Tough post, but it's done. I feel so guilty, too. I tried hard to save the horse, but I realized...if a horse is that frightened and didn't allow himself to be caught, then even if it did escape from the stall, what were the chances it'd find its way out? I didn't see much chance. I'm sorry, Leof.
However...Elempi has
often told me that conflict is good in stories. I figure this'll provide a lot of conflict for Leof and Thornden. *sigh*
