The Beginning <------------> Quest Continues
(Herd of the Sleipnir )
The sudden sound of fast hoofbeats was dulled by the soft forest floor, but it caught Murhes's attention soon enough for him to jerk his head up from the grass. Pines were casting warm shadows around him but occasionally a bright ray of sunlight would and could shine blindingly in the woods. Murhes pointed his ears towards the sound, careful and ready to turn away if it was a beast, but it did sound and smell like a horse. Someone was breathing loudly and skidding to a hasty trot from a full gallop.
A black stallion stumbled across tree roots and rocks on the forested hillside and stopped to stare at him.
"I have a message to the kings of Holt," the tall black told Murhes. It was odd, but when the stranger went on to tell that he was already weary from the travel, Murhes considered the offer, ears moving warily. He did feel sorry for the messenger - huffing and sweaty from his run - but the reason for such a hurry could be worrying.
"What makes the message so dire?" Murhes asked in return, not unkindly but not in sympathy either, tilting his head and waiting for an answer. "And why should I worry if it gets delivered or not?" (207 words)
You walk around your kingdom, smelling the fresh air and eating grass when a Pure black stallion from your territory gallops toward you huffing from being tired. He says he has a message for the kings of this kingdom but he's to tired to run any longer. He asks you to deliver the message. What do you do?
1. You Stare confused at the stallion and ask him why should you do it?
2. You refuse, you have better things to do then play messenger.
3. You nod your head and accept the request!

Just checking - do I have to keep count of all of this on some separate sta.sh etc. or are they in some group count?

The stallion mutters in a tired voice that you are the first horse he came across, as a matter of fact you live here and it's in your business to keep this place safe for your herd! You:
1. Nod and take the request to deliver the message, you are also curious as you have never met any of the Kings!
2. You don't bother and go back to eating the grass, who cares anyway?
3. You refuse, It's not like the king can't do this himself right?
