Told everybody I'd update! Anybody listen to From Autumn to Ashes or Taking Back Sunday here? I do! I got to hang out with TBS! ANYWAY!

Daine turned around. It was Cordelia. She walked up and pet Morg's nose.

"You know, its amazing you can talk to animals. I've always wanted to do something magical like that." Cordelia said. Daine looked at her and smiled. They where a lot alike, but Cordelia was misunderstood. ( A/N: Cord., I'll burn down your igloo!)

"Yeah, if it wasn't for your brother, I wouldn't be able to." Daine smiled as a evil look came of Cordelias face. "Do you know anything about Duke's past?" Asked Daine.

Cordelia pulled pieces of carrot out of her pocket and fed them to the horses, including Spots and Cloud. "I woke up in the morning and found him out here. He was very well kept, and shy. He's been a lot better since then. He's about 11 now. 17 in our age. He's easy to ride, never has been mean. He's been a little weird about going into the castle grounds. It scares him. We've had him for about 2 months."

"Hm.. I'll have to find out about that. I was wondering, are there any good riding trails around here? Maybe we can go for one." Said Daine.

Cordelia thought about this, and said "Yeah, there is. But you might want to go tell your protective husband your going." Daine snorted.

She walked inside. Numair and his parents. "Numair, I'm going for a ride with Cordelia," A look of horror came over his face and he looked at Daine's stomach.

" OK, but read this first. Jon put it in some other letters with use in our pack." He handed her a letter.

Dear Daine and Numair,

I know you will find this letter when you get settled in. Around where you are staying, there is a missing prince. He ran away, but is on our side and does have magic in him. He has been missing for 2 years, but has been seen and has ended up escaping. We know how good you are at tracking, and during your break we hope that you can find the prince! Daine, don't work yourself so hard that you hurt the baby. We don't want past experiences repeated.

Good luck

Jonathan

Daine read the letter. She gulped and handed it back to Numair, nodding.

"OK, I'll be back soon. Kitten, are you coming?" Daine asked.

Kitten let out a chirp and shook her head.

Daine walked out the door to the barn. Cordelia was petting Clouds nose.

"Who can I ride?"Asked Daine, looking at the horses.

"Im riding Morg, and you can ride whoever you want. I'll let out who ever you don't ride." Cordelia said.

"Ill ride Duke. How good is he bareback?" Asked Daine. She walked up to him.

::Can I ride you bareback? I promise I'll be good. I'll ride you without a bridle if you promise to be good and not run away with me. I have a foal.::

::Yes, and I know your carrying a baby. I'm not stupid. I'll be fine. I think you husband would kill me, and feed me to the dragon if I ran off with you.::

Daine grinned. He knew his humans. " He said I can ride him with nothing on him. Morg just told me you can too."

"OK, lets get these guys out, I'll let the others in the field." Cordelia said. She opened the gate and Duke and Morg walked out. They stood there, not saying anything. Cordelia let the other horses out into the field. Cloud whinnied and ran around.

"Haha, she's happy. Ready?" Asked Daine. Cordelia nodded and they walked outside, the horse following. Daine put her hands on Dukes back and jumped right up. She looked over and Cordellia was doing the same. They nodded and Daine walked beside her.

WELL! IM POSTING ANOTHER CHAPTER RIGHT AFTER THIS!!
