Equine Impact: The Outlander Who Caught the Wind

As you walked around, picking up some materials as usual, you saw a big shadow going in your direction, you looked up to see a huge, blue and violet dragon, bigger than a whole ship!

"Wow! What is that!?" I exclaimed. "There's something huge, in the sky! It's headed towards the heart of the forest. We must proceed with caution."

Your journey to Hiersindwir has been paused. You and I ran to the forest the same dragon flew to. It took you a long time because of cliffs, rivers, and small hills. Soon, you and I walked quietly in the Flüstern Woods.

"Huh? Look at that!" I said, pointing at a direction. Both of you immediately hid behind a tree, and watched the dragon. You spotted a young mare, offering a hand to the dragon. The mare was light blue in color and colorful mane with more of cyan in her strands, with frilly white top with a leather midsection corset, along with along with blue pants with gold embroidery, with a cloth and bag around her waist. She has her hair tied in a ponytail and white and blue cape splitted into half.

" ...Don't be afraid. ...It's alright now, I'm back."

"Is she talking... to a dragon?" I said. One spot of your clothes glow with your power."Oh?". Suddenly, the dragon roar at the mare.

"Who's there!?" scolded the mare. The mare glow cyan and teleported out of the scene, leaving the dragon roaring wildly as you and I watched. The dragon immediately flew and left.

"That was close! Deco almost got blown away! Luckily Deco managed to grab hold of your hair! Thanks."

"Good thing the dragon didn't notice us and you didn't pull my hair out." you responded.

"Just what was that? Deco thought we were gonna get eaten! It definitely has something to do with that weirdo who was talking to the dragon..."

"I can't believe dragons exist in this world..." you said.

"Yeah, Deco gets why you're worried..."

"...Is talking to dragons normal?"

I crossed her arms. "Of course not!". I turned to something in the same spot the dragon was left.

"Oh? What's that? There's some kind of shiny red thingy on the big rock over there...Let's go take a closer look." Deco said as I flew to the object, while you climbed to the rock."

"Be careful! Deco doesn't have a good feeling about this..."

As you climbed up, both of you and I looked closely at a tear-shaped crimson crystal.

"Deco's never seen a stone like this before, so Deco can't tell what it is. All Deco knows is that it's dangerous. Best we put it away for now." I said. You carefully grabbed the gem and stored it.

"Okay, we've got it! Now let's get out of here."
