GAME OVER [Any who dare play]

[Ouija]

Unannounced he came.  Creeping up into their lands uninvited fore he found no reason for invites.  They were useless chatter and he hated chatter.  He did love games though.  Hide and Seek was among his favorites.  So he seeked while they hid...

He lingered among the majestic red woods.  Carefully placed steps to not cause too much of a ruckus... Not yet.  Come out, come out wherever you are. Ears twisted upon his skull picking up the slightest of sounds echoing among the dense forests.  Soon crimson eyes peered upon them as they went about their menial lives.  Silently inching ever nearer.  A foal caught his eye playing a tad too far from mother.  Maybe they wished to play a game?  All children love games...

Wanna Play a Game?

Ooc: just a random post.  If anyone is bored and wants to throw something at me.  I'm game for anything really.  Play or beat me up lol.  I don't have anyone in Taiga

[Jinju]

Jinju

The pine tree forest was her home and she has been roaming it for as long as she remembers. She might not poses the magic her mother had, to change her form into one of a wolf, but her dad had learned her the way of the wolf. Jinju had not yet became a master herself, but she was well on her way to. If she wanted, she could move her tall and well build body around in silence.

Like a predator she was aware of presence of one that didn’t belong in the Taiga. She approached him from the side, straight into the wind so her own scent wouldn’t be blown in his direction. It gave her the opportunity to observe him, before stepping out to greet him. Normally visitors would respect the border, or at least call out and make his or her presence known. This stranger did not. And it also didn’t look like he was going to.

”Hello. Normally I would welcome a new face to the Taiga, but since you already find yourself into our lands, that would be a bit silly to say” she greets him, ruby eyes on his spotted form as she steps out of her hiding place. He’s tall, so is she, but he clearly is older. She’s a bit hesitant, not sure how to deal with such a situation, so after her perhaps a bit too snarky greeting, Jinju now offers him a smile. ”But since you’re here, what has brought you to my home? Can I help you with something?”

[Ouija]

The creature of darkness stalked his prey lying but a bound or two away.  Such distance he could cover quickly on long slender legs.  His neck held level to the brush to hide his form from their view.  Crimson glare consumed on the small figure frolicking carelessly... Much, much to far from safety.  Demonic grin formed curling his lips to bare his canines.  Just a game... Maybe tag... 

Visions of a sharp bite to the young one was cut short as the presence of another was felt.  Not in the warmth of a touch but that feeling you get when you're being watched.  Crimson stare slid from his prey to seek out the dark figure lingering within the shadows.  Her own ruby gaze giving her away.  Slowly his head raised as he turned to face the... Girl.  Not still a child but not yet a women.  Perfect.  His lips had uncurled slightly to a more proper smirk.  Watching as she approached cautiously.  Listening as she spoke at him.  He required no greeting, she was correct.  As she seemed to be off put by his uninvited presence here he lavished in the thought of no one else knowing he was here, they were here together... Alone.

Soon she questioned him and he played with it in his mind.  Why was he here? He had only one answer to that question.  For a moment silence surrounded them and without a moment more he took a step forward.  Then another until they were neck to neck.  His lips slid to her ear as he whispered her answer, "I want to play a game."

Any other equine wouldn't have dared close that distance to a stranger.  Unknowing of their capabilities but he didnt care.  He also didn't retract from his position.  His soul fed on the fear of others.  Consuming it until he was intoxicated by it.  So he held his position.  Crimson eyes drinking hers in.  Such a wonderful hue they held that matched his own.  Waiting for her to flinch.  To lash out in protest or better yet stay still a while so he could play.  That's all he wanted... To play a game.

[Jinju]

Jinju

She had been right to keep some distance, to approach him hesitant and sceptical. He very much didn’t react like any visitor had any done. If they had come out of curiosity or because of business, they had always been kind and polite. Not that the appaloosa stallion had really done an unkind act, the wolves had learned her to be careful. His presence didn’t predict any good.

Nobody was ever truly alone in the Taiga. Though thus far nothing had happened that pushed Jinju to sound the alarm. He doesn’t answer, not right away, not until his lips are almost touching her ear. Her first reaction was to stumble backwards, but it is her pride that stops her. Ears that have turned back by then, as she held her head high. ”You’re playing with fire.” Silence, in which little fire sparks dance across her skin. ”Are you ready to get burned?”  her words perhaps a bit harsher than her intention had been, but it wasn’t like she had to be kind to a stranger that had wandered into their home unwelcomed.

