A crumbling hole gapes in the side of the stone, surrounded by rotted wood timbers. A few rusted pieces of block and tackle lay half-buried in scraggly grass. A strange sort of humming noise emanates from within.
Abandoned Mine, Mountain

king's horses
I am the horse of a king.  I stay at his wait.  The king saddles me and rides me around the village.
If you like Hay, yeah. But that's pretty much it. Where is the Hay? Not here in the abandoned mine it is back in the stables. Ah I see. My legs are not as big as yours so it is not such an easy journey for me!  I do have amazing legs don't I? The King picked the best horses. They are rather impressive What are you doing here? I don't know, I was let out to roam and ended up here. Fair enough. I like dark places and nibbles.  Can you help me find my way home? Maybe, where is home? the stables you mentioned? Yes, back at the King's castle? Hmm. I probably can. I know the Kitchen pantry at the King's castle.
