Princess Anna ~
She thought for a moment. I-I guess I can come with you. She said and looked at the ground. She kicked Layla's sides and kept next to Felix. She thought a little longer and finally blurted out when they were riding, If we, you know, had kids... What do you think they would look like? She asked and kept her eyes on the ground as it slowly moved along before her. Anna saw Layla's legs kick out in front of her as she galloped through the marsh lands and through puddles.

Felix glanced back at her, genuinely surprised and startled by the question. "Kids?" he asked, shocked, he glanced from side to side and shrugged. "I don't know. Like us I guess. Never know." he said with a shrug. He still had several shops to go to and he climbed off Sirius at the blacksmiths. He walked inside before she could say anything to him. Greeting him was Oromis, the blacksmith, who grabbed him in a bear hug and then got him his order of swords, horseshoes, and metal arrowheads.

She nodded and giggled slightly. She thought for a long while again and got very bored with just doing nothing. She yawned and thought of something else to ask. She looked at the blacksmith and asked for a cutsom made sword. She wanted the handle bronze and the blade itself to be silver. She offered him good money to have that sword hand crafted into something beautiful.

Felix put everything in the wagon outside and walked back in, handing Oromis strong arm a piece of paper. "I want them done by tomorrow, along with the lady's sword." he said. Oromis nodded and Felix patted the big man's back. "Alright, now Anna, it suppose we should head up to the castle, my sister and uncle are waiting for us." he said.

The castle? She yawned and looked at Layla. You ready to go riddin'? She asked Layla and Layla shook out her mane as if to say, 'no'. Anna giggled some and patted her neck. Oh sure you are. She said jokingly and kicked her sides. Layla refused to move. She kicked a little harder but Layla still refused to move from that spot. Anna jumped a little on her back. C'mon. She said and kicked her sides. Layla snorted.

Felix laughed and patter Layla's side. Sirius was waiting calmly a little bit away. He ran, jumping on Sirius from behind, he grinned back at Anna, and started forward. Her mare seemed to favor Sirius and horses being herd animals, Layla should follow Sirius, so he kicked Sirius into a trot and they went up the cobblestone street.

She looked at the ground and sighed again happily. Layla. Now. She said and kicked her sides again. Layla sat down and Anna slid off, squealing in surprisment. Layla snorted some. Anna's back was covered in dirt. She stood and dusted herself off and pulled on Layla. Come Layla. She said and tugged her. She smiled and remembered a trick her grandfather taught her. She took Layla's ear and pulled up. Layla stood and whinnied. Anna let her go and smiled, putting her hands on her hips.

Felix glanced behind to see that Layla wasn't moving, but Anna was fighting back, he reigned Sirius around and watched her, smiling. Sirius pranced in place and Felix turned the unruly big horse in several tight quick circles. He laughed when Anna finally got Layla up and trotted Sirius over, closer. His eyes twinkled with mischief. "you coming Anna?" he teased and turned Sirius in another circle.

Princess Anna ~
Hopefully! She said in response. She giggled some and got onto Layla, kicking her sides. She smiled again and thought of something to say to Layla. She kicked her sides a little harder and Layla took off. Anna pulled tight on the reigns but Layla just did her own thing. Layla bolted through trees and nearly swiped Anna off. Anna held on tight.

Felix laughed and turned Sirius after them. Sirius didn't need any help, he bolted after them and they raced towards the castle. Soon they were racing alongside Anna and her mount. Felix was bent low in the saddle and the people scattered as they rode up the rode. The secondary gates into the castle opened for them.

She felt a shift in Layla. She bolted hard to the right and Anna flipped off. She flipped twice and hit her head. Anna layed their knocked out. Layla stopped suddenly and turned to Anna. She sniffed her and Anna groaned before falling fully unconcious. Anna felt everything relax inside her. She thought she was dead.

Felix jarred Sirius to a bone wrenching stop and jumped off him in one fluid movement. He picked up Anna, making sure she was still breathing. He put her up on Sirius and got one Layla. He whispered something in the stubborn horse's ear. Something involving wolves and punishments if the horse failed its rider again. He kicked the horse forward lightly, he never kicked very hard and rode on, Sirius following behind.

Princess Anna ~
She could feel her body being moved but she didn't awaken to see. Layla hurried to do what Felix asked. Anna had a wierd dream that she and Felix were trapped in a cellar. Anna had dreams that had come true in the past but she didn't know if this one would. She twitched.

Felix trotted Layla into the courtyard, where a groom came and got the horse. He picked Anna off of Sirius and another groom collected the big stallion. Felix walked inside, a girl in his arms. He asked for a small bowl of water and a washcloth, he wet the washcloth and held it to her forehead, knowing that it was cold.

Princess Anna ~
A few silent moments went by and Anna finally started coming to. Her first reaction was to touch her head and feel her slight cut. She pulled her fingers back and looked intently at them. She studied the little trinklet of blood on her finger and tried to sit up. She gazed into Felix's eyes and turned away. Looking around in question and confusion.
