One fall evening Stefan the hostler gave her a note.

“You’ve been looking for a horse,” it read. “I have one. Come to the city first chance you get. George.”

A horse! A real horse, the kind of horse a warrior ought to have! Alanna scribbled sums on a sheet of paper. After careful figuring she decided she could buy a horse—if it was the right horse. Wistfully she said farewell to sweets for a long time—but a real horse would be worth it. She was tired of riding palace horses, and Chubby was getting old. The pony deserved a rest.
