Iona thought she'd seen it all. She hadn't been on this planet that many years, but enough so that the horrors she'd seen had scarred her for life. Iona didn't even know what was wrong with her mental state, like some other horses may have noticed. She thought she was fine, if just a 'little' off when it came to her thought process.
Well, anyways, the chocolate flaxen had been hanging out in the meadow that day, enjoying the peace and quiet. However, she was still heavily unsettled. The mare had been on edge for a number of suns if not moons. Something had happened in the land of Beqanna, something that she couldn't place. The land had changed, somehow... and though Iona wanted to go and find out what the cause was, the strange feelings she'd been getting were enough to keep her within the Chamber.
Perhaps the cause of one of the strange feelings was because of the creature that had just come wandering into the meadow? Iona had never seen anything more unusual; flesh that seemed to be literally rotting off the bone. Blood stains marring the animal's coat. Falcon-like talons sticking out from its hooves - wait, what? Talons from its hooves?
Iona narrowed her eyes to get a better look at the creature. Even from here, she could pick up its putrid stench. The mare fought the urge to shake her head to get rid of the smell; she'd picked up the scents of worse.
Instead, she took a step closer, both intrigued and cautious by what this creature was. Deciding it would be the best option, Iona let out a call to the other members of the kingdom, any horse that could hear her, to come and get a vantage point of the situation unfolding in the Chamber's meadow.
