The Crystal Lands

Following Arlaa'kik's directions you head out toward the foothills of the mountain range. It is not long before you come within sight of a river, coming toward you from the banks of the river at a fast trot are two mares - one grey and one brown with similar markings. They are laughing and playing - tossing their manes and prancing around and talking about something you couldn't hear. The brown mare notices you watching them and she nudges the grey, soon both are leisurely trotting toward you.



"Gam'cha!" The grey mare says brightly. "Greetings" The brown says with a nod, she speaks softly so that you can barely hear her. "You must be a traveler to this realm." The grey mares states. "Of course - what else would you be? My name is Halti'Zteky, or 'Mountain Snowfall' in your tongue. This is my half-sister..."

"Kik'tri'kalla'Dine'Zteky," The brown mare chimes in, "or 'Dance of the First Snow', most call me Kalla'Dine."  You nod, glad to have a shorter name to refer to the delicate brown mare. The grey, Holti'Zteky, picks up where her half-sister left off. "I don't suppose you've already met our parents? Our father is Arlaa'kik, my mother is Chianla'Melin and Kella'Dine's mother is Li'i'kalla'zteky."

You spend some time chatting with the two mares, but soon it is time that you were on your way. Saying your goodbyes you head off down to the river...
