Travelling to Whimsical Blood Stables...

"I'm almost there, I'm turning down Oak now and then it'll be a pretty straight shot after." Arcel replied to the voice on the phone. "Yes, then afterwards I'll head to Bloodstone, the staff said that it would be about a week until arrangements for the breeding are accomodated anyways, so I might as well, eh?" He schukled to himself.

The voice fuzzed and prattled back to him, he vaguely listened but was much more concerned with keeping the truck between the lines of the road as the daylight began to fadeThe drive bad but it was windy and humid, causing for some unplanned things to go awry and he couldn't remember how many times he had stopped for water just in the past 4 hours. The voice realized Arcel had trailed off and wished him luck and noted his flight back to the UK was in three weeks so he had better find some way to occupy himself.

It was well into the little hours of the morning as Arcel pulled down the drive, the trailer carefully easing along behind him. He couldn't wait to pass out once the horses were loaded and did the best he could to keep any other plans tucked in the back of his head so he could see some sleep tonight. He was so excited and entralled with the idea of seeing his old home once again that the mere notion of the thought gave him a shot of 5 hour energy.

He was met by a few stable hands and a trainer as he stopped, soon enough all the horses had been loaded into their respective stalls and tucked in with hay. It was just barely warm enough for them to go without sheets but they were grateful to feel the circulation of the air and to be out of the rattling box. In the morning they would run a few practice breezes before meeting with the head trainer and coming up with a Winter program for the Thoroughbreds.

This isn't forever, it's just a step. A Phase. Arcel reminded himself, taking a deep breath as the slipped under his covers and into bed.

Just, one more year.

He dozed off, his eyes slipping under their lidsas the moon kissed him good night.
