“Avamir and Moonsilver lay side by side a little way off. A thick stand of chestnut trees hid them all from anyone passing by on the road. The next day, Heart woke early. As they traveled, the road began to rise. Binney had called this the High Road. By noon Heart knew why. Her legs ached, and still the road steepened. Late in the day Heart saw a farmer’s cart ahead of them. She slowed to match the pace of the clopping mules that pulled it. She had to keep a distance between the unicorns and any...one else. She was less afraid now—and she was grateful to Joseph for that. From a long way off Moonsilver would look like a noble’s horse. So would Avamir. No one would be able to tell that she wasn’t a page—not unless they came close enough to see her Gypsy clothes. When evening finally came, Heart left the steep road, her legs aching. She found another sheltered clearing, farther from the road. There were plum thickets to keep them hidden. She took Moonsilver’s armor off. He galloped in circles, then rolled to scratch his back.MoreLessRead More Read Less
