The shade was on his way back from discovering the rotunda when he stopped by the caves. Last time he had been here was when he had fled with the rest of the Basin and in his short time spent in the dark depths of the cave, chuntering to himself, he had found his sons again. They had been alive and well, both bonded to creatures and both growing into nice strong unicorns. A credit to their race, naturally. They were his sons after all, though the Nightshade had always had a slight worry that they might turn out a little too much like himself. Madness was not an easy disease to live with and if the Doctor wished for anything, then it would be that all of his progeny turned out like Kou. She was clever and manipulative with her words, d'Artagnan had always silently admired his snowy nurse.

He wonders into the cave systems with nothing but the low panting noise of Aramis following behind, his long blue tongue flopped lazily to one side of his black lips. They continued on through passages, not really looking at much and simply reliving memories until they came across something rather rare, but familiar. In the room of legends stood the God of Time, the flashy immortal that had given his family the Aurora Basin when they had been banished to the mountains. A God d'Artagnan had cared to know little of since his run in with the Moon, the shade was all together rather tired of them by now. Yet, a madman maybe, but he wasn't thick in the light of a being who had far greater power than his own. He nodded deeply in his own version of respect before gruff vocals escaped his lips "my patron God."

The shade then inspected the room after hearing a sharp growl rumble from the lips of Aramis. There was a pigeon stallion, an ugly dark being marred by feathered appendages that made the blood boil in his body. A curse upon the earth. The rest were faces he remembered or knew nothing of. Delinne he knew of, though didn't really care much for her, Hotaru he remembered from the one meeting upon the mountain. She had been an interesting child. Lastly, Farenjer who he had brought back to the Aurora Basin to become apart of their herd. The others he didn't recognize, but his eyes zoned in on the bay brother with the satchels. So others were cursed with them too! The Doctor smacked his lips together and shifted over to the stud, ignoring the rest with a dismissive flick of his tail.

A smile curled on his lips as Aramis sat down beside him, "oh look, a brother with a bag like me!" His gruff voice chortled as he slid to a halt beside the draft.
