Ktulu
the Constrictor

There was really no need for Ktulu to be in the Threshold, none whatsoever, but the mare was there. It was hard not having any sort of purpose anymore. She felt more and more lost as the days went on. More and more useless. It wouldn't take too much time for her to reach the very edge of the Threshold and a few steps later she could leave Helovia behind and close a chapter of her life that was filled with failure and disappointment and hurt. Eytan kept her anchored, however, because she was unsure of how the bond she shared with the grizzly bear would handle leaving a magical land and going somewhere new. She didn't think she'd be able to handle if she lost the only thing that had stayed by her side even when she made decisions that he didn't agree with.

"I think... We're somewhere, at least."

Dark ears tilted forward and out of habit Eytan's pace quickened as he intended to leave his bonded to investigate and find the source of the voice, but his bonded's voice stopped him in his tracks. "Eytan." He turned and looked to the black and bronze mare and she gave a shake of her head. His caramel eyes showed his confusion at the situation because this had never happened before. He always investigated. He always found who it was and deemed if they were worthy of the Grey and he told Ktulu this, which drew a sad expression. "The Grey is no more, Eytan." She murmured as she walked past the bear, her muzzle brushing the top of his head as she went. "Its just you and me now."

For once the dark mare made no effort to be silent as she moved through the forest. Leaves and twigs cracked and crunched under her hooves as she walked. Behind her Eytan trailed, looking confused and dejected and completely worried about the downward spiral his bonded was going through since she'd given up her leadership in the Foothills. He had told her once before in a fit of anger that Lakota would not leave the Foothills for her, but now he was regretting his words and hoping that he was wrong. He was fearful of what she would end up doing and he tried his best to hide his fears.

"Welcome to Helovia, gentlemen." The hybrid said as she revealed herself, again confusing and concerning the bear because she had always lingered in shadows before, watched, and judged before she revealed herself. "You look lost and travel weary so I'll spare you long introductions. I am Ktulu and you're standing in Helovia's Threshold." She shifted her weight and rested a hind hoof on its tip as the bear came to stand next to her.
