oh, i fall apart. - ghaul - 05-06-2020 GHAUL
i can take you there, but baby, you won't make it back
He waits until it is dark. The cold air is crisp as it draws into his lungs and he exhales in a short chittering to his brother. Draco had cackled delightedly when Ghaul commented that Lilliana must be so lonely without another captive to keep her company. Perhaps adding another would give her an excuse to escape the brood and their incessant stream of questions for her. At the very least, having a friend with her would make fighting off the hatchlings once they start teething. He spreads his wings and leaps from the cliff on which they stand. The warm desert air currents lift him easily with each flap until the world disappears in the clouds beneath him. His talons are tucked close to his chest as he soars toward the north. The night is still young when he lands on the border of Taiga. Ghaul does not care for landing among their trees, and so he crosses into their home on foot. The first one he stumbles upon is entirely foreign to him, but it makes no difference. Any Taigan will do, in his opinion. He spreads his wings once more and prepares to lunge for her. Maybe Izora Lethia is small enough that he can simply pluck her from these forests and haul for her off to the Cove. Gospel may not like having a surprise visitor, but he hopes she will find it in her cold heart to forgive him.

The future of Taiga was balancing on a thin line. She and Lilliana had made plans, but Lethy of all people knew that plans could change quickly. These were the things that kept her mind from sleeping silently in the middle of the night, though Owin’s presence was always a better source of peace than her own magic that was always wrapped tightly around her when she needed it most. Her son had stood by her side unmoved since Aten’s disappearance, one Lethy was sure was not his own doing. This night was particularly calm, all considering, and while Lethy closed her eyes restlessly Owin stood not far, alert and watchful - eyes and mind. The sun had set and the forest had grown dark, Owin welcomed his infrared vision as easily as he picked through the wayward minds that found comfort beneath the Taigan canopy. It did not take him long to sense the stranger mind as he crossed the Taiga border and he was quicker still to see the form descend from the sky and land. His heart felt as if it was about to rip from his chest the minute he realized the horse before them lunging once more, was lunging towards his mother. With all he had he sprinted across the opening towards his dam, forcing as much air into his lungs as he could before shouting to her, ”Mother, run or fight!” Lethy’s mind was quick to pull away from its hazy entrance to peaceful sleep, the piercing sound of her son’s voice breaking every ounce of magic that cradled her. Her piercing amethyst eyes shot open, as her ears pinned closely to her head. Teeth barred at whatever predator may be coming for her. Fight was all that rang through her head. She had done enough running in her life, she had stayed with Taiga for many years and she was not about to go willingly now. Coward hissed through her clenched jaw, pulling the ugly scar across her face tightly, the moon throwing gruesome shadows across her face.

He is within the 72 hours allotted, and per the rules, a member can attempt to block when the leader is being stolen... And enough posts have been squeaked out before the 72 hours to count as active here. If he can help block, awesome. If not, oh well - I'd rather have tried and fail than not try and missed an opportunity to help -shrugs- RE: oh, i fall apart. - Kyra - 05-08-2020 This steal stands, but with a few notes based on the updated rules. 1. It should stay open for 72 hours or until a 3rd horse has a chance to block. The reply to the judging thread will be deleted, so please repost when ready. 2. Please edit your posts to include proof of your character's active status. DM me with any questions. RE: oh, i fall apart. - Popinjay - 05-08-2020 She was not quite what you would call refined. --------- Poppy is here to inform Ghaul that Lethy is not a sheep, but there's plenty of deer if he would like to go hunting with her. proof of activity: 3 posts in Taiga in the last 30 days RE: oh, i fall apart. - Nashua - 05-08-2020 Celina had planted in his head that really, the best way to learn how to fly with a little.. additional altitude. The fallen log he had been leaping off has lost its appeal as he’s gotten bigger and his legs have gotten longer. (Nash had been eyeing the cliffs that edge towards Nerine but there had been something of a warning in her glance when he had asked about it.) So without cliffs and feeling limited with his logs, he grins wildly at Popinjay when she returns his idea with a smile that is madcap and full of gales. Up and up they go, Nashua tucked neatly in her talons and the yearling things this has been the grandest adventure he’s taken so far. The view - coming starlight, the shadowed trees as they grow smaller - is certainly the best he’s seen. Nash is so enthralled with it that he doesn’t expect the plummet that comes swift and sure (he’ll fly like this someday, he’ll cut the air too). Where they had once climbed higher and higher, the fall even faster and Nashua feels his ears flick back and every muscle comes alive with anticipation. This is it. Popinjay drops him as easily as she flits around Taiga. His neck arches and when he remembers to spread his wings, there is a pleasant gust of air that meets him. The ground is still coming fast but he can control the speed. It’s the control that he mistakes and what was a glide moments before quickly resumes into what the bay mare had probably intended: disaster. Nashua crashes into a snowbank. It somewhat muffles his fall and when he raises his copper head to blink, his green eyes follow Popinjay as she laughs and dances into a crowd. The pegasus knows some - there is Lethy and her son, ‘Rocky’ and the chaos-chaser herself in the middle of the crowd. His shoulder hurts but he moves forward, glancing between the crowd. It’s the stallion that Popinjay grins at that catches his attention. Nashua has certainly never seen a horse like that before and even for all his imaginings, Ghaul is not something his mind can conjure. His auburn wings settle against his slim sides. He takes a few steps forward, hesitating behind Popinjay but pricks his ears ahead. There is tension in the air - but how can he focus on that when there is a stallion like that in front of him? His mind can’t make up what Ghaul is and his eyes can’t seem to take him enough. Nash looks up, tilting his head curiously to one side. The boy grins as he stops behind Poppy.
