Kaisen's blood was boiling, but he kept it together, clenching the reins of his horse with a grip so tight, it might as well have been iron.
With a scowl on his face, he yanked the reins harder, channeling all his frustration and anger into that simple gesture.
It was like something straight out of a movie or anime, you know?

His horse let out a startled neigh, its hooves kicking up dust as it reared up on its hind legs like it had a mind of its own.
"Whoa...whoa...easy now..."
