The Solamnic Knights checked their steeds. The leader of the escorts, Chakrin, a Knight of the Sword, turned towards Stark. “Lady Soliante, we have come as far as we may. Our orders were but to escort you to the borders of Solamnia.”Stark bowed slightly and gracefully slid off the horse, patting it on the nose. “Thank you for your kind protection, Sir Chakrin. We are grateful for it. Unlike the rest of my Silvanesti kin, I have no talent for pretty words nor long winded niceties. I am sure that we may have averted many dangers because of your presence.”Chakrin blushed. “Milady, I would love to go with you but my duties prevent me from doing such.”As Stark handed the reins of her steed over to Chakrin, the horse gave Stark a sorrowful look and nuzzled her. “Where we are going, we will not need the horses. The forest is thick and I can discern no path for them. Besides, they will be safer with you.”The rest of the party dismounted and handed over their reins to the remaining Knights.Chakrin dismounted to accept the reins from Stark. “Milady, I will be heading back to Elgarth Keep. But I will keep the horses at the village of Ulstad. We passed by that one yesterday. The horses will be in the care of the village head, a man by the name of Nampf. You may reclaim the horses there.”Stark nodded. “As always, I am grateful for all your kind help. You and your men are a credit to the Knighthood. We shall be leaving now. Farewell.”And with that, Stark turned and strode away, leaving her horse looking mournfully after her.Bidding their farewells, the rest of the party followed her.</blockquote>
