Featuring Holokai | Stallion | Retired Chieftain
Winter, Year 2004
Kahukura Island, Hihiri

The first thing Holokai had felt was rage. The fire that burned in the pit of his stomach had roared, wrapping it's blazing tendrils around his heart and billowing forth toward retribution. It had taken every ounce of discipline he possessed to rein in his pain and fury and defer to the authority of the Holy One and his own successor, Chieftain Seashell. But he made his position clear. There was only one fate that awaited murderous traitors and that fate belonged to Kitana.

But after... after he felt empty. All of the sadness and loss he had felt three years ago, the sheer tragedy of it all, came flooding back. Lohané's death- it was Kitana! That deceitful traitorous- she had murdered him in cold blood and then had the gall to bring forth his body and claim his title! And to cast the blame on...

He had to get a grip. Wandering into the hut he shared with his mate, Holokai did his best to avoid pacing. He busied himself with this or that, but his claws were shaking every time he paused. He shook his head and rifled through a basket of dried kelp and some edible roots. Within he found a familiar sack- it had been given to him by the renegade stallion Theo outside of the smoldering markets at Beryl Bay. He knew the people of the north were meat-eaters, but pulling the large egg from the bag, Holokai didn't think he could bring himself to eat it. He wandered out to the garden regarding the egg in an intense effort to distract himself. Oddly, it felt warm. He wondered what manner of creature might have laid the thing; what poor soul would never emerge from it...

Kelahia. His lost child. So many emotions swept over the aging stallion he dropped down to the ground. It was true, he had never really believed the story- that she had betrayed her tribe. Murdered Lohané and joined the rogue faction that called themselves the "Shadows." But now... Knowing what had happened - what Kitana had done to Lohané - what had become of his firstborn? Had she suffered the same fate by the traitor's hands? The thought made his stomach twist into an icy knot. Three and a half years it had been since Lohané's death, and what had Holokai done in that time? What had he done for his daughter? He had been weak. Uncertain. He never even looked for her...

And then, for the first time since that day on the beach, tears fell from his eyes. They streamed down his cheeks and he just lay there and wept, cradling this strange large egg and mourning his friend, his child, and his own conviction.
