*The four knights await the arrival of the Princess. Arlan and Raif share a bottle of ale between them. Raif finishes his drink and raises a bag of oats to feed his horse. He strokes the animal's head affectionately and smiles*.

We've a long ride ahead Stryder, I'm wearing lighter armour today, you'll be pleased to know.

*He turns and smiles at Arlan*.

But my wife has packed cheese and bread for us... She's never been one to let her old boy go hungry...

*Arlan smiles*.

What kind of cheese? You know I can't eat the very strong stuff. Did she pack you any fruit?

*She opens another bottle of ale and drinks*.

You could feed me grapes along the trail....

He's a beautiful horse. I hope he is fast.

*Philomena smiles and pats Stryder.*

I need a swift horse for Vortigern but I wouldn't deprive you of an old friend. I will ride my kelpie, but I will keep him at a slower pace than usual.

*The kelpie gives a whinny of protest then nuzzles his mistress. His blood red eyes glare at the soldiers and he goes to the trough to eat some blooded meat.*

Don't worry, he doesn't eat humans any more.

*Philomena looks at the guards*

So you four are to protect me?

*Bows his head to the mermaid*.

We believe you can take care of yourself Princess, but as it is we are assigned. We'll do our best to escort.

*He smiles*.

Stryder is my own. Only one of a handful of horses that made it safe to land during the great Dudrassa storm.

*Raif sighs*.

Lost a lot of good men that day too. But mustn't dwell.

*He looks around the stable*.

A horse for Vortigern, well there's Besk,

*Points to a large black horse, Hawk is grooming him*.

He can be a bit beserk at times, but he's strong and determined. Or maybe Chesco.

*Raif gestures to a white horse, her head down chomping through a bag of oats*.

More mild mannered and a little slower, but she has a steady stride....

Darl thinks I will runaway without you to 'escort' me.

*She gives a wry smile then turns her attention to the horses.*

Besk, come here boy.

*She whistles and the horse walks towards her*

You're a big strong boy... I like your dark eyes, they are like Vortigern's. You will serve him well. Slow and mild mannered never suits him.

*She looks over her shoulder as Vortigern enters the stable and grins. *

It never really suited me either. I always like a beast with the fire of the storm in his soul.

*Besk whinnies for Philomena's attention, stamps his hoof and nuzzles her. The mermaid laughs and kisses his velvety nose*

I think you and Vortigern have a shared spirit, Besk. He gets annoyed if I don't pay him enough attention.

*Vortigern nods*.

A good choice Princess. I like a good ride.... An animal with passion always appeals to me....

*Vortigern studies the faces of the four soldiers*.

So these are the warriors we have to protect.... I'm sure we'll get them safely to the castle Philomena. Unless of course they try to double cross us.

*He frowns*.

I don't have much faith in Kanaran loyalty.

*Arlan smiles*.

We can protect ourselves and the Princess.

*She bows her head to Philomena*.

I am sure....

*Arlan looks back at Vortigern*.

But I am sure you guard her far more closely than we will.

We don't have time for you all to stand around sniping at one another. The castle is a long ride and I like to ride fast. Let's saddle up and leave...

* She looks up at the dark towers of Stormrock. *

I will not miss these walls.

That we can agree on.

*He dips his hand into a bag of oats, scoops up a handful and feeds them to his horse*.

Hawk and me will ride in front, you can stay in the middle with Vortigern and Raif and Arlan will bring up the rear.

*He looks back at the dark towers*.

I won't miss the place either.....
