Do We Have a Deal?

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 41563

Astra wondered whether she should give up on the stallion. Though she would have a far better chance of getting away if she could somehow tame him, it seemed like that might take a long time, even if it was possible at all. And she didn't have a long time.

Then she noticed that the horse had trotted off. He was standing in front of a shed in the far corner of the field, looking at her. Was he trying to get her attention?

She came over and in the dim light was just able to see that the door of the shed was not locked, but had a fastener that human hands could easily undo but which a horse could not. "Is there something in this shed that you want?" Astra asked Mercury. "Are you trying to tell me that if I open the door, in exchange you will let me ride you?"

Astra almost felt that the horse understood what she had said. "All right," she said. "Let's see what's in here then." She unfastened the door and opened it.

  1. The shed was evidently a food store for Mercury. As well as hay and oats, there were stocks of "luxury" items such as apples and carrots. Astra hoped that the horse wouldn't want to feed on them for too long.
  2. The "shed" was actually a stable. Inside was a mare.
  3. The "shed" was actually a stable. Inside was a donkey whom Mercury had befriended.
