You follow the two pixies into
a beautiful glade in the heart of the forest. Butterflies, bees,
birds, and other small creatures fly through the air. The scent
of green grass surrounds you, filling your lungs and clearing your mind.
'This,' Kalika informs you, 'is
home to most of the smaller inhabitants of this sanctuary. There
is also a much larger glade in the heart of the forest, which has a lake
and waterfall. The unicorns live over in that area. At this
point it is still closed to the public, but hopefully not for long!'
Rikale smiles at your obvious
enjoyment of the glade. 'The glade is larger than what you see
here. Feel free to wander around and meet the creatures dwelling
here. They are a bit shy, so you may have to show some patience,
but they do open up once they feel comfortable with a person.'
You begin to walk around the
glade, admiring the nature around you. The grass feels soft;
very soft. You sit down and relax, taking in great breaths of the
sweet air. A giggle by your ear brings you back from your reverie.
You peer at your shoulder and find a small, winged creature perched
there. It looks like a little dragon!
The tiny creature giggles again
and takes off, hovering in front of your nose. 'A human! It's
about time you noticed me! I'm Brill, a fairy dragonmoth!' He
bows to you, an extremely strange experience to witness. You
begin to wonder how exactly a flying creature can bow, and decide it's
best not to think about. Brill circles your head, excited as
can be. 'I'm going to tell Malika! A human!' You
jump to your feet as the dragonmoth zips north.
