Megapi: zzzzz--YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!! [Immediately springs to his feet, instantly turning into a Kalona]Metawa: O.O!! [Turns and runs as fast as she can]
Shula: I don't know. I haven't been out of the basket that long. You. Tell. Me. D<Ali: *About to respond when she hears tiny hoofbeats running full tilt toward the shelter of the willow and the horrifically familiar sound of Mega* HOHNO, ANDRE! DDDDDDDDDDDDDD8
Andre: *Gives his youngest sister a nod before looking down at Branwen, giving the most comforting smile wrapping a wing about the filly.*Metawa: [Whimpers and speeds up as she hears snapping at her heels] DDDD8
Megapi: YOU'RE FINISHED, SPAWN!!!Shula: Oooh! I found the one you were looking for! She's being chased by the fluffy! 8DMetawa: [Trips over her abandoned basket and cries out] HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!!
Megapi: [Slows down and licks his lips]Branwen: D8 *completely horrified by the scene playing out before her and scoots up close to Andre*
Ali: *Charges out to rescue the eldest of her three youngest nieces* ANDRE, GET THE OTHER TWO OUT OF HERE, I'LL BRING THE LAST ONE! D<
Andre: *Noses at Branwen as she came closer to him. Ears flicking back he looked over towards the awakened Skinwalker and the foal he was looking at. Though he was going against his own morals to stay more or less out of the way he looked back to the little one near him.* Stay right here, if need be, run to the bushes. *Turning away from Branwen he dashed over to put himself between the skinwalker and his neice.* Alright, away with you. *Makes a shooing motion with his wings*Megapi: [Stops and snarls, tail lashing as he stretches his wings out] Out of the way, skydancer. Time for me to finish what your sister started. [Spits out the word "sister"]Metawa: [Gets up and tries to walk away unobtrusively]
Shula: Fluffy! 8DAli: *Calls back to Shula and Branwen* Girls, hide now. *Turns back to Meta* Stay under me, little one. *Glares at Mega, still full of pure phobia* No. You will not harm them. >>
Branwen: *watches her eldest sister attempting to get away, completely scared stiff and not much liking this feeling of being alone*
Shula: -sticks tongue at Ali instead of hiding- xPMegapi: [Snarls at Shula and licks his lips, grinning at Ali] I remember you. You know, I'm still not done with you. What if I try eating you? You look *tasty.*Metawa: [Growls at Ali and walks into the willow, kicking Shula as she walks past]
Ali: *Stands, trying not to cry or scream in pure terror, realizing if she caves, the girls could die* I won't let you touch them, Megapi. >>
Andre: *Gives a grown of his own, fanning out his feathered wings to put up more of a wall.* I don't think so belly dragger. *Rearing a bit to show he wasn't playing* Leave my sister and nieces out of this. *Changes positions to even place himself infront of Ali.* Get the girls out of here, drag them if you have to. *Says this to Ali.*Ali: *Nods and gallops to the girls, herding them and nipping where necessary* Go, go, go!!!
Shula: -snarls at Metawa as she goes past- I'll eat you D< -kicks back at Ali for the nipping and herding but goes-Branwen: *snapped out of her terror by a n** from Ali and bolts off in the direction she herded, following only her instinct*
Megapi: [Rears up with a scream to show that he's a rather tall soq] Your nieces are abominations, and I WILL scourge them from the earth. They will not last long. Close your eyes for one minute--I dare you to--and you will find nothing but their bitten off heads. [Leaps into the air, flapping hard] Just you wait, fillies! You will know my stomach soon enough!Metawa: [Snaps at Shula] Not if I eat you first! [Nips Ali back and runs in the direction she's herded]
Ali: *Keeps galloping, leaping into a low glide along behind them to keep them moving and protect them from Mega if necessary*
Shula: You wouldn't be able to eat me! D<Branwen: *doesn't understand why everyone wants to eat her and decides, while still running under the guidance of Ali, that whoever that dark soq is, she doesn't like him at all*
Andre: *Takes off matching the skinwalker, he wasn't slowed by the thin membrains the other was, feather caught more updraft. Andre might have been a bit smaller then this one, but he could stand his own.* I've flattened stallions less then you. So just slink back into the shadpws where you belong. NO ONE messes with this family, Neva gets away with it, but YOU are an outsider, you hold no rule over the fillys. Now leave!Metawa: And you would, I suppose? My teeth are sharper. I can take you any day.
