The stables smell terrible, and are riddled with brown feces on the ground. The horses are tame and magnificent brown. The open plains are yellow and green with grass.

I am a young child from the community within the kingdom. I am a peasant and have no father. I live with the others.
Ah! Talking mice!! Oh dear, that is not the reaction I was hoping for. Perhaps we can start over? I'm kidding, you get used to talking animals in these magical stables. I know. It's pretty crazy that I can talk and I carry the King's sword. Not really crazy to me. These stables have a lot of surprising things. Yo know, I wasn't always a mouse. I ran afoul of a witch and she turned me into one. What were you before? A human? Yes, I was a brave knight. I fought in many battles for the King. But now, I spend my time in this smelly stable. Why did the witch transform you? I discovered she was conspiring against the king and she turned me into a mouse. It was really quite traumatic for me. Have you tried to tell the king? He will not listen to a mouse. He just tells the cats to chase me whenever I go into the castle.
