So far Gent's time in the lagoon had been like a vacation. It was quiet, for starters, which normally he was not partial to - being a horse who preferred company and merriment - but the last few weeks it had been just the right kind of balm for his troubled mind. His mother's death had washed over him like a bad dream, but in its wake it had left a sour taste in his mouth: a taste that left him insatiable for more. More adventure, more memory-making, and more pursuing his own self-interests for nothing more than the pleasure it brought him. He had become aware of his own mortality, and he did not intend to waste it.

The tranquillity of this place was beginning to wear thin, however. Initially he had liked it for how removed from reality it seemed, but now he was becoming bored and lonely. The few scents he had stumbled upon that indicated other stallions were using the lagoon as a refuge were no longer enough to reassure him that this place was not completely abandoned. The brotherly camaraderie he had found with Diamant and Ailill was nothing more than a distant memory now, and it was time to find a replacement. Argento was too sociable to be alone forever. He needed to be a part of something larger, something that lifted him up and motivated him to do bigger and better things.

So it was that one grey autumn day the young stallion picked a scent and began to follow it. It crossed his mind briefly, as the trail led him along the coastal cliffs that overlooked the pools and eddies of the beach at low tide, that perhaps none of the other strangers that haunted the lagoon wanted to be found. It may well have been that he was walking straight into a trap: that whomever lurked at the end of this trail would meet him with hooves and teeth. It took a lot to scare young Gent, however. If anything, the thought of a scuffle excited him; in his opinion, a good fight was something every grown stallion should endure at some point in their life.

Of course, Argento was young and inexperienced. For good measure, he gave a hearty neigh to announce his presence, just in case the stranger he sought did not take kindly to being surprised.
