Every kind word from the blue lightning colt felt like a cold knife to Mesec’s stomach – wrenching and tearing as they dug in. He didn’t deserve the love of this colt or his friendship – certainly he did not deserve his faith. How long had it been since Mesec had done anything even remotely close to justifying such treatment?

Too long ago to remember now. He was losing the fight against the monster inside of him and it did not afford him any attention to respond in words to Zero’s misplaced kindness nor the capacity to form complete coherent thoughts.

What he could do was scream. Mesec screamed in agony like he had the first time this had happened - the fight with his Mother in the Green Labyrinth, the day Aviya died. This agony went deeper than the physical pain – Mesec felt as though his soul was being ripped from him this time. It was so much than all the others. He screamed as his body shifted, his last conscious thoughts were that he would give anything to stop it right here and right now to spare Zero further pain. His silver eyes were shut tight, too much of a coward to look at his young friend as this was happening - as he proved Zero wrong. He wasn’t safe and he was going to prove it in the most terrible way.

He prayed to his mother, to the sun god, and to their brothers - to anyone who would listen.

But it was too little too late.

Mesec collapsed to the ground and the screaming only stopped when the shift ended and the heaving sides belonged to a great, black and silver warg instead of his normal self.

Those pupilless silver eyes would have matched Mesec’s perfectly except that they were devoid of all emotion except one: anger. It was a rare emotion in the demigod but it was the driving force behind the warg. It was angry at everything. The expression was only enhanced by the blood that dripped down its face from the talons of Lucius who had been unsuccessful in his attempts to ground Mesec. Now the zephyr flew in distressed circles overhead, crying loudly. What was he to do? Protect Zero as much as he could, he knew that, but that may mean harming Mesec further. And each time he drew blood from his own bonded was another fracture in his heart.

With a grunt, the warg clamoured to its feet and shook itself - bits of fur flying off into the pale red light of the rising sun that filtered through the trees. It stretched in a luxurious fashion, momentarily looking little more than a ridiculously large dog, as it re-accustomed itself to being in this form. Roughly the same size as he had been in horse-form, this was no ordinary wolf.

But then, Zero had seen this before. He would already know.

Blazing silver eyes sought out the colt and then the warg moved quickly. It bounded directly for Zero – its lips pulled back from dangerous fangs as it snarled. Instead of leaping and trying to take the colt down immediately, it instead charged straight forward. Snapping its teeth, it aimed these quick effortless bites low on Zero’s legs. The goal right now was not so much to harm as it was to goad the colt into running.

After all, what was a hunt without a little sport?



-------
1/?* attacks

continued from: in the shade of poison trees
setting: Blood Falls, in the forest just after sunrise

* this is for Mesec's quest
"1. Turn into a warg and spar someone until they're within 15 HP (so very nearly dead, by our blackjack rules), and then stop the fight." given out here
so there is an undetermined amount of attacks until someone is within 15 HP
