ARELI
Do you still believe in love, I wonder?

Well, this was new. Though she had managed to explore much of Helovia by now, Areli had rarely wandered this way. The dense forests to the east of her home had seemed foreboding, and on most of her expeditions she preferred to investigate the territories that bordered the Falls and the Edge. Having grown up in both forests, it comforted her to see their familiar landscapes at the end of the day. Wander as she may, the girl liked knowing that there was a home to return to when her adventures concluded.

However, today was different. Perhaps it was a touch of spring fever that had caused this restlessness, but this morning she had decided to go east. Rumors had been circulating about a strange new land, and she was curious enough to brush past the apprehension that swirled around her as she entered the dark wood. At first, the forest had been as she had expected: shadows seemed to harbor monsters, and every snapped twig had sent her rushing forward on the deer trail she was following. Sensing her unease, Bee had whined until the girl had picked the golden puppy up by the scruff of her neck and set her atop her narrow back. But then the deer run had widened into a well-tread track, and Areli had discovered the way to the Threshold.

The Threshold was much more pleasant than the Deep Forest through which she had traveled; the trees here were not as close together and enough sunlight filtered through the canopy to allow wildflowers to grow in the gaps. At the sight of the fresh blooms, Bee squirmed and tumbled down from her tenuous perch. Areli giggled as she watched the wolf pup dart around madly, snapping and yipping at the swaying flowers.

She was so caught up in watching the little wolf that at first she did not notice that she was not alone. It was only when Bee stopped her endless chase from bud to bud and trotted towards the newcomer that Areli looked up to see the light form ahead. Lit by the early morning rays, she looked heavenly. Drawn in by the beauty, the filly followed the puppy. “Hello,” she greeted the white mare when she was within earshot. “Are you…are you an angel?”
