The Stallions closed ranks & nuzzled him affectionately. Bruce whined a little, but wagged his tail, atop S2's withers.
Silenus was sweating for the first time in forever. "Is your course clear?" he asked Chuck.
"Yes," answered Chuck, "It just isn't cleared yet."
"I could lend you a hand," offered the satyr.
"Can your cloven hooves withstand this?" asked Chuck, taking a very solid swing.

Runni & Snoddi appeared ahead of the party.
"Chuck!" called Runni, "There's a perfectly passable path over here."
"That's what your son's afraid of," Chuck called back.
"Rhodes isn't afraid of anything, really," grumbled Snoddi.
