AERETH LOVED SHOWING off. She was a great rider (Calain had called her a centaur!) and did not hesitate to leap Lucky over low logs and bushes. Each leap and bound made Enid shriek with laughter and her red hair toss. When they had slowed down to a walk, Enid breathlessly confessed that she had never ridden a horse before. She looked back at Aereth with admiring blue eyes, her cheeks flushed from laughter.

Aereth looked down at Enid and thought she was the prettiest thing she had ever seen. Enid’s hands were small and delicate, her lips sweet, her eyes round. Aereth was overwhelmed with the urge to kiss her, but instead, she fumbled with the reins and focused on the forest ahead. Alongside them, the noisy caravan continued forward, though now people were staring at them curiously from the wagons. Some of the friendlier ones waved.

“Do you like living in the caravan?” Aereth asked Enid. It suddenly occurred to her that she had someone from the wide, unknown world who was willing to talk to her, someone she could drill for information aside from Gweneth.

“I suppose so,” said Enid thoughtfully. “I don’t know anything else. I’ve lived in Sirione all my life. What about you? Do you just travel about with your mother and those knights?”

“Yes,” Aereth said in surprise, as if she was only just realizing. “We lived in some sort of old castle when I was small, but I suppose we don’t really have a home. Tis why we came here – to live in Edhen.”

Enid giggled in amazement. “But no one lives in Edhen! No one can get in!”

“We can!” said Aereth confidently. “And once we have, we shall live there happy together. Selene will teach me to hunt, and Mother will teach me magick, and Calain will spar with me . . . And Gweneth will tell me stories. And Cassandra, she shall teach me to dream walk. She promised. And I suppose I must learn my letters, too. And to control my strength. Calain can punch through walls, Gweneth told me. She was jesting, but all the Knights of Falcon can.”

“Wow!” said Enid, who had been listening in wonder. “Your mother’s knights sound amazing. And is your mother really a sorceress?”

“Yes!” said Aereth proudly and was very satisfied when Enid looked impressed by that.

“I always wanted to learn magick,” Enid confessed.

“So why don’t you?” said Aereth at once.

“Well . . . I’m afraid to leave Sune and Kare alone, for one. They’re old and can’t take care of themselves. I should like to stay and help them.”

“But you’re sacrificing your own life,” said Aereth pointedly. “Don’t you want to see the world?”

Enid was silent for a moment and then she said, “You sound as if you’re trying to convince me to come with you!” She laughed softly. “I almost wish you were. I know that if I stay here, some boy shall ask me to wed him, and I am afeared what shall happen if I say no.
