You follow Bereich's directions towards, what he simply called, "The Rock". You trudge through the heather-covered valley until you ascend a hill and come upon a strange grouping of rocks. Like the rest of the highlands, these rocks are made of a dark blue stone. However, these seven stones, neatly arranged in a circle, are badly weathered and rough. The largest peaks out of the ground where the sun is setting to the East. Every stone has a unique set of engravings. The large one faces you with its absurdly flat side. You notice it's still smooth as silk, untouched by any kind of wear and tear.
"Aye! What are you gawking at?" A playful call makes you look up. An ivory white Mequis looks down at you. His markings are bright pink and blue, a beautiful combination of color and pattern, while his eyes are as deep green as the rich grasses. He grins.
"I asked you a question, mate." The Mequis jumps down from the largest rock and circles around you. You notice his three hooves and single hind paw. The long hair on his legs bounces with each step. He chuckles.
"I guess you're travelling the realm to see M'lady Reaper's companions, aren't ya?" He has a boyish charm mixed with some sort of sly, tomcat tone. "My name's Jongleur." He bows deeply. His perwinkle blue ears twitch and he shines a big, toothy grin to you.
"WAI!!" Something barrels into you before you catch the mischievous gleam in Jongleur's eyes. The second Mequis bounds off your chest and lands some feet away. Her purple coat is broken by an appaloosa blanket with big, blue spots. She does a playful little jump, wriggling her long tail.
"Chondria!" Jongleur exclaims and bounds towards her. The two circle one another and pounce, missing each other by a long shot, before laughing. You raise an eyebrow. These Mequis are certainly the most playful creatures you've met so far.
A loud yawn turns your attention to the rocky outcrop you've fallen next to it. A pair of big green eyes are level with yours and the mequis grins. This one is also a shade of purple, more of a wine-color, with blood red stripes down his back. His single hoof seems out of place poised beneath his chin.
"Coyolxauqui!" The third mequis's eyes widen as the two shout in unison and pounce towards him. Too lazy to move, the bigger Coyolxauqui lets the other two barrel into him. How was that for an introduction? You laugh to yourself. Regaining your composure, you dust yourself off and watch the three bound about the natural jungle gym of rocks. They effortlessly climb and leap the seven rocky outcrops and dance around the nature-made circle. Smiling, you leave them to their games.
