Bastille ran faster then Fleck, though not for long. Fleck soon sprinted ahead. He rounded a bend in the path, fear pulsing in his veins. The two rabbits passed the rocky edge of Rockback velley, breathing hard.

Fleck pushed ahead, ignoring injuries. Ignoring the fact that he had almost been killed by a doe. Ignoring the fact that Bastille had saved him.

Fleck rounded the bend before Bastille. In front of him, a dark, large shape rose up to block the sun. Fleck gasped in amazement. A horse. Though horses were only a few feet taller than rabbits, Fleck had only heard tales of the immense creatures.

"Blackstar!" Bastille cried, rounding the bend. But Fleck stayed under the horse's hooves. The great beast slowly descended. Fleck crept forward and stood on his toes to look the horse in the eyes.

"Blackstar!" Bastille shouted again.

"Whoa." Fleck whispered to the horse. Then, to Bastille, "My name isn't Blackstar. I'm not even related." Fleck said. The horse lowered it's head to stare Fleck in the eyes.

Fleck reached out a hand to stroke the hors'es velvety nose. Bastille gaped in wonder on the edge of the clearing.

"Bastille. I wonder what his name is." Fleck asked.

"Oh no. Naming is one step closer to keeping. I won't travel with that thing." Bastille replied.

"Helmerson. That suits him." Fleck said, ignoring Bastille. Helmerson was black with a white face.

"I said, not traveling with a horse." Bastille said.

"Helmerson is faster than us." Fleck argued, stroking the horse's neck.

"I just want to get there." Bastille whined.

"I need to get to First Warren before the gates are closed. And i'm injured." Fleck suddenly realized his injured foot was wrapped.

"Alright fine. But you have to ride him." Bastille said. Fleck nodded and swung onto the horse's back. Helmerson didn't budge.

A wolf's howl echoed in the rabbits ears.

"reconsider?" Fleck asked Bastille.

"No." Bastille said, running.

Fleck and Helmerson galloped beside her.

I used a horse. I'm not sure there are horses In Natalia. I might put a picture of Fleck and Helmerson here, if i can draw a horse...
