Watching the two, he saw a smile glide onto Sahm's lips. "Runes.. they usually look like gibberish but some horses can decode them, I do not know how. They held demonic spirits - until the recent change in kingdom loss of magic - that made any who entered face their inner demons, no matter what they be. You came out with either a black or white scar if you passed, and nothing but a mentally shredded soul if you failed, and if you come upon failing, you could be exempt from the initiation. It is a dangerous task." He says, answering some questions and clearing some fog, to the pair in front of him. Dipping his head and flicking an ear about to listen, he recognizes Newton's introduction. "Pleasure to meet you both." He says, his expression growing in happiness, and some of it spills onto his voice. His eyes are molten again, and his demeanor more welcoming, yet still guarded.
Hoofbeats catch his ears and he turns, seeing a slightly distressed looking sister come towards him at a speedy trot. "Saw him come over here. Who is he?" She asks, taking shallow breaths and eyeing Sahm and Newton warily as the stand behind him. She flicks an ear back, listening for anyone else, then returns her attention to what's in front on her. "Sis, it's okay. The black one is Sahm and the red one is Newton. Sahm is joining our ranks, and Newton is a resident here. It's okay, Rael. We're fine." The grey stallion says, soothing his sister and sending an apologetic look back to the pair, before turning towards the two again. "Sahm, Newton, this is my sister Rael Fire." He says, introducing her to them. She gives a small huff and shuffles forward to stand equal to her brother.

The grey mare was near the entrance, but on the far side of the kingdom, when a stallion burst through and headed for one of the corners. She saw her brother follow after pretty quickly, and started over herself. By the time she arrived, she was slightly breathless - or so she says, but she's really exhausted from training - and panted out a question nervously. They looked unfamiliar and she didn't know how to deal with them. Her brother, Real, soothed her and she slowed her breathing, focusing as she introduces them and steps equal to Real Fire. She wonders what brought this 'Sahm' here, and looks around with interest.
"Sahm. Interesting name. What caste are you leaning towards? We will always accept mode warriors, but spies are sometimes helpful. Not so much on the battlefield, sadly. I'm Rael Fire, Lieutenant of the Tundra." She says, dipping her head slightly and nudging at the fact she hopes he'll join the warrior caste, and stands quietly.
