 Dusk was an appropriate time for her mood today, she reflected tiredly, staring at the burning sun as it slowly dipped below the horizon. As of late, she felt... stagnant. Her days blurred together in her self-imposed solitude, and Nyx had concluded that she was not living so much as she was existing. There was a difference, she thought, or there ought to be. Hunger gnawed at her belly, but she ignored the plaintive twist, shoving down the need as though that would be enough to smother it out of her entirely.
For not the first time, her thoughts threatened to reach back towards wishing she did not require meat to survive. Nyx trampled them down too. For too long she had tried to survive on plant matter whenever her self-loathing grew too strong, and the experience had nearly killed her. Just because her blood dictated she was a carnivore through and through did not mean she was a savage. She had clumsily learned to fish for herself, and when her attempts were poor, there were always fat rabbits about to try and catch.
Her body was lean, not muscular so much as thin from malnutrition, but the young mare moved silently through the encroaching darkness. Another night of wandering, she supposed. If she was lucky, she would--
--a sudden crash in the underbrush made her rear with fright, and a deer bolted past her, running for its life. Something big was coming. Something very big indeed.

 Kerberos was at the prime of his life, strong, young, and proud. He prowled the lands as he pleased, an untamed, wild thing that his ferocious appearance lent itself too nicely. He had little qualms about using brute strength and intimidation to bully his way through the world... and in all honesty, most Soquili bought it, hook, line, and sinker. His demonic eyes, his razor-sharp teeth, his wicked, twisting horns... They all saw what they wanted to see too easily.
After all, what was more dangerous than a Kalona? Oh, Skinwalkers, surely, but even that made him sneer.
Hunger rumbled in his belly, and the stallion immediately took wing. With the night fast approaching, hunting would be easy work in the darkness. And in theory, it should have been.
Scenting out a young doe, he moved quickly and confidently, roaring with delight as he flushed his quarry free of its hiding spot. What he hadn't expected was the ghostly figure in front of him, dark eyes wide and smelling of terror, her wings flared as though ready to take flight in an instant.
Breathing harder than normal, Kerberos stopped, the deer forgotten as he peered at the strange mare with interest. Soon, his muzzle curled back to bare his teeth in a sharp smile. "Little late, isn't it? Things go bump in the night, you know." Oh, but did she flinch! He almost felt guilty...
Naaaaah.

Kalona. Dark and demonic, grinning at her with a mouthful of fangs with eyes that.. well, they flickered in the night with unholy red, and she took a silent breath to steel herself. She would master her unease. Arching her neck, Nyx fixed him with a narrow-eyed stare. Flicking her tail would only draw attention to it, and she suppressed it with interest.
"Yes," She said coolly, "Even Kalonas have gone missing, I think."

Kerberos grunted, fixing the mare with an amused stare. Oh, he definitely saw that tail... So she was at least part Kalona, huh? Didn't look it, besides that! "Weak ones, sure. That's the food chain for you. So what's that make you, honey? Predator? Or prey?"
He shouldn't be laughing, not when she was clearly trying so hard to be stoic, but he just couldn't help himself!