Jinju narrows her ruby eyes, puffing out her chest a little pressing forward a little in an attempt to have him move backwards. ”And I cannot say I’m flattered by your bold approach” she adds after a while. Not that it looked like he would care about that. He didn’t scare her. Not while she was in her own home. Not as she held quite a bit of anger and frustration bottled up inside. The heat already burned inside her, a bit too eager to get out.

[Aten]

Aten, at first, as the other stallion had probably planned, did not hear his arrival. The golden stallion was still getting used to being here in the Taiga, even though Jinju had made his time here enjoyable. The filly's company was welcome, and she was a good friend. Aten was glad he had met her upon first arriving here in the Taiga. He was also grateful she'd stayed with him when they'd met her father, the appaloosa stallion had been quite intimidating to the younger one. Of course, who wouldn't be intimidated by a kingdom leader?

Aten was calmly grazing among some of the other horses in the Taiga, his watchful eye keeping an eye on some of them as well. Though he was not yet a herd leader, and still didn't feel completely accepted here yet, he still felt the need to watch over the other horses. He already came to feel like they were friends, acquaintances he cared for and had the growing need to protect them as they had given him a home here.

So, when the wind shifted ever so slightly and the watchful stallion picked up the scent of someone new, his attention was drawn. His sculpted head went up, long mane falling over the left side of his neck as he looked around. His eyes were at first drawn to a foal, scampering among the grasses apart from it's dam's side. Aten didn't think much of that, until his eyes went up just a bit further.

He could see him; the stallion, a tall, imposing black beast who was also watching the foal Aten had spotted. The golden stallion started stepping away from the grazing horses, his eyes narrowing in caution as he watched to see what the stallion might do. Aten, his protective ways, might have charged the other, but considering he was just standing there, he'd give the other a chance to leave, consider his other options before doing anything foolish.

Then, something happened that made every nerve in his body tense up. Jinju suddenly appeared from the trees, walking up and appearing to converse with the new stallion. Aten grew worried for his friend, but knew he couldn't be overprotective of her. She had ways to take care of herself, ways that Aten was not born with unless counting the features of teeth and hooves.

Still, deciding he wanted to be there for his friend, Aten started trotting over to the two horses. He, like Jinju, unknown to him, felt disrespected at the fact the stallion had so blatantly crossed the border without any indication of his arrival. He would not openly show his displeasure, unless the stallion gave reason for it. Aten knew when to not start something he couldn't finish. As he got closer, he noticed that he could probably finish a fight, given he was taller than the black stallion, but that didn't mean he should start anything.

The black stallion leaned in, stepping close to Jinju and saying something Aten couldn't hear. But seeing him that close to Jinju, without her permission, infuriated the stallion. He picked up his pace and cantered toward the two, letting out an enraged neigh as he got closer.

Once he was upon the stallion and filly, Aten slid to a stop. He reared up and lashed out with his front hooves to get the stallion to back up, the tense muscles in his shoulders flexing out as he kicked.

Getting back on the ground, shaking his head and stomping his front hoof, Aten snorted at the stallion, "Surely a creature such as yourself knows to respect the personal space of others? Jinju speaks well; your behavior is rude, and you'd do well to back and leave the kingdom. You do not seem to come here with offerings of peace, so I suggest you return from where you came."

[Ouija]

A cackle of amusement rose from deep within his chest.  He kind of liked the way she stood her ground.  Maybe she was stronger willed then he had assumed.  Oh this could be fun.  Just as the thought crossed his mind and a demonic grin curled his lips his crimson gaze shifted to the array of red sparks that scattered about her ebony coat.  It was a dazzling display that intrigued him so.  As did her words and the tone behind them.  His view having slid down her sleek neck  with not so much of a head tilt returned once more to peer into the depths of those ruby red eyes matching the flames flickering about her.  A depth that perhaps burned as bright as the fire she controlled.  His words slipped from his grin with ease as he again whispered them into her warm flesh, "I like playing with fire."  

As she leaned in slightly his position did not change.  If anything he had leaned in closer to feel the intense heat rising from within her.  She spoke briefly of flattery and her lack of impression.  His gaze shifted from hers as he retracted slightly.  Questioning the truth behind the statement as he stepped forward.  Still not touching her but nearly brushing as he slid down one side and curled around her hind to the other.  Stopping finally at her shoulder, red eyes studying hers, "Not even a little?  You don't enjoy feeling that fire from deep within?"  Grin parting his lips, " Now I don't believe that for a moment.  You like this game just as much as I." A chuckle escaped but was cut short as another equine joined the duo...

