After sharing their grim survivor stories, the boy and the horse decide on the spot to make their getaway together, to a utopian country in the north known as Narnia. The horse, who talks, belongs to that very same nobleman and knows firsthand what an abusive master he is. The boy has just learned that the fisherman whom he calls Father, who periodically beats him, intends to sell him into slavery to a nobleman chum. There comes a heart-touching moment early in The Horse and His Boy when the two titular characters first meet and tell each other why they are desperate to escape.
