Autumn blaze once stumbled upon an alien in the woods. Unlike any sentient she had seen or heard of, the wanderer was making his way through the forest toward the kirin village.

Naturally sociable Autumn could not miss the opportunity to meet someone new and interesting. How many stories can be heard, how many can be tell the most!
The counter was not averse to chat, which only pleased Kirill. She was interested in everything about the unusual creature. Where did he come from? How did you find your way over the peaks? Why was he wearing clothes so ridiculously mottled? What is this strange thing that looks like two planks fixed at an angle on a bar of wood and connected by a string?

And at the same time she and autumn were telling the story. Of the kirin and their manners, the places where they live and their peculiarities, the village and the Stream of Silence.

The wanderer was amused. He was smiling as he spoke to autumn, and he was even relieved to have the strange thing he called a crossbow slung over his shoulder.

The hot conversation both did not notice that was not the edge of the kirin village. Autumn found her way back purely on the machine, to which the traveller was only too glad. When he asked her where she could pitch a tent to wouldn't disturb anyone, kirin snorted and invited him into her house.

The traveler was sincerely grateful kininase and he volunteered to help with the evening combing the mane. Autumn found no reason to refuse, and very quickly fell asleep, lulled by the strokes and the rustle of a brush in her mane.

The next morning, ririn found that the traveler is not home. But he left on the table an amazing portrait of Autumn herself, as if woven from threads of light.

However, the stranger quickly turned up on the square in the village, where he just sat and admired the nature, surrounded by a small group of curious kirin.
