This time, Emmeline didn't decline Adam's help. Leaning against Adam's forearm, Emmeline slowly approached the horse.

"And he runs very fast too. You wanna try?"

"No, let me hang out with him for a while. He's so... docile."

"Yes, he is. I picked the most docile horse because I don't want you to be afraid," said Adam.

"Nightsky, do you want to be my friend?"

"You're like a kid." Adam smiled.


"Mr. Green, can I walk with him?"

"Sure," answered Adam. "Hold the reign and use his back to guide you. I will watch your back behind you."

"Thanks, Mr. Green."

Adam's heart almost leaped. Emmeline was showing appreciation toward him now.

"Don't worry. I will protect you." Adam pampered Emmeline further.

At first, Emmeline took small steps with Nightsky. All of a sudden, she mounted the horse in a speed no eyes could follow.

"Go!"

"Emma? Why charge out so suddenly?" Adam yelled.

"I'm just testing Nightsky!" Emmeline responded.

Adam was surprised. He didn't know Emmeline knew how to ride a horse. Meanwhile, Emmeline began her quest for herbs.
