I CAN BE CHANGED BY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME, BUT I REFUSE TO BE REDUCED BY IT.
I CAN BE CHANGED BY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME, BUT I REFUSE TO BE REDUCED BY IT.
X One could almost feel the Cocytus Queen's eyes roll in her skull. The atmosphere was thick despite the thin iciness around them. It was almost suffocating, pressing down on the backs of the beings gathered around the edge of the bloody lake. So thick that it created a heat that was foreign to the lands of Cocytus. The snow could almost melt from the excessive body heat, but true to its name, the frozen land was unaffected by its inhabitants, their breaths coming out in puffs of carbon dioxide. The only sound was their breathing and the light trinkle from the water that had escaped its frozen prison. Just like always, it was eerily quiet here. So much so that the beings of the land were highly sensitive to sound, their auds flickering around at even the scurrying of a mouse below the ice. "The treaty of peace is not going to last." The smooth vocals of Obelisk were met with the grungy vocals of his small brother. "Thanks, Captain Obvious." The two brothers glared each other down, the distaste obvious, though ones that truly knew the brutes would know the love they harbored for the other. The need to protect each other. " Shut up, both of you. You're giving me a headache with your bitching." Rough feminine vocals snapped out at the two, both sets of eyes joined by various others to look upon their Queen. She was a wreck. The witch had recently returned from Tiff Cliff, bloodied and bruised. No one knew whom she had gotten into a fight with or if she had been attacked by a rabid animal, but it was clear the witch was not happy. A fair amount of her mane was missing and blood oozed from the wounds around her face and neck and was even covered her entire mouth, as if she had spit out blood, but only she knew the truth. Her crimson oculars scanned around at the faces around her. As soon as she had gotten back to Cocytus, she had called a meeting. Now they stood before her, waiting to know exactly what she had commanded them here for. "We need to prepare ourselves. We do not know for sure if the peace treaty between Altus and Imperium will last. We knew it was sketchy from the beginning."
X She paused, breathing in deeply for a moment. She wasn't so sure about Imperium itself, no...not Imperium as a whole..Cocytus and Obascus. The Empress was getting old and lazy in her rule. Witchcrypt noticed that after the old king Ranjit had left, the bitch had become more of a hermit than a Queen and treated her own allies like dirt. The witch snorted and closed her eyes for another moment. The Empress's attitude was not acceptable to the Ice Queen. While she was the Empress of Imperium, she needed to learn that not all of her allies and followers were going to be completely subservient. Cocytus especially. Witchcrypt was not going to be like her father and bow his head down completely to the orange bitch. "What will we do if the treaty breaks?" The vocals of her son touched her auds, one black audit swiveling to his attention. The brindled queen exhaled and gave the cream coated younger a look of content, love for him blooming in her blood tainted eyes. But all she saw was his Father in his eyes and her eyes instantly steeled up and she turned away. "We will defend our home and those that are our allies." The meaning behind her words was not lost on her small herd. They would defend their Family. "Just keep your eyes open and trust no one." Her icy vocals formed the words quickly but effectively. "Cocytus is closing its borders. One must see me before being allowed entrance. If I am away, they must see Sentiment or Obelisk." They all collectively nodded, some moving away while her inner circle stayed near her, wanting to know exactly what had happened and why she was in such a state. Blood pooled around her front legs, staining the snow, her matching oculars looking down at the red liquid tiredly. She just wanted to sleep, but it appeared being the leadess of a land took that away.
