» A limp body of a mare lay nestled on the middle of the beach, blood and ash staining the once-chalky-white sand. Chunks of the mare's flesh was burned to a black chrisp, and other parts were in worse condition; muscle and bone were exposed in various places, black skin fringed at the edge of the gaping holes in the brightly-colored fae. It was only obvious what had happened here; another victum of the Zuden's "fun" games.

» The sky was dark above, and the sea had turned gray and vicious, lashing out at the beach and spitting foam. Thunder would occasionally growl overhead, threatening to release the rain that was so heavy in the cloud's bellies. Out of the swaying trees appeared a young mare. Her pelt was black and white, splotched with patches of gray, and her legs looking like they were dipped in orange paint, like the color of the mare lying on the beach. She had known something was wrong when her mother hadn't shown up to meet her at the creek. Tan irises widened as she spotted the dead caracas lying on the beach, maw going a-gape.

"Mother..?"

» The word was strange in her mouth. The mare numbly walked forward, her movements jerky and robotic, eyes never leaving the scorched body of her mother. The wind whipped their manes, whispering and whistling in her ears. She stopped right by her mother's side, her gut wrenching at the discusting damage that was done. She attempted to swallow over the lump in her throat as she lowered her head slowly and gave her mother's cheek a nudge. Sightless green eyes gazed back at the young mare. Gently, the mare closed her mother's eyelids with her muzzle. She flattened her ears, and layed down beside her, resting her head on the dead mare's barrel. Her mother, Tigeress, was murdered. Mink raised her head and let out a long, agonized whinny as the clouds finally broke, pouring down rain that disgused the young mare's tears.

» "Oh my god..."
Mink heard a young, female voice, and it was pretty close to hher and her mother. The mare hurried up and rushed to her feet, wobbling slightly at first just like a newborn. Her head whipped around and spotted a filly standing not to far away, her head down. Mink's eyes blazed and she bared her teeth, ears pinned against her skull as she stared at the younger mare. "Why are you here?" she snarled coldly, just as a crack of thunder exploded overhead. She was drenched now; her fur was darker and her long, wavy mane was plastered to her neck, and she was overall dripping from the rainwater. She continued to glare at the filly. "Well?!" she demanded, voice filled with hysteria.

[/size] The filly's baby blue eyes widened and she backed up a couple feet. "I.. I.. I just wanted to get away from Orpeus.. I was just wondering around and came across you.." Her voice trembled and she backed up again. "I'm sorry.. I just had to get away from that horrible place.. He's always beating my mother, and he even forced her, and she's going to foal in about a month.." Everything was so overwhelming.. She didn't even mean to stumble across the mare and.. her mother.. "I..I.." The young mare blinked, watching to see the older filly's reaction.[/font][/blockquote][/size] [/color]

» Mink continued to glare at the younger filly as she began to stammer her explaination out. She was thoroughly annoyed and pissed off that the filly had disturbed her in her grief, but she listened to her, ears flicking and expression hard.

» The poor little thing was so innocent-looking, and she seemed like she had gone through a lot for such a young age. But *I* have gone through a lot too. My mother was just fucking murdered! That thought almost made the mare cry again, but she blinked several times, and tried to see through the rain as it picked up and poured even more. The little filly was still sillouetted against the dark storm where the raindrops bounced off her small bodice in a small ring.

» Suddenly Mink's hard expression dropped, and her head lowered, water dripping off of her muzzle. She gave a sigh, and turned away a bit towards her mother. "Well, life's cruel, kid. You learn to live with it.." she said, and turned to gaze at her mother's face thoughtfully, face somber. Eventually she looked up at the little filly. "Whats your name?" she asked, ears flicking.

[/size] The young filly nodded through the rain. "I know... I just wanted to get away for a while.." She shrugged, obviously calming down from her scare. "Annabelle. And your's?" Annabelle paused, looking down then back up. "And I'm sorry for coming across you like this.." She said, again, quietly. [/font][/blockquote][/size] [/color]

Orpheus had returned from scouting Inferno’s surrounding territories only to see that some of his herd was missing. He could do nothing about his mother and Haize leaving – they had already made it back to the safety of Marut’s lands. But, Annabelle, well, it was most unfortunate for her that she was not far enough out of his reach. The wind told of her exact location, and it appeared that she was not alone. The scent of another mare and death filled his nares. This was more than enough to spark the half-breed’s interest.

“Well, well, Annabelle, where exactly did you think you would run off to, dear?” The stallion hissed as he came into sight of both females. “Head back home, child,” he snapped, “it is far too dangerous in this unmarked turf. Do you not know what lurks these lands? Haven’t you heard of the hell hound,” his father, “that is scouring Isola Dei Dei? Being so far from the protection of Inferno is not wise.” His last few words slithered between clenched teeth as if implying he would turn into said threat if she did not heed his warning.

» Mink blinked at the little filly. Annabelle. The young mare nodded her head curtly. "My name's Mink," she replied, turning reluctantly towards the filly. She shrugged her shoulders at her. "Its fine, you didn't know.." she mumbled, barely audible over the roar of the storm.

» Movement out of the corner of her eye brought Mink to attention, and she spotted a large stallion coming out of the trees and onto the beach. Immediatly she didn't like this guy, and it was obvious that he was the "Orpheus" that Annabelle had been talking about. Mink pinned her ears, and straightened up her posture before walking over to stand by Annabelle's side protectively. She narrowed her eyes at the stallion. "Who're you?" she asked in a growl, flicking her banners.

[/size] The young filly smiled softly, but it soon faded as she heard Orpheus's voice. Annabelle's ears flicked back as she closed her eyes, flinching. "I.. I'm sorry.." Annabelle's ebony and ivory tail fell between her hind legs and she lowered her head. All she wanted was some time away from everything! Not for him to show up and take her back..

But her ears soon drew forward as the mare, Mink, stepped beside her. Annabelle swallowed hard, eyes flicking back and forth between the two. shit was the only word that came to mind at the moment.. "Mink.. Don't.." Annabelle pleaded, baby blues flicking back to Orpheus. [/font][/blockquote][/size] [/color]

Orpheus smirked slightly as he watched Annabelle's submission . The younger mare had always been easier to keep in line than her mother. And, yes, Orpheus was cruel at heart and on occasion took his rage out on the innocent, he generally would not hurt a herd member who followed his slightly tyrannical lead.

While it seemed the stallion had no intention on acting harshly, the other mare's interference turned his rage back on. "Mare," he snarled out between clenched ivories, "I strongly suggest you learn your role on this island. You are, even if not in my herd, a subordinate. Back off and go on with your business before things turn ugly." With that, Orpheus turned his back to the two mare. His tail slapped against his hide impatiently. "Come on, Annabelle."

[L Y N X !]

» Mink gave a snort. Her mother had taught her that stallions were just big hunks of useless ego. And this one right here wasn't any different than the others. Quite obnoxious, really. The young mare raised her tiara slightly higher again, stamping a hoof. "Says the horse who doesn't even know how to keep his herd in line. Really? Maybe if you were a proper leader, poor Annabelle wouldn't have run away. So you sir, I do think, are the subordinate."

» Mink blinked at the stallion through the rain, her head turning to the little filly. "I think I just did," Mink told her, and smirked, turning back to the big stallion infront of them. "She only just got here. She doesn't have to leave," she told him, her voice turning dark with a hinted threat.
