They had agreed to meet here before returning to the Mountain and that is exactly what I intended to do!  I was going nowhere until this quest was complete and my home returned to its former glory.

The fire armor stallion of Tephra probably wasn't far.  He seemed just as dedicated to the task as anyone.  What was his name again...?  With a shrug of my shoulder, I begin to walk towards the river.  Fifi demanded fishes and if I didn't give in, the fish cat would start to terrorize me.

I notice a winged horse wandering in the Meadow before they are stopping to graze.  It wasn't an odd sight in the least.  Hell, half the horses in Beqanna had wings of some shape or form.  None as stunning as mine though, I think with a smirk.

As the river edge came into view the fish-cat jumped from my back and sprinted off to the waters.  I shudder to a halt thinking how cold they must be this early in the spring.

My attention then turns back to the stranger; positioning myself so the cyborg part of my face is shielded from their view.  It creeped many out at first glance and I didn't want to scare the other away. With a casual swish of my deep purple tail, I call out to the stranger, "Hey!  Nice feathers."  As my own feathered wing uplifts in a greeting gesture.
