<sup>Oh, why was I here? What had possessed me to travel the impressive distance to this Mordrid Lake? To confront the disgusting waste of hide that was this so called Wulfsbayne? I suppose so. It was funny really, usually I cared not for the happenings of horses that did not effect Darks. But still, here I was, in this Gods forsaken patch of land, and still I was traveling forwards. My best guess was that I was here to better understand this new entity that was the Non Believers. For countless ages it has been Dark versus Light versus Neutral. And none have questioned that. And I understood who was to be battled and fought and slaughtered. But now, Wulfsbayne and his forming...kingdom threatened the delicate balance of enemies and allies. Confront me with a light; I know to kill; confront me with a neutral; I know to kill, confront me with a Non Believer; should I kill or manipulate? One thing was for sure, that I despised these horses more so then I thought possible. But at the same time, I did not know if it was possible to look past their beliefs and become allies or not.

The stench of the equine inhabiting this part of Dawn hit me with a physical wave of illness. Bile rose to my throat, threatening to spill from my lips. I fought the nausea and slowly regained control. One of the scents I recalled was that of...Kamen. A bitter smile spread across my lips. So when he failed to get into my bed he decided to drop the dark alliance all together. How interesting; his loyally and fickle alliance did not surprise me, though I had thought more would come from him due to his brilliant pedigree. Son of the Baron and Baroness of the rule of King Oriel and Queen Layla. And now he was here, probably trying to beg for a position like a dog begging for scrapes. Atleast he would no longer be trouble for me and my people. Some relief born of an issue; splendid.

Parting my lips, I let a bold summons slip from my beautiful throat. In the brush besides me, a small flock of birds darted from the safety of the thicket. Disgruntled, they settled again in the foliage a few yards from me. Suddenly, I felt small tremors at the base of my spine, little shivers creeping up my back, as if I was being watched. A sense a stirring up ahead. A flash of red pelt, keen watchful eyes, a brilliant white tail. A fox. Layla. In an instant it was gone, as if it had never been there. I could only imagine my...delightful mother giggling to herself as she antagonized her only daughter, before running off to enjoy the worldly pleasures of her immortal King Oriel. With a sneer, I awaited the approach of anyone, not knowing what to expect.</sup>

[ox. scream, flatline]

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure

The stench filled m y nares with a rather unpleasant surprise. , yet my carcass straightened, oh my what a surprise. A god descending from mount high to mingle with the commoners, now if this didn’t just tickle me ever so softly. I growled as I moved toward the odor which filled my nares, this was the one who claimed to be the goddess of darkness. I laughed, how twisted can her little mind get. My sorrel barrel moved fluidly over the lands which I had claimed to own and love, though its people I neglected, it would seem that many were coming from the shadows and claiming their alliance to that which I represented. Anarchy. I grinned, my pearly ivories unveiled by my ebony plush this little damsel would grow to hate me more than she could ever imagine. I laughed with a pure satanic joy as I descended from the rocky cliffs that overhung Mordrid lake. My mind caring me further away as I began to remember all the reason why I didn’t believe in a god, any god. They call themselves gods and demand your respect but who’s gods are they? Not mine, no but I have had brothers die for them , and it was in their names that I claimed my lands and named them. Mordrid, Tamarack, and Grundor, all dead for a religious crusade that we did not believe in. We fought for land and country, who’s land? Not ours. Fuck it, I said, fuck them. The gods, they are nothing with out followers, and soon enough everyone will turn their backs on them. My mind buzzed with the hatred that filled my black little heart, its what I have always wanted to kill a so called god, but no not today, today its time to play. Who’s the cat, who’s the mouse. Are you afraid, no not yet you have no reason to be you don’t know me, but soon enough my dear, soon enough you learn that your cryptic mind control that causes your lands to conform will not work on me, and you will see who truly has the upper hand in my lands.

I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all healed of their lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command

My stride was relaxed, and arrogant. I was much bigger than she could she try any of her witchery on my I could have her pinned before she even knew what hit. I am like that, I am like that of a wolf, hence my name I didn’t get it because it sounded cool. Not I have always had a strange obsession that I should have been born a predator of the night. I kill when I want, I eat what I want, I do pretty welll when comes to murder, however I lack the appetite to eat my kills, but has always fascinated me. When I was young my mother said I was a lunatic. Literally acting up in the middle of the full moon, eyes wid with an untold fury that can from nothing more than the troubled spirit I was born with. My mind, oh yes it was all twisted up wasn’t. All fucked up. So messed up it was perfect to live as me. A powerful stallion with all this lands, everyone wanting to love and embrace you because I am my own self pronounced King, and no god is going to tell me otherwise. Or is that what you are here for sweetie. Or maybe you couldn’t resist me. Ha I laughed my twisted mind working its way, every where. It’s a dangerous thing to wander here alone, I don’t give a care who you are really, what difference does it make to me if you a god, im still a disrespectful pig. I snickered for my amuzement as I eyesd the silver princess

Now we are in trouble aren’t we lass. Claim business on my lands vix.

I can guide a missile by satellite
and I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
and I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust

<sup>I could not help but sneer with distain as the beast thundered his way towards me. My lips were curled back in a hellish snarl that only the likes of me could conjure up. Hate and aggression quite literally dripped from me, tempting me to plunge my teeth into his hide and to cause damage. Never before had I been possesed by such a need to simply cause harm. To destroy, kill, whatever. There was just a sense of boldness and arrogance that surrounded him that made me want to show this miserable commoner his place. While I barely stood the two light sisters, atleast they were right in claiming the lead of the heaven worshipers. For Gods sakes they shared part of my own bloodline! Renouncing their godlike blood would declare my own unearthly line false. And I was not so unwise as to declare anything to arise suspicion that I was not who I said I was. While most knew personally the gods, some knew only from word of mouth. It was most likely the younger generations that were slowly drifting to this disgusting place.

The creature approached with a casual air that disturbed me. He walked, more like sauntered, his way until he was close enough to fight, had the notion been finalized in my mind. Seething with hate and discomfort, I pinned my harks at his words. A purpose here? I suppose I did not have a legitimate reason per say for being here, but he would not need to know that tidbit. It was more curiousity I suppose that had drawn me here. But now was as good a time as ever to warn him what it was going to be like, as a non believer. And if our little chat went pleasently, which was unlikely, perhaps a little alliance might be made. With a short bark of a humorless laugh, I started my own words.

Creature, I am far from in trouble. If you and your kind refuse to know me as a god, then know me by Laioni, not slanders. And if you think you can over power me, then I dare you. I strongly suggest against it.</sup>
