" Two towering beasts were brought to us. I do not say this lightly for I am the tallest man I know and Alexander isn't that much shorter than me. These great horses looked me squarely in the eye; which was something most people couldn't manage. They were rather terrifying to behold; made entirely of muscle and grit.

"Yes, they're perfect." Alexander smiles and I wonder if he has lost his mind.

He puts a hand to each of their large muzzles. Rather than destroy him, the two massive horses seem calmed by his presence. "
