It was with a twisted smile the golden had accepted the girl’s request. He had nodded, and in spirit of their herd’s relations, not given a second thought to the Pegasus mare. The Falls was an enemy, and lately, the greatest annoyance the Basin had to deal with. The girl would soon learn that. She would learn much. Especially if she brought what she seemed to now promise to their ranks. Turning, the golden had walked from the gathering, with the girl hopefully following. It was a small prize to bring home a new recruit. Though the golden had been most active in other places, he also knew he needed to keep ahead of that pink spy, as most seemed to still call her. Hotaru, still under his finger, was a tricky sort to deal with. And the golden as determined to leave her below him. Of course those thoughts were for other days and other moods. The current state of the gold, in his wandering thoughtfulness was going places far beyond the Basin. For summer was closing, and as always his mind wandered to times long past, and lands far away.

That didn’t stop him though from at least trying to seem interested in this girl. He turns with a ghost of a smile lingering on his lips. “The Basin is the northern most territory. Winter can get brutal, but here in tallsun it is quite nice.” It is all he says for a while. Only if she had questions would the gold turn, ready to answer them. When the path was wide enough for two to walk abreast he did her the courtesy of allowing it. Not a usual nicety of the gold, but perhaps it had to do with his strange mood.

As they walked further north and the air chilled his eyes and mind did seem to clear. Up the rock slopes they went until they came to the ice wall. “The Arch, hidden in this ice, is the only way in. There.” Haldir’s little frame, well used to this track slips from view. Coming to it the gold pauses and looks to her. “Take care, the ice is ever sharp.” Cloven hooves step almost mindlessly, having trodden in and out this way so often. Of all in this home he had perhaps journeyed the most about the lands, as he should, and all the slips and trips in this path were well known.

At last the close walls of ice give way and light floods into their sight. Opening before them is the Basin. A large deep valley walled in my ancient mountains. Looming tall above they promised frozen death, but here, in their embrace they gave life. The gold stops, always enjoying the view of looking over the vale from this high place. “Welcome to the Basin.” He nods to the two towering structures on either side. “We were well protected by our mountains, and these, sentinels, they keep watch on who comes and goes. As long as you come as one of us you have no reason to fear them.” Had the gold ever feared them? Not particularly, but with the new mechanism the Engineer had given him, his nerves did tingle under their gaze. “Beyond is the valley, there is always tundra grass and the never freezing lake. Beyond that is the hot springs, and lining the walls I’m sure you’ll find a suitable cave. The healer’s cave, should you need her, is there.” He points to these places as he mentions them. The non reflecting mirror, in the seerer’s cave he does not mention, for he has never had the curiosity to venture there.

The horned head lifts and a call rings out, announcing a new comer. Then he turns once more to her. “Deimos and Ophelia rule over these lands, and I am the Theif.” It was the first she would hear of his title and he watched how she would take it given their prior meeting. Of course it didn’t put him in very good light considering how little he had noticed her, but should she care to venture on that thought she might also notice how his lie of a warm hearth of a home grew convincing. With pause the gold waits to see if any will join them. If not it was no loss, the golden had done this all before and well experienced in setting up a new recruit.
