Xiat started reporting for duty early, and watched Endi teach a dozen horseboys how to envision the tendons, muscles and bones of the horse, while massaging and feeling them. He taught them meditation and a few of the standard chants, and combined it all with their hands on the horses, like as not with their eyes closed.

By the third week some of the Black Company had joined them.

Major Eppa growled and fussed, but admitted that it wasn't hurting anything. "The massages are nice—so long as they don't put the horses to sleep just before they go on duty."

"Asleep?"

"All relaxed and happy. I reassigned horses so the boys each have one that's on the inactive roster to fool with." He shook his head. "Look at Cascade. Endi isn't even spelling her any more, she pricks up her ears and does anything he wants."

As often as not, Paer would be there, listening and soaking it all in. "I wish I'd hurry up and bloom. Everyone keeps telling me how strong I'll be in the future. I want it now." Her yearning gaze turned toward Endi. "So he can teach me. He makes it all sound so sensible."

"Yes, he's a good teacher." Xiat watched as Snip stroked his hands up Crystal's leg. Once, the high strung, highly competitive animal would never have stood so still and relaxed. I hope Endi knows how to wake them up for competition. Xiat looked back at Snip. The Halfer's hands had the faintest imaginable glow. And I wish I knew how much Endi's planning on changing the world.

Then a groom brought out Herc for Paer to ride and Endi closed down his massage lessons and started setting up jumps.
