If you're new here, start at the first labyrinth post. All the labyrinth posts live on the Power of Claw page.
"V-E-I-L" it is. Great job, Thimble/Jaaws! The combination lock clicks into place, and the door swings open, revealing a damp, gnarly room with rock formations that look almost like trees. I managed to get this (pretty good, I must say) photo of the next door using a bright flash:
I almost didn't see the riddle this time. It was carved into the ground and covered in dirt. No decoding this time, and a six-letter answer:
Any ideas, crew?
My battery is low today--that's what happens when you have a solar phone and so little sunlight--so I need to keep things short. The badger is chatting up a storm, with the usual Seventeen will leaves and nine left overs, but also an updated list of letters:
-J-M-E-M-I-A-K-Z-G-E-F-H-P-Q-X-S-B-Y-W-R-C-T-O-N-U-V-D-L-
The general mood is now more antsy than happy. Little Crow is the only one who seems genuinely happy most of the time, although Who keeps beating him in their races. B.I.G. remains quiet and so does the humming light. OK, I'm at 1% now, I better shut down. More tomorrow.

The answer is palmae! Yes, that is a word.

HUMAN, PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR AX. I'LL STAND MY ROOTED GROUND. IF YOU CAN SEE ME FOR THE TREES THEN PLEASE DON'T CUT ME DOWN. wHAT AM I?
I would think it was woods or trees, but since it is six letters, I'll say forest.
Meya says 'pano'. Yes, I do play the piano.

If it were 7, I'd say coconut.
(June 5, 2016 - 5:51 pm)
Wait! It looks like a banana tree! The answer is "Banana"!!!!!

Forest. That seems right.
I step out of the doorway to see a crumbling staircase and neatly kept narrow stone walls. The light from the last cave is flowing in, allowing my night vison to see even the shadows in the top corrners of the cave. Though I feel uncomfortable walking down the stairs, I remind myself why I'm down here. For Eli and the missing members of the original team. Also, maybe to find the source of the sense of another power. Could it be...someone created a side-affected power again? Maybe, but there's always that thought....
Claaws stepped on the last stair to see a rusted green door with silvery metal clasps. Why wasn't it open? Maybe it shut back up? I pressed the door lightly and it swung open to reveal a cave of darkness. The light from the cave with the buzzing light and the lanterns further back make a little impression on this darkness. Claaws shivered. The power seemed stronger here. Though, she was the Power of Darkness. This was home. With that thought she felt little comfort. Though through her night vision she saw a dark Rocky cave, and even some of her night vision couldn't pick apart the steps a few feet in front of her. She shook herself, fluffed up her fur, and took a step inside.

I moan slightly, opening my eyes.
"EeEhEeHeE, yOuR aWaKe! TiMe To PlAy WiTh My ToY..." I sigh. I'm tired of being picked up in the air, tossed around, and my emotions-how can it make me so angry, and so scared? This monster controlls people's emotions for crying out loud!
"SoMeOnE's CoMiNg, BeTtEr MoVe To A dIfFeReNt SpOt..." It muses. I can hear little noises and-oh great, Icicle's crying again. That human is such a toy. Seriously. Stupid scum. I feel myself being picked up, and moving...
I've been in here forever. There isn't much of...a future for me if this thing keeps us forever, and what happens when he gets tired of his 'toys'?
So, what the heck, I decide to do something heroic.
I raise my claw and slash at whatever's holding me. It drops me instantly. "OuChIe!" I grin, my fox lips pursed in a smile. "You say I have an affinity to the Power Of Claw? Well you can feel it."
It knocks me out, but not before I can get another blow in.
One single shriek echoes through the tunnels. "EeEeeee!"
~Eli <3
P.S: Keira~Captcha says hack. What is there to hack, Keira? We're not being held captive by B.I.G. This is a different monster.
Or did you mean how I hacked into the monster with my claws?
mmhm
Yeah, that was cool, wasn't it? I guess my claws really are that strong!

"Eli, what did you do?!" I whisper.
A cold hand slides over my heart. It tells me that hope is a myth, a lie, and that the darkness will win..
She chitters a reply. It takes me a bit to translate. The message was "Shut up scum." She chitters more. It's: "if you mud-" wait no, that's must. "If you must know, I slashed it twice with my claws."
She then chitters more. "That same fate will befall you." I ignore her. "And someday the world will know my name-Eliyana Fur Pawprint!!!"
I go back to being slumped down, despair written in my heart.
That monster is still alive.

