Two days ago...not far from here...he'd probably be able to see it from the air... He bowed his head to the merchant in gratitude. "Just the direction in which I might find this underground entrance. Thank you, Badr Basim." His heart was hammering in his chest, pounding away at his ribs, and he felt a sense of electricity jet along his muscles. So close. So soon. He turned towards Sooraya and Nahusha and bowed again, more formally this time. "Thank you, Princess Sooraya, for your help. I must leave now, if I am to find my kinsman soon. I hope I may return someday, but until then, farewell." To Nahusha, he said, "I will need my sword back, then I will be gone." He didn't want to leave, but he needed to find Skyquake--or whoever that stallion was, it might not be his brother, it probably wasn't his brother. Skyquake was dead. He could feel it in his aching, hammering heart.
But he had hope now, and hope was a dangerous thing. He would be disappointed soon, he knew, but until then, hope was giving him new energy. The energy needed to be dispelled, and a long, hard flight after whoever that was by the river would dispel it well.

Badr gave a nod, "underground waterways are tricky to spot they are concealed well" he paused glancing at the sun "follow the setting sun west." He told the stallion, "Farewell, I have goods to distribute to the rest of the herd" and with that gave the party a low formal bow vanishing beneath the waves to retrieve his hidden goods. He did wish the grey stallion well hopefully he wouldn't be too disappointed if this wasn't the wrong stallion.
Nahusha watched as his father left, thankfully, without any flamboyant or quirky parting comments. he almost breathed a sigh of relief, he listened quietly to the great solara speak to the princess, casually enough it hurt his pride. He wished she would talk to him more often, then again he was never brave enough when others were around... thanks to a certain someone he looked like.
Really he'd hope to return? The stallion secretly hoped it wouldn't be anytime soon, though he didn't let his thoughts show on his face. Nahusha stood there nobly, "I have the duty to the princess and must accompany the princess back to her family unharmed." where she will be protected by her father, brother, and the rest of her uncles he added quietly in his head. He wasn't allowed inside that area at all, but that was normal. Mares were always separate from the stallions.
Nahusha turned to dread "Two guard will lead you out of the oasis to retrieve your sword." he assured the great stallion. Nahusha let out a call for the other starborn guards to come, and come they did. "Go with them." he said as he and the princess headed further back in the oasis.
Seeing the trader leave and Dreadwing faced her, she smiled widely you could almost see it on her veiled face. "You are most welcome," She gave him formally a little nod of her head.
"I wish you a safe Journey I will pray to Ala for your good fortune and this ti be the kin you seek." she said formally though she was sad to see him go, she couldn't say that, not really, she'd get yelled at certainly. Though she did secretly hope he would return soon, and if he did she too hoped he would teach her more about the sword, and talk with her about his warrior stories. He must have many certainly.
Unfortunately though Nahusha was correct she could not be there to see him off. It was regrettable, she hated life as a mare here more than anything. She bid him farewell and began toward home, the place reserved for the royals only.
 Far out in the distance so far in fact one might not see a gray solara shooting through the sky, bright red webbed wings outstretched covered in impressive armor similar to the solara among the stars below. The color of the armor being bright red, white and blue.
