Gidge and Casi had talked at length about him stepping up into the position of leader of Omashu in passing. The obsidian bronc had always expressed that he would be glad ot help his mate out, no matter the reason. Gidge would do everything possible in his power to make sure his family knew how love they were. He'd do literally anything to make them happy. Sometimes that passion became a detriment, but it wasn't so often anymore. Casi had really helped ground Gidge, and since the arrival of their son it had only increased. The former dark could no longer be reckless as he once was, because children were highly impressionable.The day had come where Casi had decided to step down from his position both as a Vigilum and as a herd leader. His beloved had wanted to spend more time with their son, and enjoy his retirement.
He could do that leaving Omashu under Gidge's guidance. It had been a little unexpected in timing, but Gidge knew that Casi was growing weary of both areas of his life. If there was anyone who deserved the relaxation, it was Casi. Elianna reached out and brushed his shoulder with her trunk, bringing him back to the present and out of his thoughts. Gidge cast a glance toward his large friend with a smile. Eli would always have his back, and he was grateful. Kanoni was so well loved and protected, just as Omashu would be. Gidge let out a long call to summon the herd of Omashu to their usual gathering location for herd meetings. So far the only thing that would be changing was who was leading Omashu.
All of the positions and rules Casi had created would remain in place. Members were welcome to stay, or leave if they desired. Gidge hoped they would stay, but he would understand if they didn't. His white gaze slipped over to Eli and she rested her runk over his withers in reassurance. Next, he would go and visit the royals to inform them that he was now leading Omashu. Gidge wondered if they would trust him. He had a history with Nixi at least, and some days he wasn't convinced they believed he'd abandoned his ties with the Dark Kingdom. He had, and unfortunately so. As he waited for the bodies to arrive, he idly wondered if Azriel was still heading up Trembling Shadows.

It was with some trepidation that Liylah approached the source of the call that had summoned the herd of Omashu together, finding some solace in knowing that Elsa was right beside her. She vaguely recognized the owner of the voice to have called the herd together to be her half-brother's mate. Not Casi himself. Despite the efforts Elsa had made to reassure her that everything was probably fine -- though Liylah could clearly see some degree of worry reflected in her guardian's gentle expression -- the buckskin damsel could not help fearing the absolute worst. It had always been a struggle she had endured, even before her life had taken an awful turn with the violent death of her mother. After witnessing such a traumatic event at such a young age... perhaps it was little wonder that her ability to view things in the best light possible had diminished even more. Hindered further by the fact that she had also always struggled with change. Leaving Mount Vigilum behind to live in Omashu had been difficult enough a couple of years ago. She had finally begun to feel settled, that maybe everything could be okay.... but now it was someone other than Casi calling the herd together. Why?
Watching the young femme, Elsa could not deny that she felt an equal amount of anxiety over the call, unsure of what it meant for the future. She was simply grateful that she could focus on trying to keep Liylah calm, instead of her own mind overwhelming her. After more than one unpleasant experience in the past, it could be hard not to be feeling panicky about such situations, but having someone else to focus on helped at least to some small degree. Not having to deal with alone helped too. She felt her heart skip a beat at the thought of Espoir. Getting to know him better was... slow, but she also knew that was her own fault. Much as she found herself enjoying his company, she also could not deny the toll that the past had upon her ability to feel truly comfortable in the presence of a stallion.
And the fact that the monster to haunt her nightmares, a beast by the name of Charm, knew exactly where she lived... did not help in the slightest.
Turning her head a little to scan others with her good eye, she noted with some relief that Eagon, Halina, and Tristan had caught up with them. In fact, Tristan seemed to have picked up on Liylah's distress and, helpful lad that he was, seemed to be trying to cheer her up. Glad to have others along she was most familiar with, attention shifted forward as the small group reached where Gidge and his elephant were waiting.
Aware that his friend wouldn't be at all comfortable with speaking up, while simultaneously desperate to know what was going on, Tristan took it upon himself to ask right away, 'Where's Casimiro?' Though he had uttered the question, the anxious way Liylah's emerald pools fixed on the black stallion made it clear the question truly originated with her.

