Having found Hamaliel in the Rotunda and guided him home to the Edge, the Sunshower had been more than eager to return to the place to explore the beauty. The draped curtains and pillars of rock, the stained glass reflecting its image down on the floor and the wrought iron holding everything together... The queen had not and still did not think of it as a symbol of unity, though perhaps it would do her well to come to that conclusion. After all, her very life centered around the idea of creating unity between the herds. If she figured it out, could this Rotunda serve as a symbol of hope for the movement? Ah, but the minds of fools do not so often wander to philosophy.

Bounding chaotically through the grasses, the queen was quite a sight as she closed the distance between herself and the structure, gasping aloud when she saw that something new had been added to the Rotunda. A sphinx- a creature the queen was quite unfamiliar with and that all at once made her afraid and awed. Stopping abruptly, the queen wandered around to the front of the great cat, blue eyes finding the creature's lavender ones for a moment, before the girl felt like she could no longer hold her gaze. Dropping her blue eyes to the ground, she was just about to speak from trembling hooves when she heard a voice in her head.

What am I? Kahlua sighed. She hated riddles and was miserably poor at philosophy and other such endeavors of the mind. Still, as she had come to learn, such mysterious events often meant magic, and the queen could do with some support in such matters. She frowned. Trying to make the gears in her head turn was like trying to quench a forest fire with a cup- it was fruitless endeavor that left her only more frustrated than fulfilled. Still, if not a smart horse, she was at least stubborn, and so she spoke the only thing she could actually think of.

“Peace,” she spouted, though perhaps it was not entirely true with the riddle. She could not think of a time when there really, truly had been peace, but there were always those talking of making it happen. It was not something that could ever be seen but it was something that she strove to reach. Perhaps not everybody wanted peace, so it likely wasn't the answer the creature was looking for, but the queen's soprano had already filled the air and there was no turning back now. She waited patiently, still shaking, wondering whether this creature would turn out to be friend or foe.
