Archibald's movements were slow and careful. The giant's hooves were pressed down into the sand by his incredible weight. His muscles grew tighter and tighter as he walked the length of the beach. He loved training in the sand, it made him stronger with each time. The grains held his hooves tightly and made his movements slower. Archibald had never been the quickest horse, obviously, but the training on the beach made him faster on hard ground. Now, however, Archibald was not training--the Chief was simply taking a walk.

It had been a while since Archibald and Loretta had had the time to go and work on their bond as a pair. They had been incredibly swamped with patrolling and working as Generals. Now they were leading the herd. The herd was small and the three leads agreed on using the Threshold as a tool to increase their member base. In their frequenting the Threshold Archibald, Evers and their mother Mandrake had found another one of the familly. Tajheri, the rebellious, hotheaded brother. The brother was a year older than Archibald and Vincent, yet Archibald had vivid memories of beating the male down by command from Mandrake. Their mother did not like disorder or disobedience, and always used Archibald to teach the others lessons when she believed they deserved them. Despite that fact, Archibald and Tajheri remained fairly close--they got along quite well.

Snorting and shaking the memories from his head Loretta looked up at her bonded. Archibald met her eyes and snorted, pushing her with his muzzle. Loretta yipped and danced around at his hooves before loping off. Archibald followed at a trot before the sight of the others hit him. He had been approaching from upwind and did not scent them first. Ophelia and Aaron. Two horses outside of his family that he did not hate or feel indifferent to. Archibald had promised the defend Aaron during the invasion, and Ophelia pushed Archibald to rise up as leader after he stepped in to assist them from the aggressive Ricochet. Tossing his head in the air Archibald rose into a canter and let out a bellowing neigh, announcing the others of his arrival.
