 Johanna tugged at her collar in agitation as she walked easily through the woods. The strains of her hair whipped in to her face as she made her way to the meeting that had been arranged. It'd been a long time, since she'd shorn off her hair in the arena...It had been a long time, since she'd fought for her life--but not nearly long enough for her to forget the faces of the ones she killed in the 69th Games, and never would it be long enough for her to forget the ones who held her in the arena or threw her in there in the first place. She could remember some of the faces like it was yesterday--the tall, Ulun'suti that seemed to be a friend or some sore to the bone face girl with snakes. She was cruel and vicious. She'd been one of the ones that had thrown in her into the arena--made sure that the year she was involved was a rough year. The name was guttaral, vile--snake-like in feeling just like the vile creatures she carried around. One day, she promised she'd find her and make her pay for what she had done to her. There had been rumours that someone else was looking for someone like her. The description was very basic--but the idea of what she did was there, the same kind of evil. It was a lead after all...a way to maybe find her imprisoner...and to find an ally.

 Alma had always been told that when you started to look for something, you might not find what you really want. You had to be willing to uncover all kind of things. You had to be willing to have your whole world turned completely up-side down. It was easy to make that decision when her whole world had been destroyed so long ago. What else did she have left except the want for justice? She'd been searching for months trying to figure out who had stolen her family away and killed her brother and father---who had ultimately caused the death of her mother, and who had sold her siblings into slavery. One of them could still be alive--but she had no idea what he or she looked like, and the other was supposed to be dead. But she'd heard lies before...maybe that was a lie? Would she ever really know? But at least one of them coudl be alive. She'd known that someone who was capable of so much evil didn't just do something like that once. It wasn't a mistake or whatever--it was a mark of true evil. She knew there had to be others like her that had experienced this, someone else that knew her or some of the others.... That's how she'd heard about the other mare.

Johanna stayed in the shadows, looking out over the tall grass where they were to meet. She was a little early, just like she had wanted. Her eyes scanned the area slowly, making sure that she didn't see a trap. The high grass swayed in the breeze. It was disconcerting how much alike the arena it seemed to her. It seemed as if fate--if she believed in it--was trying to mock her. Her arena had been eerily alike to Liam's. The moment before she found her axe to end the game, she'd been laying there just like he had when he died.... She saw something moving at the far end. Something small...very small. She picked up the axe---

Alma had once heard of these Games in the land she came from. They weren't in her area, so she hadn't heard much about them until later. The concept was kind of like a gladiator battle to the death--there was one name spoken of in fear and almost loathing--Johanna Mason. The more stories she'd heard about her, the more Alma came to like her. Her situation was similiar to hers but worse in a way. She could understand how the other girl felt. But when Johanna had requested a meeting with her, she'd been suprised. What did she want with her? The only answer she'd gotten was common interests. She didn't know what they were, but she was eager to find out. As she came to the meadow, she could see nothing. But the tall grass covered her as she moved across the clearing causing the grass to sway in the breeze.

The axe was poised, ready to strike when she got a glimpse of what was creeping through the grass---only it wasn't creeping. It was a small usidia, and imp or cherub or nymphy or whatever they hell they're called. She was a little one was the point, and she was walking not creeping. Johanna stepped out into the meadow after she realized the female was alone, "What brings you here tiny?" She said through the axe gripped in her mouth. The games had taught her to not trust--not even someone that looked seemingly innocent--they could be just as deadly. She stared down the little one, waiting to see how she would react.

Alma paused as the other soquilli, the infamous Johanna Mason, suddenly appeared from the trees. She'd heard about her--the menacing stare, the half-wild and half angry expression she always wore. She'd heard of her tale and had assumed much of it was likely legend rather than factual but when she looked at her now she suddenly believed it just might be real. The axe in her teeth looked worn, but well honed and ready for use. It was not an idle weapon, and the one strapped to her back was in the same state, "You're the one that asked for me. Said we had business to discuss," she shot back with a snarl. She wasn't afraid at all--she was far past being afraid of anything anymore. "I was told we had something....in common." She shifted her body lightly, watching the other mare warily.

