It's all his fault. It wouldn't have happened if not for him and his.. new family. Those hideous plagued skinned little deer things that were supposed to be miniature versions of Kalona. Foals.

The word brought disgust to Wrath and his body visibly shook to try to get away from it. And that brat foal of Ariston's was the worst of them all. Uppity little thing. Needed a good beating, that's for sure. Taught her place. How dare she speak up to Wrath of all Kalona? And Ariston LET her!

Wrath had wanted to kill the little thing and it shamed him. Though he may hate foals and females and that little brat was both, he cared for Ariston too much to hurt something he cared about. So Wrath had turned to run. He had run until his legs would not carry him anymore and he slumped into the night to rest.



That was when she came to him. At first he thought it was some dream induced by what he had experienced earlier that evening. She was a female Kalona, black as night with blood red eyes that glowed eerily. She had this calm, sexy but evil air about her and Wrath was frozen.

He hated females, hated them with a passion but this one was truly beautiful. It was almost like some unseen force kept his eyes fixed on her and kept his mouth from verbally assaulting her. Within seconds he was on his feet and she was nuzzling him. His body yearned to strike yet he could not move. He'd kill the b***h for sure when he was free of whatever spell she had placed on him. He was sure it had been a spell. There's no way he would have WANTED to do that.

But they had. He had. And now she followed him around like some strange psychotic creature. He had no freedom. He'd cuss her out, tell her to go away, even threaten to kick her a** but still she persisted. Always there, always with her eyes on him and at night.. she'd place that spell on him again. He hated it. Who gave a rat a** if it felt so good to be with her. It wasn't his choice, dammit. She just comes and takes what she pleases.

To make matters worse, she announced that she'd be having foals soon. His foals. HIS ******** FOALS. If ever Wrath wanted to end his own life, surely this would be the ******** the foals. ******** Succubus and her magic controlled sex appeal. ******** Ariston for getting him in this position in the first place. He didn't care if it was fair. He blamed his friend anyway. Perhaps this was payback for being cruel to Ariston and his foal. Perhaps this was some sort of punishment for hurting the one soquili he cared about. Perhaps if he lashed out at Ariston, he'd end up with twice as many of those monstrosities!

Ariston was out and about with Loveless for now, and strangely things about his daughter had changed. Since their run in with Desdemona, and her physical reaction to Loveless, the growing filly was much more..chill. She also seemed to have met more Kalonas, some being wise, while others were just ferocious. The little child seemed deep in though constantly, and although it worried Ariston, it pleased him that she was beginning to figure things out for herself. She had also grown, coming up to his shoulder bone more. She was becoming a beautiful site, and he loved having her next to him.

So, for the moment, she just trotted beside Ariston, smiling at him at certain moments. Ariston's mind wandered itself, and he wondered when he could see Wrath again. Their last encounter was so abrupt, it was almost cruel for Ariston to think about. He always cringed and got upset just thinking about it, but he was reminded at that moment because he was SURE he was on Wrath's scent. Though, another scent was close to Wrath's, and he couldn't pick up what the heck it was.

"Strange.." He looked to see Loveless concerned, because she was now able to find scents herself. "I think Wrath is around here somewhere." Ariston said to his daughter, though her reaction and face was only a darkened grin.

"Well, I do hope you resolve whatever is between you two." Loveless hissed, and turned her head back on the trail, only to go speechless as usually. The thought of Wrath made her cringe, but she tried to remain calm in front of her father so he would not get upset. After last time, her father had said how close he and Wrath were, but Loveless didn't believe in those kind of relationships. How worthless.

Ariston barely grinned at her reaction, but was more focused on where Wrath was. A part of him was.. kinda worried, which was a first in this scenario. He didn't want to be worried or upset in front of a close companion, but since last time... he just didn't know what to beleive anymore.

"Finish you off? Now, where would you get that idea, my friend?!" Ariston, in his golden brilliance, came out from the shadowy area only to enjoy his spectacle moment. He grinned at Wrath, and tried to hide some of his fearful emotions. Loveless on the other hand, just staggered behind, looking back and forth from Wrath to Succubus. She was impressed by Succubus, wow she looked strong. Wrath still wasn't in good favor in her mind. Loveless seriously hated males, so much.

