“Camu! Come here!” Lasgol called to the creature as he mounted Trotter.
Camu turned his head and looked at him from the top of a boulder by the
road with his large eyes and everlasting smile. He began his characteristic
dance, flexing his four legs and wagging his long tail. He had grown quite a
lot during the year and now was the size of a cat, although for some strange
reason he always gave the impression of being much smaller, as if he shrank
in size when looked at.
“I said come here!” Lasgol repeated, more forcefully. Trotter, alarmed by
the order, snorted. The pony too had grown quite a lot during the last seasons,
and in his case it showed in his muscles, which were even sturdier. He was
only a hand taller, and would not grow much more. Norghanian ponies were
very strong and sturdy but small. Perfect companions for the harsh, snowy
mountains.
Camu shrieked in delight at the sight of some squirrels and bounded into
the oak wood, intent on chasing them.
Lasgol snorted in frustration. “You’re a good pony,” he told Trotter,
patting his neck. “But Camu is a rascal and a pain in the neck. And he’s only
getting worse.”
He turned to examine the oak-wood. He had chosen the northern path
because he knew that if he approached the village along the river, Camu
would start chasing the rainbow trout and they would run the risk of someone
seeing him. But in his plan he had not taken the squirrels into account. He
calculated how long he had left, without taking his eyes off the little creature,
which was climbing an oak after a poor squirrel that was looking at him in
puzzlement. They were very close now, about six hundred paces from Skad,
his village. He was coming back to spend the vacation weeks before he
started his third year of training as a Ranger.
He looked for the sun among the clouds. He could barely glimpse it in a
cloudy, threatening sky. It was so cold that it hurt to breathe. They were at
the end of winter and there were still a couple of heavy snowfalls to come
before spring arrived. He thought about his situation. He had managed to
survive two years of instruction – and survive was the right word, because
they had tried to kill him on several occasions.
