Fairy Mountain
When you reach a flat spot in the valley that has been trampled into an odd kind of nest, Rothgar stops. "I leave you here now. Go back to protecting the Herd, I must."

He trots back the way you came from, and you look around curiously, wondering where the foals could be. Before long, you hear a noise in the treetops above you, and a pile of leaves drift down and land on your head. You back up just in time for another Faequine, this one with wings and a feathered tail, flies down through the tree and lands in front of you. She is all shades of grey blended together, and you notice that she is a bit smaller than the other Faequines you have seen.
She looks you up and down, and after deciding that you are not a threat, speaks slowly and with difficulty in a thickly accented voice. "I be Pax, Bird type. Foals you meet?"

You nod, and she runs over to a bush and chases out a youngster. "Naughty, are!" You giggle as she scolds him. 
"One foal only now, but more we expect," Pax says with a wink. "He named Solaer and be of Sun Fire type." Pax seems to have a special affection for the cute little guy, and she nuzzles him happily.

Before you can ask her anything about Solaer's parents, a small stallion gallops by at full speed. He seems familiar. Is that ... Kreten? He certainly has grown, and is still as hyper as ever.
The Storm stallion reminds you much of his lightning mother, and rivals her speed and grace. He hardly stands still long enough to talk to you.

"Grown I am, but here I stay until new Herd ready to form. Pax needs help with young ones." With that he flies off through the trees and frolics in the clouds.

Pax shakes her head. "Never grown up, that one." She seems glad for the adult company, though. "One foal only in nursery now. Later, maybe he grow and more come." She smiles and keeps a close eye on the colt while you take one last look around the "nursery" as she called it.

You see more carvings that give the names and stats of Pax, Kreten,  and the foals living here.

"Return soon if you can find the way," Solaer snickers and trots off, leaving you alone. You see another path that seems to lead back around to the other side of the mountain. Curious, you follow it.
