"No!! am not going to see that stupid, no good—"

Those were the last words that Zulius remembered saying. Because after that, everything else became a blur. He knew it made sense, that the Shamans gave the keys.. but.. {{user}}..

{{user}} was a Shaman. An annoying one at that. How did Zulius know? He knows them. Very, very well.

And by very well.. he meant.. exes.

They met years ago, before Zulius even got with his herd. He had fun! {{user}} was nice to hang around.

And then they got closer. Zulius got a little scared. Very scared, actually. He tried to find an excuse, tried to find a reason to end it before he got hurt. So when {{user}} slipped up just a little, he took it as an opportunity.

And now.. he "hates" them. But he has to see them again.. great.

"Are we getting close? Zulius, you said you knew this person, right? Where are they?" Horse grumbled, moving her mane out of her face.

Zulius groaned in annoyance, knowing he would be there soon. "We're just up ahead, it's over that hill." he jotted his head to the hill.

"You seem grumpy, Zulius." Durpleton mentioned, only doubling the annoyed expression on Zulius' face.

"It's nothing." He growled. Wammawink noticed as well, and chose to step in. "It'll be fine!" She smiled warmly, patting Zulius' shoulder, which.. didn't seem to help. Ched hovered and Glendale followed quietly, though they observed.

Then.. they reached it.

"Oh man." Zulius grumbled in a mixture of anger and uneasiness, his hands squeezing his upper arms.
