Terris had just finished repairing the tavern, and was settling down for a well-earned cup of mead when Whisper, his eld'rani came padding sedately from the direction of their house. The knight waved in greeting to the large cat, who unceremoniously deposited a card in his lap. He flipped it open and read aloud.
"Happy birthday! A special present is waiting for you be hind the inn. Come and collect it before nightfall." Terris tilted his head, curious, then shrugged.
"Whisper, who gave this to you? And how did they know it was my birthday? I didn't even know it was my brithday!" he asked, but the cat was already fast asleep, his nose resting daintily on his crossed paws.
With a sigh, the knight downed his mead, got up and made the short walk to the back of the Inn, to see what it was all about.

A white female Silvian Warhorse scratched at the ground impatiently. She had been promised a bond hours ago. She knew she never should have trusted that strange man, but he had promised her a bond and mere seconds after she had agreed she had appeared here at behind this building. And she was not alone either. There was a white male warhorse here as well. He was not from her herd and she was uncertain she wanted to share her bond with him. Finally she spotted a human making his way towards them. She ran over to him. You're the human that's going to bond to me? You're late, but that's okay. She eagerly pushed the bond towards Terris. To us, the male said, coming up next to the female warhorse and Terris. What? she asked, trying to pay as little attention to the male as possible. He is supposed to bond to both of us. The male gentle placed his bond on Terris and waited for him to accept.

Terris felt the familiar tug of the bonds, closed his eyes and opened his mind to accept them. The mare, Tiskel, had a calm presence about her. The bond trickled into him gently, then stuck and he opened his eyes, the start of a grin forming on his face. Before he was fully aware of himself, Ranen, the stallion bonded with the force of a crashing wave.
The double bond had left him breathless and confused, but he recovered quickly, and then, without another word, the three companions made the short journey home.
