"I don't think I can get the horse. Nigel had him taken
away and Carl Drinkwater is keeping him in a corral out on
the North Forty. I can get the saddle from the old barn,
but I don't have the Crest anymore."
"Do not worry about the Crest. Bring the saddle to me.
Anza must know where the corral and this North Forty are
located."

Anza, Qingling, Arthur, Longwei, Xandr, Little Bear, Payta,
and Yellow Flower are in the old barn standing in the Circle
of Stones. The Black Raccoon scampers into a dark corner
and watches from behind a hay bale.
Katipo returns exclaiming, "I have Gray Wolf, and the
others from Theia secured where they won't get in the
way. The raven will bring me the saddle ... but," she looks
at Anza and Xandr, "you have to get the horse."
Xandr asks, "Okay, so where is he?"
Looking at Anza, "The raven said he is in a place called
the North Forty."
"That's way out at the far end of our property."
"How long will it take to get there?"
"It's a long way out there. It'll probably take the better
part of a day; and then all night to get back here."
Xandr looks at Anza. "We're running out of time. You're
gonna have to do some extreme magic, oh-h-h Chosen
One."
"We're all going. Do you remember the diversion we
discussed? It's time. Everyone outside," he looks at Xandr,
"except you," he grabs Xandr's arm. "We'll be right back."
