The Hidden Mountain Pass


[BORDER]

And now you had no one to guid you but your instincts. You wondered in which direction you should go. You decide to close your eyes and let your feet do the choosing. You felt a bit silly stumbling about blindly but soon you found yourself on what must be a path and had no trouble walking with your eyes closed. After a while, you sensed you were not alone, you crack open your left eye to see a green female with many tiny wings upon her back.

"Oh, so you're not blind! I saw you wandering and tripping about so I thought I should help you around the obstacles a bit....how come you were walking with your eyes closed if you can see?" You felt quite silly explaining yourself but she just laughed. "Well, if you really wanted a guide I guess I could to it. I'm Restorum."

But you realized that you didn't want a guide anymore, and now that you'd picked a direction you decided that you were quite OK on your own. She didn't mind when you said you were fine now. "Good, because that's Urek over there and I promised him we'd go hunting together."

Urek was sitting some distance back, a fluffy blue ball of fur. He gave you an odd look as Restorum joined him and they both ran off in the other direction.

"I think Restorum likes Urek, though I'm not sure he feels the same way about her. Actually, I'm not all that sure he likes anybody, probably just agreed to go hunting to get her to stop bugging him about it."

The female was orange with bright green stripes and a large fin at the tip of her tail. "Restorum can really be a pest sometimes, but she always has your best interest at heart. So what brings you here human?" You shrug and decide that it was Restorum in the end, as she was the one who had led you about without your even knowing it.

"Who's there?"

The male had large spikes on his head and back and looked like he knew how to use them. And he didn't seem pleased to have been disturbed. The female wasn't afraid though, rushing foward so he could see her better, "It's me, Dorvan. Veral must you always be full of yourself."

The male muttered to himself, flustered by her comment. Apparently he liked to look tough but was really just a big sweetie. And then you blinked, and then blinked again. Was there really a tiny kitten between Veral's paws? No wonder he was defensive.

Dorvan noticed your glance and looked down, "Mini!" and then she laughed. "You must think mini is Veral's kit, but she's not, she's fully grown. Cute as a button though" Mini started purring and everyone else started "Awwwing."

Wait a minute, there was one more Awww, than there were felines and humans. You looked behind you and saw a pink male with a rather elongated neck.

He looked offended at your glance, "What, haven't you seen a pink male before?" To be honest, you'd seen so many colours you couldn't remember. You didn't think you'd been staring but you apologized anyway. "Ah, don't let him get to you, he's always so self-concious about his pinkness, aren't you Orfen."

"Well wouldn't you be?"

"Nope", Dorvan replied, "But then I don't think anything would have bothered me. And really, this is a human and new to our Realm. I'm sure our guest thinks your weird enough anyway, you're colour isn't that big a deal."

"Weird! In what way am I weird?"

Leaving Dorvan to figure out what to say, you slip away before Orfen got any more worked up than he already was.
