"Shhhh" I hushed my brother, Ryu. "I don't know why I bother bringing you." He looked up at me with his dark brown eyes and shaggy blonde hair. "Maybe, my dear sister, it is because you need ME to open the lock." He beamed and I sighed. The sparkling white snow crunched beneath our feet as we walked upon it, the stars above us blazing in the clear night sky. A shooting star zoomed across the sky. I silently made a wish.
"Now be quiet dear brother." He smiled wryly but to my amazement, shut his trap. I slowed my breath. The guard snored loudly on his chair. "Humph, some guard." I mumbled to myself before quietly sneaking by him, finally making it to the stables. "Okay Ryu time to do your jo-" I turned around slowly, afraid of what I was going to see. There, was Ryu, making faces at the sleeping guard. I lunged, dragging him as quietly as I could, out of sight, and hopefully ear shot.
"If you EVER do that again I'll-"I began, but he just grinned. "You need me and you know it." I just laughed. "I can do other things besides not bring you, dear brother of mine. I would have thought you would have learned that after 14 years of my company." He gulped. "Good, now do your job." He grumbled, but obliged, walking up to the stable door, where he placed his great callused hand upon the lock. Great blue threads-as I call them-flowed from his hand, infusing into the lock. Sweat dripped down his face, as he poured more of his threads into the lock. At last, the lock opened.
"Thumbs up." I smiled, snickering a little. Ryu growled, trying to catch his breath. I walked by him, going into the great stables. The horses snorted in greeting, but I ignored all but one. My Asta. I rubbed her soft white muzzle. She was a paint, brown and white. My favorite horse. My friend. She pushed at me with her muzzle, signaling that she wanted a treat. "Alright alright" I laughed as I reached into my pocket pulling out a sugar cube and holding it in my small palm for her. Her wet pink tongue lapped it up. She whinnied happily. I grabbed a brush, stroking her great muscular body. After I had finished with that, I carefully led her out of her stall into the night.
"You know girls aren't supposed to be ridding so why do ya do it?" Ryu asked as he tried to warm himself. "Why shouldn't I? I love horses as much as any man, probably more. Yet I can't ride one cause I'm a 'girl'. I scowled mounting Asta. "Just asking. " He smiled and stifled a yawn. "Well if my jobs done here, I think I shall be go'n to sleep." I waved goodbye as Ryu, still yawning, set off across the snow to the house.
I patted Asta's spotted neck. "Lets ride." I whispered into her flickering ear. Her shrill whistle echoed throughout the town, as she reared and sprinted forward. Luckily, everyone, used to the noise by now considering I did this quite often, thought it just to be one of the horses riled up.