Megapi: [Keeps up with Andre, beat for beat] You can't hold me back, skydancer. You can't force me to go where I will not go. [Grins savagely] Open your eyes! Even if they didn't have my blood, they'd have your sister's, and that's a curse enough!Ali: *Snaps at the girls* Less arguing, more running. *Seriously debates seeing if she can hide them with Andre's granddaughter Nightling*
Shula: I'm sure you could. Bet you couldn't take on our herding thing that wont' let me eat them.Metawa: [Could not be hidden with Nightling no matter what] What are you talking about?
Shula: -stops running- I don'g want to run anymore. D<Ali: *Swoops to n** Shula very hard on the rump* If you don't run, I'm going to carry you the hard way, little one. >>
Metawa: [Laughs and whirls around, kicking Shula with her back hooves; still running on adrenaline]
Andre: *Gives a bit of a glance towards where the girls had gone, before looking back to Megapi.* Not a chance, even if I have to drive you from the skies, I will stop you here and now! You may have sharper teeth, but who has more brains? Murderer. They may have Neva's blood in them, but they have mine and my father's racing through their veins.Branwen: *completely ignorant of her sisters' bickering and just keeps running, only aware of the fact that there's a frightening stallion chasing after them* D|
Shula: -snarls at both Ali and her sister- I'm. Not. Running. D<Megapi: [Flaps lazily and looks up towards the sky] [Slowly, savoring every syllable] Murrrrrrrderrrrerrrrrr...interesting word. Murder being a way of saying killing one's own species with ill intent. An insult. A bad thing. I don't understand, skydancer. [Flies slow, lazy circles around the wind stallion] Why do you call me a murderer?Metawa: [Snorts] Okay. Stay there and get eaten alive. Just so long as I can watch, I don't care.
Ali: ... *Ducks her head under Shula to knock her onto her back, spreading her wings to catch the filly between Ali's neck and wings* Yes. You. Are. Unless you LIKE dying. >> Girls, you two keep running. >> *Returns to the nipping*
Shula: HEEEY! PUT ME DOWN! DDD<Ali: Not a chance, Sweetie. >>
Metawa: Yeah, lady, put her down! D<
Ali: *Nips Meta firmly* I'm sure I could carry you on top of her, Honey, just keep running. >>
Metawa: [Snorts and turns, putting on a massive burst of speed]
Shula: -struggles- PUUUUT MEEEE DOOOOWN!!!!!!!!!!! DDDD<Andre: *Snorts moving higher over the skinwalker before folding his wings to nose dive towards him. Not afraid of missing, he was after all a skydancer. He as used to making tight turns and close calls. Thinking a bit, this was almost like dancing, only he was attacking.* Killing the innocence is considered murder. They have done NOTHING to you and you have it set in your head that they have.Megapi: [Easily dodges out of the way] How is killing innocents any better than killing those who kill others? Do you then kill a cat because he has eaten a mouse? What if I were to kill you for stepping on a beetle late at night?Ali: *Intentionally makes a jerky move to try to startle Shula into silence and make her hold on for dear life* I could drop you at any time, Sweetie, but you would most definitely die. Now, do you want to die, or do you want to live? >>
Shula: I don't want to be stuck on you! D< Let me down!Ali: That wasn't my question: it was whether you want to fall and die, or stay and live. >>
Shula: As long as I'm not on youI don't care. D<Branwen: >.< *really wishes her sisters would just shut up and listen to their aunt because she'd rather not see any of them eaten by Megapi, but decides to just let Ali do all the talking and concentrates solely on running*
Metawa: [Catches up to Branwen] So, exciting day, huh?
Andre: *Rises again to block Megapi lips curling back, knowing well that his first attempt had faultered just a little.* I LIVE with a cat, my father has a lion as a familiar. Hunting for food is not the same! But your 'hunting' I call murder. Now just LEAVE! Go find someone else to torment.Branwen: *startled by her eldest sibling speaking to her and nearly trips because of it* No! More like terrifying! D8
Ali: *Is getting irritated enough to angle her wings and let the filly gently slide off and take a moment to hustle Meta and Branwen off into the bushes* Andre, don't let him touch the other foal! D8!
