You wander along the small almost hidden path. Occasional wild rose bushes were off to the side, but except for those, it was just the towering wall of pine trees. The path ended and it come to the foot of a sloping hill. You trot up the hill and you found a clearing below you. It was surrounded by sugar maples and an old willow tree stood in the middle. You walk down the hill and sat under the old willow, needing a rest. A yellow unicorn trotted towards you. He seemed to be snickering and looking behind him. Not noticing you, he tripped over you and sprawled on the ground
        "Oh, gam'cha traveller," he said sheepishly, "I'm Sha'Rzira, Fire Runner."


        He grinned slightly and picked himself off the ground. A crack of a twig made you whirl around to face a rather angry looking grey unicorn. You jump back and Sha gives a quirky grin.
        "Gam'cha Shaue! Look who came to visit!" he chirped at grey one and gave her a look that said 'You can't kill me in front of a guest'. Shaue glowered at Sha and Sha just gave a wink and galloped quickly away.
        'Shaue' stood there fuming and then turned to you.
        "Gam'cha traveller," she said lightly and bowed slightly.
        She was nearly all grey except for her bright blue eyes and gleaming horn. She also had a purple bow attached to her mane. She gave a slight grin.
        "My name's Shaue'Tolkai, Shadowed Beauty. Me and Sha are called Crystal Unicorns. We were adopted at The Crystal Unicorn Adoptions. You should go there if you wish to adopt one of our kind," she flicked her tail and gave a grin, "I suppose you should go. I'm going to go look for Sha and ki- err... 'talk' to him."
        She gave a reluctant grin and showed you the path out of the clearing. She then galloped off quickly to look for Sha. Then when you were about to leave, a noise startled you. It came from behind some willow trees. You clamber over to the willow trees and looked. It was a serene pond with another crystal mare there. She was humming and dancing, eyes closed.


        I don't want to understand this horror
        There's a weight in your eyes that I can't admit
        Everybody ends up here in bottles
        But the name tags the last thing that you wanted
        As the world explodes we fall out of it
        But we can't let go because this
        Will not go away
        There's a house built out in space...

        I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
        But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
        I don't know what's happening and I won't pretend
        But I can be your....

        Someone help us understand who ordered
        This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
        I don't want to hear who walked on water
        Because the hallways are empty and the clock ticks

        Her vioce trailed off as she canters off into the distance. A snapping of a twig made you whirl around. Yet another crystal was there, grazing, not noticing you. He snorts and looks up, eyes boring into yours. His coat was brown and tannish. His mane was the same as the crystal before. He bows slightly.
        "Gam'cha," he says quietly, "I see you have met my mother. (A small grin) Her name is Trola'Kiko, Feather Dancer. She has always been a bit... quiet. I am Zorieawlya, Dreamcatcher..." The stallion trailed off and continued grazing.

        "Psst! Traveller!" a whisper made you turn around.
        Behind a tree, peeked out a laughing crystal unicorn. She was velvet with white spots on her rump and down her neck. Her long tanish mane and tail swung wildly around as she pranced up to you, giggling.
        "Hi!" she chirped in a foal-like way, "I'm Fayth's'Ref, Dove's Heaven! (giggle) People say I haven't changed much from my foal days. I kinda agree. It's fun running around, being carefree! Sister is no fun at all, though. (pout) All they want to do is lie around and do nothing! It's so boring! At least Barrn is willing to play! Oh, I think I hear him coming now! We're playing tag, you know!"
        She so she pranced off into the distance, trying to be discreet, but failing miserably.


        Soon enough, another crystal came speeding by. His also tanish mane and tail was streaked with white. He was brown and white and actually quite beautiful.. err... handsome. He stopped a few feet away from you and backtracked. He snorted, tossing his head, and flinging his mane out of his eyes.
        "Gam'cha traveller!" he grinned as much as a equine can grin, "I'm Barrn'lo'Drela, Sugar and Spice! You haven't seen Fayth around, have you? That pixie is a really fast runner! I tagged Sweets though. She said she wasn't playing, but hey! That doesn't really matter, right? She's always so NOT FUN anymore! (grin) She'll be around shortly! Don't say I told her that she wasn't fun anymore, okay? Gotta dash!"
        He reared and shot off, cackling (if crystals can cackle)off. He soon became a small brown and white blur off in the distance.

        Awhile later, a yellow crystal came by more slowly. She was clearly grumbling, and muttering words under her breath. She had a pure white mane, and flame-like patterns at the bottom of her legs. Her eyes were an amazing ruby red, and she was clearly a vision of beauty. She stopped in front of you, raised her head and nodded a bit.
        "Hello. I suppose you already met my friends," she tossed her head at your nod, "I swear they are getting so irresponsible. (small frown) Playing kid games and all. I wasn't even playing and they come tag me! But I can still outrun them all! Hah! They can't beat me! Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? I'm Syaulark, Sweetness. They call me Sweets though, thanks to Barrn. (shakes her head) Well, I best go and get Fayth."
        The crystal spun off, faster than the other two. Her white mane flying behind her and she muttered about childish games. She was smiling though, and you knew not to take her seriously.

        You turn and leave.
