Along a path you keep walking you legs getting tired and anything you seem to be caring seeming heavier that it actually is. Then up ahead of you, you can see a bunch of trees. Looking at them as you walk forward more you can see that their ruts have been exposes by time and a few vines shift in and out of them, bringing color to some of the bleaches white rules. Walking over and sitting down you look around at the trees and all that grows near them.

Over not to far of a distance there is a small patch of grass; it sways softly back and forth. Then form inside the grass you hear a soft tracheal of water, many things seem to stir around here. Watching the grasses more you blink seeing a mouse just scurry out and then grad a grass seed and eat it right in front of you with no fear. Then when it finishes it just looks at you and scurries off again.

Looking around again you see that there is a mist wondering in among the trees. It just slowly moves forward and lightly covers the grasses and bottoms of the trees. You can still see though because it is a light mist and just lightly covers what it encounters.

Then coming form the mist you see many figures. One walks on top of the mangled and noted rues and the other flies about the mist. The one walking comes into view first, a metallic clinking with her steps. Stopping and looking at you she dips her head in greeting and talks to the other. Her head held high and tail slowly twitches back and forth.

The metallic paw and for-arm seems to catch any light that goes near, witch makes it glimmer and shine a bit. Then she speaks, her voice clear and steady, " I am Metal Shadow, warrior and protector." You nod and look her over again.

Then the second one lands quickly and stares at you form the roots, "It is an evil wizard! AHH!" She glares at you and arches her wings. The brilliant colors of them showing though the mist. The winged one looks you over and snorts.

The other shakes her head "No Wild Dreamer. That is a wonder to our land…" She shakes her head again and looks at you. Wild Dreamer looks at you then hopes into the grasses then you see her as she appears under the roots wings still arches and her little dear tail straight up. Then she begins humming and her head bobs slowly back and forth. As she is doing this, the mist seems to still and a feeling of wonder creeps over you as tingles run up and down your spine.

As you are looking at the two the other two come into view, walking side by side come two more females. A beautifully colored female walks her long tail swishing back and forth, the earthy tones of her coat blending into some of the grasses and some of the roots. She slightly kicks at the other mare and then looks at you.

Then the other mare steps forward and dips her head to each and every one of the others then looks at you and dips her head. Her fox-like tail arched over her back. " I am Fox, and I am sure all the other have introduced them selves already." She looks to each of them. The earthy mare shakes her head and grins. "Ahh.. I see one has not." She noses her head toward the mare. " She is Deer Walker."

Then before anything else is said another mare come bounding up that you did not see enter with the others. She bounds along in the tall grasses the all of a sudden she does not return with another bounce. "Meep!" You see her head again and then she walks over her white standing out agents the rest of the others.

She tilts her head and look around at the others that are now looking about and a few just lays in the grasses. Her tail twitches back and forth as she looks at you and then at all the others. Smiling "I am Snow Dawn." Then she perks her ears and then trots over to the earth colored mare. Then both laugh and begin to bounce around nipping at each other.

A shadow moves among the roots. You can hear the soft talking of the others as a green and black mare approaches, along her back is a row of spikes. She looks form one to the other then to you.

All the others go back to their talking but Metal Shadow walks over and bows her head in greeting. The mare nods to her and smiles a little; they begin to talk together. Then Metal Shadow looks up at you; "This is Darks Thorns. Not much of a talker to many though." Shadow laughs a bit and then talks with her again.

You look around thinking and then off from behind you comes the call of a greeting to the others, they all perk their ears and a few step forward in anticipation to meeting the others. Then form the shadows appears a dark black and red mare her held high and her fire tail swishing back and forth. She calls again and then breaks into a trot.

Fox look over and then meets her in the middle, her ears perked. "Well I bring good news Fox. I have found more roaming area and a few more to join our little band." She grins and nods toward the others.

Fox nods, " It is good to see you again Blood Fire. " Fox nods and then they walk to meet the other that traveled with her. Fox looks around and spots the others and then arches her tail over her back.

Upon walking over there an earth female walks out and nods to fox. Her beautifully colored coat shins as she walks past. Fox just nods back knowing who she is. The earth mare walks over to fox and flops her tail over her back in a cat-like greeting and then thy go there separate ways. The earth mare trots to the rest of the others standing out among roots and grass.

She rears up in front of some of them in playful manner and then trots over to the other earthy colored mare. They both nod a greeting and that seems to be that as they begin to look around and then at the new comers.

A dragon-winged mare lands and hops over to Fox and Blood Fire, her tail twitching back and forth in a friendly manner and her ears perked. She bows her head in greeting and shuffles he wings a little. The dragon winged mare shuffles a little then introduces herself, "I Winged Thought."

Fox nods and smiles, "Welcome to our lands." Winged Thought smiles and goes to meet all the others. Touching noses with some and then nodding to others of the group, then she finds a thick root and hops up on it to look around a bit more.

Then a male walks, almost prances, up and bows gracefully to Fox, his green tint showing in some little spots of sun. He stops a little bit form them and blinks, the beautif green on is eyes showing. He fluffs his wings and looks a Blood Fire and Fox. " I am Forest’s Eye, I and glad to meet you pretty mare." He bows again.

Fox nods to him, Forest’s Eye smiles and walks over to meet the others. He high steps pretty much the hole way there then all of a sudden stop s and shakes his head at himself then just trots over.

Fox and Blood Fire walk back over, then fox announces, "This is to the ones that have not been here for very long… This is not a Myriad, we are just in a band, any may come or leave at there will." She nods.

Fox looks at the others and then to you again. Then all of them meet on a few roots and begin to talk. They talk not in human tong but in a different one, one that humans have never understood. Then the Fox turns to you again, "We are to be going, we must start a hunt before the mist clears, for that is the best time to hunt. It was good talking with you and feel free to come back if you choose."

At that last word they all turn and bagging to disappear into the mist and a yip is the last thing you hear.
