Guess who just happened to be in the area checking on his Lagoon when an alerting call came from Adolfo? That's right, this guy!

He gallops towards the growing group with eyes narrowed on Bjorn. He could not gather everything that was happening with so many there, but he did collect the idea that some members of the Lagoon were trying to escape. Cullen stops briefly to catch the sight of Augustine escaping with Adelia, their mother, and his foals. A growl leaves him, but by the way Augustine carries himself Cullen can gather, he was in great pain. His sights set back on Bjorn who was actively attacking Adolfo. He could spot fresh wounds on his fellow lagoonie so his pace quickens to reach them before anything worse happened.

But his course suddenly changes. He spots Ysabel and a draft mare with the two foals he took from the Ridge. He decides that while Adolfo had Bjorn, Lagertha, and the red-spotted mare distracted he would capture the rest of them before they decided to sneak off. "Don't leave so soon Ysabel!" He calls with a smug grin on his face as he canters towards them. Teeth reach to grab for her mane just as he had done the last time they met.

(Ysabel)

She was happy to have Elvira and Siobhan at her side through her hasty decision to take action. Even Bjorn and his sister followed suit (she assumed Nyimara wouldn't be far behind them as well) as the plunged into the sea and swam to the Lagoon. One by one they followed her onto the shore where the foals were quickly found and the fighting started. Elvira whispers to her and Ysabel nods her head in agreement. They had to move quickly before any other else showed up. Just like that, they were spotted.

The Fjord stallion that was previously fighting with the other was now charging towards herself and the group. Ysabel gasps and quickly shields herself in front of Isabel and Sigurdr, but it is Siobhan who really shines in this moment. The mare who seemed so scared to fight the first time one of the Lagoon came charging her way now seemed ready and waiting for it. She attempts to fight off the Fjord while shouting at Ysabel and Elvira to take the oppurtunity and run. Typically, Ysabel would not leave her friend to fight alone, but this time saving her daughter was the most important thing. Besides, she knew Bjorn and Lagertha would be along quickly to aid Siobhan.

Just as she thought this, they appear with Lagertha ordering her to take the children away. She only watches for a second as Lagertha and Bjorn face the Lagoon stallion before pushing down foals with her nose towards the way they arrived. This is when Cullen's voice sends a shiver down her spine. She avoids his advances to grab her and snaps her teeth at his chest. She would be damned if he bested her again!
