First Encounter with Snow/or Person: Rarely do we get visitors to the island. Keramarin was perfect for my kind, but not many others it seemed. True, I had seen many insects, some deer, and a predatory animal or two, but nothing much out of the way of natural or expected. So you can imagine my surprise and utter shock when a new kind of animal appeared one day. They came by way of a floating vessel, large enough to hold the five of them. From my viewpoint behind the brush, I could make out two adults and three pups, all of them wide-eyed and seemingly excited. They pulled the boat around to a cove which I had never explored before. It held a small cabin-like home, which I could only assume was for these new animals. Once their vessel was safely docked, the pups instantly ran for the cabin. They reminded me of my specie’s young, racing for no apparent reason. That’s when one of them spotted my bright red eyes and proceeded to point me out and shout words which sound like “Horsy!” I took that as my cue and ran, though no matter how far I got, something kept pulling me back to that cabin.
I waited ‘till nightfall to return, quietly creeping up behind the cabin. As soon as it came into view, my eyes were blasted with a mirage of colors. Artificial lights hung from the roof of the cabin, along with a few bright figures which appeared to resemble deer, and a red figure that seemed to be shaped like the new animals, but a bit bigger in the stomach and with white hairs upon his face. The scene before me only drove me further in my exploration. I slowly crept from the brush, my ears perked and rotating about my head. Once I deemed it safe, I walked up to the lit figures. I bumped them with my nose several times, gaining no response whatsoever. Giving a frustrated snort, I began to sniff around the place. I had gotten so involved in my sniffing that I did not notice the door to the cabin crack open ever so slightly. Though I did hear the three tiny gasps. My head whipped around to see the three pups staring at me. None of them moved, all of the appalled by my appearance. Then the tiniest pup emerged, slowly walking up to my with her hand outstretched. Being approached by such a tiny thing did not scare me, so I stood still as she walked up to me and touched my shoulder. Her eyes lit up brighter than the lighting on the cabin, and she had her teeth bared in a odd, kind way.
“Horsy!”
