Sparky sighed. "Ok." He still glared at his feet. He didn't like feeling trapped.

"Cool! Where do we start? When do we start?" Brandon asked, Matamba walking in circles around him.

Hazel nodded, and followed where he was pointing. "Um, is Lyla here? Ashia and Justin sent me?"

Lyla smiles as she opens the door, "Yes I'm here and if they sent you you have great promise."

"Now," Luka spoke as he got Brandon on Flash, "Flash is a gentle horse."


"I don't like being trapped either," Diana spoke.

"I do? Great! To do what exactly?" Hazel said, looking around.

Brandon did not exactly like heights when it came to things that moved like a horse.

Sparky nodded. "I don't think most do." He said, and turned to her. "What do I need to learn now?"

"You need to learn peace," Diana spoke, "peace with yourself and around you. With that peace you will be able to use your skills better."


Flash stood perfectly still.
"When you're ready gently tap the riens," Luka instructs.


Lyla smiles mysteriously, "Come in."

"Okay!" Hazel said, and walked tentatively though purposefully in.

Brandon nodded, and then carefully and gently tapped the reins. He sat ridged and was scared to move and rock off balance.

Sparky nodded slowly. "Okay? When do we start, I guess?"

"Now," Diana says.

Flash took a few steps foward.
"Keep going Flash won't throw you," Luka encourages.


Lyla's home was that of a healers. Jasmine looks at Hazel and waves a paw.

Hazel waved back, smiling cheerfully. Then... "Wait...I'm going to be a healer? Why not be an Amazon princess or warrior or... or something?!" Hazel asked. She had high standards for herself in those aspects.

"Fine. How do I...You're going to tell me to meditate, aren't you?" Sparky said, trying to find a good...anything to climb.

Brandon nodded, and gulped, trying to not move. He had some unknown fear of riding, I guess.

"No you're going to climb," Diana says, "race you up the tree." At that she starts climbing up the tree.


"No," Layla says, "you're here to discover your potential. Jasmine here can help."


Flash stops and looks at Brandon.
"He won't hurt you I promise," Luka told Brandon. "Do you want me to lead you?"

Brandon hesitated, and then slowly nodded. He tried to loosen up in case he was hurting the horse, but he was afraid if he did, he would fall.

"Really? You're on!" Sparky said, climbing and leaping up the tree. He loved being up high where the wind blew and the birds cried to each other cheerfully... Also, speaking of birds, those were a rare food choice if you could catch them.

"Okay, if you say so." Hazel said, "How exactly?"

"Play with your spirit animal and Jasmine," Lyla suggests.

Diana climbs faster and faster.


Flash nods a thanks and starts moving again.
"If you tense up you risk falling," Luka starts leading Flash, "loosen up and you're less likely to get hurt."
