[bg=#54372C] Even though snow fell throughout the other places within Isola, it seemed to barely make it's presence known within Fuoco. Perhaps that was because the land was located upon an active volcano, and it was relatively warmer here than the rest of the isle. Upon entering Aiden's lands, Malice could tell the difference between the wintry wonderland of Isola, and the warmness she called home with the rest of the Zunden. The snowflakes that had fallen upon her ashen hide soon melted, small drops of water falling to the ground as she walked. Ears twisted atop her head, listening for any sounds of the other Zunden attempting to approach her. Lately, she hadn't been wanting to socialize, not even be near another equine. Something just set her off, and she wasn't wanting to control her anger. Nostrils flared slightly, and an eagle called overhead, the bird circling slowly above. Malice paused in her walk, crimson eyes glancing up to the cloudy skies. Within mere seconds, she spotted the brown and white eagle who had called, and the bird of prey was then racing to the ground, soon landing before the mare. Mistress Malice. The large bird bowed its head to the Zunden mare, and a fore hoof stomped the ground in frustation. Stop with the formalities, Rehor. You know how I despise them, the mare hissed at the eagle, and the bird hopped slightly on his feet, his feathers ruffling ever so slightly. Yes, yes. I'm sorry... I-I, Stop dithering, you pathetic excuse of flesh! What is it you want, or have you merely come to waste my time again? Flames shot from the mare's nostrils as she snorted, her ears flicked back against her skull in agitation at the bird. Shaking her head, she pranced in place, quite eager to continue with her walk, and not listen to anything this bird had to say to her. Well, Malice. I have been spying as you have asked. Nothing really important to report. Char's herd is still in shambles, and Lassan's seems to be growing slowly. Felwood is desolate, though I have seen the hell-horse, Hannibal, wandering here and there. However, I doubt he is much a threat with such a small herd size. The eagle reported, standing stock still as he stared at the mare's hooves, knowing that he could be killed by them. Ears flicked atop Malice's head, and she shook her forelock out of her crimson eyes. And that is all? I do hope it is, because it's nothing new to me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way. The eagle moved quickly out of the mare's way as she walked forward, heading up into the sky, obviously taking the mare's words as a signal to leave. Malice's eyes closed momentarily, then reopened, a small fire circling around the iris, as her thoughts roamed. She wasn't thinking about anything in particular, yet her hooves moved her toward the hot lava pools, one of the many places she would train herself to be better. Once there, she paused, her ears flicking forward and her nostrils quivering, taking in the exhilarating smell of sulfur. She moved towards the middle, the heat of the pools drying her coat quickly. Crimson eyes looked alive, as fire circles her hooves as she walked. She wasn't going to train, just stand here, enjoying the raw heat and energy the pools gave off. ! when you come for me (linkin park) ! 568 words

[bg=#583b3b] The stag silently watched the snow fall, and quickly melt, as it hit the red ground of Fuoco. He was lost in his own thoughts at the moment. The thing that was on his mind was his daughter Firefly. During a recent fight she had been in Aiden had been very unhappy with her performance. She had no sense of how to really fight. All she was doing was blindly attacking in some sort of rage that even Aiden couldn't understand why she was in. She needed to be broken of that right away. A thought then struck him. Maybe Malice could do something with his daughter. Personally Aiden did not want to deal with Firefly, she didn't like him too much since her mother's death. Yes, she would listen to him, but he did not want to spend a whole lot of time with her, even if they were getting along slightly better than they had before. Aiden quickly found an eagle and asked him where Malice was. Luckily, she wasn't too far away. The Zunden broke into a slow lope and headed in the direction where the eagle said that he would find Malice. As he loped, he realised that he still had a slight limp from his previous battle. Those damned horses had gotten away. It was all Firefly's fault. The fire Lord vaguely wondered if Malice had heard of the scuffle. He figured that one of the eagles or pheonixes would have told the rest of the Zunden by now. Perhaps if she had heard it would make her want to work with Firefly. Why was his daughter so impulsive and never though a thing through? She obviously did not get that from him. The stallion slowed as he saw Malice several strides away. "Hello Malice." he said as he walked up to her. "I haven't seen you around here for quite some time." he mentioned. "What have you been up to?"

