We had formed a Greek omega around the deer and therefore it ran exactly in Anilec's claws, which had been hiding behind a bush. We brought the deer home and I went back to the rock and watched the others. When Anilec and Jael suddenly disappeared, I went looking for them. Although Jack had forbidden it, I walked along the edge of the forest and searched everything for my sister and cousin. I passed a small village and suddenly got hungry when I smelled the freshly baked breads of the bakery. I turned into a human being again and went to the village. In front of the bakery was a small table, which was heaped with fresh pastries. Behind it was a girl whom I almost did not recognize, as long as I had not seen her. Alice just turned her back on me and wanted to leave, so I said, "Not seen for a long time, huh?" She quickly turned around and looked at me with big eyes. She sounded delighted when she began to speak, "Arika? I haven't seen you here for years! How are you doing? And are Jael and Anilec also somewhere here? I just wanted to go to the barn and see Loyola. Are you coming along?" I had to laugh. I had completely forgotten that Alice was so full of joy and kindness. I nodded and we went to the stable on the outskirts of the village. When I stepped into the barn, the smell of hay and horses immediately shot into my nose and I briefly felt dizzy. Suddenly Alice looked much younger than before and Anilec and Jael were standing next to her. All three turned their backs on me and looked at the foal that had just been born. The mother of the foal had unfortunately died at birth earlier. Alice had tears in her eyes and Anilec comforted her. I took a closer look at the foal and noticed that it had feathers on its back. I took a closer look, and realized that these feathers were not just any feathers, but wings! I looked at Alice again and said to her, "Look at the foal! Immediately!" Alice turned to the foal a little confused and still with tears in her eyes and gasped. "It has a horn! And, are they wings?!" I pushed forward and now saw the horn too. I had to blink, and there loyola was standing in front of me. No longer a small foal, which repeatedly stumbled over its own wings, but a large, beautiful and graceful mare with a shiny horn on her head and huge, white wings folded on the side. Loyola greeted me with happy howling and I had to laugh again. Apparently, Alice's joy had passed to her. I stroked Loyola's nostrils and Alice gave her an apple to nibble on. "It's probably grown a bit since you and the others last saw it," Alice said. I heard hoof trappel in front of the stable and looked out the door. Outside, Foxy just came on her stormy grey horse, hurricane ridden. Aninna ran next to her and had to be careful not to accidentally step on the cat or dog playing around her legs. I recognized Nico immediately. The small, black cat played catch with the brown Labrador, brownie. Apparently, Nico was just catcher, because Brownie suddenly ran directly towards me. I was able to dodge just in time not to be overrun by her. When Nico discovered me, he jumped joyfully into my arms. The small white circle around his head had become even more "luminous" since I last saw him. I let Nico back down to the floor and ran up into the attic of the stable. As I ran past Alice, I quickly said, "It was nice to see you again. Hope to see you again soon. Bring the others next time. Bye!" I climbed the ladder and scurried behind a pyramid of hay bales. The small flap I was looking for was still hidden under the stairs to the stable roof. I opened it and climbed through the small hole into the room, which used to be one of our secret hiding places. I concentrated and turned into a red tiger cat with a red glow. In the past, the others had always joked that I was the little devil, and Nico the little angel.
