Bardess Ookami Tezcacoatl Tanis was not one of nature's more happy Soquili. She really wasn't. But that came from being an orphan, which she thought she was, stalked by an insane mare. Which she thought she was. She still didn't know to this day that the insane mare was her mother. She had no clue the convoluted turns and plots at play in her own life.
Life was a game, and not the stupid sort with random chance and game pieces, it was an art, a game of the highest caliber, and she... ah she... she thought herself the master of that game. Their fates danced at her whims, and every other soul she encountered was her plaything.
A shame she was just like her unknown mother, Mary - Deluded in the extreme.
It was all what life ever was, really. Well, for that bloodline at least. Insanity, delusions, and inflated sense of self worth and importance. Tez thought she ran the game, she thought she was the be all end all ultimate game master and everyone about existed for the whims of her pleasure folded into her bizarre and twisted plots.
In reality however, she mostly just drifted from place to place, following not so much the fine lines of a well laid out plan as the whims of a mare who had issues focusing. Mostly she wound up somewhere and stopped not because this was where she needed to stop in order to fulfill some vast and cosmic plot of her own nefarious design,.... but rather because she was hungry and she saw something tasty in the way of prey.
Today was.... well.... frankly, today was no different. She saw the small creature scamper across the meadow and smiled. It was not a pleasant smile. Not at all. It was a viscous thing as sharp and lethal as the glass on her back.
She wasn't sure what the creature was, exactly, other than brown, furry, round, plump, and potentially delicious. She didn't care what name it carried, only that she could catch it, kill it, and rip it to shreds with her teeth. She wanted to feel its life leave it, wanted to feel it stop fighting; and to know that the power to end it, or spare it, was her own. And today she chose to end it. Of course, if she failed, then she had chosen, all along, to spare it. That was the lovely thing about being delusional. Not that she was aware she was doing it. That was the more expected part of being delusional.
She lowered her head and moved quietly towards her prey, dark tongue licking at her lips hungrily. She waited for her moment, waited for her moment, then lunged, throwing herself at the creature, grabbing it in her mouth and throwing it into a stone to stun it. It bounced and she dropped, rolling over it, impaling it with the glass on her back. She was so absorbed in her meal that she was unaware of anyone else approaching.
Divena Pinzin was wandering. There wasn't really any destination or reason for it, other than the intense need to take a break from his companions. Calling them companions was generosity boarding deception. The idiots that had attached themselves to him weren't friends. They were barely acquaintances. More like parasites that he just couldn't seem to shake. In his more morbid moments, he wondered if he even wanted to. It was rare for him to find others who were tolerant of his odd appearance or inability to converse. When the loneliness was too much, he wondered if maybe idiots were the only ones he would ever be able to be around. He hadn't been a social creature, exactly, before his life fell apart. But he hadn't been a loner either. He had always enjoyed being part of something. And now...well. Now he had two complete idiots to look after.
He heaved a muffled sigh which turned into a small smile when he thought of the odd mare he had met not too long ago. She had been refreshingly intelligent, sweet, and blessedly normal. And she had talked to him as if he was an actual person.... maybe he didn't need the idiots after all.
His thoughts ground to a halt when he spotted the unusual, and bloody, mare. He made an uncertain sound, wondering if he should turn and leave now or if she was, like him, not quite what she appeared. |

Bardess Ookami She looked up at the sound bearing her teeth in a hissing noise. This was her dinner, her game, and she intended to....
Well. He looked different. There had to be a story here, had to be something more to him than most other soquili. And where there was a story, there was often a game to be played. Oh yes, she could play with this.
She smirked and left her prey dead as she stepped closer to him, sizing him up. "And just who are you?" she asked in a voice that was unknowingly an echo of her mother's purring croon.
This... ah... this was going to be fun.
Divena So much for backing away unnoticed, Pinzin thought, taking a step back. He didn't answer, didn't even try. He couldn't, and he didn't feel like being ridiculed for his inability to speak. He took another step back, glancing behind him to make sure he had a quick escape route if necessary before turning his full attention back onto the unusual mare. He tilted his head curiously at her.
Bardess Ookami Not answering? Frozen with fear, or brave enough to be rude? She was unsure. She stalked towards him, tail swishing back and forth as she moved. Was he scared of her? She could work with that? If he wasn't.... well... he could be.
"I asked you a question," she crooned as sh advanced, voice low. She lowered her head, looking up at him from a lower position. For some that might be submissive, but here? There was no question at all about the aggression in this mare. She hoped there was no question at all about dominance either. She was dominant here. She was the game master. He was just another playing piece.
Divena He shook his head, backing up for each step she took toward him. As long as he kept her at something of a distance, he knew he could escape if he needed to. But he couldn't convince himself that he was really in danger just yet.
Bardess Ookami Her head swayed lightly from side to side, like she was trying to charm a snake. “Certainly you know enough to speak to a lady when she asks you a question. There is no reason to be scared of me...” yet.
Divena No reason to be scared? That…. Was good right? Still, she clearly wasn’t understanding his predicament. He watched her, starting to feel oddly sleepy with her swaying movements. He tried clicking his teeth together so she would understand that he wasn’t trying to be rude, but rather couldn’t answer her.

