Amidst thick fog and bitterly cold weather, Rose noticed a form of life in front of her.
"Oh my God... it's a huge market!" she whispered in amazement.
“What a beautiful appearance!”
Rose carefully planned her steps through the crowded alleys, searching for some kind of inn.
"Brother, I found you!"
I entered the inn, but it seemed rather empty.
The innkeeper's voice called to them:
"What do you want, young lady?"
Rose replied politely:
"Excuse me, I'm sorry... Is it possible for me to get a room at a reasonable price?"
The woman replied:
"A silver coin... can you pay?"
"Yes, of course".
Rose was asked a moment later:
"Is there a stable here?"
The woman pointed:
"We have one behind the inn. Give the horse to the stable boy, he will look after it."
Rose took her belongings, then left him in the stable, and went up to her room.
She collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and wondered to herself:
"Why is everything so different since I came in here? I don't know... I'll stay here tonight only, I'll leave in the morning, I don't want to
mix with them."
Three hours later, Rose woke up to the sound of the mountain's heartbeat.
She grabbed a cat and ran quickly down the stairs towards the stable.
"What's wrong?!" she shouted. "The horse is missing! Where is it?"
She rushed towards the innkeeper, anger evident on her face:
"Is it a horse, old woman?"
The woman replied nonchalantly:
"He must be in the stable."
Rose screamed:
"I'll tell you one last time... is he a horse?"
The woman sighed softly:
"Don't lose your temper... the stable boy must have taken him for a ride."
Rose looked at him in surprise:
"A tour? Ain?"
The woman replied:
"At the horse stable, where the annual celebrations take place."
Rose asked confused:
"Is that so?"
The woman pointed to her:
"Cross the second street, then turn left."
Rose looked at him with displeasure:
"I pray that I will find him there, or you will not find your feet walking on it by morning!"
