With his step through the glass wall, Kahlua hummed softly and looked around her. Most of the trees were green still, the autumn air having little to no effect on the evergreens of the Edge, but dotted here and there, a few of them turn brilliant red or orange, yellow or purple hues. The rainbow of colors all around is enough to bring joy to weary traveler or a lonely woman wandering in the dark. Even he moonlight cannot hide the rich tapestry that is spread out before them, each vibrant color cutting through the darkness. It was no wonder she loved the place. It was beautiful. And their goal of peace... It finalized everything in the mare's mind and she knew without hesitation that this was where she belonged. Always.

The fields. Kahlua knew them well and for a moment, her face twisted up in a lay of confusing emotions. Her very first experience there had been marred, a monstrous stallion that had attacked her for (in her eyes) no reason at all. And she had come home mangled, bloody, just a wreck of a woman. But then there were good things too. She had found the moon amulet she wears around her neck there, she had found her friend Apodis there after a long separation, and other such adventures up the mountain side. In the end, did the good outweigh the bad? Kahlua still hadn't decided, so in the end she just agreed. “Oh yes, it's very pretty!”

Of course, it seems that all newcomers want to know about whats terrible in the land. A fascination with the morbid, or perhaps just a good sense of security and danger. Kahlua hadn't really asked about anything she should be watching out for. No, she had marched into the Edge with a look of determination, proclaiming that she would become craftswoman. She hadn't known what she had been asking then, hadn't understood what she was getting herself into, but she knew that she was determined to rise up in the ranks. And rise up she had, though perhaps more because she demanded attention than because she was useful, at first.

Regardless, the woman-child was happy enough to chatter on about any sort of nonsense, and so she chattered on. “Well, there are racist unicorns to the North... they invaded us, so we built a wall, but not all the unicorns are bad.” She was trying her hardest to remember Kaj's lesson. Not all unicorns are bad. She was not racist. She would not let herself be racist. “And the Gods try to protect us from evil, but I think sometimes they are overwhelemed...” She trailed off for a minute, unsure if she should tell him, but in the end she decided to just go for it. “For months, Helovia was completely dark and the sun never rose. And there were monsters. I saw one.” I tried to attack one and just ended up hurting myself. “But I think that's all behind us now...” She hoped so. She wasn't sure she could stand another expanse of time like the first one.

“Mostly, it's safe. The Dragon's Throat to the south are our allies.” She added at the end, a sort of message that there was still good on the earth.