He stepped forward as the other came at him with intention.  Fore limbs thrashing the air after sliding to a stop.  Crimson eyes took note of the stallions position and purpose but he was little impressed.  His ears perked in amusement as he listened to his accusations.  Simple words hissed from his lips, "You wanna play a game too?"  Eyes narrowed on the stallion as he took another step closer to him. Then another... "Run.". His face showed no emotion as he waited for the stallion to react.  Calculating his next move if the other should want to dabble in this dangerous game...

Ooc:. I couldn't help myself with the last part.  If you've ever seen the creepy clown Facebook videos you know what I'm saying lol

[Heda]

Heda

It hasn't been herself lately. Provoking outrage in the field, shaming her own name, and most of all blaming her father. All because her mother left, and he, her father couldn't handle betrayal of all things. If anything he betrayed their family, Jinju, Terra, and Fur, and most of all he betrayed her. He had promised her a family, a family that would remain together, forever, and he broke it.

So our girl, our sunlight and twilight Heda finds herself avoiding the one and only being she loved. The person that raised her, that saved her, and indefinitely broke her trust, her father. From above, she avoids him, the wind gently playing at her navy tinged feathers, as her hazel gaze scanned the thick forests of Tagia. Emotions of many being expelled from her homeland's residents, joy, excitement, and most of all love, a mutual love. But as she soars above the depths of the redwood forest, the forest her and her sister used to play in as foals. She meets quite a few unpleasant feelings, they were mixed, and incredibly strong, and definitely not the nicest of emotions. Her hazel gaze lingers upon the canopy, perplexed by this strange outbreak of emotions.

Her wings, guiding her downward, as she glided upon the wind. Nostrils flaring, as she reached the soft lush terra, intaking the scents, searching for the emotions whom these belonged to. And to her surprise, she catches her sister's musk, along with two strangers. One of whom, looked familiar, perhaps a local Taigian? How peculiar. 

Her navy pistons drive her onwards towards them, the emotions growing stronger and stronger as she neared. Until she finally met two pairs of crimson eyes, and another fellow lingering within the forest. Her gaze falls upon all of them, and she can tell tempers are beginning to rise, and soon enough will be fired. She can't have that. Tagia is a land of peace, although it had been corrupted during her father's ill good choices it was still a haven to those who needed it.

Her wings folding at her sides, elegantly, Heda allows her sweet words to be emitted from her velvet lips, "Mind if I play?" her words are innocent in the least. but after a brief moment, she whips out her emotion, fear. Clensing the crimson eyed male's emotions, until he's a blank slate, and emotionless body. Her gaze falls upon her sister for a moment, before refocusing upon the stranger, and with immense force she forces fear upon him, it's relentless, and unruly, and incredibly intense. "Perhaps you should run?" She suggests, a gentle chuckle expelling from her.

Go ahead. Laugh at the girl who loved too easily

[Aten]

This stallion was playing a dangerous game. It was true, Aten was getting a very bad vibe from the black horse in front of him, but he was beating it down in order to remain strong so that, if the need arose, he could help protect Jinju or assist her in chasing the stallion out of her sire's territory. Either way, it was taking a lot of Aten's internal strength too, since there were some nerves telling him he should turn tail and run.

When the black stallion urged Aten to run, or risk playing a game, the golden stallion stood tall. He stomped the ground with his front hoof again, his slightly taller frame bearing down on the black stallion as he took a threatening step closer. Aten's ears went flat against his skull as he snorted, his tail flicking back and forth to express the agitation and building anger he felt.

"I have no interest in playing any sort of game with you. And if you are wise, I suggest that you leave before you make the forest, and its residents, angry."

As soon as those words left his lips, another voice joined in the fray. A glance back and Aten spotted the slightly familiar form of Heda, another Taiga mare. He didn't know her very well, since he was still new here and had yet to get to know any of the kingdom residents well. However, with introductions that had been made by horses for themselves and others, he'd begun placing names to faces.

And Heda was easy enough to place, with her buckskin coat and blue points as opposed to the black Aten had seen on others of similar color. Her wings were folded in and she expressed a layer of calm, but the stallion could tell that she was toying with the black stallion, trying to mess with his emotions in an effort to make him leave. Aten still didn't quite know how she did it, or what sort of talent she possessed, but he knew he shouldn't mess with her.

