The creature just stood there, staring at Emerald with its large eyes that's full of life. Emerald slowly took a step towards it, Pegasus still remained calm, then, Emerald hopped on cautiously and carefully. Just as she sat, the Pegasus spread its huge, beautiful wings and took off. Legend says that Emerald and Pegasus went on many adventures, and many believed that it was real. Because many have seen a winged-horse flying in the night and carrying a person with
