Vermillion had never been to the Basin before. It felt cold and unknown in his mind, when he pictured the area on his mental-map of Helovia. But who was he to judge?

Vermillion's mind had grown increasingly conflicted the longer he stayed in Helovia. His rational, developing-adult cognitive abilities told him that Solomon was gone, just as surely as their parents were. If he hadn't turned up yet, then he hadn't made it from Isilme, or at least not to Helovia. Yet, he optimistically continued his quest to find him, taking every opportunity to ask if he had been seen. Recently, he had had an epiphany, when speaking with Svetlana. If he was looking for Solomon, surely there must be others who were also seeking lost loved ones? Vermillion selfishly hadn't been taking the time to remember their names - what if someone had in fact seen his twin, but simply forgot? Filed it away as unimportant? He vowed in that moment to never forget a single face he encountered. Torasin and Kiba, Ktulu and Eytan, Tor, Zamoro, D'art and Aviya, Svetlana, Pluto. He ran their names and faces through his mind, endless. Committing each detail to memory.

At a meagre 14.3 the grey-palomino was anything but intimidating. He was extremely slender - more feminine that masculine in many ways, falling somewhere into the androgynous category, though not so much as Solomon did. Although he didn't know it, his classical unicorn physique is what would keep him safe as he entered the Basin. Although he was a hybrid, there were no reasons to think that equine blood flowed through his veins. His horn was a pristine white with a delicate spiral, and he possessed a leonine tail, rather than a typical equine tail. Had he known better, he could have ruled the Basin out immediately as a location to find Solomon, for his twin, had been born without a horn, only possessing a pathetic stump in its place. But he didn't know better, so he merely continued on.
