Finn curled tighter against Rohan as they rode on the cart out to the field they wished to bring to life. Serxio, Leonid, seeds, and a very substantial picnic lunch were in the back while Finn and Rohan sat on the wooden bench in the front.

Rohan held the reins of two great, dray horses. The horses’ ears flickered towards them as if listening to them talk as they plodded along the roads slow and sure. None of the servants had been surprised that Rohan had taken to driving the cart himself, but there had been some half-hearted attempts to do it for him. But all of them knew their king liked to do things for himself and not take the servants from their duties.
