- my last heartbeat will always be reserved for you.

Bay bodice shivered as the cold grasped my body and clung to it tightly. Above me the stars were shining brightly on this beautiful fall night; everything was clear tonight as the moon focused its shining gaze upon my hazel colored frame. Beneath me my pillars were working like propels – pushing me off towards my destination with an unmatched pace, today – today I was unstoppable. The sapphire orbs that normally show all my feelings were hidden today; hidden behind a long brown mane that almost reached my sensitive nares. I couldn’t possibly look more like my mother than today – I had focused on the blurry images I had saved in my brain of her; the blood upon her legs – the sad expression in her eyes, I had copied it all. My grandfather had told me a million times that I was an exact copy of my mother – and today I wanted to be; today I wanted to avenge the innocent mare who had given her life for some sick twisted stallion. I reached the border of the Hollow Woods – the place I had once considered to call my own, to take my rightful place at the side of my once proud father – the one that had visited me and told me that he loved me. But where was that love now? Where was the love he had promised me? It was gone!

Instead he had a new family – a better family; including a little brat that obviously was way better than me too and my confused brain couldn’t handle that. I wanted my mother back – desperately wanted her to come home from wherever she had left to; to come home and make the bad dreams go away, make daddy return to his rightful place – at her side, protection me and her from any potential dangers. God I hated him, hated his manipulations – hated his lies and his false promises. I came to a sliding stop upon a sandy hill at the edge of the territory before taking a deep breath – my slender frame broadening then falling back into place, before letting out the fateful call that would forever change my life. “Intrepid, King of the Hollow Woods – I, Einjeru, challenges you to fight me to the death” My strong yet soft voice called out across the territory. I decided to use my mother’s name because in my twisted and confused mind, it was Einjeru’s final wishes I was complying with; who cared if I fell in this battle? I would become one with my beloved mother then and the rest would see what kind of monster Intrepid really was. I hammered my right front pillar into the ground before impatiently dragging it back towards myself – effectively scraping up soft sand. I missed my mother; missed her soft voice and the beautiful sapphire orbs she possessed; and sometimes – just sometimes, when I found myself looking at my reflection in the water, I saw her and she talked to me.

She and I would talk for hours and she would tell me of her wishes – which was that she wanted Intrepid dead for the crimes he committed; for the betrayal towards both me and her. I didn’t know however that the one I was talking to in the liquid was no other than myself – that I had driven myself so far out in grief and anguish that I had become slightly delusional. I found that I couldn’t function – couldn’t eat, sleep or drink if I didn’t comply with her wishes – and that had brought me here; to kill my own father and sire. “I’ll do it for you mom; I love you.” I murmured to myself in the darkest hour of the night as I awaited his arrival. Drops of liquid slowly slid down my bay cheeks and onto the sandy hill and soon I lowered my crown slightly – my stance was on the outside defeated and mourning, but my eyes were flashing dangerously with looks that could kill and upon my lips was a wicked smile to match.

I hear them calling king.

Silver tinted carcass moved with a stubborn posture as i walked through the land. Darker tipped audits fell backward and my black opticals were narrowed slightly. All movement was stiff, and my nostrils had expanded to draw in more air. All actions i made stated the clear obvious. My mood was sour after the short meeting with Droja earlier in the day.

Greyed pillars struck the earth and propelled me into a three-beat pace. Relaxing me slightly but my posture was still rough and jagged. Running often relaxed me, i found it let my thoughts run away, leave me with peace for once. peace it seemed almost impossible now that my condition was worsening. It seemed though, my angry thought had vanished, that was until i heard her...

It was definatly Phoenix's voice, my first daughter, but she named herself Einjeru. Why? Immediatly, i stopped dead. Sliding on the moist grass a few metres beofre i came to a stop. Ears pricked up, alert, nostrils expanded and drew in a big gush of air. Informing me that, yes Phoenix was indeed back in Hollow Woods. At her words, a wretched roar erupted from my silver carcass. Ears snapped back into my skull and i reared to half height. Slamming my forehooves down into the ground before kicking out at a nearby tree and picking up full speed, carreering to where her voice came from.

It wasn't long before her scent became stronger and i found myself slowing slightly as she came into veiw. At a first glance, i could of sworn it was Einjeru and again, i slid to a stop. Mud rushing up my legs and caking my belly, a few spots catching onto my neck and face. I showed all signs of dominance and agression. How would she react now? Now i was totally different. Her father, once a proud and protective creature had been turned into a horrid monster by a disease he had no control over.

I slowly began walking over to her, head raised at an arkward angle, white of my eyes showing, a slight sweat forming on my silver coat as my vision blurred, a threatening sign that another bipolar attack was heading my way. "Why have you come back!" I snarled at her. Lifting my forelegs three inches or so off the wet grass. Her words still stung me, "I challenge you to fight me to the death" How could i possibly kill her?!


