A gentle breeze tousles your hair as you look about yourself, the sweet aroma of small green leaflets filling your senses as ferns nod in the breeze at the foot of several thick trees. In the bushes, you can hear the steady chirr of snow crickets and overhead, a blackbird alights on a branch and sings its dischordant song. You pass by a man-made spring teeming with crystal waters as you walk forward, careful to avoid roots protruding from the ground as you go, dead leaves crunching underfoot. You wonder, as your ear catches the faint babbling of a brook, what could possibly live in a secluded place such as this. As if in answer to your question, a gentle breeze rustles against you and you hear the faint rustle of paper. Turning to look, you see a brightly-colored form in the bushes. "Hello there." a beautiful equine tells you from where she is lying in the thick grass. Her body is a creamy white color though it looks to be painted in some areas with bright oranges and reds. "My name is Crystaltanya and welcome to my glade." the unicorn takes a deep breath and stretches as she stands. "I was abandoned by my previous owner, but I've found refuge here." she smiles. "I've already gotten used to it rather easily...much more room to romp." she punctuates this by kicking up her feet. "If you like I could show you the way out..." she offers. You shake your head, suddenly noticing a small leatherbound book on a stump entwined with rose vines. "That book will contain my story once its been written." she smiles at you. "For now the pages stand blank. You understand." Seeing all there is to see in this glade, you finally make your choice to leave it behind you. Overhead, the blackbird continues to sing, serenading you as you leave. Name Crystaltanya Gender Female Age Mare Number #149 Parents Torines and Turran'entrada Charity None Mate None Foal Picture
