| You carefully continue along the path, winding around the rocks. It curves around the elevated area of land, too big for a hill, too small for a mountain. Finally, the path starts to descend once more, and the trees start to outnumber the rocks. You notice also that the trees are once again back to being green, as opposed to the random other colors you'd experienced back a bit on the path. As soon as you leave the hill behind and enter the forest, the entire atmosphere changes. You find that it isn't really like the rest of the forest; it's much more wild, and much more damp. Beads of moisture seem to rest on every leaf and bright flower petal, of which there are many. Explosions of color are everwhere, and you admire the varying flowers, while at the same time noticing that the path is narrowing and underbrush seems to be closing in. You continue on, traveling deeper and deeper into the jungle-like landscape, wondering what living creature you'll find next. You jump, startled, when a voice from behind you speaks. |

"Greetings," the creature says, regarding you curiously. "I am Airmid. You seem surprised to see me." She blends right into the rest of the scenery, and she looks like nothing else you've seen while wandering these lands. You introduce yourself, and timidly ask her what she is. "I am a Leagus. I come from the EverRealm." Airmid prances slightly on the narrow path. "It is definitely nice to see that the paths are being used, and that the undergrowth isn't being held back for nothing." You glance down at the large leaves of the plants on either side of the path. Even now, the leaves seem to be creeping closer to you, though you can't be sure that it isn't just a trick of the light. Airmid follows your gaze, and tosses her head, pawing slightly at the ground near the leaves. Abrubtly, they stop seeming to move. You are startled once more as a question is voiced from behind you. "Airmid, have we a visitor?" You whirl around, and find yourself nearly face to snout with another Leagus, this one much darker in color than the first. |

"I am Rionach," she says, a trifle haughtily. Her gaze can almost be interpreted as a glare, and the smile on her face is rather akin to a smirk. "Do you like our little area of the forest, stranger?" As she says this, the undergrowth once again seems to start creeping fowards. A snort and a stomp from behind you stops the approaching foliage, and Rionach transfers her gaze to the mare behind you. "Suit yourself, Airmid. Accomodate the stranger all you want. I'm off." With that, she launches herself off of the path, leaving the flora she passes through shaking slightly as she disappears. You turn back to Airmid, who's eyes slide from the path of her fellow Leagus back to you. "Perhaps you should continue onwards. Muirne is somewhere up ahead, and she is much more amiable than Rionach." With that, Airmid leaps back off the path, disappearing almost immediately into the undergrowth.
