"Who ayre you, and what do you want?" An accented voice rings through the air, and you look around. Your gaze falls on a yellow, rainbow creature. One cloven hoof strikes the ground, and she watches you, quietly. Turning away from you, the small horse-like creature darts through the underbrush, her rainbow coat striking out in the humid air. Emerging in a small glave, you look around. There is small pool nearby, the water is bubbling, and steam rises from the surface. There trees around it, which cast shade over the pool. Around the pool, the ground is sandy, and you can feel heat in your feet.
Continuing to look around, you notice nuts and berries, and sweet fruits growing around you. Mushrooms grow in the grassy areas. Flowers grow around the pool, soaking in the sun that filters through the trees, and vines creep across the edges, both adding color and texture to the pool.
A sharp flash of color near you draws your attention, and the rainbow creature rears, her tail swishing through the air behind her. Satisfied that you notice her again, she stands, ears flickering as light/dark eyes watch you. "I am Rainbow of the Shimmering Gold, or Shimmeringgold~Rainbow, a Samanayr mare. I am a mare of the Song of Turquoise Dew" You nod silently. Her name fits her coloring, and she regards you with cool eyes, before whirling and dissapearing behind the pool's source. You look around, but the path is covered with vines, blocking your passage. Peering harder, you believe you can make out a way through. Through a break in the dense trees around you, you see something, and start towards an old stone structure.
