The following day, a small force of warriors, armed and armored, clad in scarlet and gold, came riding across The Clearing and into the village. It was Aurion’s escort, come to accompany him back to Caer Pendwyr. And five days after, they rode out again, the Prince in their midst.

But ere he went, he came unto Tommy and me. “I am but a Prince of the Realm,” he said, “yet I deem my sire will hew to the pledge I make this day, and it is this: Should you or Urus or Riatha need the aid of the High King, come unto Caer Pendwyr or to Challerain Keep and ask. We will help in running unto earth this monster you seek. So do I pledge in the names of all High Kings of Mithgar, forever.”

Though he was but ten, every inch a Prince he was, and both Tommy and I knew that aid would come if we but asked. We each hugged and kissed him, and he mounted his horse.

We all watched—Tommy, Riatha, Urus, and I—as Aurion rode away, southerly, out across the wide Clearing, the Princeling mounted on a dappled grey, amidst chestnuts and bays and blacks all about, spearborne pennons snapping in the breeze, rampant golden griffin on scarlet field.

And when we could see the future King no more, when the last standard passed beyond the horizon, we turned and strode back into the forest, where awaited mounts of our own.
