As you come over the hill's crest you see another strangely colored painted equine frolicking about the field, neighing quite happily. A small frog sitting nearby is watching the cyberpet curiously, careful not to be trampled by the much larger creature. Vaprrenon tuggs at your arm eagerly and skips down the hill, running over to the happy little equine gleefully.

You trot down after her, careful as to where you step with each footfall. You soon find yourself approaching the strange pair, wondering how in the world party favors have been littered all about the area. Too bad you missed whtever party had gone on; from the look of this mess, it was certainly an event to see! When had that happened, and had all the guests gone home by now? You shake your head, as if to clear it from your strange notions, and offer a smile to the still happy and energetic looking horse.

Vaprrenon puts a hand around the horse's neck. "This is Party Favor. She was a New Years gift to the CCF for the 2001 ceebration!" She giggles and kisses the horse's great cheek, the thing prancing in place all proud of himself. "Silly boy!" she laughs at him.

You smile at the horse's antics as well, but are interrupted by a dark shape moving closer to you which you catch out of the corner of your eye. You glance over and blink as a maneless black steed calmly wanders over to you, sniffing at your clothes once reaching you, and then turns away to go to his adopter.

Vaprrenon heads over to him and throws her arms around his neck, laughing. She glances over his broad shoulder at you with a grin. "Meet Zodiacla," she introduces proudly, turning the boy around to face you again. "He was a gift from Tlouey to all of the CCF members back in 2002 to celebrate the Chinese Zodiac's year of the horse. She pats the top of his head. "Come on over and say hello to him!"

You hesitantly walk over, reaching out and letting Zodiacla sniff at your hand. He snorts and lowers his head slightly, allowing you to brush your hand over his neck. You smiled, feeling proud of yourself that he let you pet him. Vaprrenon smiles at the little occurance happily.

"Usually doesn't take to people all that quick, he doesn't. You're a lucky one, you know." She pats the dark horse's shoulder and turns her attention to Party Favor, who is near to her, nudging her back for attention he so desperately wants.

You decide then, glancing between the two horses, that you like these fine, magestic creatures. They are smart, graceful...and somehow alluring. Especially this Zodiacla without even a mane of any sort. He was still quite handsome, if not just the wee bit strange because of it. You smile to yourself and rub the black horse's neck again happily.
