Ember listened to Na'afian as he spoke about what Eldon had told him. He told her that he was supposed to go to Nitar's hometown: Sheeva. He could take them, so she looked over to Nitar for her answer. But then, Na'afian had mentioned something that caught her attention. Truebloods. "Who are the Truebloods? Why are they dangerous?"

When Nitar decided to go to her hometown first, then visit Eldon later, Ember was with her, thought slightly nervous for an unknown reason. She turned to Na'afian and said, "Looks like were going to Sheeva."

Na'fian suddenly looked a little uncomfortable, and looked to the side, like he wanting to run, instead of give an explanation of who the Truebloods were, but he stayed put, and looked back at them. "The Truebloods, are humans, they are killing people with powers and anything that isn't human, they even take some with powers and do experiments on them, they once took Nitar, thats how she came to be here in the first place, Eldon helped her and Nesthora escape." He said.

"Uhh... I guess, I'll get the horses ready, you can follow and help if you want, but, stay out of sight from the house, Eldon won't like trespassers." He said, and then slipped behind the house, towards a barn.

Nitar took in a deep breath, and looked over at Ember, and smiled a little, then she followed Na'fian, towards a barn, where the odor of horses was strong. She saw Na'fian walk in and heard him speak softly to the horses. She walked in the barn also, staying low, and as quiet as possible, and went into the barn when safe from the light of Eldon's lantern.

When in the barn, there were rows of pens, like a stable, and in five on each side, a horse was there, most brown. Na'fian was getting horses out, three, all dark brown. She walked over and stood by the horses and ran a horse over its fur, and narrowed her eyes. "I don't remember ever riding a horse before..." She said, a little uncertain.


"Its easy, Nitar, don't worry." The boy said, leading the horses over to some tack, and tying tthe horses up to a post so he could get saddles on and the such.

Ember could easily sense how uncomfortable Na'afian was, but she didn't care. She wanted the truth and he knew it. She listened carefully as he told them about the Truebloods, and even though they sounded so scary, she wasn't, couldn't be, afraid.

For the first time, Ember didn't say anything, no comment; nothing. Just a small nod and smile towards Nitar, and followed her into the barn. She walked as quiet as she could hoping Eldon wouldn't decide to wander out of his cottage while she's sneaking off to the barn. Thankfully, he didn't and she made it to the barn, where Na'afian was preparing three dark brown horses.

Ember smiled and petted one of the horses on its nose. When Nitar commented that she'd never ridden a horse before, Ember said, "Hey, if you don't want to ride one, then I can always take you on my horse. It'd be no problem"

Nitar looked at Ember a moment, when she had suggested riding with her, she thought, then shook her head, and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll try, if I don't try, then I'll never remember how." She said a little to calm, then she stroked a horse and watched Na'fian continue to get the horses ready.

"Do you ride often, Ember, at the stables?" She asked, a little curious, turning back to face the girl who was helping her.


Na'fian looked up at the two a moment, then went back to tending the horses, they were nearly ready, he just had to check a few things before they left, he didn't want Ember or Nitar to have their saddles slide off while riding.

Ember shrugged and continued to stroke the her horse's side and smiled. "Not as much as I used to. Back home I'd ride almost every day, but not here..." Ember sighed and shrugged once again.

She looked over to Na'afian who was still checking a few things and asked, "You need any help with anything?" She was only being polite, and besides; they'd leave much sooner if he had some help.

"I wonder if I ever rode a lot..." She said, then shrugged. "I guess, I'll find out in time, hopefully." Nitar whispered, wondering if her memories will come back to her.

"Oh, stop thinking about what if it goes wrong and that junk, its annoying." Said a snappy voice, and purple round ball appeared in the air, just staying there, not moving.

Na'fian looked up when he heard that voice, and a bit of reconization in his eyes, then it left. He looked at Ember and smiled slightly. "I could use a little help." And with that, he handed her a bridle, since he only had the saddles on and ready, and now they had to get bridles on. He took a bridle himself and started putting it on one horse, and stroked its neck.

"She can think about the what if if she wants to," Ember snapped back at Nesthora. She didn't know why, but for some reason, she always had the urge to argue with her. maybe it was because she just didn't like her.

She smiled back and took the bridle from Na'afian's hands and began putting it on her horse, then, when she finished continued on with putting the bridle on Nitar's horse. "So, is that it?

"Well, dear Ember, I don't believe its good to think about that, all it brings is despair, and where would that get us?" Nesthroa snapped back, the glowing like black and purple ball growing a bit bigger.

Nitar looked at the two, and rolled her eyes a moment, the stroked one of the horses neck, and watched as Ember put the bridle on Nitar's horse. Riding seemed hard, but it looked simple.

Na'fian nodded. "Yep, every thing's ready to go." He said, and climbed unto the horse, and held the reins a bit loosely, but it was what he did.

Ember glared at Nesthora and held her tongue, knowing she wasn't worth it.

She watched as Na'afian climbed up onto his horse and then she did the same. She made herself as comfortable as possible on her horse and looked over to Nitar. "You ready?"

Slowly, Nitar, nodded to Ember and climbed onto her hors,e and felt unstable at first, but then she sat quite comfortable in the saddle. When Na'fian saw that they were on, he kicked the sides of his horse, and satring walking out the barn. Nitar followed, lightly kicking the sides of her horse, and moving forward, following the older boy.

"Seems quite easy..."Nitar said, mostly to herself.
