he had found himself following the trail of billowing smoke, questioning why the snowy mountains were burning. the first thought to flicker through his mind are the fools within their icy homes in the Basin, the foolish damsel he had once fallen for living among them. something within the pit of his stomach made him pray that she was burning like a candle within the comfort of her own pitiful home, flesh sizzling and slipping from charring bones. a wicked smirk arises from the devilish beast's lips, whiskers twitching as dark nostrils flare. Stale scents of others hidden by the scent of ash and excitement, perspiration and determination coming in waves. Rounded ears flicker at the sound of voices, stepping forward to find what the fuss was about.

Gathered around a pit within the ice, a group with no age boundaries gathers, babes and adults alike gathered around one another pawing restlessly at the earth beneath. A dark, furry brow rises, lips crawling as thick bodice slips forward quietly, tail twitching with curiosity. neck arches to see what such the fuss was about, meeting the gaze of a white empress upon her throne of treasures, wonderous items sparkling and twinkling within the light. one round, golden piece catches his gaze, a stone or egg of precious proportion. assuming it to be an egg because of the desperation of the others, he steps forward and raises his forelegs from the earth, repeatedly slamming them down and up with body tense.

he works without speaking a word, desiring to know nothing of the intentions of the others. he merely wants to break this egg free and take it as his own. he desires it, he wants the egg more than ever. tongue moistens drying lips, eyes set on the prize, brows knit as the motion of rising up and heaving his weight against the ground is repeated over and over. Fire from a mare licks at the hole, his eyes widening and a strange growl rises from his throat, eyes narrowing at the dappled mare of which the flames had originated. he stops his work and curls a lip, ears flat to reveal the white eyes surrounded by black seas.
