You wander in to a dense black forest, the sun has gone down and the moon settles high in the sky. You look up and gaze at the stars for a moment, they twinkle brightly but give little light on the road ahead. The moon itself seems different somehow. A strange bluish glow surrounds it, giving the moon an eerie glow. A cold chill runs up your spine, you shiver violently and start to wander down the dark path.
   Your walking is slow and the path seems to disappear the farther you walk. Crickets chirp in unknown places, and creatures blink away as you turn to look at them. A twig cracks startling you, your turn around but fall backwards to the ground. You hit the ground hard as the wind gets knocked out of your lungs. You open your eyes to see a large creature glaring at you.

   It's head is that of a horse yet it bares a mane suggesting it is a male. Its body is lion like with fore paws yet his hind legs are horse like with feathered hooves. His tail is completely random and kind of looks dragonish, also at the shoulders he has large feathered wings that he ruffles and settles to his sides.

   "Who are you and how did you find this place?" The creatures voice is strong and bold. He takes a step forward challenging you and waiting for a response. You quiver at his massive size, yet some how come up with an answer. He raises an eyebrow but accepts your reply.

   "I am called Aleko, I am sorry for startling you. Generally we don't have visitors come about, especially not since the notice that poachers have been seeing wandering about. Come with me, it is not safe to wander these forest by your self." Aleko turns and beckons you to follow him.

   You wander down the path all the while the eerie moon giving off its dull light. A few question arise in your mind as you walk, but you keep your mouth shut, there is no telling whether Aleko is a friend or whether he is leading you to your death.

   "I take it if you have made it this far you have met our Realm keeper AirRaiser. And if you have met her then I guess I can trust you. My species are known as Qualirons, we generally reside in another Realm but some of us have left our birth prides to seek out new homes. I was the first to come here, and thus have started my own pride." A small opening in the forest reveals a small field and a few other Qualirons roaming about.

   "I give you permission to explore my pride but if anything happens in or around my pride be prepared to suffer the consequences." With that said and done Aleko takes off at a slow gallop leaving you to decide what to do next.
