"Spring.
Winter has finally been ushered out. The snow has melted into little streamlets flowing down from the mountains into the bay, and the first flowers have started to turn their petals to the sun.
In the mountain village of Rockville, near Jorvik Bay, there has been a major change. The stables have gotten a new owner - a woman named Jordan Jet. Rumor has it that she has a background in PR and marketing at a multinational company, and has big plans.
There's been a lot of whispering going on in the homes of Rockville, and also in the nearby villages of Beauvista and Bayridge. The stable owners of those two towns seem nervous that the rumored expansion in Rockville might put them out of business.
Sone think that the change will be fantastic, but some think it's the end of the Bay as they know it.
You've been a regular at the Rockville Stables since you were a kid, and it is with a lot of buterflies in your stomach that you head down to the Stables to meet the owner. You hope she'll even tell you what she's planning!
