Lasgol breathed in the cold winter air. It smells of war, of serious trouble,
he thought. He was leaning against his faithful Trotter, stroking the pony’s
muzzle. It might just be my imagination… He shook his head. No, knowing
my luck, there’ll be serious trouble in store for me, for sure. But I’ll face it.
Whatever it may be. He sighed deeply, letting out a puff of steam.
His eyes turned to look at the bridge and the village at the end of the
valley. They were not just any old bridge and village. It was his own village,
Skad. On that bridge he had taken an all-but-deadly beating at the hands of
those three bullies a year ago, when he had left to join the Rangers. He
shivered at the memory of the pain he had endured.
Suddenly Camu became visible and jumped off his shoulder. He climbed
down to Trotter’s back, then up his mane until he was sitting on the strong
Norghanian pony’s head.
“Camu, what are you doing?”
The creature looked at the river, gave a shrill cry and began to flex his
four legs as if he were dancing.
Trotter snorted uneasily.
“Oh no…”
That was all Lasgol could say. Camu slid down to the ground, his paws
still clutching Trotter’s neck. The poor pony neighed, startled, and bucked.
Lasgol had to pull on the reins and hold fast to control him. He nearly fell off.
“Easy, boy, easy!” he said, finally managing to soothe him. “Good boy,
easy now, it’s nothing,” he whispered in the pony’s ear while he stroked his
back.
He searched for Camu. The mischievous creature was in the middle of the
river, chasing after a rainbow trout as if he were a born predator.
“Camu! Come back!” But the creature was leaping from one side of the
river to the other in pursuit of the trout. “What the heck are you doing? You
don’t hunt! You’re an herbivore!”
The creature ignored him and went on bouncing and splashing along the
river. Lasgol snorted. He’s playing, all this is new to him. And so it was, and
he seemed to be enjoying himself immensely. Ever since they had left the
Camp, the creature had not stopped experimenting with everything he came
across. This had left Lasgol in more than one tight spot. He needed to be very
careful. If he were unable to control the creature, someone would find him
out.
“That’s enough, stop playing around and come back here before someone
sees you.”
Camu raised his head and gave him a look of protest with his bulging
eyes. The everlasting smile which decorated his face no longer fooled Lasgol.
He knew when Camu was upset or unhappy.
“Come here! You’re a rascal, you really are!”
As he feared, Camu ignored his call and went on playing at catching fish,
leaping along the river with shrill cries of joy.
