| You are walking one day through the woods when you see a strange purple and blue oval, standing tall to your right. You step up to examine it closer and it sucks you into it. You look around and notice it has taken you into another world so beautiful and vast, full of rolling hills and amazing creatures. One approaches you. "Welcome to Alazear, this is a part of the world called Garnathia. These hills is secluded from the main land Which is far across the sea. We are called ferilon. We love to run and play on our hills.Do let me be your guide. My name is Kuni." "O.K." you agree very interested in exploring this new place. You can feel the soft, cool breeze blowing through your hair as the friendly ferilon prances and skips ahead of you. You notice the creature looks like a ferret only it is grey with pink strips of plush fur. It seems to have exceptional speed. You break into a jog to keep up with your guide. The air smells sweet and full of flowers and fruits. "This place is a paradise, virtually untouched by man." You think to yourself. "Come on keep up, please. We don't get many visitors here so I'm sure the others would like to meet you. Quickly, come?!" Kuni tells you. You begin to run to keep up and the wind picks up blowing your hair and wistling in your ear as it gush around you. Now you can tell the flower scents you smell. They smell of roses, violets, lilac, daisies, bluebells, and bleeding hearts, pastures full of them. Kuni is leaping stride after stride ahead of you. She turns back to make sure you are still following and gives you a smile and looks forward agian. You feel so free running in the wind in the open, wild land of rolling hills. You think you might tumble or trip over these hills as you go down each one. Every now and then another ferilon looks to wave at you and Kuni. Kuni slows down a bit to wave back, signaling for you to be polite and wave back, these are friends. You follow suite and wave with a friendly smile. "Oh, how absolutely fabulous this land is and how wonderously sweet the smell of all the flowers in the air. I wish home could smell so sweet." You tell Kuni with the excitement of a little child. You start to wonder how much farther it is that this ferilon is taking you. You start to tire and your mouth is getting dry with thirst. Suddenly Kuni stops, her pink and grey fur all roughed up by the wind. "Look down at the foot of the hill is a lake. We can stop for a drink there, you look worn out from the run. Let's get a drink?" Kuni says pointed to a magestic lake with silver, sparkling water and the refelection of a sky like any other. You agree, " I am thirsty and you are a little fast for me, little one." Together you walk to the lake's edge and sit to take a drink of the warm/cool water. "Mmmm, this is clean and fresh like purified bottle water. What a relief." You tell Kuni after the first sip. Then you take a few more until you are full. Kuni finishes drinking and says, "Glad you like it. Nature is good to us here." Suddenly there is a strange growl coming from an azalea bush behind you. "Grrrrrrrrrr." the sound gets louder and it sounds as if more join in growling. The growls are low and cute as if they belong to cubs of some kind. You turn around to see if you can see what it is. Kuni just sniffs the air showing no fear. Then, Yes, it's litle ferilon cubs pouncing out at you. They bound at you with a cub's grace. You wonder if this is a game or are they mean. "Awww, aren't they cute. They don't mean you harm they just never seen anyone like you before. They just want to play and act tough. Don't worry about it you're a friend and guest here." "Children, mind your manners, that is a human he is our guest. Be nice and settle down now, dears." from behind them a graciuos elegant female ferilon walks up to the cubs and nugges them to get together and sit. "I'm sorry if they scared you. They don't mean to be so rude and bad, you know how babies can be." The female is red, grey, and dark brown with huge wings. One cub is a baby blue, one is a magenta color, and two are kind of grey. "darlin' come meet the guest here, hurry love!" The mother calls to another who isn't seen. From around the left side of the hill comes a beautiful baby blue ferilon with royal blue spots and bushy patches of a dark brown color. He slinks up to you with a proud air about him. and he walks up to you and sniffs your hand. His nose is cool and wet like a dog's nose. He licks your palm softly and gently with very little moistness. Then sits back and the cubs curl up around you while the magenta colored one hops up in your lap and curls up into a ball. "M y name is Winddrifter, this is my mate, Karrynn," he points to the winged female,"These are are young Clipper is the blue male, Jasmine is the magenta female, the grey one with spikes on his back is Mulligan, and the other is Ashley because she loves to chew on the bark of Ash trees. Jasmine is our dominant cub, she leads the others in play and frolicing. Mulligan is shy and sticks close to mom. Clipper is the hunter, he is always finding and chasing mice and small birds. Karrynn takes care of the cubs while I bring food home for the family. Welcome and we are glad you came stay with us and join us for diner. You too Kuni, you are welcome to join us for supper tonight. Here have seat over by our den." Winddrifter invites you pointing to a hole in the side of the hill. You follow the beautiful family over to the den where you all have a seat. Winddrifter brings out some meat and fruits. "Thank you for your kindness. I think I'll just have some fruits please." You tell Winddrifter, knowing the meat is not cooked and not wanting to harm the grass near their home to make a fire. He gives you some apples and oranges and passes food to the cubs, Kuni, and his mate. You sit together and eat enjoying the refreshing spring air. |
