You decide that you would like to meet Cyndrys. You set off along a winding trail, which soon leads to a depression in the land. Looking cautiously around, you can see only stones, covered in glowing embers and crackling flames. Then, at a second glance, you spot an equine creature lounging among some nearby rocks.
The white creature looks up at you with piercing red eyes. "Greetings," she calls, trotting forward to inspect you more closely. "Why are you here?"
"Oh, touring," you say, wondering exactly what Cyndrys is. She looks like a unicorn, but yet she's different....
"I see," Cyndrys said, circling around you as she speaks. "I am Cyndrys, as you seem to have figured out. I am not a unicorn, but a crystacorn." At your confused expression, she elaborates. "Crystacorns are native to Trialle. We are the ancestors of unicorns. We were, like our cousins, hunted into near extinction for our horns, which have unsurpassed magical powers for healing. So, we remaining crystacorn went into hiding.
"Amaryllis came to us on the Skyhaven Adoption Hunt," the magnificent creature continues. "Our mother was not well -- her horn had been stolen -- and Amaryllis saved her life. Gaining her trust, my mother allowed my sisters and I to return to Dracogrex with her, where we would be safe from the poachers."
"That's a great story," you comment as Cyndrys finishes. "Are you happy in the Fire Realm?"
"Yes, quite!" Cyndrys replies, her firey eyes twinkling. "I'm at home here as much as I was in the forests of Trialle."
"That's wonderful," you say, smiling.
Yawning, Cyndrys excuses herself. "I was about to lie down for a nap when you dropped by, so I'd best be going. Good to meet you, traveler."
Nodding your respects, you return to the signpost to continue your explorations.
