The horse hung her head low to the ground. She was too tired now to raise it any higher and every step she took was a strained effort, but she did not falter; she continued with little encouragement from Alden. The moon was high in the sky. The stars looked down on them, watching their plight from the heavens.

They had not stopped since their desperate escape. Alden was determined to reach the borders of Sussex. He did not want to be in Oeric’s kingdom when the sun came up.

The horse tripped and fell to her knees. Alden immediately slid off her and helped Annis dismount. He grabbed the reins, encouraged the mare back to her feet, and then quickly ran his hand down both her front legs, checking for injuries.

“She is just exhausted,” he said with a sigh. He pulled the reins over her head, gasping in pain as the movement jarred his arm.

“I need to look at your arm,” Annis said, taking the reins out of his hand.

“It is fine.” It was a lie, an unconvincing one at that. He dreaded the arrow being removed, for it was embedded deep.

He looked around them. Oeric’s men had seemingly given up the pursuit for the night. When the sun rose, Alden knew they would continue tracking them. They had to keep moving or else they would be caught. He followed Annis as she led the horse forward. They would have to continue on foot until the horse regained some of her strength.
