As the dust settled upon the battlefield there was without a doubt one sole victor. Their vigilance and planning had paid off as Kaj and Archibald claimed their places as leaders of the Hidden Falls. It was a little odd for both stallions to be leading them as the roles were commonly appointed between a mare and stallion but who was he to judge. Hell as long as things got done properly that was all that he cared about in the long run. Before joining the Edge this had been his home and it sure felt good to be back here once again. The Edge had been nice for a short while but the forested landscape was not exactly ideal for ones of his size and stature. Branches always seemed to get in the way or appear out of nowhere making daily tasks much more difficult than they should be. While his bonded, Kiara had rather liked the opportunity to make fun of him he felt that she too was glad to be back.

While the victory was a relief for them all to be away from the angered moon goddess the dappled brute still felt a touch of regret over the whole situation. They had attacked his former herd mates and allies to take away their home, albeit for the greater good but it still felt like betrayal on a certain level. Granted before his departure he had carried many questions as to how the Falls was being managed so it didn’t come as a huge shocker that it had been relatively easy to overcome the forces in place. Between Rosti the drunkard and Oxy the stoner he was amazed that nobody had tried to overrun them a lot sooner than this. Neither of them could manage to get through their day without giving in to the delusional desires making them ill suited to be leading the defences. Ktulu was in his opinion a much better candidate for the job. Perhaps he might even be lucky enough to regain his praetor position back in the near future, with some work of course.

As the requests for a gathering spread through the inhabitants the pair made their way down from the higher grounds. Silver eyes fell upon the duo of Kaj and Archibald and he couldn't help but feel a little weirded out considering all the other times he had come to this location it had been Midas and Ghost calling the shots. Taking a position near the front the grey settled in to listen to what their new leaders would have to say. Kiara as usual being the curious creature that she was, made sure that she could take in everyone that showed up by leaping up to lay tediously upon his back.

Listening intently as everyone took their turns introducing themselves and speaking he awaited a chance to volunteer himself to help out with anything that was needed. As Ktulu spoke he made sure to make a note to speak with her upon conclusion of the meeting. “If we may be of help you only just need to ask. I have been to the Basin before; if you want we could relay any messages to their leads.” He commented referring to both himself and Kiara as he gave a respectful nod to both Archibald and Kaj. Those inhabiting the Basin always seemed to respond better to those of their own species rather than others sporting wings or nothing at all. While he did not agree with them in this particular matter he was all for making things easier when it came to relations between the herds.
