The thought of his words to Aman in his mind, Beren raced towards the stables, as fast as his feet could carry him. He heard the neighing of the animals inside, their sounds an earsplitting, horrendous call of horror. The shrill of a horse in fear is worse than any a man could ever muster.

He slid on the slick grass as his body stopped itself, arriving at the door. His eyes darted back and forth, gathering the situation quickly. Derufin stood at the edge of one stall, his grip on one horse will calmy speaking to another. His touch seemed to have calmed the now silent equine, but his voice was doing nothing to combat the fear of the other.

Beren quickly ran up, his feet pounding the stable ground, until he was at the next stall. He reached his hand out onto the horse, just as it reared it's head to kick. He looked into it's eyes fiercly as it's leaned back. He bent all thought towards the creature, willing it to calm, his gentle touch seemingly radiated peacefulness into the animal, it's tense muscles slowly relaxing under his hand.

"What on earth has done this to them?" He called out to Derufin who, having calmed his original target, had moved on to a stall farther down the row.

Silent for the moment, he struggled with the new animal, willing it to calm as the first one had. He then looked over at Beren, ready to answer.
