Something had made me wander to just this place. Just this meaningless spot within the Basin. For these last past weeks I had just wandered around, thinking of several things that burned inside of my beating heart. Azzaron and our broken bond, my daughter, Mauja, my quest... They were all inside of my head, constantly giving me a headache.
How would I be able to handle all of this? Would I ever get back together with the palomino pegasus, or make the herd accept my hybrid-daughter? Would I ever understand the charmingly mysterious stallion who I called my King? Mauja had changed since the battle - that I knew - but I didn't exactly know how he had changed. He had just... Changed.
And the quest... Oh, it's been going on for too long. Did I really understand the pure nature of a jaguar by now? The quest had been chasing me since I first received it by the fatherly Earthen God.

I had to fix this mess that I had caused. I had to fix the bond between me and Azzaron because I just couldn't stand the fact that we were... That we were... That we weren't partners anymore. He was the father of my daughter after all, right? He had brought her into my world, he had given me something to believe in.
But my King... He couldn't have lied to me? No. I had to sit down with him and solve this mystery, and possibly also discuss the fact that my daughter had to be accepted into the Aurora Basin-herd.

Suddenly I stop, breathing the cold air. There was something different about the air, and how it smelled. I knew the smell of my herd now, every scent from every unicorn. And this was not a fragrance that was worn by a unicorn.
Out of pure curiosity I walk towards the strange smell and recognize it more and more as I come closer to the source. With about 100 hoof steps to go, I look up and see someone who I'd never thought I'd see within these borders again.
Didn't he learn a lesson last time he was here?!
And he was with someone I only recognized as one of us - possibly one of the warriors that had fought with us in the battle of the Edge. Oh no.

I knew that this was not good at all.

One part of me wanted to turn around and call for Mauja, but at the same time I wanted to save Azzaron from this stallion. I knew that I was strange, and nowadays it felt like I didn't belong within this herd. If it hadn't been for Mauja, I would leave without a doubt painful as the truth was.
My heart decided for me, and I walked up to the stallions. Why had this unicorn captured Azzaron? I stood in front of them both, eyeing them as I try to stay brave.
"Azzaron. Why are you here once again? Didn't you learn your lesson last time?" My voice was sad, but I still had that nagging-mother-tone in my words. I only cared for his safety.
The palomino looked so thin. He still had some muscles, of course, but he looked thinner than last time. Did he eat like he should?
I turn my blue gaze to the black unicorn, keeping a worried mask on my dark face.
"May I ask you why you have brought this pegasus here?" Since I didn't know his name or title, I decided not to mention either. Something in the back of my head whispered 'Deimos', but I wanted to be sure before I addressed him with a name.

The pegasus had probably wandered around right outside of the Basin-borders... But what did I know. This unicorn could've traveled all across Helovia for Azzaron, but for what reasons more than the fact that he visited during Tallsun?

"Blah blah blah."
