Light traveled quickly, skimming over the many miles between Obscene’s flower court and Cheri’s midwest Kingdom faster than a gallop. Perched high above the smoothly-winding canyons, her green hair tangling in the wind, Cheri saw the bright little form darting over the flatlands and she flicked her ears toward it curiously, wondering what Obscene’s emissary could be doing so far from his dark Lord and home. She was lucky enough to have her curiosity quickly satisfied; the glowing fairy orb disappeared beyond her line of sight, reappearing after a beat or two at the top of the canyon ridge where she kept vigil, and then flew at her head.
It wasted no time in crowding her face, bumping itself rudely against her nose and eyes with a frantic sort of energy that she immediately interpreted. Obscene, she worried - glancing at the loyal companion without its master and feeling a sense of dread at the black stallion’s absence. Light only had to swing back and forth once for Cheri to pivot and flare her wings, ready to fly with him back to the Pampas where Ob was certainly waiting for her, but she paused at the last moment - right as her hooves were nearing the opposite edge - and skidded back to a stop.
Flying would take too long, She snorted, snapping her teeth and tossing her head with the motion of her pacing legs, Faster - I have to be faster. Instantaneous. Cheri huffed.
She paused and exhaled, closing her eyes against the glare of Light’s beam so close to her face, and thought about where she wanted to be right at this very moment. Just like that, Cheri teleported herself and The Prince’s fairy straight to the Pampas - right to the spot nearest him, beside the scaled beast with his fangs bared.
Her eyes opened to a horrid scene. Gale - though she did not place him at first - mutated and freakish, sucking the very essence of life from a victim. Darkness purveyed his intent; it hovered near him, crackled over his skin like an aura of potent death, and stole the very air from Cheri’s lungs when she made herself suck in a breath. Her body was aglow with pale light, a shimmering cover that tightened itself to the shape of her form as she watched him devour soulflesh. Shock (utter, incomprehensible surprise) rooted her to the earth.
Cheri had taken a bit of Loess with her when she’d traveled, (somewhere in the red-rock hills there was a large patch of wildflowers to replace what she’d borrowed) but her focus couldn’t be swayed by a bit of misplaced earth or her second successful teleport: she couldn’t rip her eyes off Gale. They were pulsing, green with wild energy, and at the sight of him warping Tantalize’s soul for his own gain something inside of her clicked.
Wordlessly, Cheri took a leading step toward the monster and leaned into the forelimb, bracing herself against the lightbeam that tore free from her eyes and made to strike the killer.
