      In a Forest Clearing

      flock of starlings wheeled through the autumn air, shrieking and chattering as they swooped and flew. Morgana Le Fay was striding through the trees beneath them. Branches cracked under her feet and the russet leaves that still clung to the branches fell as she passed.

      ‘Those girls!’ she spat, her face stormy with anger. ‘They have thwarted me five times now. I will stand for it no longer! I still have strong magic at my command!’ Morgana threw one hand out towards the starlings, her fingers open wide, and then with a vicious glare she clenched her fingers once more. The silence was instant. The glossy birds fell from the skies and landed in the branches. They looked around in bewilderment, blinking their eyes and stretching their wings.

      ‘I shall not be defeated again,’ Morgana said, her voice ice-cold. ‘Avalon shall be mine. If they dare try and free another Spell Sister, those meddling girls shall feel my fury.’ She paused, looking around her. ‘But what exactly shall I do. . . ’

      As she spoke, a herd of shaggy wild ponies came trotting into the clearing. They halted as they saw Morgana and backed away, their small ears flickering warily.

      Morgana’s eyes glittered as she stared at them. ‘Of course,’ she murmured. ‘That will stop them!’ She started to laugh, and raised her hands once more, sweeping them through the air and whispering a secret spell. The leader of the herd of ponies reared up in fear and galloped into the trees. The rest followed, their ears pinned back.

      The sound of Morgana’s laughter echoed after them.

      n the stables of Halston Castle, the grey pony Gwen was holding fidgeted and tossed his head.

      ‘Why don’t you ride Merrylegs today?’ Gwen asked her cousin Flora, with an encouraging smile.

      Flora gave the pony an uneasy look. ‘He’s too lively for me.’

      ‘He isn’t!’ Gwen turned to the castle stableman, Jacob, who was holding a quiet bay pony nearby. ‘Flora will be fine on Merrylegs, won’t she, Jacob?’

      ‘I don’t know. He is a bit of a handful, Miss,’ said Jacob, scratching his head. He was a tall man with a thick thatch of dark hair and bright blue eyes. ‘Miss Flora might be better riding Willow like she usually does.’

      Flora looked relieved. ‘See?’ She held her green skirt up daintily and stepped onto the mounting block.

      Gwen gave her cousin a frustrated look. ‘But you won’t ever become a better rider if you stay on Willow all the time. She’s so quiet and slow.’

      ‘And that’s just why I like her,’ said Flora, with a smile, as Jacob brought the bay pony over.

      Gwen sighed and vaulted on to Merrylegs, in a much less lady-like fashion. ‘Well. I like riding you, boy!’ she told him, patting his warm grey neck as he tried to swing round in a circle. Gwen was a brilliant rider, and loved cantering and galloping almost as much as
