like the ocean kissed the sky—
“We’re not very far now,” the ocean mare assures the dappled stallion, casting him a smile over her shoulder. Steadily the equine pair ambles upwards, hiking along the mountain sides until oak trees give way to aspen and pine, and the cold air is crisp and fresh. Tiamat guides her newfound friend along paths that have long-since been memorized, cutting her cloven hooves into the icy snow to keep her footing. Frequently she glances in Cassius’ direction, making sure that he does not fall behind. She knows the highland air is thinner than most of Helovia’s common lands, and is careful to not strain him too much.

When at last the rusting remnants of the great Sentinels appear ahead, signaling the Basin’s entrance, Tiamat pricks her head eagerly. Gesturing to the massive, equine-like machines, she turns her eye towards Cassius. “Those are the Sentinels,” her pace slows for a short moment as she tilts her head back, gazing up at the great metal structures, “They used to protect our borders—anyone not from the Basin, or accompanied by a Basiner, would be stopped. You can see how grand they once were. Unfortunately there is no one left with the magic to care for them, so they have been left to deteriorate.”

There is an inflection of sadness in her voice, nostalgia even, though it’s hardly a breath before her demeanor brightens again. “Don’t worry though,” Tiamat continues reassuringly, “we have other means of protecting our borders now. The Sentinels mostly mark the entrance, and honor a part of our history. They are impressive to look at, don’t you think?” There is a twinkle in the mare’s eye, hoping that he is able to see what she sees in these great monuments.

Nimue encourages her forward then, the young Leviathan eager to be in the comfort of home. With a chuckle to herself, Tiamat directs Cassius a little further, where the Basin opens up before them. “Here we are,” she smiles, white eyes taking all of it in affectionately. The snowy valley is painted with the pastels of early evening, glowing rays of the sun glittering playfully over the gleaming snow, and as she looks up to her mother sky, Tiamat notices the northern lights dancing. “Look!” She gestures to the colorful beams, “The aurora borealis has come out to greet you.” The Mender laughs, looking to the stallion, keen to see his reaction.
