The meadows roll on, but you seem to get about midway in the field. More and more creatures are gathered here and there among the hills. You find that some of them moving away from you, but some seem to not move or see you.
"Hey, over here!" cries a cheery male voice. "Come here!"
You see a large, fire-red equine standing on a hill, looking straight at you. "Me?" you ask. He nods. You walk over to the equine, and he chirps.
"Call me Nirelle," he says. "And this is my friend Legudien..."
You turn and look as Nirelle says and see a beautiful unicorn... A zebra-unicorn! She shyly burries her noise into her arm, but she looks up at you and grins. "Hi," she says quietly.
"We were trying to start a herd," says Nirelle. "But there weren't enough equine interested, you know?"
Legudien says, "Yeh, we were looking around in the meadow because there are so many equine around here, but a lot of them have settled into smaller herds or prefer solitary life. We think the meadow attracts the loner kinds... or the kinds that prefer small herds."
Nirelle steps forward, "Anyway, we saw you coming, and we knew that the meadow isn't necessarily the easiest place to meet new people, since a lot of times they can hide or not want to talk at least. So we wanted to introduce ourselves. Don't worry if they shrink away, it's normal, and it's not just because you're a wanderer."
