All of a sudden, they heard in the distance several horses whining.

"Hurry!" Said Ned. " We need to see if someone is with those horses and find a way out of here!"

They ran down the city square. Ahead was an old man. He was holding onto the reigns of two large horses that were moving around nervously and kicking about.

"You two knights will look over my horse won't you? I cannot stand to see my horses killed by monsters! Take the horses and ride away!" Ned hopped onto his horse with ease. Beard very slowly mounted the horse. He looked like he was going to be sick.

"You two aren't knights!" The old man picked up his shovel.

Ned slapped the butt of his horse and yelled "YAW". The horse jumped forward and started to gallop. Beard's horse also jumped forward. He clung to the horses mane for dear life. Beard had never ridden a horse before. The horse ran forward towards the old man's house on the edge of Beer town. Ned's horse ran towards a small fence on the side of the house, and then suddenly jumped over it! "Anything but this," whispered Beard to himself. He then clutched the horse for dear life and closed his eyes.
