WARRIORS OF THE WAY

EPISODE 23

HOLDING ONTO MAGIC

"We're almost home." I heard him say softly as he reached to keep me from tumbling

from my horse. "You've been asleep for some time. I wondered how you've

managed to stay upright this long." "Have I truly?" I yawned. "I used to do that but that was before I lost.....  she must have been looking out for me." I heard him chuckle in the near darkness. "No. not really. You fell off several times but I caught you almost every time." "Oh, I did not!" I groaned and swung to punch his shoulder and almost fell indeed. Then I reined Snow close to his side and kissed his startled mouth and fled laughing. He caught up to me, grabbing my right hand and we rode all the way into camp that way hesitating to let go even to dismount. When we did at last after much snorting and complaining from the horses, we stood silently holding onto onr another and revelling in the magic of all we had seen and shared. There were simply no words and no reason to say any.
