Since my third life began, every day has been a gift. I've found joy in this new existence, far from the darkness I once knew. If only this happiness could last forever.
Sir Edward's gentle voice interrupted my reverie. "My lady, now that you have Nyx and today's your first lesson, we'll take it slow. Forming a bond with your horse is crucial. Treat him as your partner, and you'll find harmony."
I smiled, already sensing a deep connection with Nyx.
"Given your affinity with Nyx, let's proceed to the next steps. Listen closely, my lady."
Sir Edward's instructions were clear and concise:
1. "Mount from the horse's left side using a block, ensuring balance and control."
2. "Sit comfortably in the saddle, back straight, weight evenly distributed on your seat bones."
3. "Position your feet in the stirrups, heels up and under your hips, maintaining stability."
