As Kiara went on, I looked at the Kirin side. A few black kirins, a sooty grey Kirin and a dark bay. Could that be? As the meeting came to an end, I trotted up to the dark bay Kirin. He snorted, then looked at me with the same recognition. “Aqua?” “Belle?” We said at the same time. How did he get here? What the hell is a Kirin? I had so many questions in which were impossible to answer now. Lady nudged me away from him. “Better to stay away from hippocamp and Kirin.” She mumbled with a small bit of hate. I looked questioningly at Aqua. He just shrugged. “Why?” I asked. It was unfair that I can’t hang out with my bud. “There is currently. A war.” I didn’t get it. This area looks so peaceful! As we trotted back to base, she explained not enough to quench my curiosity. I asked about the reindeer. I didn’t see them at the gathering! She explained they were special hybrid species, in which not to interact with. I realised there wasn’t many Pegai. As I was about to rest, the ‘general’ called us in. He was a Pegai, the other brown I saw. He looked directly at me, then turned his focus to the crowd. “It is time to win a battle!” He boomed. Murmurs of agreement rose from us. “Attack this dummy with all your might. It will show the strength rating.” He whinnied. A black pegai, then a brown unicorn charged. All of them were 6 star rating. Then lady charged. Her horn pierced the dummy badly, it would have a wound for life. Her rating was 8. She should’ve gotten a 10! The general snorted at me. It was my turn! I charged, swooping into the air. My wings turned to stone, or iron in that split second and decapitated the poor dummy. The rating was 10! The general looked at me fiercely. “Try not to massacre the enemy, but good power you found within yourself.” Was I being praised? What power? After a few bay and buckskins and chestnuts charged, we trotted off to battle! I had heard kirins can breathe fire and hippocampus can summon water. Would we drown and burn at the same time? I inspected my wings closely. They looked feathery, but with a slimy mucus on them. Maybe that would keep them dry! I looked back and there was an army of hippocampus and Kirin standing there. Uh oh
Sorry for the previous being '5'. It was meant to be 6 but human error. Thanks
