Varian Glade

Still the path continues on. At one point, the trees on either side diverge to reveal a glade, quite close. You decide to investigate, and step off the path to wander in.

The glade is peaceful and quiet, if a bit hot with the sun bearing down overhead. At least, it's peaceful and quiet until a red & white-maned, blue appaloosa stallion of some sort comes barreling through, then slides to a stop in front of you.
"Yesss!" he cries. "My best time yet!"
And then he notices your presence.
"Oh, Alli, traveler. I'm Denia'caito, Fyre Mist, as my mother named me. Just Denia'."
He bows to you, and then eyes you curiously.
"You wouldn't happen to have a watch, would you?"
You nod and pull out the stopwatch you got from Tobain, back in Sandshores. Denia' grins.
"Great!! Will you time me? I'm going to run from here to Luka's and back. My best time is one minute, thirty-two seconds."
You agree, and he gets ready.
"GO!"
Denia' takes off and you click the stopwatch. He returns in exactly one minute and twenty-five seconds.
"Yahoo!" she whinnies, rearing up. "I SHATTERED my own best time! Thanks, traveler."
He noses around in some of the longer grass, then pulls up an apple, clenched by the stem in his teeth. He places it in your hands.
"You can have this. Thanks again!!"
And he darts off again, probably running another lap. You remember belatedly you wanted to ask him who Luka was, but Denia'caito is long gone.

So you have two choices: the way you came and the way Denia' ran. You figure that's the direction Luka is in...
