Creatures

As you walk you come to the center of the valley, a beautiful area densely forested around the bottoms of the cliffs with a central grassy area surrounding a clear, sapphire-blue lake. With a smile you breathe in deeply, relishing the fresh air before heading towards the lake.

"Hello!" a melodous young voice calls from behind you and you turn to see a young woman with curly red hair and blue eyes dressed in somewhat of a leather jumpsuit coming towards you alongside a purple-tinged white unicorn mare with rainbow mane and tail.

"Beautiful, isn't it? The dragons and their bonds come down here to bathe, but it's mostly our domain. Isn't that right Shy'ra?" the girl says, turning to the unicorn on the last part.

The unicorn mare nods her head,"Yes."

"Yours and Shy'Ra's?" you ask the girl.

The young woman shakes her head, her fiery curls waving around her face. "No! There are other creatures that live here. Don't worry, they're not hostile. At worst they might give you a fright, we'll take you to meet some of them if you like."

"..alright," you say, after a long pause and the two lead you along a path through the wooded area of the valley.

After a walk down the path you come to another lake, well...more like a pond alongside the valley wall with a breathtaking waterfall flowing down from the top lip of the valley. Just as beautiful, a lovely pegasus with coloration similar to the unicorn's.

The pretty winged equine seems to be staring into the pool of water at something or other. "Hello," you say, walking up to the pegasus. Shy'ra trots along beside you.

"Greetings," the pegasus responds.

"What are you looking at?" you ask, following the pegasus's gaze.

The equine lifts his head and tilts it to one side curiously. "Do you see that dark place down there along the side beneath the waterfall?" he questions.

You nod, there does seem to be a dark space down there. "I was just wondering what that might be. Anyway, I am Karilin and this is my domain in the forest. There are caves to the east and south along the valley walls, gryphons (or griffins) live there. I'm sure Shy'ra and Mayhi can show you where they live if you wish to meet them."

You nod and turn to the unicorn mare and the girl--Mayhi, evidently. Would you like them to take you to see the griffins?

Yes.
