Snippet #372239

Arabella kept a tight hold to the reins of her stallion as she hesitated for just a minute…he wanted her to ride beside him. She wasn’t sure about this at all but she had come thus far…but getting herself to do it was one thing. Aries had different plans as he pinned his ears flat against his head. He heavily pawed he ground, snorting and grunting as his tail swished about in a menacing manner. He quickly proved himself dominant over the King’s horse holding his head high and kicking up every couple steps.

Arabella had to adjust herself a couple times, not used to the whole side saddle,lady-like thing at all. It felt strange yet oddly natural as she let her stallion take on his own pace. “Thank you…” It was all she managed to whimper out as she tried hard to stay comfortable upon her stallion. She glanced to her side as she was about to say more she saw a strange man jog up beside herself and the King. Aries let out an ear splitting stallion squeal as he snapped his powerful jaws at the man. He had a terrible feeling about this man and was not about to let him get too close.

Arabella’s face paled as she popped her stallion lightly on the neck. “Shush you…manners” It took everything the stallion had to force his draft sized body to relax into the cue of his rider despite all of his instincts telling him to strike the stranger down now and get it over with. He couldn’t go against his rider, the only thing he truly cared about in his life…he was hers sworn to protect and obey her as long as he lived.

“I wanted to talk to you…I…he…why? Why our Kingdom? What did we do to cause you to force so much destruction upon us?” She kept a carefully gaze upon the King as she tilted her head gently, Aries keeping his gaze on the suspicious man.
