"For now, we will travel on our own," Gareth said. "It may be dangerous, but to be honest, it is no less dangerous than any other route we may go with."
"Fair," Jasper whinnied.
"We can move quickly on our own and use the amulet for protection," Gareth continued. He looked east. "It is possible we can meet up with your concubines as they are traveling. That would be ideal."
"It would," Jasper agreed. She moved her hooves impatiently. "I am already getting sick of being a mare in heat and would like for Anya to fix that."
"In the meantime, I will keep you satisfied," Gareth whickered in Jasper's ear. Jasper shivered. She felt like a slave to her new body, unable to control her insatiable desires.
"I trust you to do so," Jasper said, trying to hide just how alluring she had found that. Gareth nuzzled her gently. "Now, let us leave before the concubines get too far ahead of us."
"I will lead the way, my Princess," Gareth neighed. He set off. Jasper followed close behind, silently praying they would find Anya so she could be free of her difficult body.