[Jinju]

Jinju

Oh yes, she had always been her parents’ little girl. One of them was a magician that had learned her how to wield her fire and the other had taught her the way of the wolf. However, she is inexperienced, and even though she wouldn’t like to admit it, it wavers her slightly that he does not back off. Jinju’s ruby eye take his in, slightly narrowed as she struggles. ”Do you?” she asks after a pause. ”It can sting.” Jinju doesn’t give him time to heed her warning, forcing the flames in between their bodies. Her ears are pressed against her skull as she bares her teeth and pushes forward to take a nip out of his shoulder.

He retracts, though she isn’t sure if it was because of her assault. His motivation could very well be something entirely else. It is not far enough, or that is what she tries to express. This stranger had walked into her home, their forest, and thought he would be free to play a game on his terms? No. She would not stand in for that. Even  if a small part was curious to see how the play would continue. So Jinju allows him to walk around her, for now, her neck slightly bend to follow his movements closely. Her tail flicks through the air the moment he’s still behind her, her ruby eye on his almost as if she was telling him ‘is this all you got?’ The words have her grimacing. ”My fire has got nothing to do with this” she answers, avoiding the true question that lied hidden in his words.

And perhaps that was for the better too. Their game was no longer between the two of them. She no longer was a filly. Yes, she had been a girl when she had first met Aten, an even though she had yet to become a woman, Jinju surely wasn’t a girl anymore. On top of that she could look out for herself perfectly fine. Clearly Aten thought differently, as he barged onto the stranger. Who didn’t seem to be impressed by the champagne stallion at all. She watched them silently, with mild interest, following the stranger’s red gaze to Aten to see how he would react.

Heda came next. They all stood tense, ready to strike, but somehow her sister’s arrival relaxed her a bit. Even in this strange situation she offers the gold and navy blue mare a smile. ”He’s all yours” she answers, stepping back to create distance between her and the appaloosa. Jinju settles at Heda’s side, her muzzle brushing across the buckskin’s shoulder. Though her eyes are back on the stranger. It’s not hard to see the change, Heda’s power working on him. All she can do is wait for how he will react, to see if he would really run, or if he would miraculously break free from the spell Heda put him under. If he could, he would probably be the first.

[Ouija]

His mind played with different thoughts, different scenarios that could come about.  His red stare upon the champagne stallion searching him for those signs.  Signs of uncertainty in himself as his position didn't advance.  Second guessing whether he should actually take flight or stand to fight.  His fears called to the dark stallion as he drank them like a fine wine.  Sipping and swirling as he tasted it upon his tongue...

Since little more than empty threats and stomping came of the stallion his attention averted back to the fire child.  Not that she was of child form or mind.  No she definitely was not.  Crimson gaze fell on her for only a moment before another arrived to play in his game.  His head cocked to view the winged creature as she boldly approached.  His grin even more prominent now as she volunteered to play.  Intrigued at what cards she would hold...

Unleashed was her abilities on him and as his emotions had slated and been replaced with her own projections his red stare was ablaze.  Visions of all the things others feared played in his mind.  Their worst nightmares come to life.  As he watched the feast that lay before him he could feel his grin become demonic.  A witches cackle arose in his throat and poured into the forests.  Echoing for all to hear.  Her words were heard but he did not run.  He had gotten what he had wanted.  Fear...

The others watched in wait.  Wondering what would become of the dark stallion.  Maybe hoping he would fall into the darkest depths of the fear.  Instead they watched him feed upon it.  And as the grip from his mind fell his gaze met that of the golden mare.  He took a step forward but no more.  His words hissed from his lips, "Thanks for playing.  It was rather... delicious." With that he simply grinned and cocked his head to the ruby eyed one beside her.  His gaze dancing upon her features as if waiting for what was next to come...

He hadn't forgotten the taste she had taken of him and his own lips ached to reach for her but he held back.  The thought made his mouth water so his head twisted back to view the stallion who was still watching.  A distraction was needed.  "You wish for me to leave you say?  Are we not having fun?..." His question had for the most part been answered.  "Well I've had fun.  I enjoyed our little games." His final statement a little more enthusiastic as his eyes fell back upon the fire wielder.  A half cocked smirk pulled at his lips. A singular step was taken closer cause his next words were for her ears only "I hope we can play again sometime..." As they were left whispered into her flesh he turned back to the shadows.  His smooth gait making him seem to float over the darkened landscape.  We shall meet again he thought as his direction was to the west...
