The Queen commissioned a painting of my horse as a Blue Eve gift.  The horse himself was my sixteenth birthday present.  She bred him, trained him, and even named him specifically for me.  His parents are the fastest horses in her stable.  As a result of his great training, he spooks at nothing, and his speed rivals even the greatest racers.  He never doubts my commands.  The Queen named him Secret Of The Night.  His coloring is all black so that he will be hidden in darkness. 

   I ride Secret almost every day.  I hate the assignments that do not allow me to bring him along.  He is the only one I can trust; him and the Queen.  It would seem strange, however, for a lowly servant or scullery maid to own such a fine steed.

    No matter what the mission, I bring at least one of my dogs.  They are trained as well as Secret, obeying commands instantly, protecting me, even carrying and fetching things.  They are all Hunting Hounds, which many people own. 

    Owen was another gift from the Queen.  She chose the best of the kennels for me.  He is a loyal companian.  I rescued Fisher from the river when he was a puppy.  Someone had dumped him, and he had scars from abuse.  Now he is the biggest and silliest Hunting Hound I have ever known.  Birdy is a few years older than Owen and Fisher, but still young.  Her wisdom helps to keep Fisher in check.  She is small, but fiercely protective.