[bg=#54372C] Sounds from overhead caused her to look up, noticing a phoenix trailing across the sky. Of course, the recently turned birds were allies of the Zunden, much like the ravens were to the damned Lights. Nostrils flared, and she suddenly turned once Aiden appeared beside her. Crimson eyes darkened ever so slightly, and the mare had stopped her pacing, turning her head to look at the Lead. I haven't been in the lands since winter has set in, she said shortly. Or since Killjoy joined the herd,

[/color] she thought, nostrils flaring ever so slightly at the stallion next to her. You would've known if you had looked for me at all. The eagles would've told you, or on of the phoenixes. Her words were hissed out. Where did this anger come from? Ears flicked back against her skull, and she snorted, fire escaping into the heat filled air.

The thought of Killjoy moseying up to Aiden caused her to stomp a fore hoof, and she turned away from Aiden. She was jealous, oh, how she was jealous. She didn't know why, but she was. Fire danced along her legs, and she wanted to turn and hurt Aiden. But something was holding her back from that. Turning back around, she glared at the Lead, her jaw clenched. Nothing else was said by the mare, as she stood there, staring at him. Tail flicked behind her, the fire disappearing from around her legs.[/size][/blockquote]

[bg=#583b3b] "I see." Aiden said quietly when Malice said that she had not been in the lands since winter had set in. Aiden was curious as to where she had been and why she had been there. There was certainly enough food in the land to sustain the herd for the winter. Why in all of hell would she want to leave? Aiden ignored the quesiton nagging in the back of his mind when she hissed out her next words. The stallion lifted his head a bit and put his ears back at her sudden change in personality. "Well why would I come looking for you when you weren't needed?" he snapped back bitterly. "Over the past few months you have changed Malice. Quite frankly it has made you unpleasant to be around, even for a Zunden. Now what brought this on?" he almost demanded of her. He truly was curious as to what was going on with his friend, but if she was going to act like this, why stay around her?

[bg=#54372C] Question, so many questions. Ears lifted ever so slightly from her head, only to flatten at his tone. Why was he getting an attitude back? Fire escaped into the air as she snorted, and crimson eyes stared the stallion down. Why? WHY? Because of her, the mare hissed, wondering if he knew who Malice was speaking of. Of course he does. He probably was hanging around with her while you were out looking for other Zunden,

[/i] she thought, nostrils quivering with that sudden rage again. Once more she wanted to lash out at her friend, to rip into his hide with her teeth, feel the precious blood spilling from his body. She held back, though, and stomped a hoof on the ground, flames glittering into the air.

Just tell me this, Aiden... do you even like her? Because if that is the case, I'll back off, she had began pacing before the great stallion, her ears still drawn tight against her skull, tail slapping at her hindquarters in frustration. Was he that much of a fool to realize how she felt for him? She had told him before, how she felt, all the way back when they were foals. But, did he really understand? Shaking her head slightly, crimson eyes danced with the fire that raged within her body, that wanted to explode like when the eagles were turned into phoenixes for the first time.[/size][/blockquote]

[bg=#583b3b] Aiden eyed the mare as she venomously hissed her reply back to him. "What are you even on about Malice?" he asked. "Who the hell is 'her'?" Aiden truly could not think of who his old friend was speaking of. Her. There were many hers that Aiden was associated with. Malice, for one, his daughter, several eagles and phoenixes, and a couple other herd members. Which one had her knickers in a twist? Aiden's mind didn't even register Killjoy, the spunky, interesting fae who had come to his land in the middle of the winter. Instead, Aiden thought she was talking about Firefly. "Why shouldn't I be with her Malice?" he hissed quietly, without giving time for her to answer his previous inquiry. Malice then began to ask if he liked her. "If you must know, then yes I do. I did not like her at first, in fact something in me wanted to swipe her pitiful existence off this earth. Then, I don't know exactly what, but something happened that made me like her. Perhaps I am even growing to love her." he spat. Firefly had been a thorn in his side just until recently. Ever since she had grown up a bit, she had been trying to mold herself into her father's image. It was safe to say that it was working. "You don't need to 'back off' anything Malice." he said bluntly. "But if you feel like you should, I'm not the one stopping you. I don't see why you even think you should, but I don't understand how a mare's mind works and probably never will." Aiden;s maroon optics narrowed as he waited for Malice to say something, anything that was a bit better than this conversation.

