\ You blink and shrug, figuring why not? The ishna seems to see the decision in your eyes and grabs your hand before you can have a second though, jumping into the portal and pulling you along for the ride.

You let out a shout, feeling a rush, and a feeling of floating. For a moment you swear you are underwater, but that thought is diminished when you realise you are breathing. Soon you find yourself shoved into another reality, a large field with a barn nearby. You feel ehavy a moment, and sway a bit, almost loosing your balance before Vaprrenon helps steady you. She smiles, almost laughing at the look on your face.

You shake your head, trying to get rid of the woosy feeling you have, and blink to see a red face staring at you. Nearby is another, this one green. You stare at the two equines, glancing between their matching colors, strange horns, and decorations. Vaprrenon smiles, crossing between the three of you to pick up a bag of feed.

"These two are Lessie and Norda," she introduces. "They were gifts to the CCF members way back in 2001. They're the best of friends and usually go everywhere together." She balances the feed bag on her shoulder. "Come on, more to see!" she calls happily, starting off. You blink and, glancing to the two equine creatures for a moment, turn and hurry after your guide before she gets too far ahead of you.

The two of you walk for a few minutes, Vaprrenon heading toward the barn up ahead. You glance around the place, watching a few birds fly overhead and squirrels run around along the ground. You hear a whinney and snap back to attention. You spot another unicorn-seeming creature trotting over to you, this one pure white.

Vaprrenon smiles, petting the animal's neck as she passes, the new addition to your group walking alongside you, holding his head high, as if trying to show off. "That there's Suna'iltis. He was another CCF gift. I think he is a bit older than the incredible duo you met before, but I can't be sure."

You smile to the new horselike animal, petting its mane, the cyberpet seeming to like the attention. You look up as you and Vaprrenon reach the barn. Suna'iltis shakes his head, turning and trotting off, leaving you confused. "He's just got over a cold," Vaprrenon explains, heading inside. "After being cooped up in here for that long he'd rather stay outside for now. It's nothing personal."

You blink, but let the matter drop. After all, you wouldn't want to be cooped up somewhere either after finally tasting a bit of freedom. You shrug and turn to head in after Vaprrenon, following her over as she sets the bag down and opens it.

Something nudges your shoulder from behind, making you jump a bit. You frown, blinking as you turn around to see another equine looking curiously up at you. She nudges your shoulder again, as if wanting something. You step back, not knowing quite what to do. The unicorn steps from its stall, pawing the ground a bit impatiently.

"Oh, Trisha, calm down!" Vaprrenon says with a sigh, heading over. She half-shoves the horselike creature out of the way, as Trisha is blocking the only way into her stall. Your guide goes and dishes out her feed and moves out of the way as the now happy pet prances over to eat. Vaprrenon just rolls her eyes.

"Sorry about that," she says with a laugh, going back out to join you. She sets her things off to the side, finished with ehr work for now. She stands with you, watching the happy cyberpet eat, her tail swishing lightly. "Trisha's a little food-hog, and she isn't the most patient one of the lot either. Those two traits together don't add up very nicely, I'm afraid."

She sighs, folding her arms over her chest. "She's my little baby, though..a custom gift from Ryuno Kokoro on The Crystal Palace a while back." She smiles. "Maybe when she's done eating you can finally get your hand in there to pet her without fear of her biting it off!"
