Sameth had been out riding around Belisaere as the weather was nice and he was enjoying the beach and harbor near the castle.

He hadn't expected the change to Milliways and slows his horse down to a canter as suddenly he's in
a forest.

This is odd as he's never entered Milliways this way and he doesn't know if perhaps that means something's strange with the magic. Just in case, he has a spell readily in mind and his hand loosely on his sword.

Amanda is out on a friends ranch when she decides to go for a ride. As she is enjoying an invigorating gallop she and the horse find themselves in Milliways. Before Amanda can get the horse under control the horse skids to a quick halt, bucks, and then takes off.

It takes everything Amanda has to stay on the horse through all of this and when the horse takes off at an uncontrolled gallop she is hanging off the side of the horse.

The immortal will be embarrassed as soon as she manages to get the horse under control.

When Amanda gallops by, Sameth's horse spooks and he has to work to control it before starting after her calling out, "Do you need help?"

Her cheeks redden as she yells, "No, I've got it." she grips tightly and then waves at the passing man, or she supposes it's her who is passing. The time spent pondering this was time lost. Now that she has her wits about her, Amanda uses her core strength and manages to right herself (on the second try). It's only a few seconds longer for her to rein in the horse.

Once she slows, Sam eases his horse to a walk, "What happened?"

He's dressed for riding in a linen shirt with a loose jacket over it, leather breeches and has a sword at his side.

Amanda is wearing a fashionable yellow blouse and black skinny jean. Her sword is sheathed in her coat.

"New horse." which is mostly true. And her cheeks are finally coming back to normal color. She see's the sword and smiles, "It's been a while since I've seen one of those worn like that." she almost misses those days. Though she is more than happy to have the spa's that come with the modern world.

At her statement, he frowns trying to make sense of her with his Death sense, but its not helping.

She doesn't feel like the truly dead here or the walking Dead either, "Oh, when was that?"

"Oh dear" she takes a while as she tries to recall the last time she saw someone wearing a sword on his/her hip.

"Late 18th early 19th centuries. After that guns became the accessory of choice."

"When are you from?" her eyes shimmer with curiosity.

"Not Earth, but a place called the Old Kingdom. What are you? You're not Dead but how can you have lived that long?"

His hand rests on his sword though in his mind he's thinking of spells as the wind shifts his hair to show the Charter Mark on his forehead.

Amanda waves her hand, "Oh relax, I don't bite." she beams a brilliant smile at him.

"I'm Amanda. And I'm an immortal." she looks at the mark, "What is that?" the immortal asks as she pets the horse.

"What's an immortal?"

She doesn't feel like anything he knows and he's come across enough strange creatures here to be wary.

"It means I don't die." she is only this open because she is in Milliways. "Or at least death doesn't stick."

"What are you?" because he is asking a lot of questions and really answering much.

"Death doesn't stick? You're a necromancer?"

Immortal could easily be another name for one. He's from a world where the Dead walk, it makes him not easily accepting of someone saying death doesn't stick.

Shaking her head, "Not as the term is defined in my world. I don't control the dead, don't speak with them." she will not tell him anything further about her immortality until he shares too.

"Now what is this Old Kingdom and what are you?"

"But you die and then come back to life? That's not right. I'm Sameth, prince and Wallmaker of the Old Kingdom and my world has suffered from the Dead and necromancers. How do I know that you're not something like them?"

Everything she's said makes it sound like she is.

"It's nice to meet you Sameth, prince and Wallmaker of the Old Kingdom." she's been called worse.

"You'll just have to take my word on it." she shrugs. Though she does keep her eyes on him in as subtle way as possible. If he attacks her she will be prepared to defend herself. Adding a bit playfully, "If you do attack, please don't hurt the horse."

"And really I don't know if I actually die or not. I can't say I've studied what happens, though Darius and McCloud did have a rather boring philosophical debate about it once." because getting killed isn't particularly fun.

(OOC: I hope a short thread's okay, he's not in the mood to be convinced that she's fine if he can ride away.)

"I see. Then I'll wish you a good ride," He kicks his horse forward and starts back to the forest to see if he can find a way back to the Old Kingdom.

(OOC: no problem. Amanda isn't one who care about convincing others.)

Amanda nods, "And you." she lets him go before riding towards the stables. It's the first time since she came to Milliways that she thought someone would try to attack her.
