I knew that if I stayed where I was that I was seriously going to hurt someone, I just hoped that if that were to happen that it would be the bishop that would find himself under the blade of my wrath. Unfortunately I also knew that if that were to happen that not only would I find my self in deep, deep shit but I would also drag the others with me, so I decided to go and find comfort with the one that would not reject me no matter what. I unlatched the stall door to Flecha's stall and walked in, and as always my expectations were not disappointed, with a gentle cry Flecha came to greet me. I reached into my pocket and found a carrot there, I offered it to him, and as always he did not hesitate to take it.
"We have to face the greatest test that we have ever faced today boy" I told him as I gently stroked his neck, Flecha bowed his head and nudged me along with a snicker, as if he already knew what I was talking about.
I walked out of the stall to grab a brush and to brush him down, before I tacked him up. Once he was ready I lead him out of his stall and out into the arena where the other knights were, I looked to see their faces and I could see that they most certainly were not happy, then I noticed something that made me struggle not to giggle and that was that they were all shooting death glares at the bishops messenger Horton, the poor guy looked like this was the last place he wanted to be. I shook my head and grabbed a hand full of Flecha's mane, hoisting myself up onto his back and into the saddle.
Once I was up on Flecha and had gathered the reins into my hand, I looked up just in time to see Arthur ride in on Feonaro, He brought Feonaro to a halt in front of us and gave a sharp nod and then turned Feonaro around and set him into a canter in direction of the northern gate, the rest of the knights set out to follow him and I feel in line at the rear alongside of Tristan. As we began to get closer and closer to the northern gate, it was clear to me that it had not been opened in a really long time, considering the fact that they had to use two shire horses to pull it open. I was brought back to reality from Flecha giving a small jump and throwing his head up high, at first I did not know what he was saying, but then all too soon, I understood he was telling me that we were going under the arc soon and that I should keep my guard up, I saw Arthur pass under it, and then just before it was our turn I thought to myself "I hope we make it out alive" but even as I said this to myself in hope that I could convince myself of it I could not help but think that this mission would not go through without great peril, I leaned down and brought both of my hands down on Flecha's neck silently asking for him to be my guide and to protect me during this time of darkness, he in turn bowed his head and brought it back up along with a gently jump, as if to say "Everything would be fine".