Shula: -takes the chance to run in the opposite direction- I want to see the fluffy! D<Ali: *Freaks out and flies back after Shula* Nooo, come back! *Tries to cut the filly off, putting herself in grave risk of getting mauled by Shula's father* DDDDDDDDDDDD8!!!!!!!!!!
Branwen: *can't understand for the life of her why Shula is so interested in "the fluffy" as she darts into the bushes and turns to watch in terror as Ali goes after her*
Megapi: [Narrows his eyes] Listen well and listen long, skydancer, because this is more complex than you know and it takes a long time to hear. And open up that mind of yours, or I'll do it with my hooves--your narrow mind must be pretty claustrophobic. I kill for food. I do not plan to simply kill those things; I plan to eat them as well. That is what flesh is for. To be eaten. That is what everything is for. To be eaten. I do not like life. I do not. No skinwalker can live with life. And I have committed the only wrong I can commit: I created new life. I created new life, and now I must even the odds. I must take back what I have done. I must kill the life I have created, or I might as well become a sniveling, narrow-minded meal like yourself. I might as well throw myself into a hole of maggots if I let those things live.Metawa: [Follows her into the bushes] He's not that scary. You should've seen the look on his face when I dropped the rock on his head!
Shula: -plays keep away from Ali- >DBranwen: You dropped a rock on his head?! D8 What were you thinking?!
Ali: *Tries desperately to herd Shula back before Mega makes a move on the two of them*
Metawa: ...Uh...If I recall correctly..."Hey, look at the sleeping wolf! I wonder what'll happen if I drop a rock on his head?
Andre: Not in this life time. *Growls giving a few beats of his wings to draw him closer to the skinwalker.* If you feast on other foals, that's their parents problem, but I will NOT have you feasting on these while I am around. You want fresh meat, go find another family to pillage, leave this one alone. If anything, take my demented sister with you, you two seem to like each other well enough to actually HAVE children. Take your problems up with HER!Shula: You're no fun. -_- -allows self to be herded-Ali: *Sighs in momentarily relief and starts nudging Shula away as fast as possible*
Branwen: Why would you want to drop a rock on someone's head in the first place? *does not compute her sister's way of thinking at all*
Shula: Can I eat my sister now? <.<Ali: ...No. >>
Shula: Why not? <.<Ali: Not until the Fluffy stops trying to eat you. >< *Too freaked out about being out in the open with Mega around to watch her words or even realize Mega might have a chance to be closing in faster than she and Shula are escaping*
Megapi: [Bellows at the top of his lungs] *LIKE* HER?! IF I FIND YOUR [insert equine equivalent of whore] YOU CALL SISTER, I WILL SUCK HER BRAINS OUT OF THE SHATTERED REMAINS OF HER FEMURS!!!! I'LL SHAMPOO MY PELT WITH THE BLOOD FROM HER OVER-ACTIVE OVARIES!!!! SHE WILL SUFFER A FATE SO GREAT THAT NO MARE WILL DARE MATE WITH ME AGAIN!!!!! And I WILL have her children as dessert! I WILL devour them! They are MY children, not yours! I will do anything, ANYTHING, to destroy the family that whelped that [equine equivalent of slut]!!! You can watch!!Metawa: Duh, to see what happens! Hey, can I eat the orange one? She looks like she tastes heavenly.
Shula: -makes mental note of what Ali said- Alright >DBranwen:......Why does everyone want to eat each other?! D8 *flicks her tail unhappily*
Metawa: Because she looks tasty.
Branwen: Why would you want to eat our sister?! We wouldn't have a sister if you ate her. T T
Andre: BUT THE ARE PART OF MY FAMILY, MORON! I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND THEY ARE PART OF IT! *He shouts back flicking his wings a bit to gain a little more height on the skinwalker.* My sister sealed her own fate when she met you. Had it been me, you would have been nailed to a tree with your own horns and left to rot! I don't care what happened between you two, but I draw the line WHEN IT COMES TO THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS OF MY FAMILY!Megapi: [Easily gains altitude with Andre] If you have a large family, then surely you wouldn't miss three foals who should not belong.
