As Zelda waited for the stable hand to bring her horse she contemplated what she was doing...."You really need your head checked..." she muttered to herself.
"Who needs their head checked ma'm?" Anton asked, leading up Abercrombie in all his finery.
Zelda smiled, "I do Anton, I do. I need you to rough up this saddle a bit, make it look worn and old."
"Easy done your majesty." Anton replied as he pulled out a dull knife and started scraping some of the plentiful dirt into the saddle. He then wrapped a dirty looking cloth on the reins and bit and ran it back and forth, dulling the gleam on the silver.
"Thanks Anton, I owe you." Zelda said as she pulled herself into the saddle, "and by the way, you didnt see me!" she cried as she dug her heels into her horses side and took off into the forest.
She had an idea of where Naekos was heading, and her plan was to get ahead of the group and then tag along, as a traveller looking for adventure.
