The Devil and his Ghost 6

Ghost continued to watch him with an intelligent, knowledgeable glare. Gremlin had by then retreated behind the other mare, ears pinned with irritation at needing to be saved, but otherwise very grateful for the great ghost like mare's interference. Ghost's elegant, regal stance held that of an intimidating nature, she looked into the stallion's glowing red eyes, reading so many emotions easily, his posture, and his eyes, gave it all away to easily. "I should expect that you apologize to the mare brave enough to challenge you, even if somewhat foolishly. I myself, would not suggest challenging me stallion, if you take this statement as yet another petty dash in your over bearing ego." Ghost's tone held a forceful, quiet, patient streak, that all in all, showed she wasn't one to be fucked with.

"I'll apologize for nothing, harlot." His deep voice was laced with venom. The sight of Gremlin hiding made him laugh deeply. "Sweet thing, I would have had you, you know. I was so very close...." He reared up, then brought his front end slamming down, splitting a small stone under hoof. Ghost's eyes narrowed dangerously, pinning her ears slightly, as he brought his hoof down, she reared up, kicking forward with powerful hooves, smashing them down, showering the ground with sparks, not attacking, just a mere show of power.

"Watch your tongue, insolent coward. If you were to have harmed this mare, i would have castrated you, and made sure you never got such a chance again." Ghost watched Diabolus, disgusted by his mere mention of harming Gremlin. Ghost had met Gremlin many a times before, they shared these plains as friends and protectors. Ghost had no patience for insolent whelps with no idea of their heritage, and whilst their arrogance ran so sturdy in their veins, it may as well have clotted their arteries. Her actions surprised him, and his ears almost touched above his head. He snorted soot, and unknowingly took a small step back. Who is this mare?Ghost watched him, then turned and murmured in a kind tone, "Go on back home to your brother, Gremlin, I can handle him on my own." she smiled a small, eery smile, but it was a pretty smile that lit up her face. Gremlin nodded, cantering off. Ghost's eyes slid back to the stallion, why was he looking at her like that? She snorted slightly, watching him, ready to stop him if he made a move to follow Gremlin.


His body was still, only his eyes moved as he watched his first out of 26 hunts, get away. It doeasn't matter, it wouldn't be hard to find her again. I need no sleep, but she does. Unless this curious mare decides to guard her. Ghost feinted him, lunging slightly forward, ears pinned, teeth bared, "Don't you dare even think of tracking her down later, arrogant half blooded whelp." Ghost's voice was commanding, cutting, sharp, not someone to be argued with, she tossed her head towards him, her horn gleaming slightly in the moon light, sharp, good for cutting. She hated how he watched her friend, how he looked ready to bolt after her. Like she'd allow it. Ghost finally stood perfectly still, "Now, let's try and be civil, you may ask me a question, and I will answer, but I will start by saying this, my name is Umbra Caelum, Ghost Sky, Ghost. Who are you, and why do you hunt my friend, a protector of these plains?" Her odd mood change made Diabolus's ears flick back, but not flat. He tucked his chin in towards his nuck and pulled his weight to his hindquarters. Halfblood? Whelp? Civility, what nonsense. The urge to hunt was still strong; he wanted to run, to fight, to unleash his energy, and this mare wanted to talk? Something must be loose in this mare's head!

"Don't be rude stallion, I still have half a mind to castrate you, as well as rip your throat out for such disgraceful, disrespectful behaviour." She watched him calmly, the perfect example of cool and collected it seemed, just a tad bit menacing, but not malicious. She saw the way he eyed her, as though she were mad, hah, if he wanted to take off, she'd follow, to ensure Gremlin's safety, she assured herself calmly.
