The older colt lead the way, soon walking down the grand staircase and around the corner down another hall. It didn't take long to reach the large doors that led to the garden, opening the door for the young lord as he gestured a hoof toward the nicely decorated table. His ear twitched when a knock came at the front door, his head turning toward the sound with a grin. He gazed to his pocket watch and chuckled. "right on time.." he murmured under his breath.

Another few pages of paper flipped, soon stopping on one. "Reports state that the mangled remains of one Nightmare Chaser... or ... Chase, if you would prefer ... were found at the bottom of Ghastly Gorge. Analyses states that there was a struggle, leading him to crash into the gorge, where he was knocked about until finally a stray rock pinned his body to the bottom of the gorge and crushed his abdomen - death upon impact with the rock was immediate. The signs of struggle included bruising on the chest and flank area, along with several bite marks along the neck and sides." the stallion explained. "After the body analysis, the officials searched some record and found that you were in the last will in testament stating that his final wish was to 'be buried under the tree you both met under' ... seeing as we have no other records on him, we decided to come to you. We have the body here with us - all costs for the burial were paid for in advance, we only need you to instruct us to the site."
