Nasreen nodded to Kahlua—she was itching to tell her about her adventures thus far. But before she had a chance to reply, the sound of hooves on moss caught her attention once more. The wall was busy tonight. The splash mare pricked her ears, peering into the shadowy depths of the woods. Who was this newcomer? Her grey eyes widened in innocent anticipation.
A figure reached the treeline, and stepped into the moonlight. Time seemed to stand still. She?--it was unlike anything Nasreen had ever seen, and unlike anything she ever hoped to see again. It was dark, decayed, diseased. Its voice was high, nightmarish, crooning a lullabye that simultaneously sent a chill down her spine and licked at her heart like a ravenous flame. “Eenie meenie miney moe. Catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers let him go. Eenie. Meenie. Miney. Moe...”
Its shrill sing-song was drowned out only by Nasreen’s scream. The pegasus was frozen, mouth open in one long, unending note of terror, as the demon advanced on Kahlua. Bony, bloody, evil…with great ragged wings sprouting from torn shoulders, wings that reached to embrace Kahlua and swallow her whole. Adrenaline and fear surged through Nasreen’s veins at this realization. It was as if the demon had sensed it. “One by one you will all fall,” it hissed. Was it just her, or did those red eyes flicked from Kahlua to Nasreen as she cackled? Nasreen had never known terror like this before—not when she had escaped from a burning homeland, not when Amara had died and left her alone in the woods, not when she had entered this strange land. Without a thought to the others, she flung herself towards the sky, copper and pearl wings churning madly to take her away from the horror below.
OOC: late, late, late, but I wanted to specify what happened to Nasreen
