It was an hour before Dhattar reached his father's cave. His mind was racing over and over again on the Palomino's words. What happens if they don't believe me? Dhattar thought, they have to believe me! How could they not when I'm covered in blood! Hearing hooves trotting out of the cave, Dhattar tried to straighten and look proper, but it didn't help much.

"Well I thought we could assign Perrin to mentor Kaie." Jan told Aiony, turning to a walk. Aiony eyes shone her agreement but said,

"As much as I agree with you, we should consult Dhattar first." And with that moment see caught a glimpse of something white out of the corner of her eye. "Dhattar!" she shrieked.

Jan turned to see what caused his daughters horror and found his son dripping with blood.

Leaving his daughters side, Jan demanded what happened. Dhattar explained it all to them. Aiony's face arranged to a frightened look, while Jan's grew with fury.

"I knew this would happen!" Jan said, turning his old eyes to the ground. Fury seemed to swallow him, making him almost frightful.

"What do you mean this would happen?" Aiony hesitated to ask. Slowly lifting his gaze, Jan took a deep breath and told his story.

"When I was a only a two years old, a group of unknown unicorns came to the Vale. They wanted to join with us and become Vale dwellers, but Korr wanted nothing of it. He thought of it as though destroying his pure blooded unicorns because they were of a different herd. My mother begged and pleaded for him to change his mind, seeing that they were dying of hunger.

'If they are so hungry let them find food with mixed blooded unicorns, not with superior unicorns with the likes of us!' spat Korr, and with that he ordered those unicorns from the land." Jan sighed. "The Unicorns went with great bitterness saying they will be back with revenge, and they did. They must have found a strong herd to take them in. We fought many battles and great unicorns were lost to us. Although we lost greater numbers of unicorns, the opposite side surrendered. Korr didn't even acknowledge the fact that there very few of us left. All he knew was that he won the war."

Dhattar looked at Aiony then said to his father, "Do you know why they surrendered?"

"No." replied Jan "But I think they have came back to fish this war and if they are were going to start the fist battle!"
