N . O . C . T . U . S  Thunder. Rain. Darkness. The night pours on, dark billowing clouds cover the night sky. This was not the night for outings that was for certain. The spring was trying to spring forth, but winter was having it's final say. The rising and clashing of temperatures was cause for a few storms now and then for the past few weeks since he left to search for his sister Naga. She could have been so useful....his key to following his mother to domination. But no, she had to slip away and take off. Naturally his mother practically was livid and selfish enough to have sent hounds from the deepest pits of hell after that girl. Her dark prince being her first in command when it came to the search, whilst she waits in the darkness where she belongs... So now here he is, soaked to the bone with a cold late winter's rain. He who had been under his mothers manipulative wing and sheltered by her, is now sent out into the elements to look for his damned little sister. She who had stolen his place in his mother's inky heart, she who had made him less special......because she had a gift. He hated her for it, even though he should be running with her, comforting her. But he has too much of his mother in his blood...too much of her influence had taken a tight grasp on his mind. There was not much that could deter him from the path that had been sublimitally laid out for him. The young black stag pushed on through hardened and slippery terrain, he knew he was almost to where he wanted to be. The darkness of the storm was making it hard to see where the ice patches, causing Noctus to skitter for balance from slipping every once and a while. The only light source he had was not from stars nor moon, but the occasional flash of lightning. This last flash was helpful, for he could see the silhouettes of horses just a bit further on. He began to trot forward, trying hard to keep his balance. He wanted to get a little closer, just enough so that he could be seen when the lightning struck. He scoped out a spot where he could be easily seen and planted himself. He wished he would have thought to come here in the day time...black horse in the field at night in a storm...great idea. He doesn't feel himself zone out and begins to remember going to this place when he was a young colt, before his sister was born. His mother brought him there when she was there to meet Naga's father. And then crossed it to go to the meadow, where he and his mother lived until just recently. Noctus snorted, realizing how silly he is for just letting himself daydream like that. He flicked his ears one at a time, and then shook himself all over. He hated rain...he couldn't wait for summer to sweep through. He wondered how this summer would treat him, a new place to call home will be interesting. His mother didn't ever like to stay in one place, or make commitments to a place. Though he was not opposed to that. He now feels odd not having his twisted mother by his side. Right now if she were with him, she would be talking to him about what to do. She would be giving him pointers on how to get into someone's head or just telling him to be the one to rise to greatness. It was like sweet...deadly...poison. This would be a first for him, not having her lurking in his shadow.. three | black | busted x shadowmere | stallion | no home | beequeen |
