Gotta go fast!

Spriggan and Re’em were walking over the beaches of the shimmering shore. The tiny girl perched upon the unicorn’s back, her long cheetah-like tail twitching lazily over his pale flank. His own lion-like tail doing similarly. Prose rode the air currents high above them, with her companions she wouldn’t catch any flack from family for being alone. Spriggan didn’t think there would be any kind of amusement out here today, and she wondered if she could gather up some more sea lettuce when she heard Prose’s call alerting the terrestrial pair to someone else’s presence.

Re’em looked over his shoulder at her curiously, his caution obvious in his expression. Spriggan smiled at him and slid down the soft fur of his belly to where her delicate paws held her weight again. Pointing his long ears towards the tiny Carpathian girl as she trotted forward far enough to see the stranger dashing over the sand.

Inspiration hit her and Spriggan ran forward, aiming to race alongside the girl. A determined look appearing on her previously innocent features as she put on a burst of speed, silently initiating a challenge.

"Spriggan Carpathius"
