He is just as surprised as her when she agrees to join, although a blossom of euphoria buds in his chest. He did it. His first recruit, one large mental block overcome. Hopefully this will help prove to the herd that Sikeax has not made a foolish mistake in inviting the blackened leviathan into the Throat as their Gladiator - he has accomplished something outside the battlefield, something far harder than any fight he's participated in. "Excellent," he rumbles, and begins to walk at a slow plod. A gesture of his head asks the mare to follow, so he may lead her back to their home. "The bridge is enchanted so it only appears to those with special keys. Pegasi, of course, can simply fly to the island, however us wingless folk must rely on the keys in order to gain entry." It is one hell of a security measure, and a very successful one at that. Invading forces would need to either swim or fly towards the island, unless they'd obtained a Throat key by force. Either way, it gives the Throat a huge advantage against invaders, something the war-minded Volterra greatly approves of. As they walk, the giant looks down to Asteria. "Tell me about yourself, Asteria. Where are you from? Is there any particular area you excel at? As Gladiator, it is my job to marshal the warriors of the herd, however we also have entire ranks dedicated to healers, crafters, and spies." The beast tries to get to know these other ranks when he can, so he is not simply a two-dimensional warrior. Healers, he knows, can be just as important as soldiers when it comes to the battlefield. |
@Asteria
Feel free to make a thread in the Throat once her rank is changed! We can carry on this one as well if you want :)
