You pass the exceedingly boring drigus and meet a taller, stern-looking drigus with a blue mane. "Who are you?" she asks you. But, before you can respond, she smiles and shakes her head. "Sorry about that, I forgot Reggie told me that there was a wanderor coming this way."
She stamps her hooves into the sand before sitting down. "My name is Syria, and I heard that you plan to head towards the mountains, is that right?"
"Yes," you reply.
Syria's face becomes stern again. "I can offer you a short cut. You won't be able to meet the rest of the herd, but if you would like I can lead you there safely." She points diagonally from where you are standing. "We'll head straight through, unlike the way you're walking now, which will take you straight first, then you'll turn and walk this way."
She seems to know what she's doing, but do you want to meet the rest of the heard? This is a hard choice...
