You keep going the the desert, thinking desperately that you'd like to be somewhere else where there was less heat and sun. You approach an orange creature that at first appears to be a winged tiger, but he has a blue mane as well. He smiles when he sees you approach and walks over to greet you.
"Hello there," he says. "My name is Reggie. I see you've decided to brave the desert. Good of you. Where are you going?"
You tell him you're not sure, and he nods his head.
"Well, you should decide now. If you keep going the way you're going, you'll make it to the valley. If you want to go to the mountains, you can follow me. You'll meet more of my herd on the way, too."
You pause. "Herd?"
He smiles. "I am a Drigus. I'm actually the lead stallion of my herd here; the other drigetti are in the desert as well." He points off to the right. "If you keep that way with me, you can meet them. There are Allonian drigetti like me, but also various cousins, so to speak, which come from different places."
Still a bit confused, you ponder which way you should go.
