balls. didn't notice that either. hmm. have cheated. just went back and
took out the sentence. Not even I could come up with an idea for why I'd
gone from bareback to a saddle. once again brownie points to sprite for
spotting it!
Blurry.
I will admit that I dithered. For all of 5 seconds. And then a sound of rustling leaves brought me back to my senses and I decided the best thing to do would be to pretend that I hadn't noticed it. I would merely watch and wait, I decided as I heaved Thingaladion back onto his horse and brushed his hair back over his ear.
I remounted my horse and we continued the long slow arduous trek back to the Palace.
***
And what happened? The inevitable. Of course. What did I do yet again? I got lost. In the forest. While trying to get to the Palace. AGAIN.
"Now I'm really getting a sense of deja vu." I muttered to myself as we passed a tree for the fifth time. "Dammit you stupid horse, why are you doing this to me?" I glared down at my mount, but then I noticed that it seemed as confused as I was. I shook my head in frustration and then glared up at the sky. "Is there a reason as to why I can't find the bloody Palace this time?!"
***
After 3 long hours of going around in circles I gave up and dismounted. I sat down on a conveniently placed rock and glared at my horse. Who glared back a much better glare than I could manage.
"Marvellous. Now I'm being outglared by a horse. Fucking hell." I looked down at my bag and decided that it was time for the only thing that could possibly cheer me up. Yep, folks you've guessed it.
"Chocolate, crisps and vodka." I said pulling out my supplies. "Anyone wants me," I said to my horse, "Tell them to wait."
***
I munched contentedly and glanced around at my surroundings. I took a sip of my vodka , and then took a gulp. And then a much bigger gulp. And then several more large gulps. Suddenly everything seemed all right with the world. Perhaps maybe a little blurred around the edges, but everything was all right.
I should have known it was too good to be true.
Idiot.

Short filler chapter. Hmm. The plot will thicken in the next one. Probably. Maybe. Hopefully. See how inspired I am.... R&R please!
