A Christmas Kearu?


You arrive at the top of the small hill and can't beleive your eyes. There are frozen roses growing all around. There are pine trees speckling the horizon as well. The snow is light and flies around when you walk, but you finds it is very deep, since you can turn up two feet of snow and still have snow underneath. You hear some bells ringing and you swings around, but see nothing. Then you head hooves padding on the frozen earth, and you spy two white deer. One has pointy and sharp antlers, while the other's are round and curved. You stay as quiet as possible and observe them as they frolic around and chew on the petals of the roses-- that, you find, have no thorns-- and dig up the snow.















'Hey! You there!' you spy through the bushes and see that one of the deer is calling you. You stand up and put your hands in the air. The one who called you, the smaller one, with rounded horns, trots up to you. 'Hello. I'm Qonkele, and that grump is my sister, Synewa.' he bows, and Synewa snorts in your general direction. 'Syw!! Come say hi!' Qonkele cries.
`I *said* hi!` she snorts and trots over.
'What's your problem, Syw?' he swings around slowly, to face her.
`The humanoid destructing the natural habitat!` she whines to him.
'Oh yea? How?' he questions.
`It's messing up the snow and picking the roses! And what's more, you're *sympathizing* with it!`
'Gimme a break, Syw. If you don't like it, go eat a dandelion!'
`Fine! Don't go crying to *me*! WAH WAH WAH!` she trots off.
"Um... excuse me?"
'We're not the only ones living here. There's Rewen and Khisa, too.'
"Who?"
'They're Kearu'Namis.' "Kearu'Namis?"
Someone-- more like someTHING pounces on you from behind. "I'M a Kearu'Nami!!" it jumps off and runs around like a madthing. You turn around and see a strange purple mare looking at you.

You stare. "I'm Rewen'Nirora, Windy Rythm." she makes a face. "I don't even know what a rythm is!"
You pat her. She grins. "Come meet my dad!" she takes your hand and runs so that you have a hard time keeping up. You arrive at a spacious cave.

"Daaaaaaaaad! Daaaaaaddeeeeeeeee!!!"


A big-- make that ENORMOUS stallion trots up slowly. He nuzzles his daughter and looks at you. *Hello. I am Khisa'Laiirev, Liquid Starlight.*
