Oh Wow! Oh Wow! What a way to start a new adventure. I am already hooked. When it comes to writing adventure stories, you re among the best I have read so far. You should be working for a studio somewhere. You are definitely very skilled in this genre.

    Awww, thank you so much, nomi! You really know how to make a writer feel good about herself!! I really have tried other genres, but they don't usually work out for me. Somewhere, I just start making up fantasy. So, thank you for the six stars, and thank you for the comments.

    Big hugs,
    Rhonda

This is a winner. I can feel it. Nothing beats a story with horses, beauty, gods and evil lurking. I don't know where you get great pictures. I didn't find anything to stumble over in the reading and would have given a six but out. Esther

Well, I don't know exactly what this guys intentions are, but they certainly aren't good. So, I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens next. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very interesting story with an unexpected problem. The simple horse ride in the woods becomes an attempt at kidnapping. White Lightning carries Diantha out of danger, but Cassie is left behind pinned under her fallen horse. Looking forward to what happens next.

Excellent writing. This chapter held my attention from start to finish. Your words bring the characters to life in a realistic manner. I love the artwork you included with the story. Nice work.

Hello Rhonda,
This is an excellent, suspenseful chapter with a surprise intruder at the end.
It appears White Lightning may be one of the immortal horses like the one the twins bargained for.
Wasn't Dianthe the name of Theo's mother? Or is that just a coincidence?
The intruder seems like a specter in cowboy hat and boots. :)
Wonderful action and suspense.
Well done
Best Wishes.
Robert

Minor suggestions:
exchanging songs as had been done for generations [untold]. I'd drop the "untold" as unnecessary.

that promise would [fall through] perhaps, would be short lived.

    Hi Robert,
    Thank you so much for the excellent review and most welcome 6 stars.
    It is no coincidence on the names. This is a prequel to the last book. It is the history of the parents of Theo.
    Also, good job on nailing who the guy was that came after Diantha. He will still be in the next chapter.

    White Lightning isn't immortal, but she is the dam of Nifty, the one's the Twins ended up with in the sequel.

    Great memory!! And thanks for the suggestions.

Oh Rhonda, that was awesome and awful. I'm glad White Lightening and Nutmeg could talk to each other and has taken Diantha away, but I don't think Cassie is safe now! That man has a gun! I can't wait for the next chapter. I'm in hospital with another acute asthma attack. So hopefully I'll be home before the next chapter. Well done, my friend. Xx Sandra

    Sandra, thank you so very much for the six stars, my friend! You've brightened my day!!
    I'm sorry you in hospital, but glad they got you where you can get help. Wayne has breathing issues now and then and they are so scary to me. Thank you for taking time with my chapter. Cassie is safe because she's not who he was after, and he hasn't given up the chase.
    Big warm hugs,
    Rhonda
