Chapter 20 Louisa’s POV The black wolf took me on his back and bolted. He dashed among rocks and branches without any effort. His black mane was like a waving flag in the air. I didn’t know how long we had run before he stopped in a meadow land deep down inside a valley. Beautiful flowers in all colors were scattered among waves of verdant grass. A crystal clear creek was slowly running down from the snow—covered mountain in distance. He crossed his legs and lay down on the grass, so I could climb down his back. I couldn’t walk further because my legs were shaking. I was very excited because of the ride. I fell to the ground and leaned against his belly. I looked up, there wasn’t a single trace of cloud in the endless stretch of cerulean sky.
