"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.
