Ring a round a rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down

“Cineviam.

The charcoal brute with the smoldering ember-eyes identified himself. Delivered in a voice that was deep, powerful, spoken just above a whisper but made the impact of a shout. His gaze was still anchored on the brown reptile, retreating further up the equines neck to get away from him, and he cannot help but chuckle. So far, he was a fairly benign presence in their little threesome (foursome if you counted the bonded creature). When he meant to be intimidating – you’d know it.

It is a nauseatingly warm smile that passes against Cineviam’s ink-chapped lips as he tilted his coarse, Spanish-head to the side as if to ask where the dragon was going. He shifts his weight so that his haunches were slanted toward the ground, one leg resting on hoof tip. Hoping this new stance would further lull the dragon into a false sense of security since he seemed to be the only one who needed convincing. It wouldn’t do to frighten the visitors before they revealed their purpose and Mauja had concluded whether they were welcome or not.

The barest hint of a storm cloud settled upon his brow, scarlet eyes narrowing upon the trespassing stallion when he spoke of a master. Powerful, up-and-coming leaders were more inconspicuous in gathering followers. They stuck to the threshold and neutral grounds, singling out a lone mare or stallion. In Cineviam’s experience, only religious nuts traipsed into already occupied lands alone and eager to convert, faithful that their god would protect and guide them. The sooty leviathan didn’t ask the peaches and cream stallion to elaborate. Why ask a question that he already knew the answer to?

Instead he let the frost-king do all the talking and leant a patient curve-tipped ear to Torasin, waiting for the equine to launch into a spiel about damnation and salvation or whatever sales-pitch the equine thought would work on the unicorns of The World’s Edge.
