There was no hesitation in his steps as he draws closer to the pale Akhal-Teke. Heat rises in his throat as the stallion repeats his words back to him. Yes, they fought side by side in the war. Kahraman served as the back up he needed to keep himself alive, but he had not been there in the end. Cullen had not known where his disappeared to as Ruger drove him into the sea. He was close to death and expected his brother to be there to keep what life he had left in his body. Then Bozena bellowed her challenge and Verrat had to go. His son sacrificed himself to try and save their brothers. He failed and until lately, Cullen has not seen any of his old herd since. He has not seen Kahraman since the battlefield in the Forest. The stallion’s voice continues, resulting in a snarl from the golden captain.
He mocks him. Cullen stomps a hoof with a toss of his skull. Anger nestles deeper into his heart so his blue eyes narrow the image he has of his former brother. The stallion was sly, but hasn’t that always been true? Even when they first met and he beat the crap out of him, he still ended up bringing him back home. Cullen invited him into the Lagoon and made him stand at his side as they charged into battle. Cullen stops with his muzzle just inches from the cremello’s. He could feel his hot breath beating against his forehead as he continues his speech. Kahraman had led him here and he had followed. That much was true. He had followed because he had to know where the stallion now stands.
He watches the stallion suspiciously when he speaks again. At this distance, Cullen can feel the tremble of the stallion’s breathing. This causes a smirk to spread across his face. Especially as he asks if he plans to kill him. ”No I do not plan to kill you.” He head stretches to stare at his old friend in the eyes. ”But I do plan on making you feel pain. Sure, you where there for me on the battlefield, but then you were gone before everything was over. I nearly died and I needed protection. No one was there for me except my son, but he had failed. My brothers were lost to the Peak and in turn I lost everything I had except for my home.” He snorts. ”What I need now is a new set of brothers who will stay by my side. I need loyalty and I’m not sure I can get it from you.”
At the end of his last words, Cullen strikes his teeth towards the stallion’s nose.
