Storm At the Edge of Time (1994)
“It was a horse, a shaggy gray horse. Her eyes flicked to its back, but it carried no rider.
The horse, however, was staring just as hard at her. Its eyes in the firelight were bright blue. With a snort, it took several steps closer and roughly butted each of them with its head. Then it nudged the staff at their feet.
Arni jumped up. “It’s him! Urkar’s a horse!”
“Ridiculous!” Tyaak said.
“Why?” Jamie asked, thinking about blue-eyed sheep and owls. “He said that outside the circle nearly the only... thing he had power to do was change shapes. And look at the eyes.”
“It’s an animal. A blue-eyed animal.”
Standing up, Jamie tentatively patted the horse’s neck. “All right, but it’s just the kind of animal we need to get out of here before anyone tracks us down.”
“But there are three of us,” Tyaak pointed out.
The horse turned and trotted off into the rain and wind. Jamie was about to snap that now they didn’t even have one horse, when they heard several whinnies and saw their horse returning, herding two others as if it were a sheepdog.MoreLess
