Ferghas' Adventures
Ferghas wasn't sure what made him wander down this path but when he did, the answer became clear. He had heard stories of Sueno's Stone. As he got closer his fur stood up and he felt a warmth in his ears. As he moved around the stone he could feel his body vibrate ever so subtly. In a moment of instinct, he let out a loud Moo at the stone and instantly the shape of a Highland Coo formed on the stone next to a water fall, he looked closely just before it reverted back to it's original design. "how interesting" thought Ferghas and he walked away, happy that he had followed this path.
