         Moo snorted and munched on the lemon grass happily. He was a rather rotund little fellow and it was obvious that he ate much more than his master, Isamu. His tail swished as he ate.

Isamu hesitently took hold of Larkin's hand and stood, "My name is Isamu Korino, and I will be the guide to White Face mountain. Please excuse Moo, he doesn't have any manners." Isamu seemed to come out of his shell a tiny bit, as soon as he and Lantis had exited the Throne Room. It was much easier for him to relax now that he didnt't have the accusing eyes of the king piercing into his soul. Isamu despised him, and the feeling was mutual.

Isamu wiped the dirt off his pants with his hands and mounted Moo again, "Alright, are you guys ready to go? We don't have much time..." as Isamu finished the sentence he turned his attention to his hands, not wanting to look at either of them, in fear that they would see the fear on his pale face.

         Isamu shrank in fear at the noise and kicked Moo, sending the horse into a frenzied trot. The horse trotted in a circle then snorted and turned back towards Lanties. He understood that the woman meant no harm, and that his master was trying to flee. But Moo wouldn't have it. He was, after all, a very stubborn horse.

Isamu hid behind the horse's neck. But, Moo thought this inappropriate so he got down onto his knees with such a swift movement that it sent Isamu tumbling off of his back and onto the ground. The boy grunted in pain and sat up, rubbing his back. "Dammit Moo!" He snapped.

The horse seemed to snicker as he stood to his feet and walked over to Larkin, where he then proceeded to lightly nibble on her hair.

         Isamu grumbled as he heard a knock on the door to his home. Why couldn't people just leave him the hell alone? He was lucky enough that no one bothered to steal his horse, but it's not like he was asking for a whole lot, just some peace and quiet! The young man's head throbbed and he curled up into a ball on his straw bed. A few seconds later their was a louder knock.

"Alright, im coming! Holy shit... can't anyone get some peace and quiet around here?" He mumbled and cursed to himself as he stood and stumbled over to the front door. Isamu squinted, trying to see exactly where the door handle was, then opened it.
Standing outside was a royal messenger. "Oh wonderful, what the hell do you want?" Isamu asked in an annoyed tone.

The messenger handed him a scroll, "Your time is up. Be at the castle in half an hour... or else.." he then mounted his horse and road off. "Or else what? It's not like the King can kill me... he needs me..." Isamu mumbled to himself as he watched the messenger ride away.

Isamu rubbed his aching right side and stepped out into the cool air. He gently petted his rotund black horse, Moo, who was tied up outside the door. "Okay Moo, time to get going..." he untied the animal, mounted, then rode off to the caslte.
