Almost two weeks have passed since Tinuvel went up in smoke. Shamwari and Evren came to his shore which resulted in Warsaw's action to declare war on the Forest. Persephone continues to refuse his offer so, as he warned her previously, he would not stop until this was over. He would not stop until he has won.

Since his declaration a lot has happened. Shortly after Shamwari and Evren left with Hannah there was a mare who forced her way into his home. He hasn't met a mare so vicious and bloodthirsty for battle in a long time. Xiomara reminds him of Morrigan except that black Friesian was his mate and lover. Xiomara was neither of those things, but now she was his leader. Never in a million years would he bow to a mare or allow a mare to rule him over, but this mare was some how different. For some reason he could not bring himself to leave Tinuvel despite what it meant to stay there. He would figure everything out with Xiomara later because for now he needed to catch up with his allies.

It was time they all knew his decision with the Forest so they could all start planning and preparing together. He did hope they all were still on his side despite losing his kingdom. He would get everything back where it needs to be in due time, but he had to go one step at a time. Warsaw goes to the Lagoon and rallies Cullen to come with him. From there he guides Cullen to Paradise where he rounds up Rougaru, explaining to both of them he needed all his allies gathered in one place to talk about something important. He leads both stallions to the Ridge where he call for Bjorn. Once Bjorn arrived they would all be here and he would let them know what this gathering was about.
