“You Quirlicorns sure are interesting these days,” Peabody said, watching the pair from the tree. The meowing had been quite amusing, and the other one had brought… a picnic? Well who was he to say no, really?
Peabody hopped down from the tree, looking over the mess of food and the two frazzled looking Quirlicorns.
“What, cat got your tongue?” Peabody said, with a snicker.
“You… you can talk!” the mare sputtered out.
“Well yes, so can you!” Peabody grinned.
“I mean…. Our language, not just cat language,” the mare said.
“I’m actually proficient in several languages, thank you very much. Even whale!” Peabody replied, flicking his tail.
“Whale?” Loki perked up at the mention. “Me too!” he replied, and proceeded to say something in a strange mix of elongated noises and what almost sounded like honking.
The mare gave him a bit of a look before looking back at the cat. “So uh, who are you?”
“Name’s Peabody,” Peabody replied. “Pleased to make your acquaintance!”
“Well, I’m Difèrne,” the mare replied politely, “and this is Loki. We were sent to investigate… well, uh…. You!”
“Now that we are all friends and that, how do you two feel about a little adventure?” Peabody said, with a grin.
Difèrne looked a bit uncertain, but Loki nodded energetically.
“Where to?” Loki asked.
“A magical place, where all your dreams come true,” Peabody said, with a grin. “A place where even your deities have forgotten, a land of wonder. My home, in fact.”
“I dunno Loki, that sounds like something a….” Difèrne’s voice dropped to a whisper, “creep would say.”
“We will be fine,” Loki said, “Let’s go!”
Peabody grinned as a portal opened, and Loki jumped right through.
“Oh… heck, wait for me, Loki!” Difèrne called out as she gathered up some of the picnic and followed on his heels.
Peabody watched the pair go through, rolling a muffin toward himself and nibbling on it.
“This will be fun.”
Upon coming through the portal's other side it was clear that this was not part of the Quirliverse everyone knew and loved. What was this strange place? Everything was different. Trees hung from the sky upside down, rivers flowed backwards, the grass came in all sorts of colors, but green was not one of them.
This was definitely a strange, strange place. Confusion was written on everyone’s face and before anyone had a chance to speak or ask questions about it all a small voice rang out from the distance.
“Visitors?” “Here?” “In Entropy?” “Hi, my name is Asani.” a tiny little Quirlicorn barely 4hh high came frolicking towards them.
“Are you guys Quirlicorns?” without skipping a beat they continued. “Well, it doesn’t really matter anyway.” “You’re here and now we can all have some fun.” A mischievous smile plastered across the small Quirlicorn's face, they smirked and magic swirled all around before changing the surroundings entirely. This new place now looked like the regular Quirliverse.
Could this little Quirlicorn perhaps be a long lost Deity? Is this a new region? Everyone was wondering what was happening yet before anyone could ask the little one answered.
“Yes, I’m a deity, and this is the Entropy region.” “Pretty awesome, huh?”
“My friend Peabody told me you guys would be coming, but I wasn’t sure I believed him.” “It’s been so long since we’ve had visitors, I thought perhaps all the Quirlicorns had died.”
The little Deity perked up. “Now that you’re here, why don’t you check out my region.” “We have a lot to offer, and if you find a corner you particularly like I’ll even let you keep it as long as you promise to come back to visit again.” And without another word Asani turned and walked back off into the distance. This new region still looked like any other, but certainly there were other strange things happening beneath the visage. What strange things would everyone encounter in Entropy?
