"Damn... damn..." Ominos muttered as he trudged along, his temper blazing like a wildfire in a wheat field. His thoughts blurred together, just as the days has blurred together: the tiny, half-kalona filly, beautiful and dangerous all in the same body; his anger at letting her go, at never learning her name; his seduction and betrayal of the Cerynei mare, how true and genuine her love had been, how he had ALMOST had her, had almost... almost...
He paused, his head drooping down as an angry growl began in his chest, escalating into an angry roar as his head whipped up towards the heavens. He slammed his feet into the pine-needle-covered ground, small bits of twigs and pebbles flying into the air. His tail whipped out behind him, seeking something, anything, to break and maim. It crashed into a small pine, sending the top half of the tree flying, while the trunk remained rooted to the ground, splinters poking up like the jagged teeth of a shark. He roared all the more, breaking this and that, mussing up the ground, slapping his wings against his sides, and butting his head against tree trunks. He finally stopped, his heart beat calming and anger receding, and a new pain surfacing in the back of his mind. A splinter of wood stuck out from his tail, while small rivulets of blood trickled down his nose. His feet were sore from smashing the small boulders littered among the grass and discarded needles. He let out a long groan, the closest he could ever get to showing his anguish.
He shook his head, ignoring the pain from the gash on his snout and the wood in his tail. He didn't care--his life seemed empty, as stupid as it sounded. He knew that it was wrong, but he missed that little filly, missed her spunkiness and superior beauty. He'd never see her again... and for some reason, it made him feel useless, empty. He hated himself, everything he did and thought. Yet he could not bring himself to purge her from his mind.
He sighed, a small rivulet of water slipping from his golden eye, before he turned and continued on, battered, bloody, and broken.
