" The Kelpie Folk alone in lonely lanes Gladly take the horse's reins, Innocence the creature feigns Then takes the rider down To the loch-side so remote; The rider who the Kelpie caught Is murdered now without a thought; In icy loch they drown. The Kelpie (N. Baker; 2010) "

― H.L. Macfarlane , Lord of Horses (Bright Spear Trilogy #2)
