Or 9. Or 10. Or 11. Or even 12.
"Thereos," the centaur replied limpidly as he removed another corn from the stalk and placed it evening in his woven basket. Unaware still that this was a recreational space and not simply a crop garden, the centaur gazed upon the youngling in blue with harsh brown eyes. "The path you seek is straight. Stay the course and do not wander from it and you will reach the other side." Or she could always wait until the sky had painted night and the stars come out to dance. Then she could chart her course using their guidance.

Great hooves crossing the path between the rows of corn, Thereos began to slip into the opposite wall of stalks and husks.

"You may follow if you so wish but you must make yourself useful," he then nodded over his shoulder while plucking yet another corn.
