Roxanne changed quickly, her eyes shining with excitement. "You look beautiful in anything, my fair princess," Jaxon complimented her as she stepped out. He took her to the stable, where twenty horses of different breeds awaited. There was Sugarplum, a beautiful chestnut mare with a white blaze on her forehead, Noir, a sleek black stallion with a star-shaped marking on his nose, a proud Arabian named Zephyr, a gentle giant of a Shire horse named Thunder, and several others, each with their unique markings and personalities.

I study hard so that these lessons are not overly long. My favorite classes are the ones outside. I take riding lessons from Olf, the groom. The castle keeps horses, but also keeps a dozen Sleipner beasts, the eight legged horses that some royalty ride. Sleipner’s can only be ridden by one person. They are incredibly loyal and don’t tolerate any other rider, with the exception of Birgir. He can ride anything.

I couldn't help but giggle along with them, including Georgiana caught up in the infectious energy of the moment. The horses galloped with incredible grace, their hooves kicking up the soft earth in a flurry of movement. They seemed to glide over the ground, defying gravity for a fleeting moment. The thundering sound of their hooves reverberated through the setting, heightening the intensity of the race.

Pedro asked. “He will come for us too," Elijah replied and all of a sudden his throat felt dry. * I am so fucking exhausted but honestly it's quite fun doing this. All the horses seemed to like me, especially Speedy and I can't remember how many times I have pet him. Such a beautiful creature. And oh their dungs ain't as bad as Marcel made it to be. They ain't as stinky as those of dogs and cats but damn they are big. Like very massive and thick!!

 ~CASSANDRA~ I was dragged by the horse of those mentally ill people. What kind of men treat a lady like this? I will make sure they go in for making me go through this. My wrist was hurting so badly because the rope was tightly tied, I'm already weak from walking and it's night fall already. They were moving slowly, I mean the horses.... well they are the ones that control the horses. I can feel my wrist on fire, it's hurting badly and my legs swollen from walking.

His voice was so smooth and clear, it was mesmerizing that I almost melted. "How rude of us! Allow us to introduce ourselves first," stated the she-centaur. "My name is Dalisay. I am an Anggitay; half woman, half horse. My blessing to you is a horse's stamina and speed. Who will accept this blessing?" she continued. Without a second thought, I shoved Lowan in front of her. "Understood," Dalisay said as she bent down and touched Lowan's forehead with her pearly white horn. Her horn emitted a radiant glow that enveloped Lowan for a few seconds until his body absorbed it.

'Welcome, sir,' 'Uhm, the animals are looking good.' 'Yes, it's their free day.' 'Won't the animals escape? Like those horses are straying away.' I said, pointing to some horses running off. 'Horses have a high sense of loyalty. No matter how far they wander, they will always return to their master, especially when they are treated well.' He replied smilingly. 'And, there are fences around, didn't you pass a gate?' The woman chipped in with a nasty tone, eyeing my outfit with disdain.

Cheryl praised, hugging the horse's neck. Rusty was an intelligent horse. He recognized Cheryl immediately, even though they had only met once before. Another horse might have thrown her off in this situation because they felt uncomfortable, but not Rusty. He continued to move calmly. His legs moved fast, but his body remained steady. However, there was one thing Cheryl didn't realize. There was a hole and a tree branch blocking their path. Rusty lost control. He stumbled and fell to the ground. Cheryl was thrown off, rolling several times until her back hit the grapevine fence. Her head hit a stone, causing her to wince in pain. But it wasn't her head that was the problem; it was Rusty who
