The man's tone speaks volumes "No Experience?? In riding horses?? At All??"

I would laugh, but the awkwardness looms like a skunk had wandered in among us and sat down.

In that unease, I reflect. I am on an alien planet. These people are humans. Those animals are horses.

I thought occurs to me, so I suggest that they both ride and I will run. We can try it for ten minutes.

It remains tense, but they get themselves settled and ride off.

I let them get a bit away. My sprinting speed during the battle was really fast.

I try three steps and a leap (as a 'comic book nerd' joke more than anything). Landing like a long jumper (but staying vertical) I am immediately caught up to them.

They ride the horses through a winding forest. It is narrow trail. I am near to smacking my forehead. A horse trail. Right! They use horses. They stay along a familiar route the horses know and keeps down greenery.

When the path forward is clear to see, I try out bursts of speed. The world slows to a stop around me when I am moving very fast.

I try out different bounding leaps for a while.

After a while, I let them back in the lead. I do not know where we are headed.

I am not sure what to make of their expressions.

Probably the same kind of expression I would have made.

I guess this is what being a "Sun's Child" means.
