For you, this might seem like a natural progression for Gaucho - a creature who in his short time in Helovia has sparred nearly anything that will humor him. He has fought in the Invasion of the Foothills, and has proudly and diligently guarded the walls and inhabitants of the Throat. Doesn't it seem natural, that he would seek out a higher position within the herd? Perhaps, but that is simply not how the primitive beasts' mind works. For him, there is almost nothing more difficult than to disrespect the hierarchy of the herd. It was Kri, his commander, who had placed each Sargent in their respective places; who was he to question her judgement? He was nothing; a 17.2 hand, muscular warrior-beast, of nothing. And yet he was here. Levi had not been there during the invasion, or lended his aid to the heightened security of the Throat, in the absence of the warriors who fought. He did not participate in the recent Tournament, and when the lights suddenly disappeared from the sky, once again, he was no where to be found.

When the heaven's went dark, Gaucho was on patrol, and had moved as swiftly as his large body could endure, to find his General, My-dus to tell him the news. It was not surprising that Levi was not there, for he had been absent for too long, but it was unacceptable. Gaucho had vowed to protect his herd, and although his primitive mind struggled with the idea of challenging a superior so placed by Kri, he would. For the darkening of the sky was not the only thing to shake Gaucho's world: Sohalia was pregnant.

Through the darkness, Gaucho's stormy gaze sought his Sargent without success. Mara, who hung sheepishly in his antlers, still was sulking due to her part in causing Gaucho to lose against Hector in the tournament. So caught up in battle, her youthfulness had gotten the best of her, and in her confusion she had bit and poisoned Gaucho, instead of Hector. The error had cost him the battle, and yet Gaucho was not angry or disappointed at all - quite the opposite. The bond between beast and snake was clearly too young, and Hector had bested them. There was not a doubt in Gaucho's mind, that the younger tribrid was the rightful winner; this message he attempted to convey (even if rather poorly) to Mara several times. Even so, she huffed in his antlers, remaining silent.

Halting abruptly, Gaucho's massive black wings shot from his sides, as his body hurtled up into the air. Balancing on his back legs, he struck the skies forcefully, screaming shrilly into the night - which was in fact morning. "LEVI" He bellowed, mashing his teeth together on the way down furiously. His large hooves slammed onto the cold sands, as his ears pinned back against his dark skull. Another angry cry released from his mouth, as his antlered brow twirled, following his large body which spun in a circle.

What angered the warrior, was his growing doubt that Levi would show up at all. Although Levi had been mysteriously absent lately, Gaucho had not believed he would simply take his place so easily - nor did he wish to. He wanted to fight his brother in arms - to make him realize how unacceptably absent he had been lately - in the only language he knew: that of hooves, and teeth, and blood.
