His failed attempt at stealing the black Forest mare was disappointing, but his spirits were lifted when he arrived at the Falls. There he saw a mare of black and white with a young colt. He didn't hesitate to begin the acts of driving her back to the Inlet especially when he caught the scent of the Forest on her. He didn't say anything to the mare as he drove her into the sea. Typically, a stallion would kill such a young colt to get the mare to come back in heat, but he would allow her to hold onto some hope. For now.

They reached the Inlet where he pushes her forward with his nose to reach his beach. It wasn't until he had both mother and child out of the water that he begins to question them. Warsaw stands hoof deep in the water, blocking their pathway home. "You come from the Forest, yes? I have special business with the leader there and you will now be my bargaining chip." He knew Persephone would not bear his child with just a warning and a few attacks on her herd. Maybe the capture of this mare would be enough to get this thing moving in his favor.

His eyes trail to the young colt. The boy wouldn't live long here in this cold so Warsaw would allow him to freeze by stripping him away from his mother where he would make sure the mare stayed warm for the coming fall. He would put his seed in her belly before bringing her home and offering her as trade-in turn for Persephone's womb.
