déodat,

The light of noon time flooded into the cave. Déodat blinked the sleep from his eyes and yawned. There was work to be done and no time to doddle about. As he started to move out of his cave, he found his muscles were still quite sore. This shouldn’t have come as a surprise after how hard he had exerted himself not that long ago. How long he had been asleep though he didn’t know. Hopefully he hadn’t wasted too much time resting. Illynx’s orders were the first thing that came to his mind. With one last retch, he headed out of the cave that he had deemed as his own since his return.

Evil lurked outside their doorstep, and it very well could make it’s way closer, and it was time to rally the troops. The Basin needed strong mares and stallions that were ready to defend their homeland. Should any prove to be even slightly less, Déodat personally would’ve tossed them out to the darkness, luckily for the other it wasn’t up to him. He had confidence in his fellow soldiers, even if they most likely couldn’t fend of what evil lies within the darkness. All that could be done is that they remain vigilant, and ensure the Basin would be prepared if whatever evil was brewing decided to come north. Memories of that shadow brewed in his mind, and how it had filled him with such fear and the sheer need to flee. The Blood Prince wasn’t a coward in the slightest. Dozens of times he had charged into the fray of battle with the courage of a lion. All it took for that darkness to cause him to flee was brew at his feet. Whatever that force was, he believed it to be immensely powerful. Something so dark could only bring death.

Déodat moved with an air of determination about him. Written upon his face was a hardened expression, and of course his usual frown was etched across his mouth. The expression may give off an unfriendly air, but he cared little. There was a job to be done and one couldn’t accomplish anything in the art of war with smiles and giggles. When he finally reached the main area of activity within the Basin, he snorted and glanced about. What was one supposed to do when gathering an army? Typically Déodat was the one being called not calling on others.

“Soldiers of the Basin,” The Blood Prince shouted out into the cold air. “I call you all to a gathering by orders of Lady Illynx. There are dire matters to be discussed and orders she has issued.” Now he supposed he was simply supposed to stand there, so he did, glancing about every now and then o see if anyone would answer his call.


[Déodat is basically calling the soldiers together so he can tell them of the darkness spreading throughout Helovia, and will be telling them of tightening patrols.]

Cold water dropped from dark lips as Descaro took a long drink from the icy pool, the warm light of midday highlighting his deep mahogany coat that was draped in long, black locks. His forelock fallen over one side of his face revealing only a single brooding eye. It seemed peaceful so far, the morning had begun with his usual inner patrol of the Basin, later he would venture out onto the Steppe to check their borders were not close to being breached. Of course, he would not wander too far, it was the reason he'd gone missing after all. The Frostbreath Steppe was not a land to be trifled with, especially when one loses his bearings. Shaking his thick neck, hair flying everywhere and landing wherever it wanted, his appearance still remaining a picture of seductive handsome no matter where they fell, a strand catching onto his crystal horn. He thought about going to find Deimos, he hadn't alerted his Commander that he had indeed returned, though he really shouldn't bother the Reaper. He would apologize when he got the chance, it was expected of him to return to duty and so he had, neatly and efficiently. Descaro was about to turn and finish his duty for the day when a familiar voice caught on the air.

Déodat.

Descaro didn't know this soldier very well, enough to know his name and the value of his service. A distant relative of d'Artagnan, the mad healer he'd followed from Isilme, and he seemed to want the presence of the warriors. Intrigued, Descaro set off in his general direction at a brisk trot, looking around as he moved out, trying to see if he recognized any other soldiers moving towards the urgent call. Perhaps these sleepy soldiers needed something big to happen, dark and testing times could make or break warriors, the Corporal was interested to see who would answer Déodat's call.

Noting he was the first to arrive to the loyal warrior's beckon, the stud quickly nodded his head and went straight to the point. "Déodat! Soldier, report! What are these dire matters our Lady speaks of?" He asked, sliding to a halt in front of the blood stallion. Waiting intently for the ruby horned to deliver the news and issue their leaders orders.
