Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chemosh wasn't as in tune with the rest of his family as his brothers were, he prefered long naps in the shade and being around interesting folks, ones he could LEARN from. As he had figured out early on, intelligence was a way of surviving without having to sully his hooves with any of the violence both sides of his family seemed to enjoy. Though he was not above it either, he prefered a more...elegant approach to getting what he desired.

He picked through the forest, which held many things he favored in life, shade, food and silence. He had spotted a pond through the trees and as he made his way through he noted something verrrry curious. Blood, to be specific, bloody hoof prints. Normally this would send off warning signals for anyone, but he observed yet another thing about these tracks. They were small.

A smile tugged at his already huge grin and his fangs gleamed with a deadly poison...things like this interested him, and when Chemosh was interested...not many things could stand in his way, even if he was still a foal himself. He swished his long shadowy tail and slunk forward, going from shadow to shadow until he froze, a flicker of movement causing him to tense and his ivory eyes to narrow. There it was again! ...He moved silently and finally saw what he had been looking for. A filly. He was nearly disappointed until he saw her hooves. " Ssssso that isss where the blood isss coming from..." he hissed softly " it seeemsss it isss not her own...perhapsss a fight?" he mused to himself, his brothers sometimes got into fights, but rarely did it come to bloodshed, blood was sacred to his family...so where did this blood come from?


He swished his tail enthusiastically, like a hunting cat.

He wondered how he would approach this interest, straight on, maybe sneak up and see how she reacted. Depending on HOW interesting she turned out to be, and capable, she could certainly turn into one of those so called " friends" his mother had told him about. Friends, such a wierd word, but he decided it necessary in life that he have them, but they had to hold their own, no weaknesses left open. He wrinked his little nose and decided to just slink from shadow to shadow till he was spotted. Better to play it safe until he knew what he was getting himself in to.

Chemosh flicked his tail in irritation, tch...she wasn't supposed to have found him that quickly. He certainly couldn't disappear like his brother Anthrax...So he shifted gears and slunk gracefully out of the shadow, his eyes narrowed and a charming (albiet toothy) grin tugging at his lips. " Ahhh, no usssse hiding i sssseee" he crooned, his shadowy tail curling behind him " i appologisssse if i made you...uncomfortable" he wrinkled his nose, his flat ivory eyes taking everything about the headstrong filly in. " i did not know there wasss another around until i sssaw the...blood" he raised an eyebrow slightly " and i'm very, curiousss shall we sssay~ have you killed sssomething recently or isss that just the way they work?" he tilted his head in child like curiosity.

Chemosh was, like his father and his father before him, a snake. Cunning and beautiful even at a young age and he used every bit of it to his advantage, whether it would work the same on everybody, that wasn't his to call. He simply DID.

He blinked owlishly and watched how the filly would respond.

Chemosh smiled, a bit too charmingly for his age and his fangs shined with poison. " I ssseeeee~ well that issss good"

He reguarded the strange filly with some interest, especially her hooves, he listened intently as she informed him about them. " That ISSSsss very interesssting~" he crooned " i have not gone out to hunt today, sssnakes do not eat asss much, and unlike my bothersss, i do not kill sssimply on insssstinct...it takesss time, finesss" he chuckled a bit and watched blood seep from her hooves. Curious. He tilted his head a bit and flicked his tail again " Well thank you for the compliment" he smiled again, though only his canines poked out this time. "Ah, i'm being rude~ excussse me. My name isss Chemosh by the way...might i have the..." he paused for a moment, thinking of the word "pleasssure of knowing yourssss?" he hissed.

Chemosh swished his long tail behind him, listening to Eira intently. He knew he had some sort of charm, once prey fell into his gaze they would rarely escape, though he was still young, untrained. He blinked and responded smoothly " i undersssstand~" he crooned " there isss very little here worthy to hunt, killing isss an easssy sssecond nature." He followed her gaze back to her hooves and his smile widened just a mite more. She was interesting for sure.


He watched her carefully, his eyes half mast. While he knew he was strong for a colt, he also knew she was nothing to laugh at and thus kept his guard up. " Eira Linn, issss it?" He smiled sharply " Eira issss a nice name" He chuckled a bit " as for what i'm doing out here, i wasss looking for ssssomething...or ssssomeone interesssting. And ssssome food of courssse, the foressst issss an easssy place for ssssuch thingsss, dont you agree?"

A sparkle lit his flat opalescent eyes as she seemed to warm up to him. " Why~ thank you again Eira, i appreciate the complimentss. Though, i am not asss...interesssting as my brotherss, but mother sssaysss i have my own...charm." he chuckled darkly and flicked his tail again, the shadowy matter curling easily around his hooves and through sticking plants on the ground, as if they weren't even there.

"Ssssometimesss i dont know what she meansss by that~" He flicked an ear in thought, getting back to the conversation at hoof " yessss, i have a lot of experience in foressst gamesss, even if thingssss ssseem sssilent there are creaturesss, food to be had."

He cracked another sharp smile " if you are interesssted in...sssnacks perhaps we should go hunt sssome?"
