The Poison That Runs Threw My Viens.

[Trill Stalker]

Toxic
Revisions.

My long ember legs moved slowly over the ground, this was a time for me to explore the new land in which I would span out my life within. A wide white moon glowed peacefully in the night sky, her cold rays sparkling upon the stark snow. The dense forest around me had a sense of eeriness as its leafless arms reached up and worshipped the glory of the blackened night. A few times I had actually feared that the ancient beings were hiding something within them that could burst from its shadows and attacked my chilled body. It was still a wonderment that I had been accepted into hollow woods, the king of this dark land was now Intrepid, and before his allowance of me I had thought that he had despised me. I had given him a true reason to though, so the hatred was not something I could blame him for. I'd been young when we had first met, and innocent at the time. I hadn't known what the repercussions would be for challenging a dominant dark lord, but I had learned the hard way to respect those who owned more power then I withheld. I still had the scars to prove it, the scars were healed but the black fur over my shoulder from his predator like teeth and the middle of my back from his dagger like hooves had yet to grow back over. With a small shake of my head I forgot about the past and peered out threw the long length of dark hair covering the majority of my ash face. Even in all the blackness and eeriness of the land it's aura of power held beauty for me. The land itself seemed to pulse with life.I twitched my ears slightly to catch the potential of hidden hooves, in this new land I did not want to be caught unprepared. My ranking in the herd was not high, which was to be expected since I was still an unknown to all the others who resided here. And although Intrepid was the king of Hollow Woods I highly doubted he would come to my rescue if another mare decided to have a little fun with me.

I hear them calling king.

I must admit. i was pretty pleased with myself, in the time i had been the newly crowned king of Hollow woods there had been atleast five new arrivals. My father had helped me though, even though he held the heavy head of being beaten by Rage, he had captured a smart mares heart, Rosaluna. I hadn't met the bay beauty yet, but i was sure the next herd meeting in the spring would be fantastic. The herd was growing rapidly, and at such a good time as i was certain there would be a war pretty soon. Never the less, we were prepared, we would kill and slaughter any that dared challenge us. We had the experience, and the power and confidence behind us. i had good trust in my herd.

I began walking, board of standing still in the south of the lands. My pace soon quickened as mixed scents of mares filled my flared nostrils, i was in a good mood, therefore i didn't see the need not to talk to anyone that was around. Carcass moved up into a flighty trot, not making a sound as i moved, i was careful not to stand on any branches or knock any logs with my strong hooves. As i moved further to the north of the lands, the scents grew stronger, scenting Apocalypse close by, but then Toxic. i decided to change west to talk to the mare i had met in my early days. Falling to a flowing walk as she came into veiw.

Silver painted frame came across as mature and confident. Dominant about my ranking, confident that i had made the right choice about seeing Toxic again. " Hello, Toxic." Hows things?" I asked her, tones musky, dark and different from what they would of been when i was the cocky six month old prince of Hollow Woods. I studied her (ebon?) frame, a soft smile spreading on my jaw line. I kept things nice, i was like my father in so many ways. A total bastard until you meant something to me, and she did.

Toxic
I'm Screaming The Loudest.

Though the night was silent with only the breeze shifting sightlessly threw the surrounding tree's I knew when the one who now commanded me made his presence. The air around me thickened and the hairs running down the center of my spine stiffened. In the sinning rays of the full moon the massive form of my king flowed towards me, his neck hung elegantly in front of his muscled body hinting at his Arabic heritage. Something deep in side of me twisted uncomfortable, making me shift lightly from one foot to the next. Hello Toxic. my own name placed a half grin on my ebony lips, when we had been younger Intrepid had called me anything but my true calling. It was obvious that the both of us had grown into maturity. With a slow blink of my shinning green eyes I whispered back. "Hello King Intrepid." His own name also sparked a far away memories, he had not told me his calling when we were still young, so I had taken to nicknaming him stud-muffin, he was more edible now then before to my being. I flicked my dark tail at an imaginary something and spoke once again. "Your land is glorious, befit for a king such as your self." My vocals were soft but smooth, and they hinted at the heat that singed my nerves. "Life seems to pulse threw the very air it's self." My head shook slowly, sending a flurry of forelock to the side so that my green orbs could capture the moonshyne form of the king. "I must thank you for allowing me entrance into your dark grasps. It was a surprise to know acceptance from you." With that I pushed out my front right leg and bowed with my nose touching my soft knee. "Since our first meeting or even second one was not of kind interlocking." That second time I had come looking for him I had been embarrassed. Intrepid had showed his true darkness, a slave, female none the less, had been under his control. But my new king was of the odd sorts because he had seemed to care deeply for the slave. And being as untested in the world as I had been my mind was unable to comprehend the oddity of it all. I now knew that the world was not always black and white. After a few more seconds I recoiled back up so that I stood evenly with the king. Though I did not challenge him by looking him directly in the eyes, for some odd reason I wanted to be kept in Hollow Woods.

