The warmth of the fire crackled and popped with sounds of burning wood. His gray eyes watched it with intent as the flames grew and burned brighter and brighter. His cracked hoof scuffled a small rock closer to the fire in attempt to withhold the burning sparks in the small ring. The cave danced with dark shadows all around and the clouds were upon the Basin. The night had just started with a wicked sunset bringing his curse to life. As he gray eyes looked upon the mountain horizon he watched the last of the light touch the snow covered world. Gray stone orbs closed softly he knew what was coming next. The blistering winds outside called for a stormy night. Just as fast as the sun set his pelt flared with open wounds. The once sealed scars oozed and dripped the crimson substance. Luckily he had only obtained a few wounds since acquiring this curse. The rings where Ashamin had eclectically burnt him on his pasterns oozed in a perfect crimson circle. A few cuts in his onyx pelt opened as well, but it was not all of the scars.

Stone orbs closed as he let the smell from the smoke fill his maw. He knew what this curse was, it come from his father. Nox was immortal, he could never be killed; unless he was decapitated. This cure was passed down in the family, and now he will feel every scar come back to life again from now on. A sigh left his maw, but the warmth of his cave kept it from freezing. The fire was doing it's job on this frozen night. The flickering light danced across his hard features as the crimson blood dripped down upon the stone floor. Gray eyes followed the trail down to the stone. Nox knew as soon as the moon peered back out the pain and bleeding would go away, but nothing else would stop it, Nothing. A grunt left his maw as he lowered his head to throw two more logs into the ever starving fire.

All he had to do was feed the hungry beast and in return it offered him warmth and protection from the frost bite temperatures of the cold season in the Basin. His mind trailed off to the thoughts of Tiamat. It was the only hing to keep his mind off the bleeding scars. That night in the Blue was the best night of his life, he had not seen her to much since then. His feeling were still just as strong, but he knew he had to help her find where she came from. He would do anything for her. He would give her the world if it meant keeping her happy. A small smile crept across his face as she kept on thinking about the blue mare. The pain wilted away, but the scars still bleed and stung. Then thought of the blue mare just made him not feel pain and hurt any longer.

"Talk."

The cold Frost Fall air stung the open wounds as the storm allowed its winds to enter his cave uninvited. His black ghost like body huddles around the roaring fire when he heard another enter his cave. It was not the wind this time though. There was life to the creature walking in, it was someone he knew and well loved. Tiamat shook the winter flakes off her deep blue coat, as stone orbs looked up to meet her eye contact. Her voice was like a sweet song hitting his ears as she greeted him. A lonely smile curled across his face as he looked at her. She had so much life in her soul unlike himself, but when he was with her that all changed. "hello my ocean mare." he chuckled lightly as her eyes finally caught the dripping scars.

Her voice shrilled as she panic took over her whole body. She asked what happened and how it happened. Her blue body rushed to his side asking about herbs and trying to find her own. His muzzled reached out rubbing her cheek ever so softly with his black velvet muzzle. "Nothing Happened love... It's... a Curse that runs in my family. I thought I would be the lucky one and not get it, but I was wrong. I have immortality, I will never be able to die. There is a cost though.. Every stormy night or cloudy night my scars will open once again to bleed. On the clear nights they will glow. " He pressed his large skull against her neck as the crimson substance dripped down his legs and muscles. "The Herbs wont help, only when the clouds and storm clears will it get better. It is not as bad as it looks it only hurts..... a bit" He offered the blue mare a smile to hope she would get more comfortable and to ease her worry. "I am sorry you have to see this." His gray eyes looked down towards the warm fire. He could not stand to see the blue mare upset, especially if it was something that he had done, or his curse had done.

His eyes watched the fire unable to look at the sweet mare. He did not want to see her pain and hurt as she looked at him. He wished he could comfort her by telling her it will all be over soon, but he was not sure when it would end. The demonic crown lowered to push another log closer to the fire. He could at least offer her warmth in this storm. The Fire crackled and spat out embers as the smoke flew out of the opening of the cave. Nox looked back up and into the mares pale eyes. For once his stone orbs glowed with warmth as he looked upon the sweet mare.

"Talk."

