For so long he had pint up rage from the disappearance of Nova and Leviathan. He held it in and tried to forget, but it was impossible. Requiem was a reminder every day that he could not claim him as his only son on the islands. For now, he was just a random colt he stole from his mother. Requiem knew the truth, but he would never tell his secret because he knew the Lagoon may come for him if he did. Requiem's loyalty to Warsaw and his want to remain on Tinuvel kept him from telling anyone. All this could have been avoided if Leviathan would have gone to become a bachelor.

The colt's life would not have been bad there. The Lagoon was all about its brothers and keeping the brotherhood strong. He would just have made their numbers greater, but he would have been treated well. Warsaw knew this so he didn't worry giving one child away to his relative who remained boss of the Lagoon. At least he would be with some family and make some new friends. Nova probably didn't understand this because he never got to explain it to her. She didn't want to be parted from her child, but Warsaw made a promise that was now a debt. He didn't know how much longer Cullen would wait.

Her reaction told him every everything. She came back, but it didn't seem like she came back to find him. Actually, her face said he was the last stallion she wanted to see. Determination hit Nova's face, but he only laughs. She was feisty, he remembers this from three years ago, but he was determined as well. Determined to break her for her treachery against him. "Maybe so, but you are not and we could always create another." He places that same nip on her shoulder just as he had down three years ago. "You are mine again and this time we will create a son that will fulfill this duty to the Lagoon." The larger stallion moves his frame to push her towards the ocean. "You remember the way? We will talk more at the Inlet." Warsaw attempts to drive her further towards the beach, into the ocean, and onward to Tinuvel.
