|Steed laid on the ground, motionless. Orbs, however, were still open. But all in all… he was somewhat alive, though no breath remained in body. Reflection could be seen in them, they remained both full of life yet dead. Soul could hear they calls of his loved ones. His felt disembodied. He could see his body on the ground before him, and his mother, sister, friends, and Lightning. He was floating up it seemed till he was surrounded by a darkness. Hooves touched solid ground as the darkness swallowed him. Am I dead? He wondered aloud, his voice echoed in the stillness of the strange place. No. came a chorus of familiar voices from behind. The steed spun around and gasped with fear. Never had he seen such a sight. Before him stood a band of stallions, each were twice his size, head were the size of a dragon’s. There seemed to be ten at least, all moved about restless, each step sounded like thunder. Their bodies looked to be dipped in blood and their manes were flames of fire that burned, lighting up a small part of the darkness around the band. And their tails, not hair nor flames, but each tail was of a snaking form of a serpent. Their tails hissed and showed their poisonous fangs as the stallions restless stomped their thundering hooves and tossed their flaming manes; black smoke rose from their nares. The odds were one to ten. Shifter stood small before the leader of the band, who was slightly larger than the rest of the beasts. Frightened? The chorus of voices questioned, for they spoke as one. Shifter honestly nodded his head. Whatever hope he had before of destroying the beasts for good to save his family tasted bitter in his mouth. How could he ever take on a band of the beasts! One… maybe… but ten! Nevertheless… Shifter stood as tall and proud as he could. His heart failed him, it drenched itself in fear, but even still he felt proud. He decided that if he was to be taken down, he would do it with honor. Thoughts drifted to those on the outside as the leader of the band stepped closer, the earth shook beneath him as the beast toward over the smaller ebony steed. Is thou ready to face death? Ancestors laugh and toss their colossal, flaming heads, growing even more restless to finish the steed off. Shifter smiled slightly, wishing Firelight could see him now as he prepared to answer….|