@Tiamat

Gray eyes showed sorrow as the blue mare could not stop trying to help him. She wanted to pack his wounds with herbs, but they still bleed. Wounds stung and dripped with crimson substance down his muscled body. His eyes looked to hers as she asked about his curse and when did it happen to him. The words flowed out of his mouth in a husky drawl."It runs in the family, I thought I escaped the curse because when I was three it had not plagued me yet. I guess I was wrong, but there is not always pain every night love... There is beauty with it as well ." He smiled softly pushing his large skull into her neck.

Tears streamed down her face and as he tried to wipe them away she moved to his side. Her warm body softly touch his side and her head rested on his neck. His muscled neck reached over to nuzzle her soft chest. "None of this is your fault Tiamat. You have given everything to me, and I know If you could help this you would try your damnist. Please do not beat your self up, you have too much going for you and your life to beat your self up. Do not let me drag you down. I would never want to pull an angel from heaven, just to make her feel like she is in hell." He knew he was hurting her. Nox knew that she hated anything that had to do with pain and blood. A single tear dripped from his warmed stone eyes.

His heart hurt so bad when she asked if there was nothing that she could do. There was nothing anyone could do, but she could do one thing for him. He just wanted her... She could help him by being his. Gray orbs turned to look at her with a soft smile."I wish you could help this, and I wish I could... But we can't. The only thing you can do for me is just love me for me, because Tiamat I know you might not understand this feeling but I love you. I know you need to learn about your owe self, but you need to just love your self just as much as I do. You have the world going for you, but I feel like you are holding back; because you say you don't know you. I know you and I love what I know about you." He let his emotions run from him as he watched the storm outside blister and blow. Blood still dripped to the stone floor, staining it crimson. Then she asked is it worth living forever, he had to think about that. His head shook softly as he leaned softly into her soft blue pelt."It can be worth it, there is not always pain and suffering. Most nights I am fine, and it does not really bother me too much. It looks worse than what it really is. Now If I had to live my life with out you in it, that may be different." He chuckled slightly nuzzling her chest again. The scars bleed and burnt, but he ignored the pain to try and keep her happy. He would give his life for her happines.

"Talk."

OOC:: <3 :')

She asked the simple question of what beauty and his gray eyes wondered over the clouds storming outside. He watched with a smile creeping across is maw and his eyes just sat cold for a moment. If only the beauty would reveal its self. She would understand what he was saying, magic can be dark, but not all is so bad. Sometimes things look worse then what they really are. Just as he was about to answer her question the clouds dissipated and the moon started to peak around from its blanket of storms. The crystal clear night was upon the Basin once more and the weeping cuts began to heal. They did not scab nor drip a single drop of the crimson blood. They sealed shut like nothing was ever there, and his pelt looked normal once again. One thing was different the intertwining scars held a eerie glow to them. They looked as if his soul was trying t reach out and touch the blue mare.

Softened eyes watched the mare he had started to fall in love with. "You see, not all curses are bad all the time. It is the storms and clouds that bring them to bleed. When it is clear they glow." Honey soaked words dripped from his lips has he spoke. There was not a single ounce of blood left on his body, but the cave floor was soaked with the horrors. He frowned slightly as he looked her her pelt, she was still covered in his blood. Nox reached out to comfort the mare as she spoke her words. His cheek brushed against the bloody shoulder of the ocean mare. "Be my angel then and pull me to heaven with you... Save my soul and never leave me. Guide me to the right path and be there for me if I fall down." He smiled softly knowing the mare had so much to learn. " Teach me and I will teach you. We will learn from each other my Love. I know you have a lot to learn, but so do I. I think we can do anything Together.." He chuckled slightly. She made him feel something he has never felt before. "I can now see the world is wonderful with the help of you. Tiamat I feel like I can now see the world and its wonders like you see it.." He smiled brightly as she asked about the wounds once again. "Now that they are fully healed and have this light glow feel no pain any more." He took a step closer to her so his shoulder touched hers. His demonic skull reached to touch her spine softly. His maw parted softly to groom her with a light touch as his stone colored eyes shut for a moment taking in everything, and thinking about only them at this point of time.

"Talk."

OOC:: I AM SOOOO BAD!!!!!! IM SOOOO SORRY!!!!!!!! <3
