Temptation was roaming in his favorite shaded area as usual, and his mind was filled with plots and ideas that he hoped to accomplish soon. The sun was much too hot for the day, and he cast himself away since he did enjoy some self-time from his family. His siblings and him had spent the morning hunting with their father, and once that lesson was over, everyone had their own time to do as they wished. Usually Temptation spent the rest of the day with his brother, but today he felt the need to wander on his own a bit. He rarely left his brother's side, since being a twin was a miraculous thing. But he supposed it was alright for now, since it had been awhile since he had visited his favorite grove in the forest.

The grove was wonderful because it was so silent. Very few birds dared to chirp, and many creatures avoided the scenery as well. The stallion could do a lot of things in that forest, whether he was letting out some rage, critically thinking, or just napping to himself. But for now, he felt the need to critically think, as usual.

And that he did. He curled himself up against a larger rock and stared ahead, letting his yellow filled orbs stare into the nothingness around him. What would his first task be when he and his brother grew? It was an important decision to make, and that he did as he sat and stared in silence.

Mittrei's red and orange eyes blinked against the harsh sunlight of day. Why am I awake at this hour? Even as she asked herself that question she knew the answer. It was the heat. She had a long history of having a hard time sleeping during the day once summer's heat started to bake the land and this season seemed to be shaping up no differently. Though it was annoying and inconvenient there was nothing much she could do about it but suffer and sweat.

The scent of honeysuckle drew her along a wooded path and she reflected that there were at least some benefits to being awake at this hour. More flowers were open which meant for better eating. Still following the smell, she passed through a tangled clump of bushes and past a few craggy rocks.

She took another step and then paused. Either she was imagining things or one of those rocks... had been looking at her. Probably just a trick of the light. It all came down to that annoyingly bright light that wouldn't let her-

There was something there looking at her. She turned around to see it completely and found herself peering at a colt... a colt with horns, membraned wings, and a sinuous tail. Kalona.

"Now, aren't you... cute." She kept the greeting brief while she mentally took stock of her surroundings. The colt seemed to be alone and she hadn't heard any stomping of great big kalona feet. The parents probably weren't around which meant that she was probably safe... which was about as good odds as she could get for anything.

Temptation hadn't noticed the female at first, but once his eyes had adjusted to her coloring, he found her words as extra amusing. She was an odd sight herself, and her wings were most confusing. He had never seem them before. "Well that's a new one." he then said, while standing up finally. Because of his breed, he beat the female in height, but felt no reason to comment on that fact. He usually towered over other small Soquili, since his father was pretty much humongous anyways. He knew he would be that big soon, and the wait was absolutely bothersome! "I wouldn't call you cute, but probably strange. I've never seen those wings before, and why do you have horns?" Hm. They were like his, except different he supposed. That was surprising!

"What do you want?" he then asked, with a usual blunt expression. She HAD intruded on HIS area, so she must have had a reason, right? Why else would she walk right up to him? He was also surprised by that fact that she wasn't afraid, and he found that as confusing as well. "Are you sure its safe to be around me? My my, what if something horrible happens.." a usual fangy smile molded on his mouth, and he only flicked his tail while chuckling to himself. He was expecting some kind of explanation from her, be it her looks or her reasoning for being in front of him.

But for now, he would enjoy the moment for its randomness and humor, since those moments didn't come around often!

The moment that Mittrei realized that this foal was taller than her was the moment that her pride flared up within her. He might be taller and more dangerous but, even if perhaps that was a good reason to run away, she wasn't about to.

"What if something horrible happens?" she repeated with an impish smirk of her own. "Why would something horrible happen around a strange flutter like me and a cute colt like you? Expecting any bears to come chasing you down? Now bears... they're dangerous." It was a playful jibe but also one that could be taken as insult or challenge? Would he?

"And as for my 'horns'..." She fanned her antennae back and forth to show off their movement and flexibility. "I have them so that in the dead of night when even cute kalona eyes are blinded I can still feel my way along. Not quite as sturdy as your lovely ones but much more useful for my purposes."

My my.. she really had some strange horns on her, didn't she? No matter, Temptation had his own oddness on his body as well, so there was no reason to call her out. The mare's coloring and wings could be frightening on a dark evening, so maybe she did have the advantage in scaring others as well. "Bears aren't dangerous. My brother and I first killed a cub yesterday, and then slaughtered the mother. It was wonderful actually, you should try it some time. We tried looking for the father, but he obviously wussed out." His eyes furrowed in delight, and his usually smile remained intact on his face. "So if a bear had the balls to chase me down, I'd just laugh my @ss off!" There he went again, swearing like his father. The words only came out when he was overly angry or excited, but he didn't try and stop them.

"So, what do you call yourself? I'm Temptation.. and I'm sure you'll remember it." Yes.. everyone would soon remember him and his brother, for they would create history in just some time. But for now, he would only learn as much as he could about others and their breeds, since all creatures were different in shapes and sizes, and intelligence. "And the only reason something horrible might happen, is if my stomach beckons me to eat. But. You will be fine, I can assure you that. I've eaten quite enough lately." And there was no risk in getting fat, so he'd have to restrain himself. Getting fat would be horrible for his image.

Temptation, was it? Mittrei wondered what exactly the colt would be tempting others to do once he had grown. His parents had an interesting aesthetic in names for their children it seemed. It was strange, but through all his cursing and bluster she found herself liking this foal much more than she enjoyed the company of the usual vapid creatures that she met. It would have been a different matter if he had been trying to tear her wings off but for now he was being remarkably civil for a kalona and entertaining on top of that.