It had been a roller coaster that his life had gone through. First he and Heos had come to this new, strange world, then he had faced some struggles, and then, Heos left again after she had some troubles of her own, had a foal and then his struggles led him straight to the love of his life. The ebon and ivory painted stallion, Pyrrhous, he had helped those struggles, as the painted stud was a bit more shy and uncertain than he had been, and Phaes wanted to make things easy on the stallion and had succeeded. He and Pyr had been an item for quite some time and had recently, through aid from Eudora, had welcomed a pair of bouncing young colts to the world. Between Pyr and the twins, Phaes' life was one hundred percent complete. The onyx dyed Clydesdale and Shire cross had yet again, stood watch over his heart and the boys as they slept. He was a slightly imposing sight, standing at seventeen point one hands, black as coal, with slightly unsettling pale jade green eyes and thickly feathered, snow dipped pillars. Yet, if you really knew him, he was the sweetest, biggest, teddy bear of a horse. He smiled as he swung his heavy crown toward the sound of a summons. His harks switched as he listened. He and Pyr were new members in this herd, yet, Phaes knew the voices of the lead and co-lead, this summons was from the co-lead, Gidge, he believed was his name. Why was the co-lead calling them instead of the lead? Curiosity rose to the front of his mind and he turned to his heart and reached out to nuzzle his nape lightly. "Pyr. My Heart, we are being called to a meeting by Gidge. I'll head up slowly, so you and the boys aren't too rushed." He murmured gently and then shifted, feathered pillars carrying him slowly toward the meeting spot. Soon, the draft stud drew himself to a halt close to the others that had also answered the summons of the onyx co-lead. Yet he was still close enough that if Pyr or the boys got too overwhelmed he was there to offer his familiarity to them. Then he tipped his towers toward the stud waiting. He wondered what this could be about, whatever it was, he would hear it to the end and then make a decision on whatever might need to be answered and decided upon.

Cassian Cassian was still in a state of denial that Casi had stepped away from being in the Vigilum. It was not that he didn’t understand the other stallions reasons. More he was trying to convince himself that it was true. Casi had told him and Dur that he had been biased and let something happen that he could, no should, have stopped. As such he had failed the oaths all Vigilum took upon drinking from the pool that the river Justice fed. It hurt his heart to lose his friend right now. But more than that, the Vigilum needed to be at full strength right now. With the war of Utopia and Underworld boiling over and spilling into the mortal world. Maybe if they had been more aware, focused on what was happening around them and not inside their own circle they could have stopped things from getting this far. Cassian felt this was probably their biggest shame and he would forever regret not stepping in sooner. Now they had a war and where one member short. It was a disaster. They needed to fill the gap as soon as possible, and maybe even train a new apprentice so a gap like this was not possible again in the future if for some reason himself or Dur or even the new unknown member was removed suddenly as Casi had been All this had been swirling about his mind as he prepared to head out for the day to join Dur at Mount Vigilum when he heard a call ring over the quite land. A herd meeting? It was not however Casi that called the meeting but his mate Gidge. Cassians heart sank as he guessed he knew the reason for Gidge and not Casi calling this meeting. Hoping he was wrong and Cassian was not about to lose his friend as a herd leader as well as fellow Vigilum the spotted stallion trotted towards the gathering site. A few of the herd had already arrived as Cassian entered the clearing but a quick glance about the gathered told him not all had come yet. Cassian approached Gidge and the now familiar from of his companion elephant. He dipped his head in respect to the black stallion. He did not really know Gidge, only that he was a stable fixture next to Casi. A dark turned light. Cassian wondered what Casi had told Gidge about his stepping down from the Vigilum but he supposed in the end it didn’t matter. “Morning Gidge, Elianna.” He spoke as he lifted his crown. “I have a feeling I know the manner of this meeting and want you toknow you will still have my support.” He spoke this last part quickly so only the black stallion would hear, not wanting to cause a stir within the gathering herd. He then stepped back and waited for what Gidge had to say. Tagged: ❅ Icy Dragon ✩ ➳ T e c h n o ➳ Indi Wolf Heart fleabittengrayMuse: Okay Words: 886Notes: Cassian reporting in.