Ariston's second reaction was to the scary female standing by Wrath. "Why hello.." he said, with a eerie gulp, but then abrubtly turned to Wrath. "But.. female?" His eyes widened. "I am, confused, buddy." His stepped back for a second only to look at them both strangely. "Since when do you hang around females, Wrath?"

Thoughts of their last time meeting were entereing his brain, and he flicked his hair back only in a small sweat. "Well, this is all knew to me. I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to be around females, but you are." He brought his stern purple eyes back on Wrath. He didn't know the situation, but it was enough to notice that Wrath sitting there with a female by him. WHAT THE HELL??!!

Kill him now? Was Wrath going insane? Like Ariston would actually kill him, it was hard enough for Ariston to hunt for something, and let alone kill it! "What is happening to you!?" Ariston's initial doubts of the female and him were taken away because of Wrath's horrible state. Something was VERY wrong here, and Ariston just wasn't getting it at first.

Loveless on the other hand, grinned at Succubus, and ignored the stupid men talking. She didn't really understand what Succubus had said to her, about breaking hearts and whatnot. But, it sounded pleasing, and if the female in front of her did it, Loveless was intrigued herself. She lowered her head pollitely, only to say "Thank you," and she brought her golden eyes on Succubus. "You are something pretty yourself." It was hard for Loveless to make compliments back, it just felt awkward. But, she tried her best, since she was awed by the female anyways.

Ariston listened to Wrath babble on until he heard, 'Parasites in her too.' "WHAT?!" Ariston shoved Wrath's neck out of his face, and tried to help him regain control. "CALM DOWN MAN!" Ariston was overwhelmed, and stepped away from Wrath, hoping to help him cool down for a second. "Just, CALM DOWN. If you keep shouting and freaking out, nothing is going to happen, you are just going to get more angry." Well, that was Wrath for ya!

"Now, why the hell would I kill you when she has 'parasites?' Wrath, um.. I am more suprised that YOU haven't killed her yet.." Ariston raised a brow at Wrath, bringing his intial doubt back. Did Wrath enjoy the female this much? Well, that was strangely weird. "SHE is the one that has THEM in her, not you silly." He grinned at Wrath, and put his wing on his shoulder. "Now, is this making sense to you at all?"

Ariston rolled his eyes when Wrath fumed away, it was always his fault it seemed. What an idiot, like Ariston would ever admit to being at fault. "So? Congratulations!" Putting on an obnoxious grin, Ariston had finally returned to his usual, outspoken self. Well, at least his overly playful side towards Wrath. He sighed though, realizing how badly the issue was affecting his bud. "Ok ok, I get it. I was taken aback too, I didn't think Heartless would actually have children. It all works out, having kids is nice, I promise. You can raise them to be whatever you want!" But, in Ariston's case, he DID NOT have that kind of control with Loveless. With his boys he did, but his daughter was just as controlling as he!

"Unnatural? Will you stop it!" He smacked Wrath playfully with his huge golden locks. "Seriously, you sound insane right now. There isn't anything wrong with you, or her. s**t happens, and that's what happened here. As much as you want to freak out about it, IT HAPPENED." It was the truth, afterall. "Now, what is her reaction to all of this?" In Heartless' case, she didn't even notice she had children, which was.. odd.

Ariston wasn't freaking out as much as he thought he would, and the thought of Wrath having kids was just TOO GOOD in his mind. It was already crazy that he had offspring, but Wrath was just hilarious. Of course, he knew for awhile it would be hard for his friend to cope with things, especially because of his everlasting hate of females and foals. "It has to work out, it always does." He added, while in thought.

Loveless looked at her father and smirked. Wrath looked funny right now, he kept spazzing out and yelling. She was proud of her father, he was trying to keep hold of the situation. But, the alluring female brought Loveless' eyes back to her, and she grinned at her words. "I do want to go far, and I know being a female is much better." With a playful smirk, she wisped her tail around her side. "I have noticed that females have some strange abilty, I hope to have that." Loveless was still too young to know 'specifics' but, she just loved the power that females held.

