He had heard the Sun God’s last words as he removed himself from the Throat. Immediately, anger swelled in his breast, unable to keep calm and quiet about the whole ordeal. Just when the Korofi stallion had just thought he’d found a home, a bigger threat loomed over. This wasn’t a unicorn versus Pegasus fight. It wasn’t even an equine battle. No, this was the god’s battle, and the mortals that lived among the earth had to pay the price.

He was furious as he flew from the Throat, unable to look at it and continue to call it a home. Sunjata packed up his things (all two of them, the blade and his wing band) and left without looking back. But he didn’t make it far – his rage blinded him, making it hard to see where he was going, and as he finally began to reach the ground from his quick and furious flight, he ended up near the Heart Caves, grumbling consistently to himself as the minutes ticked on.

As he approached the mouth of the cave, a slick dark ebony rock slipped from beside the opening. It rolled slightly until it crossed the path of the blue jay, and yet Sunjata thought about stepping over it and continuing on, hiding himself among the caves never to be seen again. However, it began to wiggle slightly, and inevitably changed his mind quite possibly for the better. His pale head lowered, dark lips nipping at the rock to see what it was made of. But just before he could knock it away with his nose, it wiggled once again.

His pale ears perked forward, icy, rage-filled eyes glimmering as he looked upon the “stone”. When suddenly, a crack split the top. His head flew back as his wings flared out, ready to try and step on whatever came out of this… egg? A grunt escaped his lips as the egg paused for a moment of rest before continuing to crack the outer shell.

When finally, all the cracks had been made, the bits and pieces fell away to reveal a small, scaled creature. This was one he had seen before, from Korofi and even here in Helovia upon occasion. It was a crocodile. Immediately, instinct told him to leave, but something drew him to it. The little creature looked up at him with brilliant gold eyes, its powerful jaws open slightly as it attempted to hiss at Sunjata. Then, suddenly, a wave of hunger crashed over him. His brows furrowed as he shook his head, knowing he was far too angry to be hungry at a time like this. What could it be?

"Talk."

- I O N A -
We don't have to reap the fear they sow.



The painted mare knew she’d been distant lately - pulling herself away from what was familiar and sinking deeper into the familiar arms of the shadows that always seemed to embrace her.  Iver remained steadfast and for that, Iona was thankful.  The painted mare didn’t know what to expect from the soul bond.  It hadn’t been welcome - at least not at first.  Yet, slowly, Iver had cemented his place in Iona’s life - having already learned the warring moods of his bonded and learning when to press and when it was best to simply remain quiet. 
 
It helped now that he wasn’t completely helpless too. Sleek flight feathers had quickly replaced baby fuzz and while he still tended to grow tired quickly, flight was a skill he was well on his way to mastering.  At least now he could keep up with his bonded the majority of the time and didn’t have to rely on simply riding along for transportation.  
 
Iona was just glad that the skies were available to her once again.  
 
She and Iver flew along together - with the bird gliding along easily in Iona’s slipstream, conserving his own energy.  His sharp gaze was trained on the ground, like his bonded’s, scanning for things both familiar and unusual. 
 
She saw him then - the blue stallion from the marshes. The hint of something like a smile threatened to pull at her lips.  Perhaps without consciously realizing it, Iona found herself spiraling towards the earth.  The painted mare landed not far from where the blue stallion stood, engrossed in something.   
 
She left out a soft snort before moving closer to the stallion, but when it dawned on her what it was she was seeing - amusement flickered to life in the pit of her stomach. “Ha,” she said, mirth flickering in troubled eyes, “You too, huh?” she murmured, smug for someone who had been utterly terrified at the idea of bonding to a companion.  Then again, Sunjata didn’t have to know that particular tidbit of information.  Perched on the base of Iona’s neck, Iver rolled his beady eyes and let out a squawk of frustration.  The mare dutifully ignored the bird. 
 
Instead she took a half step forward and lowered her head, turning her emerald gaze upon the tiny creature.  She looked up at Sunjata curiously, wondering just what kind of creature this was, but Iona wasn’t one for the subtlety of glances, was she?
 
“What the hell is it?”  she asked, curiosity coloring the bluntness of the words.

Sunjata remained staring at this strange creature. Scaled, built relatively small, but with the biggest – most toothiest mouth he’d ever seen. A frown crossed his lips as he stared at this creature, it glares back with its slit pupiled gaze. Its mouth opened slightly, hanging there open as it began to hiss quietly and angrily. It blared in his mind, the hunger and the anger, to the point where Sunjata hadn’t even noticed Iona land nearby. Only when she laughed did his pale head whip up, icy eyes seeking who dared to think this was funny.

As his eyes landed on a familiar Pegasus, they softened slightly but remained simmering. “You too, huh?” She asked, causing Sunjata’s gaze to roam over the mare to the bird that seemed attached to her. Then, he remembered Volterra and the dragons. Immediately his ears flattened and he shook his head. “That can’t be. This is not helpful.” He grumbled, stepping closer to the dark crocodile as the hissing grew louder. His head lowered to it in an attempt to befriend the ancient, yet newly hatched creature.

SNAP

The jaws of the crocodile made a loud crack as it met with a few hairs off Sunjata’s muzzle. Instantly, Jata’s head flew back as he stepped away from the beast. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” His thickly accented voice blared as he glared down the creature, pulling his wings in tight to his sides in case the small creature tried to run. The companion, however, let his slit gaze roam to Iona and the bird, his jaw still half open as he hissed.

In my native tongue we called them krokodil. I do not know what they’re called here.” Sunjata finally answered, ears pinned against his head as he glared at the creature. When suddenly, the creature wasn’t done. He sprung into action, waddling toward Jata with a surprising amount of speed. Jata’s wings flew out as he reared up to avoid what target he thought the creature was going for, but when his legs reached the ground, the crocodile had managed to catch a rat snake, easily tearing the poor thing in half before swallowing it piece by piece. Then, he used his nearly useless legs to pull himself comfortably underneath Sunjata, staring out at Iona from the aftermath. “Wat die fok.” He grumbled, staring down at the crocodile.

"Talk."
