snow. Her brief encounters with Ruben’s horses had left her timid and nervous around them. “Hello,” she said to him as she moved closer.
                  He looked up at her and licked the remaining drops of water from his lips. “Hello.” He paused.
                  “Now why did I just do that? It’s not like anyone but the dragon can understand us horses anyway.”
                  “I can,” she said as she sat down next to him on the riverbank.
                  “You can?” She nodded and smiled up into his brown eyes. “How?”
                  “I can understand all creatures.”
                  The stallion neighed happily. “I’m Luca.”
                  She smiled at him. “I’m Alyssa.” She dipped a toe into the river and giggled. “Would you mind if
                  I went for a little swim?”
                  He laughed. “Why would I?”
                  She blushed and looked away modestly. “I wasn’t going to have this dress on.”
                  Luca almost fell over laughing. “You two-leggeds are funny. Do I have clothes on?” She shook               her head no. “So why would I mind if you do or not?”
                  She giggled and stood up. Within minutes the dress lay neatly in the grass and she was up to her               waist in the river. The cool water swirled around her body as she submerged herself up to her neck. She               swam over to Luca and splashed him playfully with water. He shook off quickly and reared as he laughed.
                  “Oh yeah?” he grinned.
                  She smiled back at him. “Yep.”
                  He leapt into the river and drenched her in a wave of water. She swam between his legs, her wings held tightly against her back. She smiled at his velvety side as they danced together through the clear blue paradise. Alyssa playfully gripped one of his front legs and twisted her body under his.
                  Luca crashed sideways into the river in a rush of water and thrashing legs. She swam to the surface as Luca recovered and shook out his white coat. He smiled at her and used his big head to push her backwards into the water. She toppled in and then came up with her back to him.
                  Alyssa ran her hands through her long hair and over her muscular stomach. The water barely               came up to her mid-thigh and she giggled as it swirled around her. She looked up and instantly froze. Her blood ran cold and her muscles shook with fear.
                  Marcus stared back at her, his eyes a reflection of her own shock. Her body suddenly went limp and she fell to her knees in the water. Her arms went to her chest and she started shaking.
                  “Marcus!” she yelped. He turned his back to her and blushed deeply.
                  “I did not mean to spy,” he called to her over his shoulder. “Solara said you were by the river and I did not expect you to be like you are now.”
                  She rose to her feet in the water and waved to Luca as he disappeared into the forest. “Is there something you wanted Marcus?”
                  “The stores in town will be opening soon and I wanted to make sure we were there early to avoid the crowds. So if you would please get dressed we can get going.” She nodded slowly and walked out of the water. Her body dried quickly in the rising sun. Alyssa slipped the dress over her head and walked to him.
                  “Marcus?” she said as she placed a hand on his shoulder.
                  “Is it safe?”
                  She giggled. “Yes, you may look now.” He opened his eyes and smiled at her. “May I ask
