Epona was in view when the guardens surrounded Tash and sreamed that eirie scream.

Tash's ears began to sting and the guardians screamed he fell to a laying position.

Epona turned and saw them attacking tash. "HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" the guardians looked at Epona and then feld into the fog. Epona ran over to tash. "are you ok? im so sorry about that..." one of the guardians peeked out of the fog. Epona growled at it and it went back in.

Tash was now half-deaf. A terrible ringing filled his head, which hurt immensely.

"come on tash, stay with me!" A beautiful human Being rose from the lake... it was a woman.. skin slightly blueish.. "the lady of the lake...." Epona steped back.the lady of the lake knelt down next to Tash and kissed him on he mouth. Epona wanted to explod with anger! how dare this filthy human kiss her mate! an on the mouth to! but the lady turned the water and flowed back into the lake. Tash was healed!!!!

The ringing was abolished, and his head stopped hurting Tash looked around, seeing the lady disappear into the water. He cocked his head.

Epona ran up to Him and nuzzled him. "are you ok?'

Tash was relieved to hear Epona's voice. "I'm fine."

Epona waged her tail as a sign of happyness.

Tash looked around as the mist began to clear. He could see the oasis clearer now; sparkling blue rocks stuck from the floor, small brooks of clear blue water worked its way across the cave floor.

"lets just go home. the guardains know your friend now, and i think we should just go....im kinda nevous for some reason..." Epona looked down. her trip had been a disaster... she thought that they should just return to the den...

Tash nodded. "But," he said, "how do we get back up?"

"that pond is like the thin point of an hourglass. the upper side is the place we came from, this is the lower side. we are the sand. when we came though, we fliped the hour glass so we came here. all we have to do is what we did to come here. flip the hourglass. but there is another way for those who like adventures. but lets just do it the simple way this time." Epona plunged into the lake and started to swim to the little pond.
