Oooo girl, now that’s just what I like to hear. It was so easy, too easy, to win her over. Her enthusiasm was instant, the quick brightness to her eyes as she quickly signs on the dotted line… Signs her soul to the devil. She is touching him, velvet caresses to his scarred shoulder, dust falling as she pulls away. He doesn’t respond even as she pleads for him to break her. There’s no need to answer when it’s already a given. I’ll do anything, whatever the cost. And with those words, she is his. ”Follow me then. And don’t forget, you must do whatever I ask or else Crow will come.” He demands and turns away from her, his body becoming ghostly once more as he leaves the brightness of the meadow and forges into the shadows. He isn’t worried at all about this Crow fellow. He’s the opposite of worried, he’s almost gleeful. Even though Reuen had slipped through his fingers, one wretched broken mare was as good as another. Besides, he hadn’t given up on that one yet. Not once does he stop to check on if she’s following, he knows she is. The soft sound of her hooves on the damp dirt of the road catch in the air when he flicks his ears back. The promise he has made is too enticing for her to resist. It’s amazing what just one little glimmer of hope can do. The greatest bait one can offer to catch the fattest of fish. Every once and a while he pauses, considering his route. It has been awhile since he had taken this path and the way comes back in snatches. A familiar rock, tree, canyon guiding his way back home. He can smell the Chamber, he can feel it’s coldness reaching out. It’s tendrils wraith like as it curls around the soggen strands of his disheveled mane, how I missed thee old friend. While most sought out the Chamber’s heat, he stuck to it’s colder regions. The ones always covered in darkness. His hooves pick out the path with more eagerness, his pace quickening as he crosses the border and finds himself back in the Chamber once more. A piercing whistle is let loose, his eyes blazing like a furnace the moment he has stepped into the kingdom. Those red eyes probe the depths and darkness around him… Knowing they are waiting. ”Don’t be shy…” He hisses, the corners of his mouth smirking as he comes to a standstill and awaits Aoki to join his side. Once she is close enough, he gestures for her to move forward and places his teeth to her flank in a sharp nip to quicken her pace. ”I’ve brought home a present to play with.” So sorry children for being gone for so long, Daddy’s back now. *********the big bad wolf |
