Timal lives in the house at the top the hill. He spends long days alone, tending to his family's animal menagerie. He's thrilled when his father finally allows him to ride their prized stallion down to the village. He's never been allowed to attend the colourful Full Moon Market before. Perhaps he'll meet some villagers at last, even make a friend. He couldn't have been more wrong ...
