INTRODUCTION
Silence as you take a morning hike through a small forest every so often pushing out the bamboo to make a path for yourself. The only thing you can hear is the delicate chatter of many birds whom readily sing their lovesongs to their mates. The air around you smells of fresh wilderness, moss, bamboo, wild flowers and the every so often scent of dung left behind by an animal. it is mid-day by now, you have walked for an hour or two and decide to turn back... upon looking around from where you came from you notice you have lost yourself.
•Hello, you seem to be lost• a tiny voice giggles behind you. You turn around and no one is there but a space of rocks and some overgrown plants.
•No silly, I'm over here• and you feel delicate teeth tug at the bottom of your shirt. Turning around you let out a little gasp. There standing before you with little streaks of light seeping through the canopy you see sparkling scales... at first you think a dragon but when you squint your eyes closer you see a horse like figure with flowing yellow and blue hair.
•J-Just what are you? how do you know I'm lost?• you blurt out adoring the two antlers placed on her head.
•I am a Qi'lin Uni~! and how could I not? everyone with that bewildered look on their face must be lost you sillyhead• she giggles.
•Here let me guide you back where you came from, you know I'm very goodluck !• she smirks a bit standing up straight. You give her a confused look as you observe her appearance, a few dark scales and red fur, green hooves and antlers and quite curly yellow-blue hair.
•Oh~!? you don't seem to have any idea what a Qi'lin Uni is do you!... follow me to my little temple and I'll tell you a bit about myself you lucky lucky LUCKY person• she walks off into the forest and you decide to follow... I mean she knows the way back... right?
ABOUT
Making your way through the foilage pushing it out while you follow the mysterious Uni you see before you a asian styled temple. You take notice of its black roof rimmed with gold and little statues of Qi'lins at its entrance made of jade and all kinds of rare rocks. There are great stone pillars lining the entrance each olding up a little roof. The doors temple itself is a beautiful bright red.
•This place can only be found if I lead you here. Quite magical is it not?• She smiles at you.

Qi'lins
• What exactly is a Qi'lin you ask? well let give you an idea• she says softly to you motioning you to sit down on the entrance steps of the giant temple. You sit down and start to listen to her little speech.
• Qi'lins go by many names, the most used ones being 'Chinese Unicorn', Kirin and Ki'lin. We are peaceful creatures who are said to live by someone of great power(Not quite someone of great power for me so I hang around this temple in honour of me tehehe). We are gracefull and may walk on water and the earth with great care to never thread on any living thing. We can walk on grass without ever trampling a single blade, thats how gentle we are. We live up to 1,000years of age•
• The personality of the Qi'lins are fierce(tehehe!) yet very gentle and loving. Qi'lins are kind but when a pure person, one who does not do evil is in danger by someone who causes harm we are ferocious and spit fire. Qi'lins powers may vary.•
•Qi'lins are symbols of goodluck and power. In our honour dances are preformed depicting us with fast, powerful strokes of the head. Qi'lin dances are regarded as often one of the hardest dances to preform due to the weight of the head... uum... do you have any questions?•
Thinking quite hard you sit up a bit finding you found one question you'd like to ask.
•How old are you if you live for 1,000 years ?•
•Well... I think I'm 350 years only~! is that not young for a Qi'lin? a lot of us have gone to our graves in the past thousand years tehehe, quite magical how I came into existance• she giggles.
• Wha-what? if your species has been missing for that long how did you get bor-•
•Tehe! come follow me in~! I can answer that question easily. Here let me tell you my story• and with that said she runs off into the temple itself. Sighing and picking yourself up you follow in.
STORY
The inside of the temple is an amazing sight to see. When you walk in the walls are old yet they still hold the many tapestries of ink painting on their walls. The paintings are of Qi'lins and every so often a dragon or a fenghuang.
•Look over here tehehe!• Jia giggles and you walk over looking into a small bottle on a little altar which holds black and yellow eggshell pieces.
•These are from my eggshell. I'll tell you my story so please make yourself comfortable• so with that you sit down and cross your legs sitting on the dusted red carpet.
