The short answer, one that most will give, is 'a winged unicorn.' or unicorn/pegasus. Those who give the issue some thought would add that alicorns have the magic of all the pony races. However, the question itself tends to cloud the real meaning of what it is to be an alicorn.

This is something that I've been thinking over for a while. It's pretty clear that I like Toola Roola and Starsong. And I came up with some ideas regarding them. Still somewhat underdeveloped though, maybe someone would care to use them.

What's the proper protocol for conversations in a foreign language? Would it be better to use the language and include a translation at the end of the chapter, or should I write the conversation in English, and add an indication that it's in another language?
