Dom made his way quietly through the forest that surrounded him.
He had just finished setting up his sleeping bag in one of the many small nearby clearings.
Pulling back one of the palm fronds carefully he peered into one of the other clearings to be greeted with a very loud snore. Dom winced; he hoped he didn't snore like his brother!
Glancing at Thad to make sure he wasn't on the verge of waking up, Dom made his way through the clearing Thad had chosen to rest in.
Dom frowned as he saw his brother's horse. It was still fully saddled. Thad had obviously not bothered to take care of his horse properly. Dom would have a word or two to his brother about that later.
Pushing thoughts of the mistreated horse from his mind, Dom carefully tried to take its stirrups.
Much soothing later (the horse had threatened to wake up Thad, and had taken a lot of convincing otherwise) Dom successfully made his way back to his camp with his brothers stirrups in hand.
Thad would have no chance to get new stirrups before he got to Corus, so he would be forced to ride to the palace looking like a class A loon, bumping up and down in his saddle.
Dom would make Thads arrival a misery, even if he could not get to Corus before him. Dom's head touched his pillow, drifting into a dream filled sleep.
Oh no, Dom couldn't let Thad know that he had rushed to get to Corus before him. No, not yet at least, Dom wouldn't reveal his game just yet, he would let Thad have one more peaceful sleep.
But tomorrow was another story.
Tomorrow they would arrive in Corus.
Tomorrow, the game to win Lady Knight Keladry began.
