Keibi is perched on a low branch, awaiting your decision. Choosing a trail to follow is always hard...

"Why don't you go visit the Sekies?"

"Sekies?" You ask, confused. Must be a new animal type that has come to live in the Forest.

"Yep," he says with a slight chirp. "They are cat like creatures. Desiree found them while doing a hunt. We have three so far, and an egg that will hatch into a Li Ki" You decide to follow the trail which Keibi points to, and visit the Sekies for yourself. The trail is small, newly made, without the wear of time and footprints. But eventually the trail will widen and harden, and become like all the others that branch out through the Forest. Only Keibi, the Gaurdian of the Clearing, will be able to tell which way is which.

You walk reflecting in the warm sunlight that spills down between the trees. You idly notice that a cloud is marring the wide blue expanse when you hear a rustle in the bushes that line the trail. You stop in your tracks, wanting to find out what the sound could be. But you have not long to wait, for two little cats roll onto the path, apparently trying to pin each other down. A third one follows after the two, a bit more subdued than the rest. Soon, another three come out, forming a mass around you. They buzz and meow as you come to them. Looking to the right of the trail, you find a small egg, sitting quietly in a large nest.
