[u][b]Thaum: Outside the Azure Sea (Group A)[/u][/b]

They were going in circles. Xan stared at the map in her hands before chuckling at Don and Estelle. 

"Don't worry about it Dylan, we have a map." She looked at Estelle then turned to Don. "It says that," she gave them both a teasing smile before going quiet. It made things a lot more dramatic. "Well, the map says that neither of you are correct." The girl peered at it for a bit longer before nodding at her companion. "If we keep heading north we should reach a giant domed garden." She held out the map so everyone would be able to take a good look at it. It was a beautiful day and the thought of relaxing in such a pretty garden sounded wonderful.

They walked on and Lisette seemed very enthusiastic.

"Bugs?" Xan turned to look at the girl. "Hmm, they're alright. I'm not a big fan of wildlife though I have to admit Kapi and Isaac are pretty cute." Isaac was still clinging onto Kapi's back. The hedgehog had taken a liking to the Capybara.

"What about you?" Xan returned the question then pointed to set of stairs. "Guys," she called out to Don and Dylan. "It's up there."

Thaum's streets were bustling with life. People shuffled past and vendors yelled cheerily in an attempt to get people's attention. "If any of you guys want souvenirs, there's no time like the present." Xan nodded towards all the stalls before a giant dome caught her eyes. She looked at the map again, it was the garden. "Alright, we found our destination." The Pride lingered in the square for a short while before they made their way towards Thaum's garden.

Upon arrival they were stopped by a security guard. He tipped his hat at them and grinned. "G'day to all of you. Welcome to the garden. I'm sorry, but I'll be confiscating any weapons you might have with you. Swords, knives, hammers, the works. We're home to a lot of endangered wildlife and we want to make sure we keep them the safe." He waited then allowed the Pride to enter.

There was a small lobby with chairs, coffee tables and a vending machine. On the other side of the door was the garden but to be honest, it looked more like a miniature forest. There were all kinds of trees and flowers and the smell of honey and grass wafted into the room.

[u][b]Thaum: Garden (Group A)[/u][/b]

"Oh, hello. You made it just in time. We only had room for a few more contestants." 

"Contestants?" Xan arched an eyebrow then turned to face the others.

The man in front of them was tall with soft features and a calm smile. He had several bug catching nets in cradled in his arms. "Uh-huh, today's the yearly bug catching competition. The group that catches the largest bug wins." He tossed a net to each of the Pride members. "We were just about to start, but you all made it." His eyes landed on both Isaac and Kapi and he laughed. "I think those two will like it here. Well, you're all set. Remember, don't hurt any of the wildlife." Before they could protest they were ushered out the door and sent into the garden.

The man with the name tag Thomas followed after them. He had a net in hand too. "I'll be checking in on the groups from time to time." He announced before turning to greet the other people who were gathered inside the garden.

"Erm, I guess we're competing now?" Xan looked at the others then at the net in her hand. "Where do we go first?"
