Exiting the other end that was located in a sheer cliff face, she looked around the still dark forest. Ears twitching from side to side, Nightling headed away from home, lion like tail swinging gently in her gait. over head the trees were starting to come to life, birds awakening and other woodland creatures. Dull copper hooves carried her from the forest and into the dew covered field at its edge. Here was her start to the day, filling her own gut. After a night of rest, her stomach grabbed at her with angry claws. Biting back a curse Nightling walked further into the field as the sun rose steadily over the far mountains to greet the day.

 Karloff was wondering aimlessly after his encounter. His whole world was changed. Everything he'd striven for so far...all gone. He could feel rage mounting in him. What was he suppose to do now? He had too much humanity to turn, and too little to be anything else. At least that's how it felt...how he wanted it to feel. His whole mind was boggled, he didn't know what he wanted anymore or what he hoped for.

With her head down, Nightling didn't see anyone else around the field, but her ears caught the sounds of someone wandering. Looking up and taking a step back she caught sight of a black foal with white hair and mask? Blinking a couple times the first thoughts that came to her mind was that maybe it was one of Rishy's young. But looking again, she could clearly see that it was not. This little one had only the head piece of the skinwalker pelt and it was tied on. That and he didn't have the quiet paws of Rishy's kind either. Shaking her head, Nightling headed over towards the apparently lost foal.
"Hello there little one, are you lost?" she asked kindly, pale eyes looking around for any signs of possible parents. Finding no one but themselves in the open, she looked back to the foal. Certainly was strange to find another one out here all alone, perhaps she was a magnet of some sort. This caused her to suppress a self induced laugh, looking to him seriously, waiting for his answer.

He was taken back by the sudden appearance of someone else. He didn't know what to do. The old him would have growled, stood guard. But who he was now....he really didn't know what to do or what he was.
He looked at her for a few long moments, as if half seeing her. "No, I'm fine." He wasn't sure exactly where he was, but it didn't really matter.
The past kept playing over and over in his mind. He had no direction, no...driving focus. No redemption.

A frown passed over Nightlilng's face as she stepped closer to the strange foal. He looked quite lost as if he didn't have a single friend in the world. Nosing at him gently, her ears fell back for a moment before coming forwards. "Are you sure? You look like you have lost something." her voice held concern for him. Surely he had someone he could turn to, then again.. He reminded her of Rishy, a poor skinwalker filly who didn't know what she really was, besides the killer she was made to be. Nightling was quite fond of the filly and wondered if she grew to the lovely and fearsome mare Nightling knew she would be.
Memories side, she looked back to the young colt. Had another fallen into her care? Seemed like it, another to take under her wing sort of speak. At least it wasn't as hot then, the autumn sun was still climbing and the air still had a small chill to it. Nightling had a feeling this was going to be somewhat of a long day, but these days she was glad for them. "I'm Nightling, What might your name be, little one?" she asked finally, remembering she hadn't spoken her name yet, not that it was really that important. Names were only things to recognize someone instead of mistaking someone else...

He looked at her keenly, for a moment again, unseeing. "I'm Karloff." The monster He was still the same him, but with no place to go. He had to think about it. He had to assess what he wanted.
Too much humanity. Turning wasn't an option, but staying morose and sullen...That wasn't really an option either. He needed to focus, to find some focus. He thought back to her first question, could he just answer her with what he felt?
"I almost lost my soul."

Nightling eyed the foal, confused. How could someone lose their soul unless they were killed and sent off to a better place? Shaking her head, copper braids slapping dully against her neck as she pressed closer to the foal, Karloff he had called himself. It was a nice name, though she had never heard of any bad names this far. It was really what one did with the name, but this was beside the point.
'It's nice to know you Karloff, now, how is it that you almost lost your soul?" she asked lowering her head to his level so that she could see into his red eyes. "Cause as far as I know, it is rather hard to do. Unless you have done something wrong and the great ones. Well, invoke punishment." She didn't want to mention killing, punishment seemed like a gentler word. A lot gentler.

He kept his head down for another moment, "I was going to be a Skinwalker, to give myself up to the ways of one. I didn't want the pain to keep on, I wanted to forget...I wanted to be free of responsibility, of remorse...."
He shut his eyes, squeezing them shut tightly thinking of the things that had just happened. "But I have too much good left in me. But too much pain to be able to live like this."
