Alone in the room Numair looked down at the little dog that was licking his hand. The little dog looked up at him eyes full of happyness and her tail wagging wildly. "What a happy little dog you are. I guess nothing could ever happen to you to turn you into the sorry sight that I am."
The dog only looked at him. Numair picked her up and she settled on his lap and fell asleep soon Numair followed into slumber land. He was dreaming about sleeping with Diane in his arms when the door to his room was swung open. Startled Numair awoke.
"Numair!" it was Onua, "Cloud is here Thom found her in the forest!"
Numair jumped out of his seat and rushed down the stairs the little white dog at his heels.
In the court yard surounded by thick stone walls Alanna and the others were trying to get cloud under control.
Numair ran into the yard with Reba and looked at Cloud. The pony was a poor sight. Her main was in tangles and her eyes would not focus. Her body was covered in mud, dust and blood in some spots. She would let no one touch her till she got a glimpse of the stork-man. She ran to him and began to nuzzle him.
Numair pet the pony and cried into her mane. Cloud was glad to see the stork-man. It had been a long time since she and Diane had been seperated. Diane had flown to the tower insted of ride and after a while when the girl did not return the pony took matters in her own hooves. She broke out of the stables with the help of Skysong and had began to hunt for her mistress. But it was hard for the pony to get a scent of the girl since she had become a bird. Soon after hunting for so long Cloud had a feeling that the girl was gone, and soon she became mad. But suddenly seeing the stork-man she calmed down and was sane again. But she was not herself.
The other humans looked sadly at the pair the dirty horse was being pet by a greasy haired man who was wearing only a robe, his feet bare in the dirt of the courtyard. The dog put it's paws on the pony's front left leg. Cloud looked down at the white dog, {Go away little dog.}
The dog didn't seem to hear her and Cloud tried many times to speak to the dog. But the dog did nothing almost as if she was deaf to the people.
Numair looked at Cloud, "What's wrong girl she's only a little dog."
Cloud shook her head confused, but turned back to the man and licked his tear soked face.
