"Hello, my friends! Are you ready to share stories until this night's end?" I asked the children, ponies, zebras, griffons, alicorns and dragons all around the bonfire. The moon was bright and stars painted the sky with their beauty.

"Yes!" the children shouted, eager to hear tonight's story.

"Ah, I see you are all eager to start, but I need to ask, do you know about the spirits and the stars?" Seeing their confused expressions, I stood up, gathered some powder from my bag and threw it on the fire, creating a purplish - green smoke, soon enough, the smoke began moving creating images within it.

"Our world is filled with magic, some say it is because of the spirits, good or -"

"That's right! you can all thank ME for making the world such an awesome place!" Soon after the voice was heard, a spirit of chaos also known as a draconequus, appeared through the smoke with fangs to bare, scaring the children.

"- tragic…" I rolled my eyes. "Friends this is Ishwa, with threatening looks regardless, she is harmless." They still were a bit cautious, but they relaxed again.

"Humph!" Ishwa whined, faking indignation, she levitated to the back of the crowd and laid outstretched, her leopard body was so long I could still see the end of her gaboon viper tail with lion fur on the tip from one side, and her quagga head with a long mane and gazelle horns from the other.

"So, like I was saying before Ishwa came delaying…" Ishwa smirked, beckoning me to continue with her hyena paw. "They are of different kind and size, to deal with them you must be wise, some are lesser spirits, weak and small, they cannot be seen at all, others are greater spirits, big and strong, they usually are the reason something went wrong." I tilted my head to Ishwa, making the children laugh.

"Some are good, some are vile, having one as a friend, can be worth your while." Again, I tilted my head to Ishwa, making her blush and the children giggle even more at her.

"Some other spirits are just awesome incarnate, like me!" Striking a pose, deviating the attention away from her light blush.

"But sir, what about the stars?" A filly asked, raising her right hoof.

"A good question, you see, the stars are home to as many spirits as can be, they are the reason this story, I can weave, I and the stars are akin, but for now, let the story begin!" Cheering followed my speech.