I don't know, maybe it's forest? I have no clue.
(June 6, 2016 - 9:31 am)
Did anybody else see Eli's comment on the last Labyrinth post? I'll copy it below for those who didn't.
Ugh...
My head...
I sit up. Ever since that THING that I can't see (I can't see ANYTHING!) knocked me out AGAIN, I've been so tired...
And for the first time, I feel weak. But determination, it comes to me instantly. "EeEhEeHeE, yOu'Re AwAkE..." It says. "Yes. I am." "GoOd. LeT mE tRy ThIs On YoU..." "Try wh-" I feel like a puppet. He's moving me around as if strings are attached to me... and I can't speak. "GoOd, It WoRkS...tImE tO sEe ThAt CrOw..."
I'm released from those...strings of possession. "Crow? What Crow?" I ask. Where am I?
For the first time, I felt fear. I felt controlled. I felt sadness like any other-even worse than when my family died.
I knew something was wrong with little crow! The question is what.

I step into the cave, my claws unshealded and making scraping noises on the rough dirt. A few moments into the dark cave i heard another scraping noise. I paused, one paw raised, and listened. It almost sounded like voices, and not too far away. Probably even in this cave. And one almost sound like....Eli! I purr excitedly and started pounding foward. "Eil! Eli im coming!" There were more voices, some rushed footsteps, then everything was quite. Claaws kept bounding fowards, only to slow to a stop as she faced the gate. Like the last one it was closed. Claaws mummbled angerly, and gingerly proded the gate. It didnt budge. She pushed with all her strength (which being a Power is alot.) and it didn't even squeek. She tried opening it from the other side, poking her paw under the gate, only to be shocked and burned. She mummbled angerly, looking for the code. After a few minutes of surching, she found what used to be the code and the riddle. Shattered. Beyond use. Cealani flapped his wings nervously behind her. Claaws shook her head. "There must be another way. There hast to be."
My dragon pirate capacha says noon. No, its not quite noon yet. Oh, are you finally telling me your name? Noon the pirate dragon capacha? Actually, thats really cute!

MoonRacer followed Claaws about three wingspans away, keeping an eye out for any thing suspicious. She pulled out the globe and whispered Eli into it. Nothing, as usual. But the sphere was shining like crazy, almost half-blinding her. Excited,MoonRacer clutched the sphere in her talons and hurried to catch up with Claaws. There was only one reason why the sphere could be glimmering like that- Eli must be close.
MoonRacer decided to Probe for Eli. Probing, like most dragon magic, has positive and negative effects. When probing, dragons retreat into their mind and sheach for other beings, regardless of where. When probing, a dragon cannot feel anything happening to their body-meaning anything can happen during that time. A stronger entity might also try and control the dragons body by taking over their mind with force. Exactly what happened.
MoonRacer suceded into mind, spreading her thoughts out and concentrating on finding Eli. She could feel the presence of Claaws and Cealani walking. Suddenly, MoonRacer was jolted back into the tunnels by a powerful force- one that was trying to take over her mind. "OhEEeee!AnOthEr ToY!" it shrieks. Stunned, MoonRacer let her defenses fall, for just a minute. The thing made MoonRacer pull her arm back, almost hurling the orb. "No!" she yelped.
THe extra burst of panic from her startled the creature, letting its grasp slip for a minute. Winded, MoonRacer let the thing pull itself from her mind and curled up on the tunnel floor, gasping for air. As soon as she got her breath back, MoonRacer mused over what happened for a moment. The thing wanted me, she realized. I sensed Eli also-he must be in control of the creature! MoonRacer dusted herself off and made a silent vov: Whatever or whoever you are, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and get Eli back. The next time it tried something like that, MoonRacer would be ready.

It's definitely forest. Have you ever heard that silly fairy tale where this country bumpkin decides to visit a town, but when he gets there he comments "I can't see the town for all the houses!"? Well this is the same concept. You can't see the forest for all the trees.
(June 6, 2016 - 12:15 pm)
You're right! Though I heard it in Yankee Doodle.
