Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wind blew passed, ruffling her feathers and carrying the perfume of the flowers that were entangled in her wings. A mildly aggravated growl left her maw as she looked out to her lands. She had always been known as the tyrant her father would be proud to call his daughter, but as of late her violent temper had been growing worse and worse. It had been a little over a year since she found her true king and still she'd not been able to birth him cubs.

This fact was the source of her anger. While she has already had two litters during her time as Queen, she still wanted more. She especially wanted cubs with her new love. Her tail flicked as her agitation continued to rise but that agitation melted when a familiar voice greeted her ears. "Over here my beautiful nightmare."

A purr echoed in her through upon receiving the rough n** on her hip. His growl of affection that echoed in his throat as he nuzzled her throat caused her blood to boil. He never failed in driving her to heat even if such drive was not intended. Word of someone dark being on her lands caused her thoughts to suspect a friend of hers, but it couldn't be him. He would have alerted her of his approach. Not knowing who it was caused her to frown in contemplation.

Another purr left her throat when his fangs nipped her ear and her claws dug into the earth, showing the pleasure she got from it. "Yes m'love. I think finding this darkness would be best. Perhaps in doing so we will find something most rewarding." With poise and grace, she stood and moved passed her kip hip checking him as she did so a dragging her tail feathers beneath his chin.

While Discord would otherwise gut anyone who tried to take lead or to lead her around, she'd not even try such a thing to Jivan. The respect and affection she held for him could not be measured and aside from her father, he was the only male she'd allow herself to follow blindly.

"Why do you think this darkness is here?"

Discord scented the air and was able to smell the threads of magic swirling freely about the air...or rather she could feel it. The scent that met her nose was earth and something foreign...something that didn't smell natural at all. "That is a good question...then again I have a feeling there is no set price. Perhaps we'll have to offer something of interest. However, we won't know what to offer if we don't even know what it could give us in return."

She fell silent again, keeping in step with her king. Just up ahead there stood a figure. Holding her head high like the queen she was she approached the dark one. "Who are you and why have you come to our lands?"

The mage addressed Discord with a simple glance before its maw twisted into a smile most devious. "I come bearing a solution to those who lack the fertility need to bare life...but one must tickle my fancy if I am to consider them worthy of such gifts."

Discords eyes widened at the prospect. She could finally gift her King with cubs. It took everything in her to contain herself and hold her composure. Slowly she looked to Jivan with questioning eyes. Did he think it was of any worth? "What do you think love?"

"Indeed it does, but what could we possibly offer them? Any other time I'd simply use threats or just take what I wanted...but something tells me that won't get us anywhere." She spoke in a hushed tone, one that only Jivan's ears would hear. She would never offer her cubs up but perhaps there was a way to perhaps give her cub to them on terms where they'd not be a captive or placed in any form of servitude.

"Perhaps allow the dark one to choose one of our babes as an apprentice? They'd be able to hone their natural abilities while gaining others...but only when they are of age."

"That could very well work and is much better. However...as far as the soul offering goes...what if he already has a number of them under his command? You think he'd actually go for such an offer?"

Discord returned his affections before facing the stranger and taking a step forward.

"My King and I have come up with an agreement on what we could offer you for this give you proclaim to have. If you give me the ability to bare his young, he in return will give you a soul he harbors, to command and do with as you wish for all time. We are sure that you have never come across one such as this for there is nothing like them dwelling within any planes between this world and beyond. We will also allow you to come and visit our children later in life to offer them your wisdom as you see fit. Do we have a deal?"

She stood tall and proud waiting to discover if the mages words were truth. If they were not he'd not only have to worry about Jivan tearing him apart but he'd have to worry about her and the wrath of her bloodline.
