ooc: <3 I was secretly hoping you'd join!

The smell of ash and molten lava was unpleasant, but cloaked in shadowy clouds, it did not burn her nostrils. It was strange to inhale the scent of fire and smoke without feeling the burn that came with it, nor the alarm or fear. It did not call the same sensation of terror or the need to flee to her breast, instead she felt calm, assertive, confident. Cloaked by darkness given to her by the deity she so revered, she felt no fear or reservation. She strode toward the mouth which brimmed with fire, her smoky hooves hardly touching the ground; she felt as light and carefree as the smoky black which surrounded her black frame.

A voice called out to her and she turned her head to see the speaker, none other than Mirage. She was stricken, then, by the word sister, and how true the statement could have been at that moment. Aside from the large, draconian wings and she shape of their bodies, they easily could have been sisters. When cloaked by the ebony shade of darkness, Couth was every bit Mirage's sister, both in colour and in the way their magic worked though Couth's was temporary and Mirage's was permanent. She smiled and nodded, flicking her ears forward and whickering to Mirage to express her gratitude.

She arched her wings above her frame and stretched them out. She reared back before she leapt forward, loping a few paces before her wings lifted her into the air with powerful, sweeping motions. She climbed into the hot air and circled above the mouth of flames, watching them and studying their patterns. When she was absolutely sure, she dove down just as the ground erupted in flames which rose high into the sky and engulfed the black figure. But rather than feeling the singe and tear of flames, Couth felt nothing more than a breeze engulf her body; she was untouched. She burst from the flames as a phoenix might, her wings and body still engulfed in the shadowy cloak. Now knowing the sensation of passing through flames, Couth circled toward the ground, landing close to Mirage. She walked forward, still coated with a sheen of black with a smoke that wavered about her, tossing and whirling with her main and tail, and touched her nose to Mirage's cheek. "Look at us; we maight be twins," She said, mirth singing in her voice.
