You feel somewhat pulled into the rainbow-rippling portal, tumbling in space for a moment before falling to the ground. You rock back on your heels, almost falling again as you look around at what somehow appears to be a backward of some kind, as nearby there is a small farmhouse nearby and what looks to be a feild of corn off in the distance.

You hear a soft noise, and turn about to see what it was. You blink in surprise, finding a red-and-yellow dog sniffing at you from behind. Seeing he had gotten your attention, the dog wags its curled tail, refolding its matching birdlike wings over its back. You blink, staring at the dog. At least he seems fairly friendly, if nothing else, right?

"I see you've met Harvard," you hear from nearby. You look up to watch as another canine, this one rust-colored with bat-like wings flies down and lands near you. You blink, watching it shift forms into someone you recognize: Vaprrenon. You did not know that she could do something like that. She seems to notice your confusion and shrugs. "I'm a shapeshifter," she says simply, not seeing what the big deal is for you.

Your ishna guide turns to Harvard, the dog sitting quite happily, panting. "This," she says again, "Is Harvard. He was a somewhat custom purchase from Sunflower at The Crystal Palace's Lamplit Alley. She was offering winged canines and I wanted an adorable Shiba-Inu, yes I did!" she cries, hugging the dog by her side, kissing his furry cheek.
