looking for heaven found the devil in me ; karsi/any

[Rodrik]

He offers her a gift she cannot resist. She is a fool to accept his offer, a dealing from the devil. There was no knowledge of what could happen from there. But, if you were wise enough, you knew better to take such an agreement from someone like Rodrik. He has always been selfish in nature and surely that would never change. The very actions and choices of his own were always for the higher good, the betterment for himself in the very end. The red stallion watches her carefully as she closes the space between him and her. He smiles softly when she accepts his offer. A fool is what he thinks of her now, and likely will always. Everyone is always so eager to taste the forbidden fruit. Rodrik has always know better than to do so; instead he offered such forbidden things to others. A demon never resorted to his own tricks—he was better than that. When Karsi moves to his side, he smiles at her with a smirk. His nutmeg gaze lights up with satisfaction. Rodrik is no newcomer to this game of seduction. He is no fool to what the intent is from another when they pour themselves out. Rodrik, however, has only come close to loving another. A love he wonders was perhaps even fathomable to happen between another and him. He lets the thought simply drop away and nips at her mane playfully. “I do hope you are, Kari,” he says playfully and makes his way towards Pangea. Their journey to Pangea is not easy. The field and Pangea are at opposite ends of Beqanna. There are mountains and water sources they must pass over. It was not an easy trail to follow, nor would the land be for the weaker hearted. Pangea—proud and resilient—was a place for the wicked who did not rest. But, in time and with Rodrik guiding, they have made it to the wasteland. Pangea borders along the west coast, close to the plains and the other land named Nerine, which lays north of them. Rodrik turns to peer at her when he comes to a halt, entering into the wasteland. “We are here.” he says with a large smirk. The smirk upon his face widens as he then turns away to peer at the wasteland spreading out before them.
