Sky Pillar

You find yourself standing beside a sparkling stream, the sound of bird calls fill the air with their sweet music and the gentle trickle of the water as it meanders over the jeweled rocks stirs your soul with a strange sense of longing.
In front of you, you see one road, leading right. It leads away from the stream and vanishes into a blue gold mist on the horizon.
You step forward and there, partly hidden by a tree, is a sign post, atop it the strangest creature you have ever seen.
"Hello" you say in your friendliest voice, hoping not to scare the beast.
"Greetings traveller" it replies in a tone that tingles in your ears like silver bubbles in a glass of wine.
"Can you help me" you ask. "I am new to these parts and know not which road to take"
The creature smiles a sweet smile and moves its head close to yours.
"Tis a choice that only you can make" it whispers and turns its head towards the blue gold mist
"That way leads to the land of my trainer, a mysterious place it be, filled with magic and wonder." "My name is Solaurea. I will try to meet up with you sometime. Goodbye."
With those words, it smiles once more and flies off into the skies. You watch it leave. It is time for you to move on. Which way will you go?
