Bab 98: The Old Mainland

"It's safer to always have my own horse with me while I'm on dry land," Serenica said.

Spade agreed with her.

After a series of misunderstandings they settled on a black mare that was called Norra. Serenica felt she got along with the animal, as Norra was patient and her new owner was hasty. The seller told Serenica that Norra could be manipulated with carrots.

She took the horse outside the inn and fed her. She wanted to start her relationship with the animal on a positive note.
