After about 5 minutes of galloping, I got Skyla to slow down to a halt and I hopped off and led the way eventually we got to the forest river which was one of my favourite secret places that only I knew, never told anyone not my mother, nor my father not even my brother it was a place for me and Skyla to be at. This part of the forest was my favourite place because it was divided perfectly. If we went north, we would go to the beach where the roaring waves were, if we went south, we would be heading back to the castle, if we went east, we would be heading to the river mouth and, if we went west, we would be going to the village. I dropped my bag down and let Skyla take a break to relax while I enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Skyla eventually relaxed and came back to me clearly worried and hungry; I usually am not this frantic with her so she could clearly tell. I have a special bond with her that no one could have, so I know I sound crazy but I told her everything that happened and start crying, when I finished telling Skyla I gave her the snacks I brought her and I began thinking I've been acting like a child, I have should not have acted the way I did especially in front of my parents I acted like a 5 year old and has just lost their toy because they were meant to sleep. I thought that I should go back and apologise but my pride got in the way and prevented me from moving. So, there I sat in the peaceful calming forest and slowly drifted off into a peaceful sleep

I woke up to a restless Skyla becoming wary of her surroundings, I must've fallen asleep I murmured to myself. I look around it was around 4:30 in the afternoon I gather my stuff to get ready to head back to my room, as I gathered my stuff I heard a horse in the distance, I looked at Skyla to make sure it wasn't her so I grabbed my stuff and grabbed her lead rope and went towards the horse that was making the noise but what I saw next is not what I expected.
