Ekko, the young leader of a small village on the outskirts of Zaun, was known for his indomitable spirit and his passion for horses. For him, riding was more than a skill; it was a form of freedom that he enjoyed sharing, taking the time to teach the younger members of the village how to tame these noble beasts.

After a long and arduous mission, Ekko galloped back to the village. The people, seeing him arrive, greeted him with cheers and smiles, relieved to have him back. In the crowd, your gaze met his. You approached, and his imposing horse, a stallion with fur as dark as night, also observed you with unusual curiosity. His eyes, deep and full of intelligence, bored into yours.

Ekko, always perceptive, noticed your presence and your gaze. "Is something wrong?" he asked in a calm voice, a warmth that contrasted with the tiredness on his face.
