You nod in agreement with Vaprrenon, watching the scared Allonian creature quivering not far away from the two of you. You feel bad for giving the antelope such a fright; you had not meant it, but she had startled you something awful! You glance over to see Vaprrenon already wandering off again. You sigh and trudge on after her into the hills ahead. You are glad that this little trek is nowhere near as long as the last one; it seems you reach the area in no time. You look around, a bit surprised to see how suddenly the trees thinned for the small clearing. As you are glancing about the place, you hear a tiny rustling through the short grasses. You spin around, and see nothing at all behind you. You hear the noise again and look down, surprised to see another bunny, this one white like the antelope you had just encountered. You thought you were through meeting bunnies. "Ah, that there's little Hopscotch!" Vaprrenon says happily, looking over to the two of you together. "She loves people, very curious. Feel free to pick her up if you'd like; she's perfectly happy with it!" She smiles. "And if Hopscotch is here, then that means she's around here somewhere....ah-ha!" She points to a tree, smiling. "See? There she is, Melody!" You follow where your guide is pointing, and soon spot a beautiful, bright orange and yellow bird perched in a tree nearby. You smile as you try to get a good look at the cyber pet. It really is a pretty bird. You glance down as you hear Hopscotch at your feet. She turns, hopping away toward the tree where Melody is currently perched. "Those two are a perfect team, really, always found together! If you see one of them, the other cannot be far behind," your ishna guide says with a laugh. "It's adorable, really. And more often than not, the two are somewhere close by to Terri, wherever she might be. Maybe we'll run into her sometime soon. She tends to like this area." You frown, a bit confused about what Vaprrenon is talking about. Does that mean that soon you will be encountering another Allonian creature from The Silver Unicorn? If so, you assume that its name will be Terri, at least. You wonder if it will be another bunny or a second bird, perhaps one with different colors even. |

You are soon proved wrong, however. Terri is neither a bunny nor a bird at all. At least, you assume the large grey and white cat up ahead is the Terri creature your guide spoke about. You blink, watching as Vaprrenon skips over to the huge feline, hugging her around the neck. Personally, you are not sure how safe that looks. One of that cat's paws can cover your entire face! Vaprrenon looks over at you with a smile and waves enthusiastically to call you over to her and her pet. "Hey! Come meet Terri! I told you she would be somewhere around here! She tends to protect Hopscotch and Melody most of the time, so I knew she might be close by. I just didn't expect her to come waltzing out like she did," she laughs. You take a deep, nervous breath before starting forward to go over and meet the large cat with your guide. You hope she is as friendly with visitors as she is with Vaprrenon. Otherwise, you are certainly taking your life in your hands. As you approach, you realize that Terri and your guide are right in front of a small pond you had not seen through the grasses before. The blue waters are beautiful, and reflect nicely off of the feline's coat. You sit with your ishna guide quietly for a moment before hesitantly reaching out to pet Terri's large head. You are surprised, then instantly relieved, when the Allonian cyber pet lifts her head to meet your hand, rubbing against it happily, loving the attention. Apparently, she is much tamer than she looks, and very friendly to boot! You smile, petting the happily feline for a little while, Terri looking very content with all of the attention she is getting from you. You wonder how often visitors come through this portal to meet her and her Allonian companions, because she certainly seems desperate for attention. Vaprrenon smiles, watching you and her pet get along so well. She turns away from the two of you, dangling her furred, paw-like feet in the pond's clear waters, swinging her legs back and forth to amuse herself. "Hey!" she calls to you after a short while. "Come here, look!" You glance up to see what she's talking about as she babbles. "I was wondering if he would come up for a visit or not. Come see little Alenatia!" You frown, not really knowing she she is talking about. You leave Terri's side to wander over to your guide, peering down into the blue waters to see what she wants you to see. You look down to see a large, pink-and-purple showy fish looking back up at the two of you through the water. Vaprrenon smiles. "This is Alenatia, a sweet little fish I found in my travels in Allonia. Isn't he beautiful?" she asks, looking over to you. You nod, trying to get a good look at the animal before he suddenly turns and darts back toward the center of the pond and out of sight. You sigh, wishing you had spent more time with him. |
