Aman patted Ivory's head, and the horse neighed happily. He kept rubbing his head on Aman's hand lovingly.
Aman stroked his silver fur. "Yes, Ivory. You little loving guy. I understand your feelings without words. We are going, and this time I won't leave you here! I already promised you."
Standing beside them were Mei Wei, Priyam, Valik, Prince Aadi, and Prince Felix.
Priyam whined in a complaint, "Your Highness! It's our last request! At least take one of us with you!"
Aman smiled at him helplessly and shook his head. "I am saying this again. I insist on my previous statement. I can't take you with me! The path is not safe for you!"
"Then it's not safe for you either, Aman," Aadi interjected.
"Brother," Aman pouted, "at least you should try to understand me! I can't just take any of you to such a dangerous place! I won't ever be able to forgive myself if... if something happened to you."
