"Forgive me, Luna Reana," the beta said, his tone respectful as he stood in front of Reana's horse, "but I've been instructed to request a meeting with you."
"And that would be?" Reana's voice was cold but laced with a hint of impatience, her eyes narrowing slightly as she awaited the beta's response.

"Hyaah!" Reana's cry echoed through the air as she urged her horse forward.
The beta barely avoided being trampled, leaping out of the way just in time as the horse thundered past, Reana's long hair streaming behind her.