Gidge waited for a time, and watched as a handful of his herd mates filtered in. Among the first to arrive, Tristan stepped forward and asked where Casi was. Gidge offered the bronc a strained smile. He didn't feel any more at ease with Eli beside him when he was confronted by his mate's absence. His pale gaze remained on the stag. "I will answer that question shortly. Rest assured, our deeply beloved Casi is safe and well with our son Kanoni." He murmured, and hoped that it would satisfy the bronc for now. Next to arrive amidst the small family was Phaes, followed shortly by Cassian. The feeling of awkwardness rooted itself deeper inside Gidge.
The ebon bronc had liked Cassian, but with Casi leaving the Vigilum, it was going to be uncomfortable for a while. Still, the Appaloosa bronc offered his support to the once dark-lead. Eli shifted closer to Gidge a moment before bowing her head in response to Cassian's greeting. It was always a wonder to him how fond she seemed to be of those in his life. Gidge was grateful. After a more time had passed, and no more bodies showed up he decided he would announce the change. If the other members showed up, they would be told the same information.
"Thank you all for coming to this meeting. I have called you all here today to let you know that Casimiro has decided to step back from his duties as your leader. He will not be leaving Omashu, but I have offered to step in and take his place as your leader." The obsidian bronc allowed a pause for any questions or statements from those who had gathered. He cast a glance toward the small family that had gathered nearby before he continued on. "Casi wanted more freedom to enjoy time with our family, with Kanoni especially. He's had much responsibility in his life, and he deserves the freedom to enjoy his time as much as anybody else. That being said, aside from me stepping in, nothing will change here. Ranks will be retained, all I ask is that you come to me if you need anything." Gidge finished his speech. It wasn't impressive or rambling like it usually was, but it was sufficient.

x RYZEK Ryzek didn't leave Omashu often, but he did linger around the borders, lurking and waiting and watching. For what, the blue-eyed yearling didn't know, but he felt he was always waiting for something or someone. The return of his parents, maybe? As if that would ever happen. He had no family anymore, not that he knew of. No siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins... He was alone, aside from the herd, but the curly coated colt just didn't feel like he fit in here. Of course, he also wasn't trying very hard to fit in and make friends. Socially awkward, Ryzek didn't know what the best ways of making friends were. He just wanted to have pre-made friends, if that was a thing. Was there anyone in the herd even close to his age? He was in his awkward phase. Not quite a boy, not quite a man. Somewhere in between. It sucked. He hated it. He didn't know what he wanted more - to be a kid forever, or to be all grown up. Why did life have to be so weird? Deep in contemplation, he nearly missed the summoning call from... No, that wasn't Casi. What the heck? Where was Casi? Blinking slowly, he delayed his departure perhaps a little too long, and by the time he was dashing off in the direction of the call, several minutes had passed. Darn it, he was going to be late! Ears tilting back as he stumbled and galloped onward, Ryzek hoped this wouldn't result in him getting kicked out of the herd... He had nowhere else to go! He slowed his pace once the massive elephant that belonged to Gidge came into view, bashfully lowering his head, panting, and walking up to the group of equines just as Gidge was giving his explanation. "Sorry I'm late..." he rambled out quickly, shuffling his feet as he came to a halt. "I'm just glad Casi's okay..."➳ T e c h n o ➳ ❅ Icy Dragon ✩ Pippin Indi Wolf Heart | 321| RyzekBette late than never I guess? I'm so sorry 1 year 2 months, spring, mid-day?, before the war starts
