It’s been a few days but I finally got around to seeing the entire Azzimato territory. Aravali has showed me around each and every Region. My old herd’s territory was nothing compared to the vast lands of Azzimato. The herd itself had members more than I could count and the landscapes varied wide between the regions. We started visiting the Regions and their Guardians right after our meeting with Bulletproof. The first Guardian I met was Mr. Chips at the Umido Swamps and I had the hardest time not to laugh at his name. At first I thought Aravali was joking when he introduced the older stallion but it seemed to actually be his name. He also had an apprentice to take care of and I had thought we could be friends but I don’t think he liked me much. Bass Canon didn’t even stay long enough for me to introduce myself and took off in an irritated manner. Mr. Chips told me not to think too much of it. The swamps were great though. You could hardly see anything through the mist and it almost looked like a jungle with all the odd trees. Aravali did have to pull me back quickly when I nearly walked right into one of the many swamps. I hadn’t even seen it with all the layers of duckweed and lilies. After a few more brief conversations Aravali took me to the next Region which was the Territan Forest. The swamps merged very fluently into the forest so the borders weren’t very clear for me but apparently Mr. Chips and Dropkick knew very well. Dropkick was the Guardian of the Forest and I was surprised to learn he was only a few years older than Aravali. He was already a Senior Guardian and had a huge Region all to himself. He didn’t seem happy to meet me though or Aravali for that matter. After only a short time he told us he was busy and wanted us to leave. Aravali told me on the way back home that Dropkick was the son of Bulletproof. He didn’t get along with any of the Guardians he told me which made me wonder why he was one in the first place.

That was the last Region we visited that day. It was already evening when we returned to the Main Lands where we were greeted by Gold Dust and Love is a Gamble. They were both Juniors and the Main Lands were their Region. These were the first two Guardians who I actually got along with. Aravali eventually even left earlier to go and sleep whilst Gold Dust and Gamble took me along to show me the herd. When I mentioned I probably needed to go back and sleep they just laughed and told me I absolutely had to stay and this night would be my initiation. In the end we stayed up almost the entire night and I met a bunch of horses from the herd. Breaknoise also joined us and even though he seemed pretty cold at first he loosened up as the night went on. They told me stories of things that had happened to them at work and we laughed at silly things. It was all very new to me and I don’t know if I acted the way I should have but all I knew was that I had a great night. The next morning however was hell. With only two hours of sleep behind me Aravali dragged me along to the furthest Region of all. The Alto Mountains that were protected by Breaknoise. When we arrived Breaknoise and I both had to laugh quietly at the bags under our eyes both knowing how tired we were. I already told Aravali everything along the way so he chuckled as well. Breaknoise had already explained a lot about his Region the night before so we pretty much just walked around and I was awed by the view the mountains provided. When we got back to the Main Lands again Aravali knew I was too tired to track to another Region and we just stayed there. We came across Future Proof who Aravali told me was second in command. Already quite up there in age and towering above me with 18 hands I found myself to be quite impressed by him. He came over as a calm straight laced stallion who you didn’t want to anger. He’d already heard from Bulletproof about my arrival and didn’t quite seem to care for me other than that. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and Aravali explained a lot of things to me. He answered each and every of my questions patiently and started to ask me about my background as well. Even though it was a topic I didn’t really want to talk about I told him what happened in a nutshell. I left out a few parts but he seemed to understand my situation. In the evening we were joined by Sanchay who I hadn’t really talked to since my first night. Even though I had a good time talking to the both of them it appeared I had fallen asleep in the middle of a conversation they told me the next morning.

That morning the three of us walked to Sanchay’s Region he now worked alone. It was the Sabbia Dunes and it was a really nice place. On the way Sanchay joked about being angry he now had to work alone and that I stole his brother from him. I actually didn’t know he was joking so I got really embarrassed at first. They both burst out in loud laughter at my reaction and Aravali explained to me that he was only kidding. After staying in the Dunes for a while longer we made our way to the Marina Coast leaving Sanchay behind. This was managed by Ruckus who I hadn’t seen yet, not in the herd either. To me he seemed a bit off as he told us some more about his Region but Aravali didn’t seem to acknowledge anything different about him. Other than telling us about Guardian related business he showed no interest in striking up more conversation. Quick to take a hint Aravali told me it was time to go and we finally arrived at what would be our Region: The Shallow Lagoons. Adrenaline Rush used to work this place and he was still around to give us some pointers. It was clear to see this was the easiest Region to work. It was the smallest of all Regions and very easy to overlook. There were no natural threats here and no predatory species to watch out for. The main thing to do here was watch over the foals who came here to play. They weren’t allowed to cross over the boundaries and there was a lagoon or two deep enough to drown in so we had to keep an eye on those as well. Other than that it was a place that was sometimes used by outsiders to cross over into Azzimato territory so we had to identify our visitors before letting them pass. I realized that this might be a bore to Aravali but for me it was the biggest responsibility I ever had. Adrenaline Rush was assigned to work on the same Region as Ruckus and he soon left us to our own. And from then on Aravali started to train me. His main focus was to build some muscle and to improve my stamina drastically. After this he told me he would teach me fighting techniques which I was really excited about.

“What’s this, I actually managed to make you tired?” Aravali said with a chuckle, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts. I was lying on my back near a small pond. It had been a long day of training and to be honest I was exhausted. The last rays of the sun were keeping the land warm and had made me even drowsier. I blinked a few times staring up at Aravali’s face still kind of out of it. He grinned down on me, “I suppose I have been a bit hard on you these past few days.” He laid down beside me and stretched out his legs. Even though he was supposed to be only training me he’d joined me in every exercise he gave me. Of course he had a lot less trouble doing them than me though. I yawned and rolled on my side so that I was facing him. “Yes way too hard”, I whined in a joking manner. “Really? Well maybe I should give you kiddie exercises then?” he said in a composed manner. I jerked my head up and looked at him in shock. “No! No I can handle it I’m not a kid”, I protested scared that he might actually do it. He arched an eyebrow at me and started to chuckle. “I’m kidding I’m kidding”, he grinned and looked up at the sky, “You’re just so easy to tease.”

Finally a new part But it's not even that interesting xD It's pretty much a summary of how Woo Boost meets all the other Guardians and tell you their Regions and show a tiny little sneek peek of their personalities and such. I tried to make it somewhat interesting and I put some work into the drawing as well c: The next part will ne a nornal story again not a looking back on such a long time.

I'm thinking of making this huge information sheet about the Azzimato Guaridans. Introducing all the Guardians with a headshot, their ranking and a small screenshot of their Region. It would be a lot of work but I think it'd be kinda cool so maybe I'll give it a shot

Anywho enjoy the story and art! The drawing was a lot of fun, though Woo's pose was a pain
