As you walk towards the barn you see a girl and a horse not far off the trail. You head over towards them wanting someone to talk to. As you approach the horse turns his head to look at you. The girl with the horse also turns to face you.

"Hi! I'm Tigris, and this is Kirei. He's my Sha-Companion. We have a special bond together, and will be together till death."

Kirei nods his head in a welcoming gesture and turns his attention back to Tigris. You seem to notice that somehow Tigris and Kirei are 'talking' back and forth.

"I guess I should explain my self a little more about bonded. What I mean is that we share a kind of friendship that most people never experiance. We can talk back and forth in our minds and such. I got Kirei at Sha-Haven if you have any spare time say Hi to Jaysen, he's the Lord Keeper of Sha-Haven. Maybe you could even bond with a Sha-Companion."

Proceed to the barn.

Or go back to the main chamber.
