[OOC: Yaroslav arrives from Jones Public House “An Ill-Assorted Company” thread]

Coming out of the mist Yaroslav was faced with a large iron fence, stretching all the way along the eastern side of the patch. However it wasn’t the fence that held his attention, but the creatures that he saw behind it…

“Is there such a thing as an ugly breed of unicorn?” thought Yaroslav, staring through the fence.

But, on second thoughts the only thing that this animal had in common with the unicorn that he saw in the previous patch was the large horn that seemed to grow upwards out of its nose.

“Ferocious beast”, noted Yaroslav, with just a hint of admiration. But why would anyone keep such animals. Were they valued for their meat, or skin?

He suddenly remembered the name of Trubshawe, the man who, according to Jennifer Jones wanted to breed unicorns. Maybe this was his farm? This place may be worth another visit, in future.

Yaroslav proceeded north, strolling alongside the fence. He clearly was not in a hurry and often stopped to admire the strange creatures he could see through the iron railings of the Zoo.

[ OOC: Unless someone in the patch becomes interested in him, Yaroslav will go through the northern mists in about 24h RL (i.e. during my next lunchbreak;) ]

Getting to the northern mists took longer than he thought. From time to time it was simply necessary to stop and look at different animals to try to figure out what they were, even though often Yaroslav simply had no words to describe them.

But finally here was the northern border. Yaroslav looked at the wall of mist in front of him and took a deep breath. Now he just hoped that he’ll be allowed to cross the fog and find his forest on the other side. Anxiously, he plunged into the mist.
