howl at the moon / trissy, any - Torture - 01-24-2018

Torture

She remains just behind his prominent thoughts, dancing and coiling like some unpredictable cobra. He often reminisces over their short time together (over the way she rolled beneath his body, over the way her dreaded locks fell against her shoulders, over the way the thicket closed around them like a protective curtain). Her request had not fallen on deaf ears, but he had chosen to ignore her.

He’d explored Beqanna’s wilderness until he grew familiar with the various trails — both thick and thin — that scattered themselves across the land. He remained alone until the scents of his past homes (scents of mates and herds and children and open plains and thick, foreign woodland) were drowned by the scents of his new home. He ran into a few new enemies and acquired a few new scars.

But his legs are restless as ever. He is an alternate version of the ghost of his mother. While she finds her peace and wanderlust satisfied among the fog of the Valley and the curve of her lover’s hip, the dark son finds no relief from the ache in his chest and the disquiet in his bones. So he turns his nose in the direction of the scents he found scattered across her ebony hide.

Although he is wild and untamed, the manners taught in the days of his childhood stick with him. He paces the edge of the border, teeth gnawing and muscles quivering. He is silent aside from the quiet flashes of breaths that leave his nose. A gentle spring breeze catches the flyaways of his forelock, sending them into the deep of his eyes, and he tosses his head impatiently.

He doesn’t call for her. She already knows he’s here.

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Loess has been good to her. A place to call home, a stallion to call her own, women with which to fraternize and strangers to invite to stay. Diplomacy, belonging, it suits the woman more than any may ever have guessed from her former ways - feral eyes and reckless heart, a mountain-dwelling wraith of all things wild and unwary. Still, however, these characteristics stick to her skin, showing themselves in the way her unkempt coat is dull, in the way her wavy locks fall past her shoulders, and in the way her black eyes gleam with an unnatural abandon.

He was like his mother, and she was like hers. Both of them; with Kotaro's husky voice and fierce loyalty to her land, and with Peccatrice Dea's fire and glower. Altogether however she is her own entity, an existence untethered to the Queens of the far, far distant past. In this land, she is nothing, really. Nothing except her own name:

Trissy.

He is pacing the border, muscles flexing and causing his black coat to gleam in the sunlight. She stands not far off, admiring the way his jaw works to crush his own teeth, and the way his breath trumpets across the distance between them to send chills down her spine. When at last she does move towards him, a knowing smile is curled across her lips, hips swaying gently behind her.

"Took your sweet time, Torture." She states bluntly, coming to rest in front of him, drawn to her full fourteen hands proudly. The wind billows her mane and tail, as it does his; they stand, two black shadows on the opposite side of an invisible line, staring at one another in silence. The stallion, massive; the mare, refined. At a distance, there is no denying their pleasing aesthetic.

Her smile widens. It must kill him that she does not touch him first. Her land, her rules. "Welcome."

Torture

He might never be one for the kingdom life. While his sister feels comfortable in the rhythm of her diplomatic endeavors (the chatter of the field, the lull of a walk to another kingdom, the drone of peaceful talk), the untamed man knows his soul cannot sing that sort of song. He is constantly moving, constantly changing. He is strung too ruggedly and bored too easily to be involved in something like diplomatic kingdom life.

Perhaps he could be better suited for the military lifestyle, but even then the metal on his shoulders and the clang of armor in his ears would not suit him entirely.

She appears from the froth of Loess to stand before him, wild eyes dancing and intoxicating hips swaying. She taunts him candidly while his dark eyes wind along the length of her petite body, following the curve of her back and the angles of her legs. It’s only when she welcomes him that his gaze finds hers.

A grating, smoky laugh leaves his throat. “I won’t stay long.” He figures she knows this — they are made of similar blood and bone and he’s sure she can feel the way his legs are restless. He has wandered many places, conquered many queens, lead many herds and this place will not be much different. Perhaps he will never find peace, cursed to wander many lands and see many things.

It truly doesn’t sound too bad to him and it hasn’t done him wrong thus far.

“Are you going to let me in or just stand there and tease me?”