I hear them calling king.

Black opticals drifted to the night sky. It was clear tonight, unusual. Normally the sky would be overcast with dull looking clouds and the moon did not often make such a shining apperance. For a few moments, i let my gaze circle around the small clearing we stood in. It was different, somewhat different now. It wasn't often i stayed in the clearings, normally, i'd take to the foggy trees, where the air was thick, almost thick enough to choke you, where no or little light shined through the leaves on the tops of the trees. but yet, i was comftable here.

When her whispered words reached my harks, i snapped my gaze onto her, giving haf a smile at hering my name and the word king rushed together. Shaking my skull, i looked away from her, harks flopped forwards as the sound of rustling leaves came to my audits, however, i soon became focused on the ebon mare as she spoke again. "Things have changed now, Toxic. I thought i made it clear i would come looking for you when the time was right.We were young then, unwise and un controllable. now, things are different. Very ... different..." I stated with stiff tones, yet they slipped away as a white owl swooped by and called out. I gave a snort and returned my cold stare to the mare, she bowed and my audits gently pressed back into my cranium, i stepped forward and nipped the mare, hard on the top of her neck, stepping back to give her space once more. I loved the idea of mares 'bowing down' to me and i liked how they respected me, however, if they continued to bow down, it made me feel, well, like a slave catcher and we didn't need that, not now. Now we needed to work together.

Toxic

The black orbs of my king sent a chilling shiver threw my body, it stung at the tips of my nerves. Intrepid made me feel things, things that no one ells had managed to erupt into the fire that ragged now. I thought i made it clear i would come looking for you when the time was right His guttural words made me smile, it was just a small one though. "King Intrepid I must say that I was the one to find you." I knew that it might have been wrong for me to point that out because of my low ranking in the hierarchy but I had my eyes set on being more then I was now and that meant that I had to show that I could stand up for my self. And that when I did it was because it was something important. My attention was caught by a swooping owl, its moon grey feather shined brilliantly for a second as it flew in long graceful strides. Suddenly a sharp pain skittered down my spine from a place atop my neck and I find myself staring back at a pair of cold, calculating eyes. When I had been younger I had not been able to take that fierce challenge of Intrepid, instead I had retaliated against him. I'd learned that attacking him back was not the right choice of action. The pain that his quick nip had caused me made my head shake fiercely. When I stopped my own green orbs staired back at my king. He was a dark so the bite had not been a surprise. "If I may be as so bold as to ask you how many others live beneath your ruling." My voice was husky as I spoke.

I sensed her tense up and my skull tilted slightly, wondering what she was so un-relzexed for. at her words, i gave a soft snort, followed by a chuckle. "But it was me who told you where i lived, right?" I gave an amused smirk and stepped forward to nip at her right shoulder; quickly sidestepping away to avoid a counter attack. A flashy, yet sly grin curling its way up my jaw line.

