The last time the beast had been seen in the caves, he had been but a calf. A small, lanky thing slowly growing into his body, and into the connection solidly programmed into his mind, and then...he had slept. For a long time.

Too long.

The rainbow moonstone attached to the wall was massive. Glittering under the lights, facets of colors painted across its bright surface, stationed not far from the entrance to Eridanus. It had been there for a while, but now...something inside was coming alive again. A flip of the switch. Consciousness rushed in and returned.

And with that consciousness, came the Hive. He had not fallen asleep before the link had fully matured, merely soon after. They were far from him, most of them were, but he could feel them. And, eager to rejoin those that had become family entwinned in thought, he broke free from his cage.

The shattering sound echoed across the tunnels and the bison barreled his way forward from it, quickly regaining his footing as scatters of iridescent white gemstone scattered around the path he made. He cantered to the cross-way of the tunnel and stopped, swinging his head. He would go to them - to Ursa. He had wanted to go before, but Mother said he was too young.

Well...he was not young anymore.
