And there is always someone else there, just watching me, saying nothing, doing nothing, someone that I sense is a young man, powerful, in control, but faceless, no identity that I can grasp. Instinctively, without clearly seeing any more of him, I knew it was Ranulph, and I presumed the girl behind me was Rachel. XXX I returned to my own horse to finish my preparations and as before took the horse to the warm up area. When I had finished and was leaving the arena, I steeled myself to turn and look him directly in the face. I stopped and one disappeared behind me; I though it could be a girl, but the person had a swirling black cloak and hood and I could not tell who they might be.
