Dragon's curse

chapter thirty six

I hate people that are horrible with other people, let alone treat them like they are nothing more than worthless. I know how it feels and I hope to stop people from doing that to others.

"Ethan, Shut up you worthless brat and get me out of these ropes." Yelled Ethans boss in anger.

Ash quickly pulled him away from the concession desk and kneed him in the stomach, Ethans boss groaned in pain as he fell to his knees on the hard ground.

Jeff and Ash said simultaneously in anger, "Shut up you fat bastard or do you want me to add the charge of offending two hunters as well."

Ethan walked over behind the concession desk and said in a slightly shy voice, "H-how can I... Can I help you?" He quickly looked at the book that sat on the dask and continued "Oh, I am sorry, this says you wanted a horse for an unknown amount of days, is that right?"

Jeff sighed as he replied "Yea but I don't just want one horse though."

Ethan smiled as he asked, "Ok, How many horses will you need?"

Ash replied "We are going to need four horses."

"Ok I have one horse that matches what you are looking for and has the right schedule for you, now let me see if I can have three more for you, give me just a second here." Ethan said with a slight smile as he flipped through the pages of the book.

After a half hour of skimming the pages he said, "Here we go, I have two more horses that I can let you rent for three months if that works for you and one other horse that can only be rented for two months."

Ash asked with curiosity,"How old are the horses?"

Ethan replied "The first horse that I mentioned is three thousand years old, the two that are registered for three months are five thousand years old and the last horse is two thousand years old. If you want I can change them out with another horse for you."

Jeff said quickly, "No thank you but thanks for the offer. If anything, we will make your boss walk the whole way until he collapses from exhaustion and then place him on one of the horses."

Ethan smiled even wider as he placed a checkmark next to four horses and said "Alright, I think that is everything. Let me go get the horses ready for the road and I will be right back."

Ethan quickly walked over to the stabils while Ash and Jeff waited patiently for their horses. There was the distinct sound of clanking like metal against metal followed by the sound of horses that were slightly muffled and mixed with a womans or man's dreams that could be heard at a distance. Ash and Jeff looked at each other in confusion but quickly dismissed what they thought that they may have heard. After a few more minutes of waiting, Ethan came out from the stalls with what looked to be four horses walking with him, two horses on each side. Ash slowly looked the horses up and down, she noticed that their legs were seen through like a ghost. The rest of the horses bodys looked normal and their mane was pitch black with what looked to be pure white colored eyes.

Ash asked with a hint of shock in her voice and she had a shocked look on her face, "Are these horses rare horses?"

Ethan replied "In this town these horses are common but they are considered rare horses outside of town."

Jeff said confidently, "Oh, that makes sense."

"Do you know how to... What do you call it, Shaw these horses?" Ethan asked with concern.

Jeff replied slightly confused, "We know how to ride them if that's what you mean."

Ethan sighed as he said "No, that isn't exactly what I meant, here let me just explain so you know what I am talking about. When you are ready to return the horses, put the amount of money you owe in one of the pouches of the horse's saddles.'' He quickly shows where the pitches are on each of the horses' satils and continues, "After you are done, you have to whisper in their ears, reapers return home."
