Drawing in a sharp breath pale lips, fumble with the harsh bark of one of Lyden’s favorite oak trees. Often he would find himself coming here to think, relax or just simply watch the inhabitants of his home unfold. It is this place he watched his home will up with those who wanted to be here, who needed him. And unfortunately it is this place he watched all those who came freely, leave him just as easily.

After everything he put his family and he threw, Cae choose to flee. Right behind that was Azazel and finally dickerie and dock. One after another it was as if the forest became bad news to them. It seemed as though the forest harbored too painful of memories for them to deal with on a daily basis. Often he wondered what others from the outside must have thought watching a scenario such as this unfold.

Alexander heard something directly in front of them and squealed as he shot forward, promptly urging his father onward. Lyden stall’s for a moment watching his youthful son leap forward with excitement that caused a smile to play with the corners of his mouth before he stepped forward.

Alex knew better then to slowly move forward and easily continued onward at a fast pace that forced his father to move faster. He smelt his sister and the queen here, gandy? But he also sensed someone else who isn’t his brother. Squealing again mostly in objection to what he is smelling Lyden finally caught on and surged forward lacing his ears backwards as they burst through the jungle.

Standing there was Gandy wrapped around Jokulrus and an unknown intruder. He smelt strongly of the lagoon and without thinking twice Lyden bounded into a canter as he charged towards the dark bay stallion who attempted at that time to drive his queen away from the forest.

Nostrils flare just as an angry scream bellowed through his lips drifting through everything around them as the pale leader moved swiftly wedging himself in-between gandy and the male. Lips part once more as he snaps his teeth at the colts nape driving him away from his family as Lyden stays on his hind end not allowing any room for the boy to stop moving and or kick out at him and have it do any real damage. While doing this Alexander moves to his sister and her mother and tries to stand proudly beside them as though he is a part of this rescue his father just created.
