You walk down a path toward a bright forest. The signpost on the path was labeled with a horse-like creature with a long, spiraling horn coming out of its forehead. You recognized it as a unicorn. However, below it, was a similar picture, only this one had wings. You've never seen that picture before and can't imagine what it is. You walk throught the forest, following the path, and you hear birds calling and animals whinnying. You wonder if the unicorns are making the whinnying sounds and speed up your steps. Finally, you find yourself in a clearing. Within, many unicorns, winged and not, frolick in the sun. You step foreward and one of the winged unicorns flies down and lands next to you. He is black with blue butterfly wings.
"My name is Capricorn," he says to you. "Welcome to our home. We welcome all travelers." And indeed, the other unicorns had clustered around you and Capricorn, curious about this new visitor. You look around and wonder what their names are; there are so many unicorns. Capricorn sees your puzzled look and laughs.
"Would you like to know everyone's name?" he asks you. You nod gratefully and Capricorn points to the nearest winged unicorn. This unicorn is black as well, but has flame markings.
"That's Firestorm," Capricorn states. "He has a quick temper, but cools down pretty quickly. He's great once you get to know him." Firestorm ducks his head and whinnies in acknowlegdement of the joke. Capricorn indicates the unicorn to Firestorm's left. She's white with yellow and pink butterfly wings.
"That's Enchantress. She charms everyone who visits and she's just about everyone's favorite," Capricorn says. Enchantress flutters her wings and smiles. You laugh and point to the next unicorn. Capricorn looks where you point and smiles. This unicorn is a dark blue and has a crescent moon on his flank. He's staring up at the sky, watching the first stars come out.
"Oh, that's Wizard," Capricorn says. "He's always staring at the moon and the stars. If you ask me, he's a bit of a lunartic." You laugh at Capricorn's joke and look to the next group of unicorns. Capricorn points to a group of three standing close to you.

"Those three came from a different place than we did," Capricorn tells you. "The pale purple one with lightning in his mane and tail is Bolt. He can run as fast as the lightning." Bolt whinnies and gallops toward the edge of the clearing. He turns and gallops back to his place, all in a matter of seconds. You are amazed at how fast he can run.
"The green unicorn next to him," Capricorn continues, "is Cosmo. He likes to sit and contemplate the stars and planets in the sky." You look over at Cosmo and see that he is looking at the sky above your heads. You smile and think of someone who reminds you of him. You turn to the blue unicorn grazing nearby. Her fur looks like a mosaic pattern. Capricorn follows your gaze and says, "That's Krystl. She looks as fragile as crystal, but she is very strong." You nod and Krystl whinnies at you.
You look over your shoulder and see another group of three unicorns. Capricorn trots around you and heads toward that group. When you reach it, Capricorn points his horn at a rainbow colored unicorn and says, "That's Wobniar. His mane and tail are identical so you don't know if he's coming or going." Wobniar runs away from you, turns around, and runs back with his head tucked down. He does look the same from the front and back. The only way anyone knows which way he's going is by watching whether he's getting closer or farther away. Capricorn turns to a unicorn grazing next to Wobniar and says, "That's Stone. His coloring looks a little like marble. Also, during a flood, he stood his ground in the middle of it and didn't move. He's also very stubborn." You turn back to Stone and see him looking at you. He whinnies once and goes back to grazing.
"Why are you the only one talking?" you ask Capricorn. He smiles and replies, "The others don't like to talk to strangers. I'm the elected greeter." You nod and turn to look at the unicorn staring at the sky with Cosmo. Capricorn follows your glance and says, "That's Solaris. She shares the same passion for stars and space that Cosmo does. They spend most of their time talking to each other and staring at the sky."

You walk a little further into the forest clearing and see a group a four unicorns over at the other end. A small yellow one with a pink mane walks over to you and says, "Hi, my name is Quincy. What's yours?" You tell him your name and ask who the others are. Quincy looks at a small pink unicorn with darker pink spots and says, "That's Kasey. She and came from the same place and are good friends." Kasey nods her head towards you and goes back to grazing. You look at the last two unicorns. These two have butterfly wings, which startles you. The smaller one walks up to you first and says, "My name's Songstar and this is my friend Nitewind. Welcome to our home." You thank her and she goes back to grazing. Nitewind's deep voice rolls over you.
"She must like you. Songstar doesn't talk to very many people. It was nice to meet you," Nitewind tells you before he ambles off to graze. You thank Quincy and walk back to Capricorn. You thank him as well and he says, "You are welcome to stay longer or go back to the Glade. Just click on the alien below. Or you can go back to Remanth's main house by clicking on the solar system. Have a nice stay."
