Title: Cavalryman Rating: G Couple/Character: Raoul/Wyldon Event: 110 word hurdles Words: 110 Summary: He should have given him "Cavall's Heart."
The men of the Own lived and died by their horses. They were cavalrymen; horseback was home, and they loved their mounts. They rode the finest horses in the kingdom – they had to. Stefan, Onua, the palace stables, provided them with steeds, and they were beautiful, strong animals. Ideal. Even so, the Commander preferred another breeder. He had the best two horses a knight – a man – could ever hope for. Going for months and years on the road, having them with him was like having a piece of the man who raised them; a brace, and an encouragement. He needed that, sometimes. Amberfire, he bought outright. Drum was a gift.

Oh, this is lovely - the idea of a connection between them in this way, on top of the summary, floored me.

I love how you've made a connection between the two of them (it's even better that they're two of my fave characters!). I like how the relationship is kept a bit ambiguous, so you can read into it whatever you like. The line is my favourite. It's so well done
