Want to start at the beginning? - Emma Part 1 -- Emma had seen horses before, with human riders as they passed through Paldurain. The dwin of the city had always shied away from them, giving the large animals a wide berth as they traveled the ornate, stone-paved streets of the city. Dwin held to the dwarven belief that animals were meant for laborious work, not for riding, and so had no horses. Instead they bred large plow animals to help seed fields and pull carts of ore and stone. Emma had ridden one of those, thanks to a permissive herdsman. The animal was clearly uncomfortable with her on its back, and she had a hard time keeping her balance with her short legs wrapped around it. It had been fun, a small adventure, but what she really longed for was to mount a horse and fly across the land, faster than she’d ever gone before.
