I need an update!!

(ooc: there was one two posts above! be back later)

IC:

Arcturus saw Terran and Sapphire moving off suddenly ahead and when he looked, he saw the shadow also. He knew that both his companions will be able to handle whatever that shadow was, but he was ready to help them so he also moved in behind them towards the shadow.
 
"Everyone!" Terran called. "Don't attack it yet. We don't know if it's harmful. Saphire can you circle around it? Arcturus stay in front while I circle around the other way." Terran said moving around the creature hoping it would attack them.
 
Saphire quickly went aroun the shadow and saw that it was almost just like the one that had attacked Destiny and the one she saw in her dream! She didn't want to draw attention to herself but she wanted it's attention to be away from the others. So she yelled "If you can hear me I'm over here!" The shadow turned twords he and she started running back down the tunnel. She looked back and saw it following her so she ran faster glad that she was taking away from everyone and hoping that she could get out into the open so she would have more room to fight.
 
Acela turned around and saw what was happening, she did a movement with her hands, which made it so Saphire could see perfectly, what was around her. Acela then ran towards the others.
 
When everything around Saphire became clear she mentaly thanked Acela and kept running. She thought she heard the others behind her and yelled over her shoulder "Go back and get the flower I will be fine! Think of Destiny!!" and she turned a corner hoping her friends had heard her.
 
"Alright, let's go, Rexina, can you go with Saphire to see she can get the thing, gone?"she asked. "The rest of us will go find the flower,"she said.
 
Leila was all ready following Sapphire when Acela suggested it. The pup in her arms was given over to Acela, Leila knew she'd take care of it. When Leila caught up with Sapphire she saw that the Shadow creature was standing beofre her, about to suck her in. Leila threw a plasma blast at the creature to fend it off.

"Over here!" she called to Sapphire.
 
Arcturus was impatient to get to the flower, but he was able to control his impulses this time and just concentrated in following Acela.
 
Acela stopped, "Arcturus, be very careful the flower is right there," she said pointing one single flower in a group of different flowers.
 
"There was no need for Acela to point to the flower. Arcturus would have recognized it at once. It shone with a brilliance he had only seen on bright sunny days when there was not a cloud in the sky. Its Daisy-like petals were of a shade of yellow he had never imagined existed, and they sparkled as if millions of tiny stars were burning on each petal. But more than just it's brilliance, this flower had something he had seen before, a fire, a power, and a beauty, all combined into one. And he tried to remember where he had seen that.

Slowly he walked towards it while pulling the glass vial from his vest pocket. He wondered if he would be able to hold the flower.

He remembered that King Mizar said that only true love would be able to handle it and he stopped and asked himself whether he truly loved Destiny or whether he just thought he loved her.
 
"Destiny!" He thought. "That's where I saw it before!. The light in the fire flower is the same kind of light I saw on Destiny that first day at the Restaurant."

And with that thought, he knew he would be able to handle the flower. He approached it and knelt down to reach the flower. He gently caressed one of the petals. A warm tingling raced up his arm and warmed him all over. He held one petal between his index finger and thumb and wondered if he was allowed to do this.

Not waiting any longer, he pulled the petal. It came off very easily and he immediately put the stem inside the vial. The stem dripped a yellow-orange substance that had the consistency and the look of melted gold.
 
Arcturus wanted to leave also, but he wanted to make sure he had enough elixir. The vial was almost full and the petal was still bleeding this liquid gold. When the vial could not hold any more elixir, Arcturus pulled the petal out and it dripped a couple of drops on the ground, then the flow stopped.

Arcturus did not know what to do with the petal, and he did not want to just throw it on the ground. It looked too precious for that. But he didn't have to do anything. The petal, without any noise, or warning, or feeling, suddenly dissipated into a cloud of sparkling dust that covered Arcturus' hand.

The dust cloud slowly disappeared and the place looked as it was when they go there. Arcturus closed the vial and said to the others:

"Let's go."

He began to walk away from the flower and had taken a few steps when he turned around. To his amazement, he saw that two more shinny flowers were growing on the ground and in the very spots where the two drops of elixir had fallen. He had no doubt now that this elixir will heal Destiny.
