Ana was walking through the busy market of the neutral states of Greece. Ana was looking for a horse since she was old enough to have one of her own. She walked through the streets, looking for a horse seller eagerly. She was looking for the perfect one.

Ambrose happened to be in that exact market, at that time of the day with three beautiful horses. One horse was purely white, the other two were pure black stallions that were merely but a year and a half old but already fully grown. Ambrose spoke with a few people about the horses but no one seemed to be all to afford such beautiful creatures, let alone have any desire to ride ones of such beauty. Ambrose was not bothered by this in the least. He merely just waited for people to come and speak with them. He had all day to waste.

As Ana walked, she noticed a beautiful midnight looking horse-that would be a good name!She walked up while Ambrose was speaking to someone else, petting one of the stallions. He was tall, young, and well built, the perfect Spartan horse. "Hey there boy," she smiled and rubbed it's nose gently, "you're a good boy," she smiled and ran her hands over the legs, the spine, sides, etc. to get a good feel of the horse.

Ambrose turned his head to see a woman stroking the stallion that was behind him. He finished up the conversation he was having with another man before turning to face her. He smiled politely. " May i help you miss? " He asked with another smile as he rested his hand on the nose of the horse, waiting for her reply. She did not look like someone who could afford such a creature, but he had been wrong twice before and perhaps the third time was the charm.

"How much is he?" she asked him, her hand restong hon his neck as she looked over to the seller, "He seems to be in good health, and strong, and I'm in the market for a horse," she told him simply. Then she looked back at the horse and smiled, "He also seems like a horse that could be loyal and a friend," she said to Ambrose stroking the horses neck.

Ambrose looked at the girl as she asked the price. " Thirty gold pieces. " He said calmly. This was a rather hefty price for such an animal. Most horses were in the range of 5-12 gold pieces but this creature was more than double. Ambrose was not a man that tried to cheat other people, however, he knew that his horses were far superior to any other horse that might compete with his own.

"Thirty? That my lord is steep. Tell me, what is so special about him to make him so expensive? You seem to have reson as to why he is priced so. Tell me," she smiled to him.
