Chapter 3, Goryon and Gast, Summary

Taran and Gurgi sneak onto the property of Lord Goryon and learn that Taran's horse, Melynlas, has proven difficult to ride for the lord and his employees. Taran goes out to the training field where the lord is attempting to ride Melynlas and marches up, insisting they let the horse go. Taran tells Goryon that the horse is his, and that Goryon's men stole it, and he should be allowed to take it back. Goryon refuses to listen, insisting that his men fought great giants for the horse. Taran proves the horse is his by mounting her and riding her without the difficulties Goryon and his men have suffered. Goryon, pleased to be rid of the demon horse, allows Taran to go.

Taran and Gurgi ride on until they find themselves at the home of another lord...