"I and most others call me Mittrei."

She considered the kalona colt before her and tried to imagine him facing down an adult bear. The image was enough to prompt laughter. "If I ever find myself with bear problems I'll have to make sure to look up a kalona colt like you, then. I had no idea you were such excellent bear exterminators." Mischief and something else glittered in her eyes while she regarded him. "Bears, soquili... certainly not even skinwalkers could stand against a Temptation so fierce." Her tone still teased but there was a darker edge of thought behind it. She and her family had had problems with skinwalkers in the past and had never thought of sending kalonas against their problem. If she could find one older and enough of a braggart to take a challenge without eating her first...

But that was a thought for another day. The edge faded and she relaxed back into being simply mischievous.

Mittrei. He stored the name in his mind in case he needed it again for something, and stretched his legs out as she continued talking some more. "A skinwalker would kill me in a second. I'd need my father their to kick their @ss to protect me. But bears and other creatures are nothing spectacular. My brother and I have been hunting for awhile, so eliminating 'scary' creatures is just fun and games for us." Working together with his brother was always entertaining, and for some reason they made impeccable teammates. It was probably the whole twin connection once again. Mittrei was probably luck that Damnation wasn't their with him, since Temptation tended to get out of hand with his brother at his side.

"Hopefully I won't be a colt anymore soon." he then added, since he was quite aware of his age-gap compared to the rest of the world. "But until then, I can only amuse myself with little forest creatures or whatever. I really only do it so I can eat." Well hm, there was no use describing his dietary habits to the mare. That would get boring very soon, so he decided to move the conversation slightly. "So what is it exactly that you do, Mittrei? You are grown and able, so how to you spend your time in these vast lands?" It was the perfect opportunity to learn about another adult, and Temptation would ask as many questions as he needed for informations sake. "Are you particularly skilled in anything?"
PostPosted: Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:55 am


"Do I need to be skilled in anything to earn your respect?" Mittrei flipped her mane to the other side of her neck at that particular thought. "I don't eat bears for breakfast as seems to be your habit. As you can probably see, I'm lacking in anything that could be used for even remotely dangerous activities.... But..."

She folded her wings against her body and made a show of walking in a slow and small circle. "Those of us lacking in fangs can still find our own ways of being ferocious. It can be in small things, like the bite of well chosen words against an overblown ego." She had used this weapon many times against those that thought too highly of themselves. Her own sizable ego often couldn't tolerate others.

"Or," she continued. "The shock of something unknown and unexpected." Her wings snapped out and flared to give the impression of frightening red eyes in a yellow face.

"Being raised among such a fearsome and strong family as I'm certain you have, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to learn a little about the other weapons in the world." If he did, she pitied the poor creature that he encountered next... which hopefully wouldn't be her, she reflected dryly.

The mare was proving to be more interesting as the conversation progressed, and Temptation was quiet until the mare finished speaking entirely. "Why do you feel the need to earn my respect?" he first asked, with a twisted grin. "And what makes you think something like that is even possible in the first place?" He was an impressive child, but for a mare to be saying such words? Temptation was very confused.

"I like words." he then said, while watching her even more closely. "I like words even more then my physical abilities. I want to become better with them, since my brother handles the violent part." So the mare understood the value to words? Now he wanted her to explain even more! "What is your favorite technique? I am still trying to develop my own.."

"I am trying to learn everything possible, I know abilities can be learned, and found. I want to be the complete package, especially when I reach adulthood. I am having difficulty finding myself, and I'll admit that even in this conversation." he cursed under his breath, and closed his eyes slightly at his admitted response. "I just need to learn as much as I can, and create whatever method suits me best. It appears that you have found your own.. how did you do such a thing?"

"I did it by not asking so many questions." Mischief danced in her eyes but there was truth there too. Her wit was something that she had picked up on her own, a sarcastic response to some of the foolishness in the world. Those sweet souls that had loved her and given her the ego that she enjoyed now... but they had also turned her away from the sweet ones like themselves. She had endured all of the kindness she wanted to in one life. Now was time for other things.

Like teasing kalona foals, apparently.

"My favorite technique is mine alone and even if I could teach it to you I wouldn't. I've been saying that words are my weapons, haven't I? You wouldn't give me your lovely teeth or horns, would you?"

She chuckled at the thought of herself decked out that way. She would be a fierce flutter indeed.

Pftt. Temptation grunted to himself, since the mare was trying to make a fool of him. No matter, he was still a child, and he tried to retract her words and remind himself of that. "Well, if I do not ask you questions, then I don't have any other method of communicating with you. Its not like I will sit her and compliment you, or mindlessly make fun of you." he then paused, and arched his smile a bit as usual. "Or would you rather I belittle you instead? Please, let me know, I'd be happy to comply I'm sure."

Temptation would have to create his own techniques it seemed, but he was understanding of that fact at this point. He wanted to be creative, but he did figure out a way to rephrase his questions. "You with my horns and teeth would be.. ugly I'm afraid. As you've said, we should all use what we are capable of, and what we are talented at. If that's the case, do you have any advice then with how I can train myself with words? I suppose THAT isn't too much to ask."

What DID this mare want out of him, anyways? He was just a young colt, and she an older and wiser mare. "Do you have any questions for me? I am feeling very unimportant." he chuckled then, before bringing his empty eyes back on hers. "But really, there must be SOMETHING interesting about me, right?"

Or if not, he would make her ask.
