Subject: Entrance...

A clatter of shodden hooves rings through the place as two magnificient steeds approach. A well-dressed young woman sits side-saddle upon a towering snow-white Andalusian, obviously of noble birth. Behind her rides yet a younger girl, dressed and cloaked in the fashion of a servant though she rides a dun Lusitano.

Further observations are made of the young woman upon the Andalusian. She wears a midnight blue velvet dress, decorated with silver fastenings. The sleeves are long, extending from the very ends to make bell-sleeves. Upon the neckline of the dress is a simple silver border around the girl's neck is a small silver choker with a single pearl dangling from it. She has three rings on her fingers, two on one hand and one on the other. Her rich brunette hair is down, but a simple silver circlet adorns the top of her head. Attached to the circlet is a netting of fine woven silver which hangs down in front of her face. Her face is that of nobility, quaint nose, high cheekbones, small ears, and deep, dark, rosy red lips. She wears no makeup, no rouge to help the rosiness of her cheeks. She has dark, peircing green eyes which shimmer and sparkle with an all-knowing light.

The Andalusian is also decked simply, but in it's simplicity it is finely crafted and made. The saddle pad is also midnight blue with silver tassels hanging from all corners and silver braiding intertwines itself to make small silver stars. The bridle of this fine steed is a rich, dark havanna color with silver fastenings. Upon the browband is a single silver tassel and attached to this tassel is a small pearl. The reins are the same color as the bridle, though it is intertwined in silver. In the noble palfrey's mane, silver streaks and ribbons stand out against the pure whiteness of him. Similar decorations are in the horse's tail too.

Now, we come to the servant girl and her dun Lusitano. She too is decked simply, but finely made for a servant. She wears a short tunic and breeches, both of which are white. About her neck is a small silver chain necklace with a pearl attached to it, like her mistress'. Upon her right wrist is a small silver bracelet. Her blonde hair is pulled up into an elegant bun, fastened their by a silver clip. A few choice, curly strands hang about her neck and a few small curls frame her pretty face. She too has a small nose, but her cheekbones are not as high and as pretty as her mistress'. Her ears are slightly larger too, but her eyes are just as sharp and clear as her masters. They are a light green/blue framed by long eyelashes which make them beyond beautiful to look upon. Her lips are less rosy than her master's.

The Lusitano is decked much like the Andalusian. He has silver fastenings upon his bridle, and a small tassle placed upon the browband, but no pearl is attached. The reins are also silver intwined. The saddlepad does not have the silver tassels, but it is midnight blue and is embroidered in silver stars. This faithful steed does not have silver streaks in its tail and mane. Attached to the back of the saddle, hanging at the sides of the dusky brown steed, slap two small chests, small enough to be carried comfortably. They are simple oak, but their locks are silver.

They converse with each other quietly in French, glancing up at the towering castle. As they near to the gates, they break off their conversation and the servant girl falls back behind the lady.

The gate-master catches one of the silver intwined reins and begins to speak to the lady. Suddenly she jerks the rein from his hand and speaks to him in clear, non-accented English. "Do not lay a finger upon me or my horse. I swear to you that I shall stand here and answer all questions you ask of me, but do not touch me or my steed or my servant," she speaks harshly. He backs away a step and begins to question her. When he seems satisfied he raises the gate and the lady and her servant enter Camelot.
