"Land ho" everyone started scurrying around collecting objects; packing bags; going below deck to saddle their horses. The ship was in uproar.
'So' Faya thought 'this is what fighting for Rome is going to be like' She went below deck and saddled her horse.
Everyone below deck stumbled or fell over as the ship lurched to the side. Everyone could hear Galahads scream.
"THE MONSTERS GONNA' EAT ME"
Then she heard another yell
"Fay calm him down"
Faya meandered around the various bodies and horses until she saw Gawain and Gareth trying to calm an extremely distressed Galahad. Fay quickly walked over and tapped Gawain on the shoulder. He moved to let her through. Galahad was curled up in a tight ball on the floor, shaking like a little leaf on a windy day.
Faya knelt down beside him and put her hand on his shoulder. He leapt away from her touch. Only then did she realize that he had his eyes closed.
"Galahad" she said a calming note in her voice. As soon as Galahad heard it, he was in Faya's lap in a heartbeat; cuddling up to her; seeking protection.
"Nothings going to hurt you Gal, nothing" she muttered
"Then why did the ship move?" Gal asked in a small voice
"That was just us docking in the port"
She pushed Galahad off her lap and stood up,
"Can I ride with you Fay?"
"Why?"
"Because…um…I…" Galahad looked up at her and smiled sheepishly
"Come on then, let's tell Gareth you're riding with me instead" Galahad grinned, and latched onto Faya's hand.
She walked over to Gareth
"Gareth, Gal's riding with me, OK?"
"Fine, the little whelp likes you"
Faya laughed as she turned and made her way back to Tirade
"You're gonna' have one more passenger boy, is tha' alright?" she asked the horse.
Tirade neighed and nodded his big, black head. She strapped her bow and quiver on the saddle and threw her cloak around her shoulders.
"Come here Gal" Galahad stepped closer, Faya grabbed him under the arms and hoisted him on Tirade's back, she climbed on behind him and undid the reigns from the saddle horn. She wrapped the reins around her right hand and wrapped the left arm around Galahad.
They quickly rode they're horses up onto the deck and down the gangplank. Until they were all on the green grasslands of Britain, all they could see for miles around them was green mountains and meadows
"Wow" Fay heard Galahad whisper in front of her, a smirk spread across her face. As if the horse sensed her thoughts he reared and took off, galloping around in the unspoilt meadows. Her smirk grew as she heard the laughter drifting on the wind.
