Turning, you look further into the cavern and see yet another stall...

But this stall seems different from the others. It's larger, for one thing, and the door looks like the horse could open it from the inside... 'That's strange,' you think. On the wall, near the stall, is a sign... "Jaysen's Silver Feather Token, " you read quietly. "Wonder what that's for..."

Quietly musing to yourself, you suddenly realize you are not alone... "Hello, may I help you? Are you lost?" Wait a minute! That voice was in your head! You spin around and are confronted by... a horse. But horses can't talk, can they? "Only my kind and only when necessary to strangers..."

"Who... what... are you?" you ask, completely flustered. "My name is Ka'tena. I'm Dreamsmythe's Sha-Companion. And you are?"

"I'm a visitor... a traveler," you manage to stutter. "Ah, I saw Patch with the horses. Didn't realize he had visitor duty. I apologize for startling you." The horse, er Companion, standing in front of you looks repentant. "No harm done," you say. "Where... how...?"

"Where did I come from? How did Dreamsmythe bond with me? That is a long story... one you will have to ask Dreamsmythe about. I've told her that you were here and had questions about us. She's on her way."

You can: stay and learn more about Ka'tena and Dreamsmythe's bonding or visit another part of the weyr.
