The horses that populated this land were of little consequence to the hyenas as they continued their celebration - and their debate about how they would split up the egg. They had been quarrelling amongst themselves when they noticed her - the mare. What was she to them? Nothing but an earth-bound beast. They ignored her cries of fury, returning to their game as they tried to snatch the egg away from each other and growl their arguments over who got the first bite. That is, they ignore her until she shifted. A lion. A ripple of fear passed through the hyena pack, their shadowy forms billowing in uncertainty before the leader snapped them to attention.

They had fought other lionesses tonight and they had won, what was one more? The two smaller hyenas moved towards her as she had stumbled around dazed after the transformation, their laughter growing cruel as they danced about. What a pitiful predator! The lions were not kings here…

Their goading did not last long. The lioness struck, and though they were made of shadow they were not invincible. Red smoke marked the areas she struck with her massive claws, raking along their smoke-skin and causing howls of pain. These two ran off with no more fight in them - shrieking as they streaked back over the grass to find somewhere they could lick their wounds.

Infuriated by the loss of the upper-hand the greater numbers gave them, the larger hyena swirled around the egg - moving it roughly to and fro as she teased the lioness. Did she know what was hidden in the egg? That it was one of her own.

This hyena snapped back at the lioness, forgetting her prize, the laughter dead and snarls coming in its place as she tries to think her way out of this corner. A swipe to her face with the lioness’s claws was what finally determined her actions. With a roar of anger and pain, she abandoned the fight followed her pack - streaking black and red smoke behind her as she fled. Leaving behind the brown egg, warmed by the glow of the Heart.
