7 The Stall

CHAPTER 7

The Stall The children led the pegasus back to the royal stables. "I'll talk with André and Grom first thing in the morning," said Lucas. André and Grom were the two finest wizards in Wrenly. "But don't tell them we have the pegasus," warned Clara. "Then the whole kingdom will find out." "Don't worry; I won't," said Lucas reassuringly. "I'll be clever. They will never suspect a thing." Clara looked relieved. When they got near the stalls, Lucas went ahead to make sure no one was around. "All clear," he whispered upon his return. Then they walked the pegasus into an empty stall and covered him with a large wool blanket.

"Without your wings showing, you look like a regular horse," Lucas declared. "And hopefully, the hunter won't recognize you either." The pegasus blew air through his nostrils. He seemed to like the safety of the enclosed stall.

"Well, I'd better be going before my parents get worried," Clara said. "I'll come back first thing in the morning." Ruskin squawked. "Shhh!" scolded Lucas. Clara kneeled down and hugged Ruskin. "I'll see you in the morning too," she whispered.

The dragon crooned happily and curled up on the straw beside the pegasus. "Looks like Ruskin wants to stay the night," said Clara. "Good thinking, Ruskin," Lucas said, patting his dragon on the head. "You can keep the pegasus company." "And stay on the lookout!" added Clara.
