Fire Trail


Saturn lets you continue on alone, as she stays behind with the Roanie. The path curves away from the stream, into trees with leaves veined with blue. The irridescence continues to dazzle your eyes, and the environment around you grows increasingly more dreamlike and surreal. Pale bark and icy-tinged leaves surround you, and even the ground beneath your feet seems to be coated with a pale, shimmery blue dust that evidently blows off of the trees.

To add to the sights, the sounds of this part of the forest are just as haunting. There aren't actually many sounds, for that matter. Occasionally, a faint birdcall is heard, but nothing makes any noise in the immediate vincinity. You hope that you won't be left in the eerie silence for too long.

As if in answer to that hope, you rather suddenly find yourself in a clearing. The grass is blue-ish green, with small, sapphire flowers here and there. The flowers look like tiny crystals; shiny and sparkling.

A small sound and a wisp of movement catch your attention, and you realize that you are not alone in the clearing.




The unicorn appears to be sleeping off to once side of the clearing, but she opens her eyes as you take a tentative step towards her.

"Greetings, visitor. I was wondering how long it would take you to get here, or if you were going to turn back before you did."

You don't really know how to answer her, so you keep quiet.

"I am Crystal's Faint Reflection. My kind are known as Rsuchu Unicorns, and we come from a rather distant land." She watches you, observing more than you meant for her to see. "You are uncomfortable in the silence and fading colors. Perhaps you would like to journey onwards? I prefer to live in a quiet place, but I see that not all share my tastes. You will not find it quite so haunting up ahead, and perhaps you will be more comfortable."

You nod politely and excuse yourself, noticing a small sign before you leave the clearing.
