Kelly rode lazily through the streets of Luna in the dusk hours perusing the vendors' wares now and then. Her crimson stallion began tossing his head and pawing the sandstone restlessly. "Easy boy. What has you so worked up eh?" She patted his neck to try and ease him then urged him down the road toward the main city square to drop off a piece of jewelry with the banker.

After paying a visit to the banker, she rode to the south entry of Luna. 'How long has it been since we last had a look about Sanctan lands?' Her mount half reared in anticipation and without a movement from her, bolted into a gallop. He whinnied loud as if to say "Here I come!" Kelly let him run at his own pace, getting it out of his system. A high-strung mount was the last thing she needed. It was hard enough to deal with a high-strung daughter.

They rode down the road and came to the marble bridge. Her mount suddenly put on the breaks, coming to a sudden stop with his hooves not quite touching the bridge. Kelly gripped tight and slid off his back to stand next to him with a fist full of mane.
"What is it boy?" She dropped the hair and slowly crouched down to study the ground, and pulled Gravedigger into her hands. She studied the area but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Yet her warhorse still seemed skittish and faced the marble bridge with ears fully perked.

"There's no one around. At least, not yet." She turned and mounted then tried several more times to get him to move forward and each attempt only ending in his rearing and avoiding the bridge. She growled in rising agitation but decided not to force the issue. "When you are ready then." She then turned him to the west and they rode off into the northwest, a smile upon her lips. There was more than one way into the Sanctan lands.
