EXCERPT FROM Wings Over Tremeirchson
The
sound of a galloping horse whipped all four heads toward the livery and the
village beyond.
“Corryn,
up now!” Branwen said.
He
put one foot into a stirrup and swung up on Ceri’s back. The horse pointed her
nose in the air and snorted, her wings stretched out to their fullest. Grigor
tightened his grip on her lead rope, reaching for the clip that would release
the mare once Corryn was strapped in.
Ralf’s
jaw dropped in disbelief as Davyd reined in the livery horse. “Unhand that
mare!” the tavern keeper called in authoritative fury.
Branwen
stood between Davyd and Ceri, hands on her hips and head thrown back in her
Celtic warrior pose. “She is ours now! Corryn, go!”
Corryn
gathered the reins and kicked Ceri into motion. The mare reared, pulling the
lead rope out of Grigor’s hand. Ralf could see the whites of her eyes as she
hopped backwards, wings floundering, the rope trailing.
“Come
on, baby, fly!” Corryn shouted.
Ceri
bolted forward, ears still plastered against her head. The sudden jerk threw
Corryn backwards. He lost his stirrups and bounced out of the saddle along the
mare’s rump. Still holding the reins, he fell sideways onto a wing.
Grigor
grabbed for the lead rope and missed. Branwen screamed and ran to help. She let
go of the other three horses, who neighed and backed away. Still on horseback,
Davyd urged his horse forward, knocking Ralf to the ground.
From
his hands and knees, Ralf stared in disbelief as Corryn slid off Ceri’s wing
and landed in the grass where she’d been peacefully grazing only minutes ago.
Ceri reared again, but Davyd grabbed her lead rope and pulled her down.
Dismounting, he stroked the winged mare’s nose to calm her. She trembled under
his touch. The three livery horses disappeared over the hill toward home.
Branwen
stood horrified, eyes wide above her hands clasped over her mouth. Ralf stood
up and brushed off his skinned knees, taking a deep shaky breath. Corryn did
the same. Grigor hung his head in defeat.
“You
incompetent, stupid children!” Davyd raged. “You could have injured a very
valuable animal!” Ceri flattened her ears again at his tone, and Davyd
continued in a calmer, colder voice. “I chose to ignore you when this idea of a
winged horse for Tremeirchson was just a crazy notion, but I can’t have you
endangering High Meadow.”