•Long long ago lived a wise king. Qi'lins were plenty then and they lived not far from the king. He was a wise and generous man who loved his people. This king was a strong leader of love but soon enough that would lead his people to their end.•
•The king was lonely and had no wife because she died from an unfortunate and unknown illness. He vowed to never marry another again and he was lonely. The Qi'lins knowing he was a good man decided to leave a gift at the foot of his bed before he went to sleep.•
•That was my egg, a Qi'lin egg, it was a shell made of the finest black jade with little golden speckles on it. He was thrilled and at once knew he was blessed by the Qi'lins to have a companion, a pet to keep him company untill he joined his wife.•
•The king placed the egg in a warm basket beside his bed and went to sleep. Everynight before going to bed he would tell the egg about his day and his hopes for the future. I was going to pop out of my egg in 3more weeks but an unfortunate event happened, one that would change everything.•
•Another kingdome declared war on the king and his people because a gaurd from his palace who was the last son of the other king went and told him of the egg. The other king wanted that egg for himself but my keeper refused to give me up. He refused because a Qi'lin came to him one night and slipped a piece of jade into his hand and etched in it the words told him I was only his and would die if I was not born in the presence of someone pure.•
•Being a loving man he did not know how to go to war. He designed a little army but it was not very well. They lacked the physical training even though their spirits were high. The day came in which we were attacked and he could not the incoming intruders out. They came in the town and started storming through the village taking everything they pleased.•
•Feeling much grief he knew everyone was going to die including himself except he toke one last step to save one life. That life was mine. Sneaking out of the palace with a bottle of white paint and salt he ran into the forest. Deep deep into the forest he came upon a very high tree. He climbed the tree using all the strength he had in his old bones and decided to put me in a birds nest.•
•Old legends tell of salt mixed with the finest paints preserving anything that was painted over with it. White being the purest color and the simplest of all eggs he mixed the salt and paint together and sloppily painted over my egg. I would not be born but I would not die either.•
•The king did this because he hoped I would have a chance of someone pure finding my egg and that I would hatch out. Once he was done he placed my egg carefully in the nest and climbed down the tree... at that moment one of the soldier spotted him and he started to run, to turn them away from my egg. When he was somewhat out of sight he threw the evidence of salty paint into a near marsh and kept running. Eventually the king was caught and taken away. The egg was never found so he was killed.•
•Many years passed and no one found my egg. I was preserved in a thin layer of white. The Qi'lins started dying out themselfves. They could not have new generations of Qi'lins because they had no one to serve, no one was power was pure enough to have us... so we began to part one by one.
centuries passed and I had not been found untill one day there was an earthquake. The earth shaked and my overgorwn nest fell from high up into a river. My egg eventually got caught out from the nest and many vines and floated along the river. The paint being made of salt decided to wither away and soon my black jade egg was out in the open. The river slowed down and became shallow and soon my egg was sitting right in the middle an inch or two underneath the clear waters among pebbles.•
•An beautiful creature which you call a 'Biyako' was skimming along the river when he saw the black object in the water. More out of curiousity he stepped in and fished out the the oval egg thinking it was a fine piece of jewlerry. This Biyako was very fond of smooth jade rocks. Soon after he noticed this was not a big piece of stone, it was much lighter but it was my egg.•
•Rolling me through the forest to his little den thinking I was a bird in which would hatch and find pretty stones for his collection hee decided to sit on my egg. He sat day and night mewing at my egg and licking it clean from time to time. Now let me tell you, animals unlike humans can be pure because they live according to nature. This Biyako was a fine spirit to neauture my egg.•
•3weeks passed and I started to hatch, pushing out at the shell with my little hooves. When I had hatched the biyako was surprised. He licked me clean from the goo inside the egg. I didnt have any antlers yet but as soon as he saw my jade hooves and scales he knew exactly what I was. From that day on I followed the biyako but soon enough I was too big to fit in the den... then one day I met another of my kind, he was just like me except instead of being red his coat was more yellow. Nothing was said but I had a feeling in my heart that I had to go somewhere...•
•He leaped away and soon I was on my own, slinking through the forest I cam across this temple... and then I knew it was made just for me... I mean a Qi'lin has to have a place of their own dont they? Well I lead the biyako here and this is where we live currently. My 'biyako' didnt have a name till I stumbled close by to the city and saw some foreigners pointing to a few bamboo sticks and say "Daenau"(대나무)... hence I named him Daenau... or 'bamboo' in Korean. There are not a lot of Qi'ins now, its every few years that we see another of our own species. Its okay though since I enjoy feeling the happiness I get when I see one of my own. Well thats my story. I hope it interested you.•
