i strode into this new land; it smelled, familiarily, of death, of rotting flesh, of such impenetrable darkness that, regardless of the weather, it seemed the sun's warming rays never touched the blackened, dying grass that carpeted the hard forest floor. i liked it. sure, the sun was nice on my black coat, but darkness matched my personality more. and i was much, much more stealthy in blackness.

and now i was looking for intrepid. the famous, dark intrepid. of course, being a new member in his lovely herd, he had alloted me a crappy place on the hierarchial totem pole. and i was about to change that. he wanted to know about me? oh, he'd get plenty of information today. plenty to last him a lifetime. could he handle me? many stallions had tried. none had succeeded.

x.x[/ul]

i wasn't actually eager to meet him. really, i had enough of brutes for one lifetime. i had formed my opinion early on. in my mind, stallions were pompous, insolent asses who did not deserve my attention. i sighed, though i was strangely excited to meet this brute and prove my theory right.

I hear them calling king.

Silver carcass moved silently through the lands; picking up the new scent of Apocalpse; the newest arrival to the herd of Hollow Woods. I had been hoping to bump into her soon; we had things to talk about, things i needed to know.

Black tipped audits pressed gently against my skull as I progressed on, through the woods. Coming closer to the black mare; i slowed from the spritely trot to a flowing walk; halting close to her, reaching out with my black tipped muzzle to nip at her shoulder. "Afternoon, Apocalpse. I was hoping to bump into you.." I spoke with darkened words, licknig at my maw and relaxing my carcass slightly.

I cleared my throat; sidestepping closer and reaching down to snatch up at some drying grass. "Well; we shall begin, ey? Tel lme about yourself, i want to know everything." I demanded in confident lyrics; hearing the slight 'patter' of heavy raindrops on the top of the tree's. Though not many drops managed to reach the floor, due to the overgrown leaves.

i heard intrepid before i saw him; the soft crackle of snow was barely discernible over the fitfully howling wind, but it was there. to the untrained ear, it was silent. but i knew intrepid was on his way; i could feel my bones singing with the dark aura he carried about himself like a personal climate, cooling everything within its radius. "hullo, intrepid," i hissed in a coy voice, a sly smirk etching itself onto my black velvets as he sidled up to my side, placing a nip on my relaxed shoulder. automatically, black, lithe boa twisted, cranium swivelling in the silver stud's direction as powerful jaws snapped shut mere inches from his jugular.

x.x[/ul]


but alas, i was not that stupid to kill my king, at least not before i attained good status within the herd, as i stopped my ivories from closing about their fatal target, instead snorting belligerently as he greeted me with mocking tones. [/color]"i hope this midwinter noon finds yourself well..." i added in a sly, insolent twisted chorus. i was here for one reason, and one reason only: to attain higher status, among the common herd mares. screw royals, i thought to myself, allowing an evil leer to sculpt itself on my dished facade, i'm fine with being a commoner. i was about to snap at him to get to the point already, when he spoke again... everything? he wanted to know everything? I snorted involuntarily, flickering my silken banner before dancing a few steps away to face the silver brute.

x.x[/ul]

[/color]"if you insist, king... i was born captive, to those humanoid beasts. lily, they called me. so innocent, for such a dark soul. of course, they didn't see the shadows growing in my heart and mind until much later. they were too stupid to realize the truth earlier, but i'm sure you haven't had much experience with those insubordinate creatures, so i won't bore you. anywho, they couldn't handle me." i laughed darkly at this, remembering the way they tried to tame my wild spirit. ropes -lots of ropes. and hobbles. every imaginable contraption they tried, in hopes of salvaging my twisted mind. it almost pained me to watch their feeble attempts. "long story short, i was sold around to 'better' more 'experienced' people.. i kicked a few skulls in before they saw the darkness taking hold. they left me alone after that epiphany. until they tried to breed me. insolent swines... i almost killed the stallion, and, a few days later, the family dog. that's when they decided 'apocalypse' would be more appropriate for my twisted mentality. the barn went up in flames a couple weeks later, and i escaped that hell hole -although, i do admit, i miss the luxuries of human husbandry- and then i found this place. end of story. anything else you would like to know?" i finished, arching my black boa haughtily, and peering coyly at him from under black lashes, feigning innocence.

