Dragon listened, glaring at both of them. Elysium repeated herself, so he only paid attention to her son’s words. Was he still rambling about how he should love the mare? Dragon snorted, and quickly pushed in a set of his own words before they started up talking again. "I belong with Kyuui. The mare belongs with Herculean. What more can be said? I’ve already explained why we don’t belong together. Why do you shut out my words, and expect me to listen to yours? And just because your sisters are spread out across the island doesn’t mean we are meant for each other. Other stallions force breed a mare as many times as they want, how do you know I didn’t do the same with your mother?"

He didn’t mention the fact that her son swore, and he didn’t scold him. He watched as the mare started to walk away, and he heard her son call after her. Words continued to pour, and finally he locked his gaze with her son’s. "I will get my home back. Be prepared." And with his message shared, he turned away, cow kicked, and trotted away from all his problems. The next time I find that mare or her children on my home, and will kill them or chase them off. He vowed before breaking into a gallop. It felt good to race on his old home, which would be his again. When he stopped, he found himself on a mountain.

Rearing, he called out a challenge for his home.
