You continue on into the area of CloverFlower Fields known as The Bluffs.

The area is rocky, bleak, dark. There are no plants growing here. Jagged slabs of stone reach for the gray sky, disappearing into the mist that has risen thickly in the air. Surely no members of Minty's CloverFlower herd live here.

However, you suddenly catch sight of something on a nearby tall rock face. A small hole has apparently been carved into the stone, and through it glows a soft golden light. You venture near. The aperature is, in fact, a window. And next to it you see that a doorway has also been carved. It is blocked by a locked wooden door. Upon closer inspection, you realize that similar windows dot the entire face of the huge rock. Apparently, a castle of sorts has been hollowed from the stone itself. Intrigued, you decide to knock on the door and see who lives here.

PumpkinImmediately, the door swings open, and you are met by a little green baby pony with a pumpkin symbol. "Hi!" she squeals, rearing up in excitement. "I'm Pumpkin! Who're you? Are you a visitor? Oh wow, we don't usually have many visitors around here! Oh my gosh!" She twirls in a circle. "Most ponies are just too afraid to come to The Bluffs!"

Then Pumpkin's celebration is cut short by a voice calling from nearby. "Pumpkin? What's going on?" You try to peek past the baby into the castle, but all you can see are shadows and a few stone walls.

Pumpkin stops and looks back. "It's all right, Mama! We have visitors!"

Behold, the NightMare "So we do." A thin lavender pony that looks rather like a Sweetheart Sister steps from behind the door. She has a flowing, deep purple mane, and her symbols are flying bats. Most unusual of all, dragon-like wings grow from her back. They fold and unfold gracefully as she moves.

"Greetings, Visitor," she says softly. "I am Behold, the NightMare. You've already met my foal, Pumpkin." She nods toward the grinning orange baby, and then turns back to you. "You have found your way to the Kingdom of Mist at the center of The Bluffs. Few humans or ponies dare to venture this far, but we're really quite happy to have visitors. It gets a bit lonely out here sometimes.

"You see, The Kingdom of Mist is the home of the Not-Quite-MLPs. As I'm sure you know, the popularity of My Little Ponies inspired entire collections of other toy horses. These ponies are commonly known as fakies, and are looked down upon by many ponies and MLP collectors. Minty, however, welcomes them to CloverFlower Fields.

"Unfortunately, though, even in the friendly environment of The Fields, most fakies just don't feel they fit in. So they come here, to the Kingdom of Mist, and I always welcome them."

Suddenly, Behold smiles. "The Not-Quite-Ponies are quite shy, but you seem like a friendly guest. Would you like to meet them?" When you nod, she exclaims, "Smashing! Pumpkin, please take our new friend on a tour of the castle. Be sure everyone is introduced!"