Jaw began grinding in a slow motion, trying my utmost best to control my anger. I took a few steps towards her, decreasing the space between father and child. "What makes you think you can state such a thing, Phoenix. It would be impossible for you to kill me, and completely impossible for me to harm you." I hissed out at her. A low growl coming up my throat. How on earth she had come up with this idea i had no clue.

- I drew the forces that fueled your hate.

The wind shifted and soon the musky scent of stallion was brought to my awaiting nostrils. The wolfish grin upon my lips widened as I sensed his approach – felt his hooves hammering into the hard ground as he came to a halt near my slender bodice. Slowly – gradually, I lifted my hazel crown to allow him a short insight of my mood – of my state of mind; and found that he too had lost control. His stance was aggressive and threatening – towering over my smaller bodice as he tried to frighten me. Instinct grabbed and a wave of fear soon surged through my body, but I wouldn’t back down – this was the time to settle, the time to make a stand. Bay mane swayed with the wind as the titans eyed each other – both doing their best to seek out the opponent’s weaknesses and strengths. I casually began walking towards him – forcing my muscular pillars to carry my smaller bodice to his slightly larger one; didn’t he understand why I was here? Rage grew in my chest as his hateful lyrics rang across the short distance – why had I come back? Wasn’t I his damn daughter? The howling wind danced across my pelt as to soothe my raging temper, but instead of being subdued my temper flared. “Because I hate you” The words that left my slightly parted maw was feral and should have been a clear warning to the brute to step lightly – but did they ever? Nope. Instead his duo colored frame moved towards me – entering my personal space! Hazel orbs flashed dangerously as I stared the stallion down, I could almost feel the electricity buzzing between us. “Yes you can and you will – because you’re a bastard, a liar and a insane monster!” I screamed at his duo colored frame – making sure that my eyes were kept on his at all times. Without further notice I immediately launched forward in an attempt to distract him as I aimed to place a hard bite around his throat.

After attempting my attack I gracefully fell back to dance around him; circling him like a pack of wolves would circle a moose before striking. “Come on old man” I taunted him – attempting to bring him out of control, to make him do something he would regret later. Lips parted to bare my sharp canines as I clacked my teeth at him. Beneath me my pillars worked to keep me circling around him, my hooves echoed throughout the clearing as they made contact with the dusty ground – effectively sending up a cloud of dust with every step I took. Time seemed to stand still – the only sounds that could be heard were our breathing, the sway of the tree when the wind caught them and the sound of my hooves hammering down with all my force into the hard ground. I couldn’t believe he could be that aggressive and cold towards me; was I not his damn daughter? Once again the rage flared up in my – sending a pulsing wave of red burning hate through my veins. Slender ears flattened and slowly my eyes narrowed into they were mere slits; I wasn’t daddy’s little precious girl anymore – I was a pissed off, full grown mare, with a giant hate for this deceitful creature that I was circling. I couldn’t wait to tear his lying eyes out – to rip his cold heart out of his broad chest and then finally the world would be free of his evil; his insane ways and perhaps other foals would be lucky enough to keep their mothers. “You killed my mother; you MONSTER!” I hissed out before striking out once again. This time however I changed tactics slightly from attack from ground to strike from the air. Grey flints glinted in the scarce light as I aimed my talons at his shoulder – either to push him over or to inflict serious damage.

I hear them calling king.

Nostrils flared in a wild anger as i continued to glare down at my daughter, my opticals narrowing as i frowned. audits pressing back into my skull as she spoke; neck arched to an unpleasent angle then twisted forward as my forelegs lifted inches off the ground, slamming them back down, whirls of dust formed around my bodice, making me look more 'ghost-like' in the weird lighting. "You hate me because of what? Because you were ripped away from me? Because your precious 'granddaddy' fed you with lies?" I started. I hated how she hated me, i had done nothing wrong, nothing at all. It was Riku, filling my daughters ears with twisted lies.

I lifted a foreleg and pushed in down into the earth, hard. Why had i let this happen? She words continued, and angered me more and a low hiss came from my slightly parted muzzle. "I have told you no lies, Phoenix!" I shouted; rearing to full height in my rage. Harks pressed further back into my skull as i landed, forelock spilling over my glistening opticals. I was so angry! What had provoked her into this? Riku? Had he made her come over here? I gave a snort of discust at the fact and glared at my two year old daughter.

Without further notice; the blurred frame of the 'Einjeru' look-a-like pounced at me, jaws open; with a low hiss i reared sideways as tobring myself away from her hungry fangs; circling 'round the back of her, i stopped, dusk raising off the cold floor as hooves halted. I statued as she circled me, audits following her 'round, hearing everytihng she was doing. Then she spoke words of pure discust towards me; "You killed my mother!" At the words I spun around, landing just mere inches away from her face; eyes were wide, whites showing, showing my confusion and misunderstood attitude, yet my vocals carried outt o my daughter in a smooth collected manner. "I didn't kill your mother, Phoenix, i loved her; greatly infact. Who told you this?" I almost 'begged' to know the answer i frantically wished to know.
