"wake up" a voice called as a clanging sound was made down the halls a stable hand walked over to the stalls and put a hay bale in each stall for them gave then a cookie each as well he reached my stall archer and lucky still a sleep next to me "hello darling your new" he said and put a hay bale in my stall he walked in and saw archer then lucky "well i did not expect that" he said and patted me on my side while going through his pocket with the other he pulled out a cookie and put his hand in front of my mouth i ate it crunching it up and swallowed but it tasted weird he gave some to archer and lucky as well after they ate it they scrunched their faces up in disgust "sorry you guys need your vitamins" he said and walked out. we ate some of the hay it was all over archer because he rolled in it i went to the back stall door that showed the outside i looked to my right and gorden had his head out of the back door as well a few minutes later a lot of people came through the barn doors rushing to a stall it turned out a mare had given birth to her foal a few hours earlier a little girl walked up to our stall and looked at us "pretty horsy" she said and opened the stall door i saw it this was my chance to get back to hunter "come on get to your feet where finding your father" i neighed loudly with hope they perked their heads up and we rushed out the stall and through the barn doors across the stone road and into the thick bush across the lush grass the hay still in archers mane and on his body many horses in the fencing looked surprised that we where out a white mare ran with us along the fencing "please let me come with you" she begged she looked like she had been through a rough patch i stopped and walked up to her "please i belong in the wild" she pleaded i walked up to the gate of the fence and fiddled with the hatch but it tasted like pepper i continued to fiddle with it and it swung open "follow me" she said we did and she lead us through the thick and thin till we reach a deep water bank we trudged into it within a few minutes it was up to my neck we stopped for a little while to rest about one quoter through lucky rested her head on my back archer did the same "come on its not that bad" i said to them "over there!" a voice called out and a truck whirled around the corner gorden galloped in front of it "come on go, go, go!" i yell and we trudged through the water as fast as we could but it was hard but the truck came through the water with ease the humans slipped halter on us and led us onto the back of the truck which took us to land gorden cantered aside the truck with the man named Dean "you shouldn't act like that sir has done nothing wrong to you" gorden spoke to me in a fine manner "i know its just i like this stallion and-" he cut me off by saying "your here and sir wants me to teach you some manner you will never see that stallion again trust me they either sent him to slaughter or changed his temperament" he said. We arrived at the barn and the girl Adeline did not look pleased she let me into a pasture and left but dean returned with gorden who was stepping in a fine manner he put him off the lead except he put some collar on his neck whenever he got close it would give him a zap. Four Months Later it had been a while that we had been in this pasture together they fed us like usual i got the gesture on how i was expected to act Adeline came into the pasture she collected gorden and i we went down the the tack room where dean tacked gorden up and took the collar off him adeline tacked me up and we where led out the saddle started to dig into my stomach a bit considering i still hadn't really lost the weight from archer, who was having a go at another young colt in a pasture nearby i made no stir and continued to walk alongside the girl she smiled at dean and we continued walking her long brown hair flowing in the wind the flower on the side of her ear looked to be gleaming we reached the green lush grass and she mounted me dean did with gorden as well she nudged my side with her leg and we started at a walk she held the reins loose and we started walking around but a horse in armor and a man riding it came galloping over the horse huffing and the man looked hurt "SIR! SIR!" he yelled as he got closer he stopped and came up to dean "sir they started a war!" he said kneeling i soon found out he was the king i could not believe it i was the horse to a queen i was happy as day and i could not hold it in in tossed and fidgeted hoofing the ground and squealing with joy she would attempt to rein my head in many times but she eventually squeezed my sides with her legs i stopped and stood still "sir they need your presence to lead us" he said "i will have to" he said looking at adeline "i'm going with you" she blurted out "wait what i'm going to war!" i said wishing i was not her horse because i could get killed better worse gorden could as well "we will pack now and set off for the Carmina lands" dean said and we turned quickly we reached the house and a white chariot drawn by two blue roan stallions turned up "Sir!, Sir! did you hear" the chubby man said as he burst out of the cart "yes i did we are packing now" he said and dismounted gorden "hold my horse wont you" he said and handed the reins to the man adeline did the same i snorted air at his face he looked at me then at the other horses "why cant you be like them?" he asked i simply shook my head gorden stood still and was not worried one bit they came back out with two bags each that looked heavy "alright stable hand tack them up" he said soon enough a man came out and grabbed our reins he sighed and led us into the tack room where he had metal plates he took the saddle off and placed the metal plate down and it was metal down to my stomach he then put the saddle back on over the metal small metal plates where placed over my neck and over my face same with gorden we then where led back to the people they wore armor as well "she looks good" dean said she simply smiled and went to my flank where she tied the bags to my back then mounted dean had already done the same and mounted gorden they clucked and we trotted away into the dense bush. "we have five days to get there" he said while we walked through the long grass mud had plastered it's self on my hocks and girth but it was starting to get irritating and annoying i slammed my feet down trying to shake the mud off adeline forced the reins closer to herself making me uncomfortable the bit was ripping at my mouth she realized this and loosened the reins a bit she clucked and we did a trot the mud started to get deeper up to my stomach "only a little more through here" adeline said as she pat my side my tail had mud all through it she was right the mud got lower and lower till there was none and we where on land they dismounted us and led us for a while while we where walking i lowered my head to nip at some grass but she pulled me along "alright lunch time" dean said and we stopped they changed our bridles to bitless then put a sack on our mouths tied to our head it was filled with cut up apple and we continued to walk while eating when a doe ran past us along with a buck and another few does with fawns "shall we?" he asked "okey" she said and they took the sacks off our mouths then quickly mounted we chased after the deer i heard a cocking sound of a gun adeline let go of the reins and held tight with her legs we where getting close to them and a loud bang went off right next to my ear it scared me and i bucked till i heard her fall to the ground with a groan i ran and ran and ran i got puffed out so i slowed but i heard shouting "hey look over there a horse!" the voice yelled i turned to see a girl and a smaller girl "a war horse sis" the little one said "stay there" the bigger one said and she started walking over to me with her hand out i walked backwards but i was at a ledge "easy, easy girl its okey" she soothed and reached her hand to my muzzle where she rested her hand she gently grabbed my reins and lifted them over my head into her hand "come on girl" she said smoothly and she led me towards the way i came "she came from over there that's where i saw her running from" the little girl said "well her owner must be this way" the other girl replied i stopped and reared up i stretched my neck out and grabbed a apple from the tree above i went back down and crunched at the juicy apple "hmm bitless must be rich" the taller girl said watching me devour the apple then we continued walking till we ran into adeline, dean and gorden "oh my thank god" adeline said and ran to me then hugged me "thank you" she said and pat in between my ears scuffing up some of my mane "no problem" the older girl said then was looking at my chest plate that had the simble of the place we lived which was a Raven adeline mounted me and gorden walked towards me with dean on his back and a doe tied on his back they clucked and we trot away i don't know why but she was so rough with the reins.
