Xanthos could not believe what he had done. This was not him, a stallion sneaking into another herd and beating down another to get them to follow, especially when that other was the Weyrleader of Dragon's Throat. Perhaps he had finally snapped, and everyone's racism towards those that did not fashion a horn was rubbing off on him. "No," he had quickly told himself with a shake of his head, "This is to prove myself not some dimwitted fool. This is to protect Romani and her beloved home."
While he held no particular vendetta against the Dragonheart, he knew that that wasn't the case with members of the Ex-Edge, or more recently, Aurorans. She was the one responsible for the invastion that ran the unicorns out of their home, and now, she would receive punishment. Admittedly, he was estatic to see their reactions when he came home with his prize in tote, but none more than Psyche's. Of course, the Crux had been taken, as well as his Corporal, but if everyone was out to get Mirage like he thought... Well, he was sure it wouldn't be terribly hard to keep her within the Basin. After all, would she even know where she was when she awoke?
Before leaving, the stallion had scoped out a wide, but short cave, and that was where he had taken the Weyrleader until she was back on her feet again. Like a prison guard Xanthos had stood just outside the mouth of the cave, and when he spotted her black form moving ever so slowly towards the exit, he knew it was time to make himself known.
Despite his first instincts to apologize, the unicorn knew that such words wouldn't get him anywhere. Inhaling deeply, he stepped forward, yellow eyes lingering upon Mirage's for a moment before he spoke. "How does it feel to be on the other end this time?" His voice came out evenly, despite the tinge of anger he truly did feel. "Being taken from your home... How could you do that?
Even if the Edge had not been his home, he didn't think the outcome right at all. Then, what he had heard the Sun and Time God speaking of back in the Steppe... Was it true?
