Lana'thel smiled at the small victory she had won... for the most part the colt had stopped. Good. After all, she was not use to be the less dominate in any situation.... nor would she ever be.
"So.... my fiesty kalona colt... what is your name?" She asked as brought her face closer to him and took a deep breath of his scent. He smelt like the blood and flesh he ate.
She was silent for a moment, but before he had time to answer her first question she spoke once more. "I am the Blood-Queen Lana'thel. And you are on my land..... why had you come here? Answer now... and do not bore me little one, I am not against ending your life. Even if I do like you."
Icecrown made her way back to her masters side.

Demon snarled, names were power... he knew that, but as he heard this mares he couldn't help the shiver that ran down his spine. He had attacked a Blood-Queen? He wasn't sure what it was.... but if the power she had already demonstrated counted for anything he was sure it was a well earned title.
How had been so foolish? If he had thought with his head then surely he would have escaped this fate..... but he hadn't, what had he been thinking?
Then he remembered.... his mothers pearls of wisdom. She was wrong! Demon and his siblings were not the biggest thing out there.... not yet at least, but this humiliation only made him more determined. He would gain in power and standing.... he would earn the genes or strength he had supposibly been gifted by his mother and none exsistant father.
He growled at the questions. He really didn't want to answer but knew as clearly as he could feel the pressure on his chest from her hoof. "Fine...." he finally spat out, "My name is Demon. And the only reason I am in your land is because....." he hesitated for a moment. Admitting he was lost would show a weakness right? But how much weaker could he appear. With a sign of defeat he finally added. "Lost." The world was mumbled, but he felt the disgrace at admitting it all the way to his core.

Lana'thel found herself even more amused. The determination and pigheadedness that the colt exhibited even at this young age made her want to admire him.... just a little. Even when he knew he was defeated he fought, and she could tell that he had only reluctantly told her what she wanted to know.... very reluctantly infact when it came to the fact about why he was in her land.
She chuckled, "Demon...." With a half mocking raise of her eyebrow she spoke once more. "...it suits such a creature of darkness as yourself. But to be lost..." She tutted him again. "Why my little Demon that will not do!" She shook her head but at no point released the pressure her hoof had on his small form, knowing that in a moment of relief he would disappear and her game would be finished.
She moved her head close to his once more, breathing in his delicious scent one more. "Tell me little Demon.... what should I do with you?"
Was she.... teasing him? She smiled, it seemed she really did like him.

Demon was on his guard the whole time, the desire to thrash again.... to get free... was starting to overwhelm him, he didn't like feeling so powerless. Didn't like being seen as inferior... not even for a moment.
His teeth flashed on their own in a snarl, and he had noticed already that the beast holding him captive had not flinched once by his show... she was clearly not scared of him, and part of him didn't blaim her, it wasn't as if he had demonstrated anything to be afraid of.
He remained quiet as she talked to herself, he had no interest on commenting about his name or about his situation.... it would change nothing. Except perhaps.... he could use it to manipulate her? With a grunt, this time to himself more than to her, he reluctantly spoke up. "You should free me.... take me home." If he had been one of his sisters he would have battered his eyelashes for effect, but he wouldn't be caught dead doing that.... so instead he tilted his head to the side softly and looked up at her with doe eyes. All an act.... but maybe it would fool her. Right now Demon had one goal. Get free and get as far away from here as possible.... ok, so it was two goals; but they both lead to one thing. Freedom.

When the colt attempted to manipulate her she roared in laughter once more, it had been a long time she had met someone with so much gall as to attempt such a thing against her. Still, she punished him by increasing the pressure on him as he head leaned in closer. "I prefer the idea of keeping you..... you could become my protector, my warrior... or if you prefer my slave!"
Icecrown voiced an opinion then, her little ears twitching with enthusiasm though her voice revealed none of that, no.... she was as cold as ice, hard as a rock. "I vote for slave m'lady. It is the only way to break someone like him."
Lana'thel looked at her familar, "If you speak again Icecrown.... then you shall be joining him, at least then I will have a use for you!" She snarled at the squirral before returning her attention to the colt before her. "How old are you?" It didn't really matter, she supposed she had already decided to keep him....

Demon cringed at the laughter, but once again forced himself to glare into her eyes.... he knew he was at a disadvantage but he hoped that if he didn't give up that perhaps he could still escape.... plus, he had was starting to believe that as long as his prey didn't give up they could not truely be dismissed as worthless... only those who submitted completely could.
He growled again at her words. She wasn't planning to free him? What did she want from him? Protector? Warrior? Slave? Part of his mind told him lie to her, to tell her what she wanted so that he could run from her side as fast as he could.
Then he heard the words of the creature that had dared attack him earlier, joined with the sudden snap from Lana'thel.... and part of Demon hoped thathe would never find himself in that position. That was probably the only motivation he had to answer her question. "Nine seasons." The words came out through gritted teeth, and his eyes narrowed. He didn't trust her.... not for a moment.

"Only nine....?" She mused, and smiled down at him once more. He wasn't as young as she had first expected. Nearly a teen by her reckoning, yet he seemed to have an untainted.... well, innocence about him. It was as if he had been mollycoddled by his mother or something, a notion that seemed wrong to her given he was a kalona. She knew most Kalonas mothers lack a material instinct unless they had a 'purpose' for their children.... but perhaps that was the case here. Still, she would have suspected them to have trained him a little. Attitude counted for nothing if not supported... and from what she had seen of Demon so far she believed he was throughly underachieving.
She smirked again. She would change that!
"You are weak now my little Demon, but I promise that when I am finished with you, you shall not be!"
And that was the last she said before she stomped her hoof down hard on the front of his head. His body went limp.

Demon had been about to spit and curse and thrash once more at her words, in that moment he knew... she wasn't going to let him go.
But the hit came too quickly. It slammed into his skull with such force that his mind whirled and his eyesight blurred before everything spun into darkness.
That was all he could focus on..... the darkness.
