*A stableboy rushes up and takes Smoke's reins as he dismounts.* Uh, thanks, *the young man mutters as the scrawny lad leads his mount away toward the stables. He tells the stallion,* Be good! Don't annoy the mares too much! *Then walks toward the front doors grinning to himself. A guard there questions,* Who goes there? *He looks up and says,* Neil Young. *The guards step aside, hauling the huge, heavy doors open. He nods to them and steps quickly into the cavernous Great Hall. He looks nervously around and then glances out one of the tall, narrow windows. Dark clouds are rolling in from the north, covering the evening sky. It looks like rain.*
