Fern darted around the vendors and fair-goers, never letting her sight stray from the pastel gates which promised all sorts of wonderful creatures. "HURRY TALLULAH!" she called to her cousin, and not waiting for the older girl to catch up, raced into the Magical Petting Zoo.

Ooooh! Who to visit first!? There were llamas and nifflers and - Fern gasped with delight - winged horses and unicorns! The 11-year-old allowed herself a moment of jumping up and down in excitement before relaxing her whole body and slowly walking towards the winged horses' enclosure. "Hi," she said softly, approaching a friendly looking Abraxan from the side.

As the child neared, the horse perked it's ears and sniffed the back of her hand when she stretched her arm through the bars. "You're so pretty," Fern crooned, admiring its golden coat and the white blaze that matched its mane, "What's your name, huh?"