Bardess Ookami “Words, darling,” she crooned as she approached still, swaying still. “You’re getting there. Certainly you’re not the shy short, hiding under all that. What’s the matter, Soq got your tongue?” she asked, smirking a bit.
Divena He shook his head and backed away from her, now growing frustrated. This conversation was beginning to sound like one that he had experienced on several occasions before. He tried opening his mouth and winced as the stitches pulled his skin.
Bardess Ookami “There you go,” she crooned. Now, speak. Actual words please.” Dance. Dance to her tune, play her game.
Divena He growled his frustration and stamped his hoof. She was not one of the rare few who could see beyond her own nose, apparently.
Bardess Ookami She smiled, as though his anger amused her. Greatly. Her tail flicked as she sashed closer and closer still. “Come now, don’t be shy little one, my small darling. You know the difference between Soqs and what Soqs eat, don’t you?” She was all but purring now.
Divena Oookay, she was bonkers. He kept backing away from her and started looking for a quick exit. She had backed him away from the one he had found when he first met her.
Bardess Ookami She smiled when she saw his panic. Somehow she still had no idea how alike she was to her mother. Still had no idea who her mother even was. But anyone who knew Mary? They would see the resemblance in a second. This one, specifically. She crooned at him. “Soqs speak. Soqs can reason, can speak, can beg. Food... well.... sometimes it can scream......”
Divena Yep, completely, totally, bonkers. He made a small whining sound in the back of his throat.
Bardess Ookami “YEs,” she purred. “Just. Like. That. If you won’t talk for the pretty lady, maybe you’ll scream for her?” she asked, smirking.
Divena ”Mmm hmm pmsh, mph!” he tried speaking, tried telling her that he COULDN’T speak and she was totally nuts.
Bardess Ookami “MMMM... almost there. So which are you, Stallion or stud? Friend or food?” she asked, still advancing, tail swaying gently behind her.
Divena This was getting them nowhere. He turned and ran, stumbling slightly over a rock.
Bardess Ookami She laughed, tossing her head, letting her hair tumble back. Then she gained at him, eyes twinkling. “You don’t think I was actually going to eat you, did you?” she asked with another laugh, sounding so much more sane now. She couldn’t actually kill something that large. Well, she could, but she’d get sick eating it. Him. Whatever. But it was all a game, after all. Everything was in the end. So this was a game too, and he lost. She won. But then... she always won. That;s what games were about; Tez winning.
Divena He hesitated, staring at her in shock. She had been… messing with him? Seriously?

Bardess Ookami She gave a bright smile, and came over. “Do you need help up?” she asked, still chortling. She wasn’t often nice, but winning always put her in a very good mood.
Divena He watched her warily, not certain he trusted this sudden change in mood.
Bardess Ookami She smirked. “So untrusting, you really need to learn to take the game for what it is. A game. Play it.”
Divena Game?! Game?! She had been playing a game with him? No, heck no. You couldn’t play a game with someone who didn’t know there even was a game! He glared at her.
Bardess Ookami She smirked and pranced back lightly. “The greatest game ever continues, ever turns, ever continues.” She closed her eyes part way and sang in a croon “the game of life is hard to play... you’re going to lose it anyway, the losing move you’ll one day lay, so this is all I have to say. Suicide is painless. It brings on many changes. And you can take or leave it, if I please,” she sang at him in a small singing croon. She nipped at his ear, to be sure he was paying attention.
Divena What was she…. Was she singing some kind of twisted lullaby or something? He flinched when she bit his ear and tried to shy away from her.
Bardess Ookami She smirked. “I wonder what’ inside that ratty old bag,” she crooned. “Perhaps we should take it off and see?” she asked, teeth flashing at him.
Divena Annnd that was his cue to leave. He didn’t want to know if he still bled blood or if everything inside had been changed as well. He managed to get his feet under him and skipped away from her. Well, more like lumbered. He wasn’t a small soq.
Bardess Ookami “Did I say you could run away yet? I’m not done playing,” she said, moving towards him as fast as he was moving away, determined not to show how much effort that took. “Let’s play some more...”
Divena He shook his head quickly, refusing to continue playing whatever twisted games she was trying to run on him. He continued backing away from her.
Bardess Ookami And she kept advancing. “What have you got to hide there, little one? Scared one? Chicken one? Is it just possible that under that bag you are hiding that you are...all over.... yellow?”
Divena Yellow… as in coward? He gave her his best smile, turned and RAN, more than happy to take the title of coward if it meant keeping his tail intact. Sometimes things were exactly what they seemed.
Bardess Ookami She laughed, watching him go. Little one, he played her game exactly. Now that she had her fun and chased him off, she tuned and went back to the corpse she had set aside, to eat her meal in piece. Just as she had intended, all along.
