The marshy lands stood before you and you were quite uncertain if you should proceed. You step in the bog, the mud squished around your hiking boots and you cautiously continued on. Right smack dab in the middle of the marsh was an island-like area where an old oak was growing. You settle down under the oak and look around. Suddenly, an upsidedown purple head startled you.
        "Hullo," she said tentively.
        You shriek in surprise and stumble back. The purple creature swung down from it's perch on the branch and stared at you with curious eyes. Her grip tightened around the beanie that she was clutching with her tail.
        "Hullo," she said again, quietly.
        "Hullo," you answer back, "who are you?"
        The creature paused and her grip tightened even more around the beanie. She looked at you thoughtfully and swung her tail around.
        "I'm Rina, a Ritaer. Ritaer-a mix between shark and raptor," she explained," if you wish to find out more go to Ritaeri Valley, my birthrealm. She gave a small smile and skittered back up her tree. You leave.
