 Discord hung from the branch, during the day she lingered in the shade with her master, she watched with a screech of contentment as she watched him finish his work.
Lifting his blood coated muzzle from his current work, Disillusion eyed the bat at her screech, "In a minute pet.." He said, his tones husky as he lowered his head, fangs sinking into the soft flesh of the stallion and ripped a chunk of him out, tossing it away. He had already eaten his fill of him, but it had been more for the hunt, and the message than it had been for his need to feed.
Watching the blood pool in the gaping hole, he motioned for Discord to come. As the bat flew down and perched on the side of the dead stallion, she drank from the wound.
Once she had taken her fill, which wasnt much. Discord flew to Disillusion who wrapped a wing around her to sheild her from the sun as he left his work behind. The remains of his prey lingered behind him, a gruesome image it painted, the warning it screamed.
It was time to patrol their lands, she was proud of what they had accomplished for far, the herd was slowly growing and soon spring would be taking over the land and theyre duties would be even more fullfilling as the flowers began to blossom.
Her wings fluttered gently with her movements as she smiled, she was happy. She was truly content and happy, but her nose began to twitch and flare at a coppery scent that hung heavy in the air. Her ears began to twitch around as she started to look around, what was that smell?
She started to follow the scent, what was making that awful smell? Her stomach began to knot and twist as she grew closer to it, the smell growing stronger..
And then she screamed.

Winter was in full force, in all its glittery, brillant splendor and Domovoi of the Fae loved every single bit of it. The chill to the air laced with bitter cold was somehow amazing, a tiny miracle that made his heart flutter. He was born for wintertime. Sure, he loved spring, loved the blooming flowers and flitting of the Faeries...but winter. Everything was peaceful and, in his little world, perfect.
Look at the pros: He was strong; he trained every day to keep himself in shape, on the ground or in flight. His pink pelt gleamed with new muscle under a hearty winter coat. He had a family who loved him, who he visited every so often...
Oh, and he had Niobe.
Just the word was sweet on his tongue. God, he had a schoolboy crush on the girl, something he just couldn't shake, try as he might. She was beautiful, elegant...wonderful. He sighed happily at the thought of the sunlight dancing along her pink and black streaked mane, catching light off the tiny silver skulls nestled among it. Her smile alone could lift him up and carry him mile upon mile of happiness.
But he was her protector, not her boyfriend, and definitely not her mate. He was a colt for thinking otherwise. He would have to be happy with friendship.
His body jerked to a stop as a scream rose up, fearful and shrill. "Niobe!" The word escaped his lips in a rush and before he could think twice about his training, about running into danger, he was galloping headlong in the direction of the scream.

The sound of her scream was like music to his ears, he side stepped and pranced a little as if dancing to a fine tune. A wicked grin was plastered across his features as if today was the best day of his life, the shadows danced over his form as he paused now, the sound of thundering hooves caught his attention, was her brother coming?
No no, he was much to busy with his own mate and family to be at his sisters beck n' call. Who was this new player then? Curiously, he didnt stray to far now, lurking in the depths of the shadows.
She picked her way carefully closer to the mangled corpse. She tried to avoid stepping into the pools of blood, or the hunks of flesh scattered about, but it was to late, her hooves were already tacky with it. Horror was clear on her face as she continued to inch closer, who was this helpless creature, and why..
She could barely make out the face of another soquili, no no, not one of her herd but it could have been. "Disillusion.." she gasped out, as she gazed at the mangled remains, the bits and pieces that dripped from the trees. Eyes filling with sorrow, this stallion had died because of her, it was a heavy burden to carry on her shoulders. She shuddered now, her body was doing its best to hold back any sobs, her mind completely focused on getting this creature back together.
He deserved to at least be left with some dignity.
She nudged a chunk back towards the corpse, blood streaking her face.

