"Bloody mountains, bloody bodies, bloody leaves, bloody bairn, bloody bloody bloody." The raspy vocals of the female echoed out, some words jumbled or indiscernible due to the lack of lips upon the missus. Large carnivorous teeth glistened with drool as she moved through the mountain pass. She was still a bit fat from her birthing of the little creature that was her daughter, who was somewhere, where, she didn't care. At the moment she just wanted out of these blasted mountains. 'Though they do give perfect isolation. Which is what we like.' She said to herself, socketless skull raising to test the atmosphere around herself, it was midday, the small eye between her auds letting her know that much. She had never known what it was like to see, she had been born with no eye sockets so she had no idea just how different she was. The mare halted each and every leg, a total of six, and reached back with her exposed dentals, chewing on her belly, the exoskeleton like skin making an odd crunchy sound, making it a bit difficult to get the itch beneath. Her hindleg lashed out in irritation, the long scorpion-like tail curling and looking quite ominous in its high arch.

She turned her nape back around, the twelve inch curled spines along her back catching the light and glistening slightly, but they were exceptionally dull in texture and color, therefore giving little to no reflection of the light. Creature snorted, moving her limbs in an amazing display of carefully orchestrated choreography. One, four, five, two, three, six. Each foot moving in unison but at the same time at completely different times. The shimmering and hideous mare moved down the incline, using her long tail as a balance of sorts. She hummed as she kicked away snow, the chill seeping into her bones and it absolutely didn't bother her. The summer and heat was her bane, but this last summer hadn't been as bad, she had met someone, a unique stallion. She grinned, or at least in her mind she was grinning. Entropy. He was so sweet! She felt the giggle escape her and she bounded down the slope, she hadn't seen him in a while and had yet to see the child they had created. She remembered her first encounter, her face heated up slightly at the memory, her heart warming. He hadn't even known her name and already screamed at no one that she was his, and his alone. She grinned as best she could, bounding off the last bit of the slope and burying herself belly deep in snow. "Oh cometh thee on." She muttered in her completely unfeminine voice, whipping her skull around to get a sense of her surroundings. Snorting harshly she lifted her first set of legs and dug her way way out as she did this, she would move forward a bit, until finally she was not as deep.

She used the long and dangerous tail to skim across the top of the snow absentmindedly as her mind went completely on getting out of the deep drift of snow. Once she found a path that had been traveled in the snow, she quickly went back to thinking about Entropy. She had been away from him for a few months, he had not gotten to see the birth of their foal, sadly. She missed him dearly and she was starting to get anxious every time she thought of him, bringing about thoughts that she didn't want in her head. What happened to him? Was he okay? Did he miss her as well? As she thought of this, she suddenly realized that she should be worried about their daughter. She was a precious gem that any creature would love to snuff out. She became panicked. The monstrous mare picked her legs up and moved into a quick trot, letting her spooky and raspy vocals echo out, calling for her little gem to come back, to let her know that she was okay. " Saélihn! Come to mother, dear! " Her rough vocals called out, the mare moving frantically around the small clearing of snow.

High on the mountain peek the winds were more frigid and unforgiving. The landscape had gone from the lively thing it had been to dead silent, wrapped in the grasp of winter death grip. The tree had all but shed their leaves, only a few stragglers held on in some parts, and snow covered the ground, in some places clear up to the knee. Here atop this lonely mountain the snow always fell. Even in the warmest of summer the peak of the mountain never shed its ice, it only thinned, and made the journey north even more dangerous. NIghtmare didn't understand why his brother had made this place his home for the last couple of years. Inside he would have loved to think it had something to do with the return of the former King, but Nightmare knew his brother much to well for that. Unlike his namesake the monster had been void of such a notion. There had been times when FEAR had been scared. There were times when they had all been scared, including himself, but genuine fear was all but unknown to either of them.

The black titan looked upon the world below him, his tail whipping in the wind as he did. HIs eye made of envy shown brightly in the grey light, reflecting the lands of Obascus. That where she would come back if she did. Sooner or later she would get tired of waiting for her King to return to, and so she would follow him here. Nightmare would be waiting. He would be watching for any change to the Empress' demeanor and wondered if she would be pissed or insanely pleased for Advi's return. After all upon the dappled mares appearance, Nirvana would loose Ranjit, and his advances. The large beast's face turned down in a frown, as he tucked his head to the side pretending to feel sorry for the little Empress. Sure she was his leader, and he would remain loyal to her, but the thought of her silent pain, brought a smile and a little pleasure to his heart.

Large headdress jerked to his side, forgetting the lonely Empress and the advisor she would love to be beneath. He scanned his clearing, noting the bloodstains under the stone he had undiscovered upon arriving. The body of his brother was long gone, but the shattered bones of his head still remained. Others were scattered here and there, and would remain in this place forever more. The work of bringing his brother's remains down into the place of burial was to much for the Titan, nor did he feel the need to give his brother the pleasure of being at peace anymore then he felt the need for Nirvana's endless and happy days. [smear:aa4d01]Do not look at me like that, brother. You know as well as I do you belong here. Where no one knows you exist. Where no one will remember you. [/smear:351501] He spoke low and calm, picking up his large talons and moving away to the small cave. It had been in this dwelling where he visited him and his little niece the most. A strange thing she had been, and unlike her father; Nightmare had found little interested for the child, and cared whether or not Ranjit too had maimed her.

