LEANDER

your heart is the beacon, your heart is the storm

Heartbroken. What other word could describe the feeling of losing the home you had loved and protected with your life? So many days he had flown the skies, keeping the borders safe, bringing home newcomers from the Threshold when no one else would. And what did fate hand him for all his loyalty? First the title of Sultan, and then a bitch mare who was too foolish to realize her own faults. It was not even as though he'd asked for the responsibility, nor elected by the herd members themselves. Kri had asked him to help lead the Throat alongside her, and he had been ignorant enough to agree. He should have gotten to know her more, even before giving his allegiance to the Throat itself. Shadowed ears twisted backwards as he sauntered through the wood, gold eyes dull mirrors to the blur of passing trees. Anger, pain, regret, so many emotions fought for control of his writhing heart. Tears longed to slip from his eyes, but the stallion was too steady for that. And he did not go through the forest for no reason. Maybe they would think him of no influence now, but he had information that could be shared and knowledge to be gained.

He was free now.

"I come seeking the Grey." The LionHeart called out deeply, voice echoing through the trees. Ember darted in and out of the foliage, likely searching for her next meal. She had become capable of catching her own meals, though Leander still kept his own eyes peeled for abandoned carcasses. If not for the responsibilty of caring for her, he might have just found some quiet spot in the wilderness and lie down. For what else did he have? A love who cared more for a group of revenge seeking supremacists than for him, and a few good friends. Speaking to the Grey would at least give him another thread to hang on to, a new discovery to occupy his mind. And he would gain knowledge that Kri likely didn't have herself, keeping hermitted within the borders of the Throat. That realization was enough to keep a taught grin on his lips.
