After hours of tramping through the loamy forest floor, scrambling over fallen logs and across steep stream banks, you finally make your way out on to the open field. You glory in the heat of the endless light and the freedom of the infinite space. But then, your moment of enjoyment over, you continue on, tramping across the wide plain. About a mile out, under the sparse shade of one of the rare trees found on this desolate grassland, you spy a tiny building, a barn, to be precise. And it's just sitting there.

Set up in miniature courses around the barn are what seem to be jumps, like you might see at a horse show. And when you look a little closer, you can see tiny equines racing over them. You lay down on the ground, to get a closer look. But your movement has startled them. The first to approach you is a dark blue color with a black mane and tail. "I am F'lara," she commences, stamping her foot. "What do you want here strainger? This is no place for humans."
A black mare trots up next to the other and begins to introduce herself. "Greetin's stranger, I be known as R'vana. An' we all be crenels. Wee horses, as ye can see." She nods her head up and down emphatically to emphasize her words. You notice that her pink and black coloring do not seem to fit her obvious scottish/irish accent. You wonder how that came about. But, on to the next.

The next, another mare, almost takes your breath away. A beautiful palomino type mare prances daintily up beside the other two mares and looks way up to see you. "Who are you?" she asks, seemingly startled. "Oh well, never matter. You are here, and if I am not mistaken, you seem human. I am A'yesa."

After three in a row, you hesitate to assume that this one is a mare too. He replies tartly, "I am no mare! I am a stallion!" He snorts at your rude assumption. "I make no mockery of your gender. For might you be a girl or a boy Earth child? That is none of my concern." Stomping his foot in annoyance, he flips his tail and canters back towards the training field, intent on practice, so it seems.

Suddenly, another stallion comes tearing off the coarse and almost crashes into the three mares. He takes a few breaths and throws his head back, tossing his long coppery locks over his shoulder and stomping his brightly feathered hooves. "One thing T'kuri forgot to mention is that he is unable to sire foals, some freak accident, I presume." He grins widely and winks at the mares. "I am known as K'pera." He grins again and takes a slight bow, very courteous.

Next, another stallion trots up, his ears perked in curiousity. "Well hellow there chap! I'm called N'dori, and I also reside here. That would make me the third stallion to do so." He ponders this for a moment. "Well anyways, I hope you were not swayed by our resident scoundrel over there, K'pera." He points a hoof. "He's a flirt and a joker, good for nothing else but a laugh." I don't see why _he_ should be the one to lead a string anhow. I'd be the better choice."

A beautiful mare appears next to him and nuzzles the stallion. "Greetings," she says with a wink, "I am E'voxa, daughter of Y'raasho and A'yesa." She tilts her head to be admired and swishes her alabaster tail. But then she looks you straight in the eyes, to let you know that it's just a guise. "You'd best take care not to harm any of this place. Or you will answer to _me_." She sticks her nose in the air and canters off.
