Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction
Kratos had waited and watched with hooded, calculating eyes as the iron-grey mare led their false king away. Through their own lapse in vigilance the boy had been stolen but nonetheless it was a curious turn of events. The Brotherhood was rid of their crowned nuisance and neither a hair nor a temper tantrum had to be thrown about the Tundra in order to do it. For now, at least – until the veil fell. But Kratos would wait for that, too. The kingdom doesn’t hide the titan well, although nearly nothing did, and if one had been watching him when Errant’s call came they would have seen a splinter of lightning spark across his painted skin. Kratos had not willingly came to the call of any other stallion but the Nightwalker and as he moved to answer Errant’s, a pang of dormant sorrow rang through him. But Kratos bares his teeth and flings his heavy white head (as if he could shake the memories away) as he makes his way to the gathering.
The black and white draft flicks a feathered ear at Errant as he asks the question they have all already answered, “fuck no, we choose a new king to sit today,” he says– Mountain will be king here no longer. His eyes shift to the roan as he adds another tally to his grandfather’s scroll of supporters, he offers his name to the stallion first, “Kratos,” he tells him. He knows Errant intends to take the throne but still he says, “I would lead the Brothers,” he is young and brash and his blood is thick with generations of kings yet he adds, “but I would serve you too,” and his words are not lies. He knows he is a dark stranger to most of them here, he is not foolish enough to think they would chose the wild youngblood over their old magician king? Kratos would not be content to just be part of the cadre long and he wondered what role Errant would have them play in the war that was soon coming. But for now he would give his bloodline his vote and bide his time.
For the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his hunger
KRATOS
