The soft light of dawn filtered through the canopy of soft golden and red leaves. It is was October - the 29 th to be exact- and I had escaped the castle, and the torture of my life- the king. I had been thinking all knight as we had made our swift progress awway from the castle, and I had come to the conclusion that as it wad morning the Kings men would be on our trail, tracing our every move. The best way to tackle that would be to split up so I called midnight and as I expected alex drew up next to me and halted his mottled grey horse. Suddenly my throat felt tight and I felt a lump rise. I didn't want him to leave. He was my best freind and he had been by my sude since forever. He was even there when I caught midnight. As it happened it was actually an accident.
It was a crisp morning, not unlike today, and we where on the marshes searching for horclumps when a nearby pond began to ripple ang a pure black foal emerged. She was bueatiful. Before I new what I was hapening i was walking towards it. Alex however was not transfixed and grabbed my arm. " remember your training" he whispered because he had been training me to tame kelpies simce I was 6 as he said I had a way with them. I pulled my hand awway and advanced towards the beast, obtaining a confident posture despite my trembling knees. I reached outny hand and bowed my head. At first she looked doubtfull and spooked but after a while she bowed her head. The scine of trust. Alex called me backto collect ny makeshift halter but I ignored him and climbed on her back. All of a sudden she leaped up and dived under water.