That was true at least, in Wrath's yellings Ariston hadn't talked to the female at all yet. "Well, maybe I will talk to her then, it might be interesting to hear her perspective, and see what elese is going on." He turned to look at Succubus, who was talking away with Loveless. He could tell that in his taste of mares, she wasn't a female that he could easily control like Heartless was. Hmph, apparently he needed to teach Wrath a lesson about females. Well, that would have to do for later.

Loveless could do nothing but bob her head as she listened to Succubus. "I want to be like that, how you speak about it." Such a wonderful feeling, Loveless was enthralled with the mares knowledge, but to her suprise, before she could say more, her father was no standing beside her. "Father?"

"It seems you lovely ladies are chatting away." He smiled to his daughter, and then brought his eyes to Succubus. "Now, Miss," Ariston curved his lip. "Is there anything you wish to explain to me about my friend over there? I am deeply worried, and am trying to understand the situation better." Ariston would have to be sneaky, since the female looked sneaky herself!

But, there was no reason to not be pollite to the female, especially since he was clueless as to the truth of the situation. Wrath thought all females had witchcraft of some sort, and it was those words that could only make Ariston laugh. "I would really like to see my friend calm down a bit." He stated, while glancing at Wrath, who seemed busy destroying the ground.

"Oh." Was Ariston's first response, but he cringed his teeth at the mare. "I am glad this is all entertaining for you, though what makes you think you can be this cocky? Even in front of me, may I add." He glared at her, and pushed Loveless back a bit.

Although Loveless enjoyed the mare, she would never go against her father's side of things, she loved him so. But, that didn't mean she wasn't watching and learning. She only grinned after the mare finished speaking, my Wrath was such a fool, no wonder it was so easy for Succubus to do this. "Well, what do you expect, father? Don't blame her, she only did it because it was too easy." She smiled darkly and turned towards Wrath. Idiot. Kudos for Succubus, in her opinion.

He said nothing to his daughter, but even her words emphasized the situation more. They just made him madder. "What do you know of Pride, foolish mare? You think taking Pride away from Wrath is that easy? You aren't even close to this 'crushing' point you speak of." When Ariston thought about it, Wrath WOULD be fine, he was just overwhelmed at the moment.

Ariston's own overwhelmed feelings trailed with other thoughts. How similar was this female to him? All he ever did was break the hearts of mares, and walk away with the any confidence or pride they had. Creepy in a sense, it was hard for Ariston to retaliate against her. How could he stick up for his friend when he did the same thing constantly? "Everything you are doing, is all too similar to me.." He sighed, very perplexed on how to help his friend. "I cannot fix this, nor can I let you stamp around like you are some kind of addiction to him. He's too angry for that sort of thing.." Or at least, that's what Ariston believed. Was the mare that good? From the sight of things, it only made sense that way.

"So its my fault Wrath became a target? Perfect, then." He hit his hoof on the ground angerly.

Ariston was not amused by the female, and he didn't even react to her silly little action. "Don't touch me, fool." He took a step back, and adjusted his hair. "I choose what females are worthy, you see. I also choose who is able to touch my perfect body. You are too toxic for my tastes, sorry dear." He looked to his daughter, who was watching with bright eyes. "Loveless darling, go make sure Wrath isn't killing himself." He noticed her reaction was not a happy one, but he watched his daughter trot away from them both. That was good, she didn't need to hear this kind of talk.

"You see, Wrath may have fell victum, and I do feel sorry for him," Ariston grinned, pondering his words. "But, I don't do that sort of thing, fall victum, or whatever you speak of. I know your game all too well, sadly. So, I find it more amusing that you strut around like you are so special. You do not know anything about me, and yet you assume that I am so easy?" Ariston moved his head so that he was now copying exactly what Succubus had done to him, except in the opposite ear. "I have never failed either, you know."

As he brought his head back, he was now glaring at her again. "Now then, I hope you are enjoying your silly little game while it lasts, you won't be able to keep Wrath under your spell forever, you know." She would have to learn eventually, there was a reason Sins were, well, Sins and not normal. "He will crush you, and there will be nothing that you can do." He would love to see his friend truimphant over this monster anyhow, he knew it was possible.