The mare reacted faster than i thought she would; and smartly, i sidestepped to avoid her hungry fangs. Shaking my skull, so tresses fell over troubled eyes, i licked at my dry maw, the weather rapidly turning colder as the winter season continued. Whipcord kinked slightly as i wafted the strands around my body, wisping off any stray snowflakes that had landed when i was under less cover.

At her words, i couldn't hold back a sly chuckle, it was released out of my lips in a 'witch-like' tone. "Me? Well? Apocalypse; i find that merely impossible due to my disorders." I stated with a clear note. Audits set forward as she snorted and began to speak; black opticals focused on her black, slender frame. "The information semes pretty decent." I stated, with a clear nod of my head. "But, wench, what brought you here to Hollow Woods?" I wanted to know if she had heard off anyone, i needed to know things, who was applading the herd, and who wasn't; those that were found not to be would be punished.

"being a new member of this herd, i am perhaps unaware of these disorders of yours; if i may ask, by what particular ailment have you befallen?" i asked, curiosity tinging the onyx depths of alert optics. i personally had no other disorder than psychopathy, but most darks suffered that, so i was not alone in my suffering, if you could call it that.

x.x[/ul]

"The information semes pretty decent." i nodded at his words absently; no one could accuse me of lying. every word i had spoke was nothing but the truth. and equines who questioned my word would quickly find themselves in my very unwanted spotlight of attention. he spoke again, this time more harshly, demanding."But, wench, what brought you here to Hollow Woods?" his eyes were calculating.

x.x[/ul]

"i asked around; most of the population told me yours was the darkest herd i could find. a few brave ones gave me directions and wished me sense, but other than that, they didn't have much to say... i believed them, and decided to drop in; i didn't think you'd meet my standards, but you're doing well. better than most stallions," i concluded with a sly smirk, nares flared.[/ul]

sorry it took soo long, lynx!! *face palm*

I was intrigued, and stepped clsoer to the ebon mare, she spoek with such intelliegence and i gave a welcoming smile in her direction. "Bipolar and major psychopathy. It's proberly best you asked; i wouldn't want you freaking out if you saw me having a bipolar fit." I smirked. Looking at her pretty features as she spoek again on how her journey had brought her to Hollow woods. i nodded, thinking of who had spoken to her on the way. "Well, Apocalypse. it certainly is a pleasure having you here. You'll have some time to wander around, the next herd meeting is in the spring; you'll meet all the herd then." I told her, brow furrowing, waiting on her response. "Is there anything else you would like to know?" i added, giving her a bit of a head start so she wouldn't feel left out at the meeting.

[/i] bad," i grinned, teasingly, a smirk painting itself on my velvets as he spoke again.

"Well, Apocalypse. it certainly is a pleasure having you here. You'll have some time to wander around, the next herd meeting is in the spring; you'll meet all the herd then. Is there anything else you would like to know?" i nodded, executing a little curtsy as he said it was a pleasure to have me around. "trust me, the pleasure is all mine.... but if i will be meeting your herd soon, i might just have to monopolize you for a bit longer... i do have some questions... firstly, who's your queen? you know, just in case... wouldn't want to piss her off the first time i met her," i added slyly, before continuing in a serious tone; "and are there any other horses of prestigious ranks that i might need to know?" i finished, my ears pricking forward to catch his words and make sure i knew the queen, at the very least. i did not want to anger her... at least not until i knew her better....


ooc; i'z sorry. i have little muse, and i don't even want to do the coding. :/ sorry i took so long, though. :[[/color][/size][/font][/ul]

silver audits swooped back into their graves when she spoke. She must be the only one that wasn't...well scared of my disorders. 'it can't be that bad' I snorted, and tossed my skull, letting the comment roll over. i became figety and rocked my weight from one hoof to the other, constantly glaring at the mare. But then she spoke wise words and my harks lifted from their graves and i gave a calm smile. "clever question..My current queen is Droja, yes, watch out for her, you'll either click or hate each other, but she won't harm you here. Other important ones are Eris, an ebon mare, an elder. Shes sweet, she'l welcome you. the other is Echo, a dappled young filly. she has similar disorders to me, but she's nice enough." I explained, flickig my whipcord lazily across my sides. "wil lthere be anything else, dear? Or can i go about my business?" I wasn't trying to rush this mare in any way, but i thought it pointless to stand and wait for eachother to speak.