Nightmare's sudden thought about the emptiness of this place was shortly interrupted by hysterical lyrics. Auds planted themselves along his poll to rid himself of the squawking screech of this unknown lady. His gaze as well as his crown followed her suit as she passed in front of him, his body concealed by the darkness of the shallow cave. The mare was unaware of his presence. She would have been a treat if he had been in the mood for cat and mouse games. Swiftly and with a haunting grace and unveiled himself to the bizarre looking temptress. [smear:aa4d01]Here I am mommy![/smear:351501] He spoke, his tones musky and rough as if the had a layer of thick rust upon them, but where clear enough to be understood. [smear:aa4d01]Lost something have we? A child?[/smear:351501] The large czar marched toward her, the body bouncing slightly with every step. His gaze hungrily ate her image, and his tongue parted his lips as if flicked back and forth to taste her chemicals. [smear:aa4d01]I can't pretend to be surprised you have a child, dear. The Gods must have been drunk and decided to bless with a joke when they made you. But you smell like quite the beauty.[/smear:351501] He spoke cooly, pulling up to her side, mesmerized by her long, and deadly tail. [smear:aa4d01]Is that just for show? Or can it back up its bark?[/smear:351501] He teased opening his mouth wider with each word, so that his snake-like fangs unfolded, the tips beading with the poison from the hollow incisors.

CREATURE

The monstrous mare was frantic, her long, bat-like auds dancing upon her poll, trying to catch any sound. The relayed the sounds of mice in the snow, owls in the trees. The bark of a fox in the distance. Auds twitched as trees swayed in the icy breeze, her bodice quivering and hunching in on itself. Her lack of fur was deadly to her now. She could not keep heat as well as most, and she did not grow a winter coat. The silver mare pulled her long tongue back into her maw, having no lips to hold it in was quite bothersome. She sipped up the saliva that was freezing on her bare teeth and snorted, causing quite the chain reaction that left her feeling a bit high. She halted, her mind utterly frazzled for a whole of five seconds before it finally cleared. She slowly came down from her accidentally induced high only to feel her body shiver even harder. She whimpered, her hideous bodice looking as if an earthquake had struck from her own core. Her teeth chattered ruthlessly, nipping her tongue and causing it to bleed in a few spots, which she ignored, letting the blood ooze out from her dentals with the saliva that was slowly pooling up in her maw. 'I've got to find her! My poor, poor darling is probably very frightened!' She pined in her own skull, moving forward in the snow again.

Oh how angry Entropy will be when he finds out that Creature lost their child! The socially isolated female shivered more at the thought than she did at the cold. She did not want to anger him! She had seen how vicious he got upon their first meeting, how he dared anyone to come close! She did not want that directed at her! The prehensile 'antenna' behind her nares flicked around in the air, tasting the air as her nares flared, taking in the scents. The scent of snow and the faint smell of a wolf pack in the distance, perhaps the one around Obascus? It was entirely possible. It was rumored that the beasts had taken down one of the Captains of the Dark army, The Reckoning, who had sired the first foal of the Dark Empress. She felt her maw water at the thought of the pack animals coming closer. She had a taste for wolf, it was her favorite! Sweet and lean, a real tasty morsel. Her belly grumbled like an untamed beast and she whipped her skull around, pressing lipless dentals to her exoskeleton belly, cooing as if she were still pregnant and comforting the child that was clearly not growing there. She nipped at the skin, massaging her belly and curling her long and dangerous tail down, level with her spine. 'Here I am mommy!' The voice's tenor was raspy and unfamiliar, but it took a moment for the brain of the beastess to realize this, her entire frame flipping around. 'My dear! Oh my flesh, where have you gone?' She purred before it finally hit her that his was not her flesh and blood.

'Lost something have we? A child?' The tenor hurt her highly sensitive auds and she made a slight screech, maw opening due to lack of lips. She gurgled and spat like a cat at the unknown beast before her. 'I can't pretend to be surprised you have a child, dear. The Gods must have been drunk and decided to bless with a joke when they made you. But you smell like quite the beauty.' She could not help the small gasp at his harshness, the antenna like appendages on her face flickering forward, feeling for the beast of burden that had come upon her so quickly. Who was this rude entity? 'Is that just for show? Or can it back up its bark?' There it came again and she pinpointed his stride, feeling it through her hooves, though a bit muffled by the snow, her auds picked him up through the air and she growled, her unfeminine vocals make it deeper and extremely foreboding. Her bodice shivered and pinned for the warmth that radiated from his hair covered pelt. Legs with a mind of their own drew the perlino mare closer and she pressed herself to the flesh of this beast. His scent enveloped her but she did not let it bother her. Creature continued to growl and hiss and spit, her mind rolling over his words. 'I do not know, would you like to fucking find out?' Drool dripped onto the beast's pelt and to add to the wet spot that was most likely happening, she drug her tongue across the same spot. Her sparse mane did nothing to help with the cold but the body that was against hers was welcome, even though she held her tail threateningly just above their heads.
