	You dive to avoid your enemy's lance, timing your 
Š	move to perfection. As you roll over and spring back 
Š	to your feet, so you lash out with your Kai weapon 
Š	and its tip cuts clean through the belly-strap of his 
Š	saddle. Moments later, he tumbles from his horse and 
Š	crashes heavily among the trees that border the 
Š	trail. 
	
	His followers curse you bitterly when their leader 
Š	fails to stand. They fear he is either unconscious or 
Š	has broken his neck in the fall. Using your Kai 
Š	skills, you command your horse to come to you and he 
Š	obeys at once. Before the Bakhasians can enact their 
Š	revenge, you are able to mount up and ride back 
Š	towards Karvas. In the distance you can see that the 
Š	tree is now burning less fiercely. On approaching the 
Š	prince, you call for him to follow as you race along 
Š	trail towards the flaming pine. Bravely your horse 
Š	makes a tremendous leap across the tree to land 
Š	surefootedly on the trail beyond. As you bring him to 
Š	a halt, you pat his neck in praise for his courageous 
Š	action. Moments later, you see Karvas come leaping 
Š	over the trunk and you cheer his masterful display of 
Š	horsemanship. The Bakhasians choose not to follow 
Š	you. They break off their pursuit and allow you to 
Š	make good your escape into the foothills of the 
Š	Dammerdon Mountains.
