She yawns and shakes her head, looking up at you with a smile. "And my name, travelor, is Freedom. I was a Limited Edition worling for the 4th of July some years back. I'm one of the main caretakers around here." She swishes her tail around, standing suddenly. You notice that she is, in fact, an anthromorphic creature. Clearly feline, to boot.

"So, then," she starts again, hands on her hips, weight shifted to one side. "Little Rrulgh here's been a good boy? No leading you into quicksand or nothin'?" You smile and shake your head. "Well, that's good. He can be a little troublemaker sometimes...but he doesn't want anyone hurt, right, kid?" She laughs when the other feline worling stares at her, head down like a child angry for being yelled at.

Tidingspin whinnies softly to the patriotic worling and romps off toward the pond again, pawing at the water a bit while flicking her tail impatiently. Your new, speaking guide turns to you. "Would you like to meet Swisian?" she asks you. "She was one of three EverRealm pets given to Vaprrenon through a Livejournal Give-away. I'm sure she'd like to meet you; she's a playful little sort."

You blink, caught off-guard by the question, and you take a minute to compute the inforamtion jsut given to you. At last you smile and nodd, wishing to see the new worling creature. Freedom meows a bit to Rrulgh, who nodds and walks over to you. He licks your hand in good-bye and starts climbing back up the slope to go elsewhere.

"I'll be your guide for now," Freedom offers for an explanation. You accept it and follow the new feline creature toward Tidingspin at the pond's edge. This new worling must live in this pond, you think to yourself. A marine worling should be interesting to meet.

"Tidingspin has called her, she's coming don't you worry," Freedom says as she puts a paw-like hand on your shoulder, watching the water. You spot a few bubbles and a rippling disturbance a bit of a ways off. "There she is!" your new guide says happily, pointing with her free hand now.

You kneel down on the pond's edge, realizing that there is a bit of a drop the moment one would be to enter the water, at least two feet, if not more. You look up when seeing a flash of orange, then purple. You jump when the worling suddenly breaks the surface, smiling happily with her small horselike face. She swims a bit closer, flicking her pink-edged tail a bit both to steer and keep from gettign stuck on the shoreline.

You pet the wet creature's mane, realising that the hair feels somewhat plastic, as it is already drying and starting to regain its fluff about the worling's head and neck. Freedom sits down beside you, smiling at her fellow EverRealm being. "Swisian is a marine equine worling. Like I said, she came in a Livejournal Give-away and she's been quite happy here ever since." You shout when the marine worling suddenly sprays a bit of water at you.

You laugh at the lot of them, trying to dry yourself from the attack as best you can without a towel. You look back to the water-dwelling equine creature flapping around in the water looking quite proud of herself. After a moment, though, you frown, catching a glimpse of some...sort of purple thing shimmering below the surface of the water nearby. You blink in surprise, seeing a wet, furry head pop out of the water next to Swisian.

Freedom sighs, rolling her eyes as you watch the two creatures. "I forgot about this lot," she says tiredly. "That there is Wendel. He's a marine weezel worling, and too energetic for his own good. It's going to get him into trouble one day, mark my words."

You and Freedom watch the water, seeing a dark green shape appear, and a pony-looking head break the surface. It neighs a bit at you, wimming over as if to say hello to its other aquatic friends, and then glides back over to you, stepping out of the pond a bit, supported by a pair of long hoofed legs.

Freedom smiles. "And that's the third member of this pond's little trio," she says almost slyly as you reach out, petting the creature. It feels rubbery, like a dolphin. Intrigued, you almost don't hear your guide explain more. "This one here is Deticok; she is a marine equine worling, um, as you can see I suppose." Freedom reaches out, petting the little creature as well.

Deticok flicks her head back, falling down a bit and pushes herself back into the water, swimming off happily to play with her two marine friends. You grin, watching the small lot, and look up to Freedom warmly, wondering what else is in store for you. Worlings are obviously, unpredictable in appearance, but you love those you have seen so far, and want to see more of the interesting little creatures now.

The feline worling sighs, leaning against a tree as she watches the water-bound trio for a bit. "Playful little buggers, the lot of them," she laughed. "I could watch them and their silly antics all day-" she frowned "-unless they splash me again. Then I'll have to kick some fin and tail booty." She laughs, looking over to you as she straightens herself.

"That's it for this pond; Vaprrenon didn't want it to get overcrowded. The forest is just dotted with little pools for the aquatic worlings. Come on, I can show you some more of the bunch if we head a bit west." She nodded in the direction and started off. You get up, brush yourself off, and trot on after her. You can't wait to see what other EverRealm worlings you two may meet along the way.
