Skyfire Meadow

As you climb higher, you note the slight change in temperature. You also draw more often for breath as the oxygen thins out in the air. Oddly, you notice that just up ahead, the Mountain levels off a bit, and you think you can see hints of green.

Hastening your pace, you race up the rest of the path somewhat haphazardly, and come across a small, yet pleasant Meadow. At the far corner of the meadow, a great peak stands tall. You notice a small pond at the peak's base, as well as weeping willow and birch trees, as well as lot of long, lush grass.

A teal coloured fire-lizard swoops out of a nest in one of the birch trees, and lands close to you.

Hello, Wanderer! It's eyes dance happily. Not many make it all the way up to Skyfire Meadows! My name is Swift, and the Keepers of this Realm have asked me to make sure our charges are comforable in their homes.

He notices your gaze up to the Peak.

Ah. I don't know a way up other than to fly, to be honest. Something does dwell up there, but she prefers to keep to herself. Few have seen her, however it is said that it's her magic which binds this Realm together. Swift glides over, bats his wings near your ear, and settles on a shoulder.

Don't be put off now! Besides, this Meadow has some lovely residents, and I'm sure they would adore meeting you!

The only means to leave, you note, is either jumping off the cliff or climbing back down to the caverns of Saint Mountain.
