You covertly let out a sigh of relief as you pass by the last of the holly trees. Not that you didn't like the plant, it just seemed that the plant didn't like you. Hmph. Several strides go by and you realize that the grass is different here. Lusciously thick -- you bend down to run your fingers through the blades. Lifting your eyes from the grass reveals a unicorn in front of you. Now how did you miss her?

The delicate looking mare raises her elegant neck and nods at your approach. "Sella li. Fine day, isn't it?" She smiles kindly at you. "I am Neth'ethen or Purple Star. Though I prefer to be called Neth. Considering that there's a Valisna'ethen around here and it might get confusing. Have you meet him?" She smiles at your nod. "Don't let that surly attitude of his get to you though." Neth tells you sagely. "He's really a sweetie under all that gruff."

At your parting wave you hear her soft voice call out. "But don't tell him I said that!"
