"This," Kaytara says, "is where the tropical plants grow. Let's start the tour."

 

 

              

 

"These are Pasoni flowers. Pasoni flowers grow in warm climate and have the pleasant smell of

cherry blended with bubblegum. Pasoni flowers may be left alone in cool climates,

but only for 30 minutes."

              

"Such is a flower called Purplelisa. PurpleLisas are very  soft and posses the smell of lavender, their petals are like velvet, and can be found in warm climate. We got the Purplelisas and the Pasonis from the Heaven's Night."

                      

              

These are normal daisies and bluebloomers. These are from Kewl's Klip Art."

 

You notice a bench and decide to sit.

 

                

Suddenly two small, cute creatures leap out of the flowerbeds. You realise they are playing.

 

                       

"Oh, these two are baby Tenikas from the Island of Twiluu. The grey one is Barce and the brown one is called Cocoa."

 

Then a pack of tiny, brightly coloured birds dash out of another flowerbed. You spot a white one. A blue one has perched up on a twig and begins to sing as sweet as a nightinggale

                                                

                                                                                   

The song ends and the pack flies away, with the gold and the blue-white leading.

"Those were Toliki birds. They're from the Island of Twiluu, too."

 

Then, two more birds emerge. They remind phoenixes, but are somewhat different. They trill a beautiful song, and, flying one after the other, glide away.

 

                     

"Those are Lolyths from the Eternal Phantasm Adoptions. Arish is the red one and the purple female is Elice."

 

You are almost ready to get up from the bench and resume the tour, but another Lolyth slowly flies into view. Unlike the previous two, it's quite small and fragile. It's a beautiful, milk white colour. Not minding you, it perches itself onto the back of the bench and starts singing.

                 

It sings sweetly but sadly. You hold your breath, afraid to disturb the bird. After a few minutes it sings the last verse and flies away. Kaytara breaks the silence.

"That was Amiga, the other two Lolyths' daughter."

    

You decide to sit for a little more in case more creatures will come.

                                                              

You sit for what seems like an hour, but finally your patience is rewarded. Two small, horse-like creatures creep out of the flowers. You hold your breath, and they don't seem to notice you, or maybe are just not afraid.

 

                                         

                                                                         

"Twiluu ponies," Kaytara says as the creatures graze peacefully on the lush grass. "The starry one is Ariku and the other is Tigre. Look!"

You turn your head and see a tiny dog sitting on the bench next to you. Why didn't you hear it coming? Now it looks at you in a funny way, its head tilted slightly.

                                            

"Lavanda. She's very friendly."

"Aren't they all?" you ask.

"You're right," nods Kaytara, "but Lavanda is one of the few who actually show interest in the newcomers."

You call the dog quietly, holding your palms flat together. Lavanda wags her tail and jumps into your hands. You stroke her, she licks your nose. Then suddenly, she is gone, all you manage to spot is the flash of her purple tail in the daisies.

"She's friendly, but gets bored very quickly," Kaytara comments.
