As you walk on, Kaytara speaks,

"This forest is full of animals, and because they are so friendly, some can be adopted."

You feel hope.

"Does it mean I can adopt someone?"

Kaytara looks at you and says,

"Yes. But only if the animal wishes it. You cannot take away an animal that doesn't like you."

"What creatures are for adoption here?" you say.

"There are some rodents, horses, pegasi, nightmares, Lizzementals..."

"What?" you exclaim.

"Lizzementals. They're flying elemental lizards. You must know the rules though:

1. You must have a kid-safe, nice, quiet site, not a list of how to murder your parents, and not the naughty boys rock either.

2. You must read the info on the adoption pages, it says a lot about how to maintain your animals.

3. You must take care of the creatures you adopt.

4. You cannot say you've made the graphics, that would be stealing, and Kat will ban you off your pets and put you onto the shamed ones' list.

5. You must upload the images onto your own server. No bandwidth stealing!

6. To get off this page, click here after reading this page to the end.

7. Do not alter the graphics' appearances. As for resizing, rotating, and others similar effects, you have the permission.

8. Give credit to Kat, who made the graphics, and provide a visible, working link to this site.

9. If you adopt one of the animals, you must put them up on a site. Kat wants them a better fate than to wither away on some dusty old hard drive.

Tip: In order to make you animals' pages nicer for the pets, you can also take some Accessories.

Note: You can breed any type of creature you adopt here, and with every one you have to remove the babies from your page a month after they are born, and also delete the file itself. But note that when the baby is born you will receive a 'photo' of it, one that you don't have to delete.

You walk on and on. Suddenly you feel an urge to ask,

"Do animals also do magic here?"

Kaytara looks at you and says,

"What? No. Why are you asking?"

"I saw a baby bird and tried to put it in its nest, but it just disappeared."

Kaytara says,

"There was no bird. I was just testing you."

"Testing?!" you exclaim. Kaytara remains cool.

"Yes. The Black Stripe Forest, the thicket you went through, is meant to keep the wrong people out of here, but some still get through. I usually test them to see if the land can trust them.

Kaytara says,

"There are also secrets here. For example, if you're lucky and careful you might find the Secret Garden. You can get a rare creature and an award if you find it and e-mail Kat how to get there, to prove that you know."

"Do you know where it is?" you ask. Kaytara chuckles.

"I know where everything in the land is. Of course, I don't have the right to tell you."

You walk in silence for a little while. Meanwhile you try to remember some landmarks in case you get lost, but you can't. The whole forest seems exactly the same. You ask Kaytara,

"How do you navigate here?"

"I have lived here for long. I know this forest by heart, as do all its inhibitors. But there is landmark not far from here - a stone with the map engraved into it. If you're lost, just follow some colourful flowers like this one, they'll lead you to the map. You look down and see what appears to be a shining diamond on a stem.