Domovoi's heart raced like a freight train as the scent of blood, thick and metallic, hit his nose. He reared back, tossing his mane anxiously. Niobe... No. No. No. The word drilled into his mind, repetitive and painful. That kalona... The one Niobe had warned him of. Damnit! He wasn't there, like he was supposed to be. No. He was too late... His heart ached, twisting as if a knife had been sunken into it and blood was freely gushing out.
Pull yourself together, he snarled, pulling on his resolve like a coat of steel. Anger blossomed from him and his hooves struck the ground, closing in on the scent of blood.
And the sight of her, alive, frightened and bloody but oh God, alive... He could've cried. "Niobe." His voice was hoarse as his eyes met hers as she tried to piece the fallen grosteque corpse back together. He frowned, stepping closer. "Niobe." His voice resonated a calm that he didn't quite feel. How could his mother handle this? "Is it him?"

The sound of his voice was almost an instant comfort to her, she looked up at him. Her eyes sparkled and gleamed but not a single tear fell from her gaze. "Yes.." She shivered as she continued to try and piece him back together, but Disillusion had made sure to enjoy this kill and to make it brutal.
"This..is to close." She said as she glanced out past him for a minute, her herd, their herd was just beyond those hills grazing.
The blood was still warm, she looked to Domovoi with a look of terror, "Its still so warm..He cant be far." She started to pick her way towards him, her long fetlocks were clumping together. "We have to go.."
Disillusion watched with a smirk of amusement, before his eyes narrowed in on the stallion, who was this fool? He snarled and his ears flattened slightly, this was not a welcome change but it would be dealt with, the stallion he left them hadnt been a challenge at all.
But as he watched the stallion he noticed how he had seemed relieved to find Niobe alive, maybe this could be interesting..if the stallion cared for his prey this game could indeed be so much more interesting now.

He saw the shiver trace down her spine, a siren's call to a shiver of his own, but he resisted, setting his jaw and stomping a hoof on the hard ground. "This is a warning," he said softly, his tone flat. Knowing that the bloodthirsty kalona was just playing with her emotions, just for the damn thrill. It seriously pissed him off and his ears flattened against his skull.
"Where are we going to go? We can't move the entire herd without sending them into a panic..." His ruby eyes met her gaze and held it, a frown creasing his forehead. "He's never going to stop..." Not until he was dead, his corpse too evil for even crows to feast on.
This time he did shiver, nosing at Niobe's neck, brushing her hair out of her face.

The sun was starting to set behind them, Disillusion watched as the stallion nosed her neck, it was a tender gesture, one that spoke volumes. His fangs flashed out as he bared them, yes this game was getting more interesting by the minute.
Uncurling his wing from around Discord, he glanced at her and nodded. Without word, the bat took flight into the fleeting daylight, letting out a screech as she flew over head the pair. Her master had such plans for that twitty little mare, she thought with a dark gleam in her eyes.
For a moment, her eyes closed and she leaned against him. "Your right..This wasnt one of ours, but he could have been." She said with a soft sigh, she had to protect them. She wouldnt fail them, she wouldnt allow Disillusion to take this...not this from her.
The sound of the bat screech startled her, her head snapped up and her eyes flew open as she looked around wildly, she eyed the bat in the air...she knew that bat, it looked so..
"Look at what you did Niobe." Disillusions deep voice coiled around her like a snake, tightening and choking the air from her lungs.
He stepped forward from the shadows, his eyes traveled over her as if she was some tasty little treat, the look was far to familiar. "His life could have been saved...though he was pathetic.." He glanced over at the remains for a linger minute, his eyes sparkled and his mouth twisted into a grin.
He looked back to Niobe now, the stallion with her completely ignored. "His blood is all over you..How beautiful."
She couldnt speak, she couldnt look away from him, and it wasnt that he held her captive in some sort of trance, but the words he spoke echoed in her mind, it was like the feeling of his fangs against her skin, she shuddered. "Disillusion.."
