And cautioning against acting as if it's just a game, saying that it's powerful and melts hearts . . . maybe I'm being too abstract about this, but the power sounds sort of like love to me. And mistletoe represents love, I thought. *She glances at Terragon.* Is there any growing on the trees around here?

There might be at the lake, *Terragon tells the stoat, uncertainly. Ashnel nods.* I'm not sure, but something killed one of the trees that Birchy used to climb - I'm no expert - but it could be mistletoe.

*Regen stares at Ammy for a moment, then shakes his head slowly.* ......I thought you knew, the way you were goin' on. *Tree, fire.....ash? *He appears to be trying to get back on track.*

Possibly . . . *Engel trails off, then shakes her head.* At any rate. Why don't we go out looking among the trees. If the ash trees or the willows or this possible mistletoe tree don't yield anything, we can always go back to studying the riddle. And we might stumble over something while we're looking. *She glances at Stoakly, giving a brief smile.* Would you like to come along?

Mabe it is mistletoe.Whatever it is it's confusing, and that's a fact.**Ammy turns back around and tries to get her patience back.**Sorry I yelled at you, but I lost my temper.

*Regen nods. *'S okay. I have an older sister who'd do th' same thing. *The squirrel shrugs. *An old fire, maybe? That 'as a dead tree in it, burnt too.

Maybe it's the lake shining like fire and somehow the light...flashes onto the tree?Regen's idea sounds as right as any others we have had.It's turning out to be more confusing than all of them put together!**Ammy is frustrated over the riddle and squints at it as if searching for a secret in it.**

*Regen shrugs again, in an oh well manner, and goes to investigate the rack of weaponry.* That's all I have to say... *As he goes, there is a rumble of thunder in the distance. The squirrel glances at the door, then returns to poring over the weaponry.*

*Ashnel glances up and pulls a face.* Come on, we could be done b'fore the rain starts if we leave now. *He looks to Terragon for support, and she nods her agreement.* I think Engel's idea's the best we've had, and Ashnel's right - we should get going.

OOC: That was a hint......ah well.
BIC:
*Regen nods and steps away from the weapons, glancing again at the door as the wind starts to pick up.* *Wouldn't hurt to hurry, though.
