Not all princes...

Oh my - what is that - a HUMAN character! No way!

Yes way lol. He doesn't have a name at the moment, any suggestions?

As this picture represents, I'm revising Rauiri's story big time - something along these lines~

Rauiri is a young, but experienced horse who serves in a royal army. She is rather ornery and doesn't let just anyone ride her and gets fairly finicky about it (will rear/buck off novices because she is sensitive and slightly tempermental). She is also one of the "hero" horses, meaning when a hero comes running she is one of the possible mounts to take him or her on her journey. Unless the hero is a nomadic, the horse and hero hardly know one another and the horse is automatically meant to do what the hero commands them to do.

However, when the recently married princess of the kingdom is taken hostage, the prince who had married her wants to be the one to rescue her - not the hero his father-in-law "hires". But he's never done that sort of thing before and in the middle of the night, before the following morning when the hero leaves, he sneaks into the stables to leave. The horses do not obey him because they do not know him and they know he is not their rider, it is Rauiri (who is assigned to rescue the princess that morning) that steps up to give him a lift.

But Rauiri is a harsh teacher and neither of them is certain the prince has what it takes to save his princess.

Idk, it's what I have right now
