Bab 67: The Hunt (18)

*Neigh!*

After Adrian fed the black steed another one of the black petals, it jumped in ecstasy before galloping around him. Adrian's uniform and skin were still besmirched by blood, yet to be washed away by the lake water. There was now only an empty stalk in his hand; there were no petals.

Adrian sighed as he dropped the black stalk on the ground before beckoning the horse to come to him with his hand.

The horse followed and approached his 'generous' employers. Adrian reached out his right hand, aiming for its head. The horses did not decline as it complied to his wishes; it bowed down its head a bit.

Adrian caressed and patted the head of the horse. "Are you sure you are going to stay here?"

The dark creature looked into his eyes and neighed.

Adrian looked into its pitch black eyes and heaved another sigh. "Ok. Go on." He moved back his hand.

*Neigh!*
