For many hours the sable steed withstood the drizzle, the chilling air, and now the darkness. While the child went in and out of slumber, Ebony Knight remained faithful to the duty he was given. Since he was a yearling, the black stallion had been trained for this task. From another world he carried the child in a sling around his muscled arch and walked many miles through this world to the very spot he now stood. He had not slept for three days, and eaten very little. Every thought, every emotion, all his being was focused on the care of the child. The infant was the light star. The child of light and prophecy: Roshaun.

'The heir of Darkness shall take the untouched Light as his bride.
From the Light and Dark came two stars.
One light. One dark.
The heir of darkness swallowed the Light star and lifted the Dark one high into the sky.'

He suddenly sensed the approach of a creature of two legs. Though the cold night air was numbing, her presence was felt and known, striking fire in his veins. Before she began to approach, his skull had snapped in her direction. The dark depths of his soul were locked upon her.

It was a strange, unsteady moment for the steed. His instructions were to go with the first human to come forth in attempt to care for the infant. Yet he sensed no life in this one. Could she really be the one, or perhaps a bondservant of the Dark Master, who sought the child's death? His mind raced at alarming speed. Did not his teacher, Fire Cry, prepare him for such a moment? Yes, of course he did. It was then the stallion ignore all five of his senses and sought the greatest one of all. Minutes passed slowly...

Suddenly he awakened, his senses alert once more. She meant no harm, he knew this now. Alive or not, he was just going to have to try. Ebony Knight removed himself from his position over the now wailing infant. His neck arch, blackened skull lowering to his breast, in a sort of bow. She could come closer, but his eyes never left her. If the maiden made one wrong move, he would be forced to strike against her as he was trained to.