Johanna stood there judging the small one for a moment. She had called for this meeting--that was true. She'd heard rumors about the one that had escorted her to her games...that she had been doing other business deals. That was the point really--to know if they had a common enemy. In the arena, she'd never actually had any allies. The only one she would have taken--and with regret--was Wren. But allies or not that had ended exactly the same way. But this was different, she needed more information and she'd been told this girl wasn't the type to get left behind. She had the information and Johanna wanted the revenge so like it or not, she needed her. She tilted her head slightly, "The skull faced girl. She crossed me too. I've got the talent, you've got the name. You can share with me, and we can both kill her or we can be enemies. But I'll get her in the end." She glared hard at the mini, Alma.

She was taken back by what Johanna had asked.She didn't know/realize they shared that...similiarity. It seemed to strange. It really was a small world wasn't it. "It was her for you too?" She paused as it all hit her at once. She remembered being taken by her. She remembered the orders she had given for her family--the way half of them had been killed. "We kill her together,"she repeated. Alma wasn't going to get cheated out of this. "Her name was--is Morsmordre."

"Fair enough, together then." She listened to the name given. It was something at least--she'd been waiting for years for this. It was just a name,but it was a start. "Do you know anything else?" The more she knew the better. That was a simple truth, but she doubted there was much more to be known...yet. Morsmordre, as she knew her now, had never left anything more than a path of destruction. She was remarkably untraceable between her rampages--maybe pure evil needed time to reboot.

"Want me to do all your work for you?" Alma sneered. Just because it was Johanna freaking Mason didn't mean she was going to let her walk over her. No one walked over her that planned to live. "Morsmordre. That's all I've got. No location. Last known whereabouts were the jungles. Her first spotting in the new land. What are you? Incapable of finding out things yourself? Too famous to do your own leg work?" It felt good to taunt her. So what, they were allies or whatever but that didn't mean they had to like each other. After all, what had she been doing if she didn't know her captor's name or last location.If she was that inept then the stories probably weren't true. If the stories weren't true, then she didn't really need her to help kill then, did she?

"I could kill you, and I will if you get in my way..." She glared at the mini, stepping forward angrily with her axe clenched in her teeth willing her to get in her way. Who did this mini think she was? "Sorry, she and I never did talk much. Were you so eager to have long talks with her and divulge all your secrets?" She sneered haughtily, "Because I rarely opened my mouth to do anything but spit on her."

She could feel her rage bubbling right beneath the surface. Had Johanna Mason just accused her of helping the enemy? Of helping Morsmordre? Alma bared her teeth angrily. How dare she insinuate that she'd sold her family or her people out? Alma could feel the anger boiling up in her, ready to spill and scald. It was everything she could do not to yell and lunge at Johanna in anger and retribution. But something in her kept her from doing, from destroying what could be her only ally in a potentially dangerous game. "And how do I know you're not the one to have sold someone out?" She glared hard at the half-kalona, "After all, she's your kind." She flipped her hair back out of her face, "We can continue fighting or we can go after her together."

For a moment, she longed to chuck the axe at the mini and watch her bleed. It always felt good to release her anger and she had no loyalty to this mare. She had no reason to even believe her...but yet, she suspsected she was telling the truth. She kind of liked her spunk. She shook out her mane, "We'll work together for now." She smiled viciously, "But you cross me and it'll be the last thing you do."

Nyx Queen of Darkness *** She couldn't believe she'd agreed to this. It was nearly unbearable to have to hunt and look with Johanna. She was angry and bitter--matching her own, which was really saying something. She was obnoxious and grating. What was more was that she didn't quite trust her, especially not after she'd seen her having one of those flashbacks. Everything had been quiet, the night had been stormy. The rain was pouring down in sheets when Johanna had woke up with a scream. Her eyes were wide with terror and the axe that she had chucked had just barely missed Alma's head. At first, she was unsure if it was on purpose or not, but suddenly she realized how Johanna was shaking and trying not to pant. "What the hell was that?"
