Taco waited impatiently, snorting and pawing until Isabella said he could go. The impatient horse went straight into a canter, as he knew the spot that they were going to. They cantered through town. Isabella looked back many times fully turning her body. When they got to the edge of town, she brought Taco to a trot, as they would lose Jay in a second if they were cantering.

Jayce nudged Columbus into a trot to keep up with Taco and Isabella. The large stallion's giant legs and hooves made it easy for him to keep up with them. As they trotted through town Columbus's hooves hit the rocky street with loud and low pitched 'clops'. Which carried on until they reached the edge of town where the round changed to dirt.

She slow cantered Taco through the forest, weaving through trees, often stopping, making sure they didn't lose Jay. After about 30 minutes of riding, she stopped Jay. "Close your eyes will you?" She asked, and before he could ask, "I've got Columbus."

Columbus and Jayce kept up decently well with Taco and Isabella. Despite the fact that they had to slow down a bit to take that sharper turns, since Taco is more flexible than Columbus, they stayed close to them. "Fine I suppose," he says with a small chuckle as he hands Isabella Columbus's reins.

She grabbed onto the reins and led him into a beachy area. The only spot where you can get a free visit to the ocean. "Open." She commanded at Jay. The scenery was filled with a jungly accent, but it was a beach, there were palm trees, bushes, dirt patches. It felt like a beach jungle, and it was beautiful. The ocean was a light blue, and with the sun, it looked like heaven.

Jayce opened his eyes like he was told too and blinked a few time to adjust them. He then looked around the area in awe from the beautiful sight. "This place," he says in awe, "it's so beautiful.. How did you ever come across this?" He looks at Isabella as he asks this question. A breeze comes in from the ocean and the smell of salt water mixes with the other scents around.

She smiled. "All of us know about it," she answered, "only this is my part." All the pheasants owned a part of this beach, as a reminder that they had something that the higher ranks could never take away from them. This would be something that the nobles could never have, the royals couldn't take.

He listened as Isabella spoke and nodded some, "Well it is a nice place to own. I could imagine someone living out here. Seeing the sunset over the water every night. Living off of the sea and the plants around here. It would be very peaceful."

"And watch." She carefully commanded Jay. The sun was about to set, and the water was already changing colours. It was more than magical. It was a blessing. When the sun touched the water, the water changed into a yellow colour which then faded into orange, then pink, and finally a dark blue. Taco, however, was not waiting. He was already in the water not wanting to wait anymore. He had run to the water as soon as the sun touched the water, unable to stop his undying urge. In about 0.5 seconds, he was fully covered in the water, only his face popping up every so often.

Jay watched the sunset in awe beside Isabella, he had dismounted a few moments prior. He gave Columbus a pat and the large stallion went to investigate the water that Taco seemed so excited about. Jay then chuckles as he notices Taco and asks, "Is he always like that? All in love with the water and all." As he talks he takes a step closer to Isabella, glancing back at the sunrise.
