Lightning flashes, illuminating a pale horse with two riders, charging towards him over a reinforced drawbridge. He leaps to the side, and as it passes him the riders are revealed as a grim-faced woman and a girl his own size who is furious and terrified in equal measure, clutching something precious in her hand. She sees him even as he sees her, and the idea strikes her - she flings her cargo over the side of the bridge, and it sinks into the rushing water, and the horse is vanishing over the hills carrying her with it.
And then there's another horse, a black stallion, leaping over the gap of the drawbridge as it rises, and it nearly kicks his head in and he rolls away, lands on his elbows, looks up at the horse rearing to a halt, and its rider, the man who will ruin everything -
Farro wakes up with a face burning in his mind's eye.
