You decide to take the path that will lead you to Aura. You are directed to a path behind you, and you shakily walk along the winding thing. You needlessly clutch the railings; unbeknownst to you, Amaryllis had set up an invisible barrier on either side of the path to keep explorers from falling.
Soon your reach another platform, boasting a worn area resembling a nest, some food and water, and a sign reading 'Aura.' You look around, confused, until the platform shakes. Startled, you whirl around, and see that an equine has landed on the platform near you.
The horse cocks its head, a light breeze ruffling its mane, tail, and feathered wings. Folding the big red appendages to its sides, it trots forward a few paces, and asks, "who're you?"
You blink, wondering how a horse can talk, but that's when you notice the horn on the creature's forhead. "I'm exploring Dracogrex," you explain. "Are you Aura?"
Aura nods her magnificent maned head. "I am she," she confirms. "I'm glad you decided to stop by the Sky Realm. It's a wonderful place here. You will enjoy yourself very much."
You nod. "Er," you begin, "not to be rude, but...what are you? A winged unicorn, a horned pegasus...?" You trail off, not sure of any other possibilities.
Aura laughs. "I am what is called an Avicorn," she explains, flicking her tail and shaking her mane. "Amaryllis was visiting Skyhaven to adopt when I followed her and nibbled on her fingers. I was younger then," she smiles. "But she is very good to all of us, and we are very happy here."
"I can see why you would be," you agree, gazing out at all the flying room.
"I'm sure you want to keep exploring," Aura says, "so I will let you. It was a pleasure to meet you."
"You, too," you reply. You say goodbye, and return to the signpost to keep exploring.
