From her grazing between the sandy bars of the Isle she spotted the return of the old King. She watched a few horses congregate, one of which being a filly from the Tournament. She immediatly stood by Shazaam who was obviously going through an unsure time in his short life. Geez now I know why they were all herded to the beach, she thought brusquely, sneaking behind the filly. Sharp ears flick to wait for a heat in conversation so she won't be noticed. A sigh escaping her, she nipped the filly resoloutly on the butt. "I think it's time you went back to the beach," she whispered sternly. "Bit of a private time, don't you think?" She asked, not expecting or wanting an answer. If the filly were at all observant she would've noticed that no one dared interrupt the turbulent rejoining between Daughter of Light, Steel Dream, Shazaam, and Steel Destiny. They were all family members, whereas Daughter of Time was not, no matter her previous dire situations that she thought matched the current ones.

The arrival of someone in terrible pain yanks her hearstrings back to their proper place. Turning, chocolate eyes moving swiftly past those gathered some distance away, she sees a small filly, not one from the tournament, favoring a badly injured leg. "I must go help that filly," she excuses herself gently. "It cannot wait. Phoenix, stay here." The mare pulls away, trotting up the slight incline. She pauses at her eldest son, looking with concern. "Shazaam, please talk to me when I have healed that filly," she pleads, turning with her heart aching from the look of betrayal she saw in her son.

Phoenix heeds his mother's words of his own accord, reaching up his tiny nose to touch his father's. Attempting to mimic his mother's behavior, he snorts lightly before taking a baby-soft breath. He folds his knees under him and curls up between his father's --the knowledge was instinctive-- front hooves. He stares reproachfully at those gathered on the hill from his protected position. He had tolerated the crowd as his mother did, but she had left and thus given him permission to do with crowds as he felt like doing. At the moment, he was entirely confused by the ongoings and simply wondering why everything seemed to be happening at once in his short life.
