Amazing isn't it? Just how easily thoughts of sabotage and foul-play can be so deeply ingrained based on one singular event. Well, perhaps the event that caused Gaucho's distrust of Unicorns was not singular - there were two inciting incidents - the entrapment of Mauja and the invasion of the Throat. Both events weighed heavily upon his mind, and Gaucho was reminded of the tyranny of the Basin Unicorns each time he saw a horned creature, regardless of where they called home.

But the Basin was the worst. Even after all these seasons, Gaucho hadn't received a satisfactory answer to why they had invaded his home and killed his people. He doubted that he would ever get one, but should the chance arise, he would surely take it.

Given these thoughts, it isn't surprising that as the view of the two unicorns below sharpened, Gaucho descended. On wings that burned with fire, Gaucho dropped from the frosty skies towards the frigid sands. Strange markings covered a body that was muscular, feral, and marked endlessly with scars. His antlers pulsed with a glowing light bleeding out of markings placed there by the Sun God himself. In those antlers curled a white snake, trying to steal as much of Gaucho's body heat as she possibly could. Large black hooves landed nearly silently, spraying sand in clumps as his body left the air and began to move on land.

He was taller than both, and given the state of their bodies likely older as well. Gaucho's dark ears flickered backwards, noting the horns upon their heads but not recognizing their scents as being from the Basin (given that it had been some time since he had been in that area).

"Yewwneekorns" He called after them, his voice rich and deep, but clearly not comfortable with the native language of Helovia.
