The golden stallion felt an irritated urge rising in his bones as he lamented on the events of the past season on his walk to Taiga's main meadow one bright summer late morning. Most likely his irritable attitude could be attributed to how he felt there wasn't a lot of action, so to speak, this season, but instead a lot of waiting around for orders since he couldn't really go off and do what he wanted.
Well, technically, he could, but he didn't want to arouse suspicions, especially not after his latest conversation with Heartfire. He couldn't afford to set off any alarms among the kingdom residents, save for Lethia and her three foals. Anything to keep them safe... Aten would tell them what they needed to know, and nothing more, if it pertained to their safety. He would personally escort them out of Taiga's territory by any means to keep them alive. He didn't favor any of Lethia's foals over the others, but he had become much more protective since the birth of his and Lethia's son, Kalil.
Knowing he had a blood relative out there, for certain... Aten felt an instinct stirring in him like never before. The drive of the lead stallion to protect those of herd... even if in other herds colts would be kicked out when they reached a certain age.
But Aten would never experience those feelings toward his son, not in the current kingdom dynamic. He felt no threat from Kalil, especially with the colt's younger age. And he had quite the personality, so Aten would be surprised if any horse wanted to kick the bubbly and brave colt out of a herd. His drive to explore and the comic presence he provided when he and the marbled cat were around each other was quite endearing. Two presences so pure and happy...
It was a light that would never go out.
The golden stallion's news would be short, simple, to the point. He would not lie to Lepis about what Ruinam had said about an alliance between the Resort and Taiga. So, when he reached the main meadow, he wasted no time in calling out to the kingdom's leader. He almost couldn't wait to tell her... to see what she would think of her own actions when they might have condemned a possible future she considered.
