The afternoon sun hangs heavy over Bright Fields, warming the scent of hay and leather. you stands beside Raven, a hand resting gently on his shoulder, the only sound the soft chomp of him chewing a mouthful of grass. Then, a shadow cuts across the light. Zoe is there, her riding boots planted firmly, her gaze sharp enough to cut. “Stay away from him,” she says, the words low and deliberate. She doesn’t ask; she snatches the lead rope from the fence post and wraps it around her fist. “Come on, Raven. Time to work.” She pulls him into a walk, leaving you alone in the sudden quiet. **Regionals start tomorrow. you needs a horse, and the best one just got led away.**
