OOC: hnnng the thread title song <3333

She was not a godly woman. She had worshipped Cinnoru, of Isilme, but her faith had been shattered when his son helped destroy the land she had grown up in. She had watched as it burnt, knowing that her family were likely burning with it. It was safe to say that she shunned any notion of an otherworldly force, as what god would allow their subjects to die screaming in fire and brimstone? It was far better to believe that gods were naught but a fallacy, and they had nothing to rely on but their own wits and the strength of their bodies.

But even Nyx - heathen that she was - could not deny that there was something supernatural about this place. Whether it was the volcano bubbling in the distance, or the thick pools of lava that glimmered dangerously beneath her hooves, she couldn't quite decide - all she knew was that the fur along her spine was bristling, doglike, and every muscle in her body felt tense and tight in preparation to bolt. Her ears were flattened to her skull, the whites of her eyes visible as she continued walking forwards despite her overwhelming urge to flee. She was nothing if not curious, perhaps stupidly so, and was keen to prove to herself that there was nothing here out of the ordinary. She continued to plod forwards, emboldened by her thirst for adventure, ignoring the fact that one wrong step off this path and she would be devoured by the searing magma.

That was when she saw it - a horned dog-beast, red markings adorning his body, and she lifted her head to release a shrill whinny of fear. It was a carnivore, a demon from the pits of hell, and Nyx backed away from it until her back hoof slipped from the ledge in a shower of stones. Trapped, the iron mare did the only thing she could think of; threw herself forwards in a headlong gallop, soaring past the dog-thing and towards the fuzzy outlines of two equines in the distance. As she neared, she noted that they were both unicorns and both stallions; under normal circumstances she would have left them to converse between themselves, but she had been well and truly spooked by the hellhound on the path and sought any hoofed company that she could find. "Sorry to disturb....but...dog-thing...path....demon..." She wheezed out the only words she could manage, winded by her sudden gallop and the preceeding long walk from the World's Edge. She glanced between the two men, barely even noticing the shrines nearby - her fear had given her tunnel vision.
