*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..... |
