You enter a large pasture. The walls are high and made of stone. Several trees stand near the walls, their branches hanging over. A small spring fills a little pond with water. A horse whinneys and trots over to you. Somewhat bemused at finding such an ordinary (but beautiful, you tell yourself, very beautiful) creature, you give it a a sugarcube that magically appears in your pocket.

The horse whickers and starts to graze.

"That's Moniar," Somebody-or-Other says. You look up mildly, and smile wryly. You must be becoming a native. You barely notice when she appears out of nowhere. She is sitting on the top of the wall. "I found her at the end of the Dannia maze, in Gavania. No easy feat, I assure you." She smiles pleasantly. "She's a King's horse. I guess there were too many foals that year. Not that I understand why anyone would give a hrose as sweet as Moniar away," she adds. Moniar snorts and stamps her foot. You give her another sugarcube, and head back to the nursery.
