The darkness has finally settled and in the soft gloom you begin to search for a place to spend the night. You intend to head for the forest close by that breaks up the wide open meadow but before you quite make it there something catches your eye. A glimmer of gold amidst the gray shadows of nightfall halts you in your tracks. You squint at it as it grows nearer and soon it begins to take shape.
     It is quite large though with immensely long legs that speak of traveling great distances in days to come. The creature gambles up to you good naturedly but halts a safe distance away and looks you over with clear intelligent eyes. Upon her head a long horn glows faintly against a shimmering golden coat. Then, stamping one white-hoofed foot she speaks.  

     "Hello," Her voice is soft, almost wispy in contrast to the solid brightness of her hide. There is a deep richness about it that speaks of old memories and new experiences. "I am Kabiy'celi. Who are you?"
      You introduce yourself but struggle with her name. She seems vaguely amused at this.
      "You may call me Gold Dust, if you like." She chuckles. "For that is what my name means in your language." Aptly named for her coat shines a bright golden yellow even in the dark.
      "Why are you out so late?" She asks. "It's dangerous in the meadows at night. Too open."
      "Why are you out so late?" You shoot back at her. She shifts awkwardly onto three feet and snorts. 
      "I forgot about the time." She admits, hanging her head. "But I'm on my way to the forest to take shelter right now." 
       "Really?" You ask. "Mind if I accompany you? I need shelter as well."
       "I know of a nice thicket no one is using at the moment." She replies. "I could drop you off if you'd like."
       "I would love to." You reply. And hearing this she starts off toward the forest.
       "Very well. Follow me please."
       She leads you to a sheltered area of the forest enclosed by a growth of small trees with strange soft leaves that pad the ground thickly. You lay down thankfully upon this thick pad and wish a farewell to Kabiy'celi who disappears quietly into the darkness of the forest.