[bg=#54372C] Everything that had been filling Malice suddenly drained out of her, and the fire that had previously been dancing within her eyes disappeared, leaving her with a hollow, astonished look. Crimson eyes stared, in disbelief, at her friend, ears tilted forward only slightly. You... you do like her... Obviously, they were not on the same page. Shaking her head slightly, she turned around, a hollow feeling suddenly filling up her heart, wrenching it and making her want to shed tears once again. Taking in a shaky breath, the mare closed her eyes, trying to keep her world from crashing in around her. Eyes suddenly opened, and she whirled back around, staring dead straight at Aiden. How can you like Killjoy?! You just met her?! Feelings like that don't just happen overnight, she burst out, her body trembling as she stood there before the grand stallion. Her voice wavered, tears welling within her eyes, on the verge of a breakdown. She had sworn that she wasn't going to cry again, to break down in front of her old friend again, but here she was, on the verge of it once more. ! love the way you lie >> eminem ft. rihanna << ! 189 words

[bg=#583b3b] "Yes I do." Aiden boldly confirmed when Malice stuttered the words how. The stag was at the end of his rope with Malice right now. Why should it even matter to her? She had no say in his life. If she felt jealously or anger, or some other stupid emotion she had no need to be feeling, then she could go deal with it herself. If she chose to be that way around him, then he would just see to it that he would not be around her much. It wouldn't be hard to do. Aiden's face twisted in confusion when Malice said something about Killjoy. "Killjoy?!" he asked in a surprised manner. What they hell? This conversation was much different than he had expected. "Is that who we are talking about? I thought we were talking about my daughter." he said as relief crashed up on his face. He had almost forgotten that Killjoy even existed. He hadn't seen her for several weeks. He only knew she was here because of the eagles and phoenixes that spoke to her.

[bg=#54372C] Crimson eyes blinked a few times, and she shook her head slightly. Wait.. you were talking about.. Firefly? Nostrils flared, and she started pacing again, her ears flicking wildly upon her head. All this time, I thought you had started liking Killjoy, that was why you were always gone and not anywhere where I could find you. That is part of the reason why I left the territory, because I thought that you had decided that she was more important than... her words drifted off, and she looked at him. More important than me,

[/i] she thought, but didn't want to say the words. It was selfish, yes, but that was how she felt. Shaking her head, she put a small smile upon her maw, and gathered herself.

It's good that you're finally getting to be close with your daughter. She could prove to be a very good ally to the Zunden, if she doesn't plan on running off like every other mare who has entered and what not. She was referring to the spy, Aithne. Oh, how this mare got under her skin. Nostrils flared angrily, that same lively fire dancing within her eyes once more.[/size][/blockquote]

[bg=#583b3b] "No Malice. I haven't even spoken to the mare in a long time." mentioned. This was very curious indeed. Why was Malice so concerned with him talking to, or liking, Killjoy? Aiden was not the best when it came to emotions, or emotional bonding. Most of it was voer his head which was why he never bothered with it. There were horse he liked and disliked and that was that. He hated every other horse but the Zunden, but they all felt that way, it was in their genes. By getting to be with, and like, Firefly more, Aiden felt a strange feeling,a connection, with his daughter that he did not know what it was. If it was so hard for him to even show affection to his own flesh and blood, then why did Malice think he was capable of showing that to others? He really would never understand the way a mare's mind worked. "Yes." Aiden mused as he looked up to the sky. "Speaking of Firefly, I have a favour to ask of you Malice." he said, returning his maroon optics to the mare in front of him. "I was wondering if you could help me train Firefly. She has strog powers, but she doesn't know how to properly control herself when using them. She is fine with controling her powers, but she does not know how to hold back anger and fight with her head."
