 A white and black rabbit scurries passed you on the path through the courtyard. He stops, looks at you momentarily, then carries on. Following Lady Reaper, you're amazed at how everything seems to extend. The courtyard didn't seem this big from the castle balcony just like the meadows seem to extend forever. The feline-morph leads you into a garden of lillies and buttercups and flowers you've never seen before in colors you're sure don't even have names. Your hostess lets you wander ahead of her towards the ornate fountain. The rearing unicorn is carved out of a slick blue stone that you've seen around the island. It reflects the colorful surroundings like a mirage. You stare up at it until a little pink shroud flits by your nose. You watch the butterfly dance around and smile as its bobbing antennae tickle your cheek and nose. "Hm... the first warning sign is always the butterfly." Lady Reaper's foreshadowing voice creeps up behind you. You turn to face her and the butterfly turns with you. It flutters towards the feline and she extends her hand in greeting. It kisses her fingertips before disappearing into the flowers. "That little butterfly is the first of the crew." She smiles and takes a seat on the fountains edge. You look around waiting for the rest of the crew but only the wind drifts by lazily. You sit down and a something soft tramples over your fingers.  You look down at the little white pony. Her long ivory hair and fluffy cloud-like wings lift her off her feet with the smallest breeze. You sit down on the edge of the fountain and smile at the little creature. With big doll-like eyes, she floats on the wind in circles around you and then skips across the water like a flat stone. As you watch her dance amongst the flowers, a strange tickling sensation attacks your hands. It feels like little eyelashes skittering across your fingers. When you look down at your hands, resting on either side of you, the sight of the little sootballs forces you to raise an eyebrow.  
A seapony swims around blowing bubbles at you inbetween casually sending water your way. For some reason these little creatures mesmerize you and you can't help but watch the pony swim about in figure eights and loops. She even jumps out of the water for you, practically floating in the air, and presses her wet nose against your cheek. She waves her tail at you then proceeds to swim laps around the pool chasing after the tiny white pony you met earlier."All these little darlings come from The StarSparkle Haven. They seem to love it in this little garden as long as the flowers continue to drop star candies." She shakes her head and you ask her the small creatures' names. "That seems to be something they keep to themselves. I suppose only the wind will ever know." On that note, the feline strolls away. Follow Lady Reaper Castle Entrance Lady Reaper |
