A day the stallion feared would come had arrived... and he was not the least bit happy about it. That was just putting it mildly; if he were being truthful, he was downright furious. Over his travel, it had gotten to the point that enough heat came off his body so the grass beneath his hooves was a singed brown color, leaving a clear trail behind.
When he finally figured out what was happening, the stallion had to work to calm himself down, and it was a struggle given the rage building in his heart. But he couldn't approach Nerine like this... he didn't want to be seen as a threat.
But it wasn't just anger festering... he was scared, frightened for his family, who he had left in Taiga's woods to make this journey. The knowledge of Castile's presence and Lepis' stepping down to leave a colt in charge worried Aten to no end, for he didn't know what fate had in store for his loved ones. His beautiful mare, Lethia... the four foals they raised... the spirited Poppy, the dashing Owin, the spirited Kalil, the strong Orion...
Aten would do anything to keep them safe. And the nature inside him knew that too. Which is why his temperature had begun to rise the more he thought of his family's safety, hoping that nothing would happen even though he'd left Turul behind to watch over them.
The stallion made the journey to Nerine alone, intent on speaking with Heartfire. When he reached the border, he marched right on past, not stopping to take customs into account. He was too focused right now... he had to see her, get to the bottom of this matter before shit hit the fan...
When Aten was far enough inside Nerine's land, he called out to the roan mare, not stopping to wait patiently but continuing on in the hopes that, if she heard him and then saw him, she would hurry over to hear what he had to say.
@[Heartfire] short little intro, but Aten has got some words to say.
