Björn where innocence is burned in flames
Björn does not have to wait long before Osiris pushes himself through the jungle, the dense jungle is no match for his massive size. He watches the stallion quietly as he moves across the clearing to stand near to him. Björn returns his nod with one of his own, a short jerk of his head. "Osiris," he says gruffly before his eyes are drawn to Elvira. The mare tries her best to come in unnoticed but his glacial eyes immediately find her as she slinks in to stand near to her mother.
A smile touches his pink lips as Nya eagerly approaches, a mischevious glint in her dark eyes. Secretly Björn wonders what mischief she has been up to. As she comes to a halt next to him, he casts a glance at her as she playfully bumps him. He nods at her question. "Yes, and here you are," he says with a fond bump to her shoulder his eyes lingering on her growing belly for a brief second before a movement pulls his focus away. His eyes settle on Tavas as she makes her way to stand amongst the growing herd. Their relationship is tense but he knows she will come around to him, eventually.
Glacial eyes narrow as Tigerlily appears from deep within the jungle's shadow. For the first time since they had met in the Meadow, he felt anger boil beneath his smoky hide at her sight. He swallows hard desperately trying to dispel the anger. She has made him look like a fool, and even had some of the men questioning his resolve. As she nears, he can see the pain that turmoils beneath the surface of her tawny hide and he begins to feel apologetic. He should of told her, but it all happened so quickly. He is about to reach out to offer in comfort, but her words of malice fill the space. Now tell me what you've done. The words spark something deep within his soul, as if she had put an igniter to a flame that had been snuffed out. His glacial eyes smolder as he looks upon her, returning her anger with his own.
"You know nothing of what I have done," he growls as he steps toward her. "I will tell you what YOU'VE done but it will not be here," he snaps. He turns away from her, even as she pleads for him to just tell her what has happened. She will find out soon enough.
He moves to stand next Nya once again, as Ysabel and Isabel arrive and linger on the outskirts. He clears his throat, drawing everyone's attention to himself. "I have gathered all of you here today to inform you that a War is coming to the Islands," his glacial eyes slide to each member of the herd, knowing there will be shock. "Warsaw and I have had an alliance since I have arrived back to the Islands and he has asked for me to join his cause," he pauses, before continuing. "I am not asking any of you to join, unless you feel it is the right thing for you to do," he says with a nod of his head. He would not force any of them to fight for something they did not believe in.
"And you do not need to tell me today, give yourself some time to think it over. You have until late spring to make your decision. And I will not hold it against you if you decide it is not for you, " his voice becomes gruff as he finishes. He knows the dangers of War all to well.
