A girl was out in the darkness of the early summer morning. She had short golden bronze hair and hazel eyes. She wore just a white tunic and tan breeches, no coat scince it was summer time. Behind her stood a perfect looking black quarter horse with mane and tail a cream color. The girl was packing her saddle bags and hooking them onto the burnt sienna saddle. When she was done, she hoisted the saddle on his back, but did not fasten the straps. She then went inside the tack room and went to the wall where they hung the bridles for the uncountable quarter horses at the girl's ranch. She snatched a black bridle with brass buckles and on the side, where the horse's cheek would go, there was an ivory plate that had 'The Necromancer' that was his name. When the horse saw her pick his bridle up, he troted over to the tackroom door and stuck in his head, the saddle almost feel off.
The girl smiled, giggled, and then shook her head. He was so tame and loving, unlike most the other horses here at Pine Willow Ranch. Never fought off anything, even if the girl wasn't riding him, he knew how to behave like a gentleman. He knew where he was going this early, it didn't really make a difference, he would get bobarded, and get to his friends at the same time. The girl walked to him and slipped the bit into his mouth and the top of the bridle over his ears. She rubbed his forehead and then scratched his ears for him, "You look dashing," she told him, then she told him, "now back up so I can get out and fasten that old saddle onto you." He answered with a nod of his head and then did as he was told. She fasten the saddle onto his back and then led him out of the stables. The sun was just barely starting to move over the horizon into the sky but none-the-less, it was still dark.
When the girl was on the horses back, another girl by the name of Kaeli came out from the stables on a bay quarter horse. Kaeli wore similar clothing, but she was taller than her friend. Kaeli had dark chestnut hair and emerald eyes. Kaeli mounted her horse, just as 40 hound dogs came ripping over the baren trail terra to the girls. Horses and girls stood calmly as they were bombarded by the hound dogs. When Kaeli had had enough, she yelled "Hunt! Hunt for the scent of the fox." then all at once, the dogs turned 'round and ran into the bushes and into the shrubbery, they were sniffing for foxes, a practicce for the hunt in England when they all left to go across the sea. While the dogs sniffed and looked around, Kaeli and the girl sat on their walking horses, chatting amoungst themselves. A few dogs barked and yipped, which meant that they had found it. The girl whistled and all of the dogs came back to them, once again bombarding them. The sun was starting to rise up from the horizon and Kaeli yelled to them, "Now go! Go to where you came from!" and the dogs left, ripping the barren terra to shreds.
With the practice hunt over, the two girls galloped on the trail that went through the few tall red woods, and the many pine and aspen and led into the sunrise. They had a forest, a forest of friendship. That no man in the universe, alive nor dead, could tear apart.
This is a true story. I know this because that girl that rode on The Necromancer, was me.

The Lies She Wrote
Lost within the deep confines of her mind, the girl wrote about her life as best she could. Despite the fact that over half of what she wrote was a total and complete lie. [no, that doesn't apply to me...]
