Sha'Arlaa
You keep exploring the Meadow, finding all it's thickets near the edges. They are rounded, curved over brush, making an ample shelter in case it rains. Morning glory is twined all around it, and great white blossoms blow in the breeze. As you find another, you see a leggy palamino pinto unicorn walking in your general direction.
Her ears perk up as she sees you and quickens her gait. However, when she gets closer, her ears turn back in confusion and she eyes you carefully. You can see her talking to herself, as if she's very confused.
You greet the unicorn warmly.
She looks surprised, then she throws back he head and laughs. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were a Realm Guardian!" She stamps her feathered hoof in jest. "Gam'cha, weary Wanderer! I am Sha'Arlaa, Fire Spirit! I, like Matall, am a Crystal Unicorn." She shakes her short mane, and the long pieces bounce happily. It looks almost as if she has bangs.
"Welcome to my glade, Traveller. This is where we go, often to sleep when the weather turns sour. Not many storms occur here, but when they do they are storms of fury." She motions for you to walk beside her. You do, however you must almost jog to keep up with the unicorn, as she is almost all leg. "Rumours go on about the herds, y'know...Like how this Realm came to be or why such good things, and such terrible things happen. They all question their Creation." She smiles, her horn flashing in the sun. "I, for one, do not care. I am happy that I have a meadow to live in with abundant food, I have good friends to visit, and I have a place to stay that changes. The sun often hides and the rains fall. Who could ask for more?" She does a half-rear and paws the ground.
"If the sky falls, and we fall with it, so be it. My life here is wonderful, and if it goes, I will go with it. 'Tis only fair, eh?" She rests her head on your shoulder for a moment. The only think you can think when she moves is that she must have a head of...well...something heavy like steel.
"Aye now. Probably best for you to be off. The others may not like a stranger so close to our sleeping-areas. Privacy, n'all." She grins at you.
As you walk off, she whinneys in farewell.
