Akiha was beginning to get a little bored again with her leaping.  She looked closely through the grass for anything interesting.  She cought a glimpse of something shiny.

[Remedy]

Akiha hopped down and poked at it.  It seemed to be a silver
rock!  It was shiny and grey, anyway, which to her meant it was silver.

[Remedy]

Akiha wished she could take it home, but it was much to big for her to carry.  Plus, she didn't have hands!  She looked at the rock some more, the climbed back up a flower.

[Remedy]

Akiha continued with her journey through the forest, hopping from flower to flower again and looking for new things to do.  She looked up to the trees which now were blocking out the sun but let some light through with their transparent leaves.   She sihed, wondering if she's be able to find her way out of here...

[Remedy]

Akiha continued hopping along, lonliness creeping back in on her.  What if she never found her way out of here?  What if she wilted here?  What if she were doomed to this life to never return to her one true love?!!!!

[Remedy]

Akiha tried to calm herself down.  She felt lightheaded.  She sat down on the middle of a flower and took a couple large deep breaths.  In... Out... In... Out.... In... Out...

[Remedy]

Akiha was asleep before she knew it.  She hadn't meant for this to happen, but meditating was so relaxing... She was having a terrible dream, though.

[Remedy]

Akiha's dream went somehing like this: She feel asleep on the job, and was unable to warn the others of a big raid coming to attack the Village.  Chris was there, shaking her and yelling... She couldn't make out what he was saying, though... She slipped off her branch and fell into the chaos, and was thrashed about...

[Remedy]

Akiha opened her eyes in terror.  She was being thrashed about!  Along with thosands of other leaves, she was being tossled and thrown around by a large storm!  She couldn't see anything through the heavy rain, and she was scared.  She clung to the first thing she could wrap herself around- an autumn leaf that reminded her of Chris.

[Remedy]

Akiha cried and clung to this leaf as she was tossled about by the wind and rain.  It was terrible- much worse than being tossled by the wind like she had before.  She was afraid, and she didn't know what to do!

[Remedy]

Akiha survived he storm.  When everything died down, she lay in a pile of soaking wet leaves.  She shakily got up and dug her way out, still half wraped around the other leaf.

[Remedy]

When Akiha finally got out, she fell to the ground and took a big breath of air.  That storm was the most terrifying experience that she had ever had, and she wasn't planning on reliving it.  Her eyes filled with tears and she said sadly, "I wanna go home!"

[Remedy]

Akiha let go of the leaf she had been clinging to.  She looked herself over to make sure she was okay, then looked at the leaf.  They were both fine, just a few scratches here and here.

[Remedy]

Akiha trembled as she took her first get steps.  She fell back and started crying.  Not because she was hurt, but because she was lonley and scared.

[Remedy]

Akiha got back up and took a few steps forward.  She looked around her.  There were leaves and flowers scattered everywhere, and all the grass was flat against the ground.  A smaller tree had been completely uprooted and thrown ten feet away from where it had originally stood.