AS she winced with the small nip i gave her, brow furrowed slightly, perhaps after the herd meeting the two of us should have some fighting practice, i wanted her to stay, so much. but it was my guess that she hadn't been 'attacked' often, i wanted her to toughen up and learn from me, see me as something more than just a fierce leader. I was a teacher too, learning my followers the importance of fighting, the importance of slaughtering any that crossed our path. Her musky tones came to my harks again and i gave a smile, shifting my wieght slightly before answering. "Many reside here, Toxic. there is Queen Droja, and our child, Anna-Lee. Next in line is Eris, and echo, two of my favourite candy toys. Echo is in foal to my third child, due in spring. then there is the special kids, Lustra and Blizzard, my siblings, watch blizzard, she's a cow at times, but she should stay quiet, she's just been in a fight with Anna-lee. Next comes the higher ranked mares, Apocalypse, Banshee, Rosaluna and Asthela. All are fairly new to the herd, so they should be no trouble. There is nother stallion that resides here, Insane Laughter. give him as much 'stick' as you want, he's under my test, i'm seeing how much he can take before he cracks. There are some more mares, Amethea, youself, Roulette and Rosetta. All but Amethea are new, thea is in foal to my father, who also still resides here as the cheif, alongside him, is his mistress, anntho. watch her, she has an extremely nasty side...and i think that is all." I stopped, catching my breath and looking at the ebon fae for some sort of reaction. would she besuprised at how well i had done? Being only four years old and having the biggest, most successful herd. Hakrs swivelled around at the sound of a wolf howling in the distance, and his female companion returning a call reavealed her presence; which was abuot 500 metres away from where we stood. I shifted slightly, to curl my frame around toxic. normally, the female wolves were generous, and often made conversation with the higher ranked members of the herd, it was the males that almost always attacked. "Your welcome to stick by me if you want, in the herd meeting." I added, in a hushed tone, trying to listen out for the she-wolf.

Toxic

A short laugh escaped my throat at Intrepids come back to my pointing out that he had not actually came to find me. "It is true that you told me of where your home was but that does not account for you finding me." I could not give him this win for I had been the one to come to him, though it would have also been alright for me to give him the prize of winning since he had been the one to find me in the very beginning. My ears twitched tentatively as my King spoke again, there were quite a few others that lived underneath his wing and it impressed and depressed me both at the same time. The first emotion was due to him being so young and only having been a king for a short time, and the later one was because how was I supposed to compete with all of them? I wasn't usually one to be deterred but, he already had a queen? God this one moved quickly. As Intrepid ended his answer a echoing howl shifted threw the air, and it didn't sound all that far off. Alarm put my body on edge, what was a predator doing in this Terran? And why didn't it seem to face Intrepid. My skin twitched with the urge to run, I would not though, I would stand here with my King. To get my mind off of the terror that hid in the darkened forest I set my eyes upon Intrepid and let them roam. "I would like to meat the rest who you rule over, but are you sure you want me beside you?" Being near the King was a role left to those who were of a higher ranking than mine. And since the others in this land did not know me I highly doubted they would like my being so close to his darkness.

As the short laugh escaped her maw, i gave a sharp snort and dipped my skull, arching my neck to an almost arkward angle. Letting the comment slip by before i got even more fustrated with her. Black opticals rested on her tense frame and i gave a small, almost un-noticable smirk. "Don't worry about the wolves, the females are often friendly, but the males are not. Not since i killed their leader, of course." Again, maybe i shouldn't of said that. Already i was a brutal killer, brought up to slaughter anything that dared cross my path without a second glance. I let my gaze unlock from hers, and gazed up at a raven that had been disturbed from his nest. Only looking back down at her when she spoke. Clearing my throat, i nodded, then spoke in a husky, very 'stallion' like tone. "No one will cross my path, Toxic. You will get bullied if you do not show confidence. It would be best to stand closer, that way, you make a good impression. Some may pick fights, if they do, you take them. Its how things roll here." I gave her a suspicious eye. Oh how fun this next herd meeting would be. so many in the herd, and not all had met the other yet. Surely at least one fight would start? Now the herd had grown rapidly, there would be jelousy inflicted upon the queen and higher positions, and of course, at this moment in time, anyone that dared cross droja would pay for it. I knew the painted mare could stick up for herself; however, with such bad injuries, it would be so foolish for anyone to challenge.
