FOREST OF MYSTIC RAIN
You pet one of the familiars still perched on your shoulders, when one flies away in alarm. The others quickly follow suit, and you find out why when you are suddenly pinned to the ground. You struggle- although you can still breathe.
Salaky! Let go of the traveler.
The large figure moves off of you. As soon as you can stand again, you examine the creature. It's another Leagus.
"Sorry, Mezzin." she smiles sheepishly. "I didn't mean to hurt it."
All very well, Salaky. But don't do it again.
"Aye-aye!" the leagus says, bringing one hoof up to her forehead in some sort of salute.
"Right. Who are you?" you ask, dusting yourself off.
"Salaky, at your service, Leagus, Second Mare, Fading Legends-" you cut her off.
"Alright, alright." you say. She seems somewhat disappointed at your lack of enthusiasm. But then she turns her head towards the sky, spreads her wings, and takes off, sending dust everywhere. You sneeze.
"Wha-" you stutter, watching her figure take off above the treetops.
I will never understand that Leagus. But come. We have more to see
You nod, and follow him.
