       How fitting for the once great sentinel of the woodlands to meet his end in the seclusion of a forest. A smirk cracked Mandrake's lips as she led her newborn son toward the body of his sire. This time she'd had less to do than she had previously, whatwith her sons taking care of ending the Sentinel for her. She'd basked in the gory details of their fight and laughed at the news that the mighty sentinel had turned into a pony upon dying. The massive black stallion was nothing more than a dappled grey mutt.

"Come, Knox." The mare spoke gruffly, her eyes turning on her son. He would be mighty, less of a disappointment than her last stolen son had been. This one would be like her Archibald. He would be a fighter. He would bring pride and glory to their family rather than shame and embarrassment. She navigated the woods, maintaining a steady speed that the newborn could keep up with.

Ahead of them she could see the beaten form of the dapple grey that had once claimed to be the Sentinel. The Phooka. Mandrake barked a laugh as they drew closer. Upon reaching the stallion she stopped and gazed down at him, her eyes flashing dangerously. Her body began to shift, and though it was painful the mare never uttered a word. Soon it was a jaguar that stood beside the colt and the prone body of what had been his sire.

"Stay, Knox." She cast a sidelong glance at the foal before her attention was turned back to the Sentinel. She ambled forward, her claws extending as she slashed at Roanne's stomach. Skin and muscle parted and entrails were spilled around her paws. There was not enough blood there. The jaguar moved to the Sentinel's throat and again she slashed. Blood spurted from the severed jugular and splashed across her face.

"Come here, Knox." Her voice was raspy as she demanded the foal to come. Blood continued to ooze from the severed artery and pool on the ground. Once the foal was at her side Mandrake pushed him down into the puddle. "Lay there, Knox. Bathe in your father's blood." She dipped her paws into the bloody pool and smeared it across the foal's body. "You will be great." She told the foal. "You will be strong." She put a paw on the foal's neck and pushed his head down toward the pool of blood. "Drink."
