Ilios and Isabella had been wondering the edge of the Throat checking the coasts on hoof. With so many foals in the herd he was worried about predators entering the Throat. Silver and gold eyes gazed over the landscape looking any kind of print or flicker of movement. Isabella turned her silver wolf head up towards the horizon her ears pricked nose quivering. 'What do you smell?' She didn't answer him just took off walking. Rolling his eyes the hybrid followed after her slowly. Volterra's call caught their ears and they picked up the pace moving at a smooth lope.

'How did you know?' She huffed a wolf laugh before replying, 'Excited scent.' He chuckled softly, 'Makes sense.' It didn't take them long to reach the gathering. A few others were gathered below the large black stallion. He cast his eyes over them and walked to stand beside Ampere. She was one of the first he had ever spoken to in the Throat, besides Gaucho. His heart clenched at the thought of the Wildfire. He glanced at Ampere and offered her a warm smile. He figured the Fire's death had been very hard on her. He knew they had had children together and could only imagine how she felt without him.

Volterra started to speak and he found himself agreeing with everything he had to say. He smiled at each promoted horse nodding to them warmly. He was happy for them, they were all deserving, to his knowledge anyway. Then his name was dropped from the Sultan's mouth and his ears pricked. Isabella looked up from her spot beside Ilios. He had been promoted to a rank he had never thought of taking before. He bowed his head deeply to the other stallion.

Before he could voice his thanks the male continued welcoming Ampere and the Sultana. He turned and beamed at the lightning marked mare. "Congratulations Ampere." He whispered as she made her way passed him to stand above the herd. He listened to her words as well taking them all to heart. Silver eyes tried to meet her blue gaze as she gave the rules for his rank. He nodded hoping she saw it and understood he wouldn't betray her trust. When she was done speaking the other that held his rank Sunjata spoke up. He listened to his idea of traveling with the leaders then offered his own idea. "Thank you both for the position, I wont fail." He paused to look at everyone else gathered, "If anyone has any , or knowledge of, items that were stolen please come and see me, or Sunjata." He glanced at the stallion, hoping he hadn't stepped over any boundaries he wasn't aware of. Satisfied he fell silent and watched the herd his heart swelling. Isabella wagged her silver tail and leaned against her brother's leg.
